Jian Yining glanced at her in surprise but said nothing.
Mired in her own thoughts from which she could not extricate herself, Shi Youxuan continued to mutter to herself, "Tsk tsk, look at these lotus roots, how thick and plump they are. It's such a pity to throw them away..."
As she spoke, the car that had gone out to buy groceries returned.
Since there were many people dining, almost a full pickup truck of fish, meat, vegetables, and grains was brought back.
Servants were unloading from the car: ribs, fresh fish, pork, beef, mutton, various vegetables and fruits, grains, oils, and even a basket of lotus roots!
"Ah, for crying out loud!"
Shi Youxuan stomped her foot in anger, "Are these people insane? There are so many lotus roots by the shore, and still they buy more? Aren't the fish in the lake enough to eat? No, I can't just stand by and watch them waste like this!"
As she was about to go out, she passed by Jian Yining who grabbed her arm, "Where are you off to, huh?"
