Ah Yu nodded. "I know."
Meatball was still supervising her, so she naturally knew her limits and wouldn't make a fool of herself like when she was young.
The conversation between the mother and daughter stunned the people who came to drink the water. They held the bowl in their hands and looked at it for a long time, hesitating if they should drink it.
Liu Shi noticed that person's hesitation and asked, "Why aren't you drinking?"
That person said, "…Isn't this ordinary tea? Is there any tonic in it? We're poor people and can't use such good things. If there's any in it, I won't drink it."
Liu Shi was caught between laughter and tears. "It's fine, it's fine. Drink it. It's not valuable. It's just ordinary tea."
She didn't explain why she said that to Ah Yu. It was already vague enough. The more she explained, the more suspicious it would be. It was better to let them guess for themselves.
