"Hey!" Su Xing and Taoming Ye quickly responded, then exchanged smiles filled with sweetness.
Madam Huo watched this scene, only chuckling and shaking her head without saying anything further. She glanced at the gifts for the homecoming before speaking, "Xin'er said these gifts emptied your own reserves. Don't worry about it; I have only Xin'er as a granddaughter. I wouldn't let you take these gifts back, but after I'm gone, won't these things still belong to Xin'er?"
Taoming Ye hurriedly said, "It's as it should be. Why would Míngyè be concerned? If I had more, I would have brought some more."
Madam Huo nodded in satisfaction.
Su Xing, however, grew upset, "Grandmother, why do you keep mentioning life and death, knowing full well I'm superstitious about it, yet you keep talking about it!"
