Madam Zhou looked at the young girl who had grown quite a bit taller, now a head taller than her, and couldn't help but feel both joy and heartache.
"Why have you lost so much weight? Haven't the people below taken good care of you?" Madam Zhou stood on her toes and reached out to touch her face.
Wufu smiled and said, "It's the bitter summer now, so I haven't eaten much. Although I've lost some weight, my spirit is good."
"You've suffered so much!" Madam Zhou wiped the tears from the corner of her eye with the back of her hand.
"Miss, Madam, let's get on the carriage and talk when we return to the inn?" Jadeite stepped forward with a smile and said, "There are people coming and going here, and it's hot."
"Alright." Wufu glanced at Madam Zhou's protruding belly and personally helped her onto the carriage.
The dock wasn't far from the town; after just a quarter-hour's ride, they returned to the inn they had booked and went to freshen up.
