Kapitel 405: Chapter 405: In the Middle of the Third Watch of the Night

Xuexue's movements, though not hurried, were graceful; however, she quickly emptied the basin of meat. Old Lady Mo watched, her eyes wide and mouth agape, unable to react. By the time she came to her senses, there was only a little red-cooked pork left in the basin.

"This…"

"Grandma, you better go back now. It'll be dark soon, and you won't be able to see the road. We don't want you to fall, dear old lady." Xuexue handed the nearly empty basin to Old Lady Mo and gently pushed her out of the temporary kitchen, her concern evident in her voice.

"You... you... I, I." Old Lady Mo looked at Xuexue, then down at the basin, at a loss for words.

"Don't worry, tomorrow I will ask my mother to send you two pounds of meat!" Xuexue said smilingly to Old Lady Mo.

Hearing this, the villagers who were eating praised her, saying that Xuexue was a truly filial girl. Despite being separated from the Mo family, she still took such good care of the Mo's.
