Xiao Hong shook the little buns on top of her head, took two pieces of candy from her pocket, and handed them to Brother Cheng and Sister Yu.
Seeing them take it, she said, "Having some candy makes you feel less sad. In the past, I could only have candy during the New Year and festivals. But after coming to the main house, since the Old Madam's teeth aren't good, all the candy goes to us little maids. Whenever I'm unhappy or miss home, I take two pieces to sweeten my mouth."
"Before, I only thought about going to Wutong Garden, where there are plenty of vacancies, and I could raise my monthly pay, sending more money back home. I didn't expect you all to come... Now that you're going to live at Mr. Cheng's house, how can the Old Madam and the Marquis be at ease? Even if Young Master Cheng didn't mention it then, the Old Madam would still want me and Sister Zihe to follow and take care of you."
Brother Cheng snorted lightly and stuffed the candy into his mouth.
