Aunt Liu was deeply moved to see that He Tiantian had guessed her intention. There was a shortage of food at home, not enough to eat, and her youngest son had fallen ill, all their money gone on his care. The grain distribution hadn't come yet, and the child had no nourishment in his belly, looking especially thin. The meat might be tastier than eggs, but couldn't be eaten for long periods, especially not by a child with a weak stomach, but these wild chicken eggs would be just right.
"These were found by everyone, it wouldn't be right for me to take too many," Aunt Liu said. Although she really wanted them, she felt embarrassed in front of so many people. These people, even if they had just arrived at Qijia Village, were all older than she was and conducted themselves well in society. Putting herself in their shoes, she felt ashamed to make things difficult for them.
