At dinnertime.
Nan Feng kept observing Xia Dabao.
She seemed distracted and kept shoveling food into her mouth without picking up a single vegetable.
Nan Feng glanced at Ye Ge, who had also noticed Xia Dabao's off state, but as it was a young lady's private thoughts, he felt embarrassed to mention it.
Xia Dabao finished eating quickly, put down her bowl, and said to Nan Feng, "Mom, I'm full. Call me after you've finished eating, I'll do the dishes."
"You don't need to, if you have something to do, go ahead. I can wash the dishes," Nan Feng replied.
"Then thank you, Mom. Oh, I haven't spread the fish fodder yet, I'll go do that now," Xia Dabao said.
"Alrighty."
Xia Dabao carried the fish fodder to the fish pond, scattering it absentmindedly.
She was mainly troubled by her own issues.
She had also heard the villagers discussing her earlier, asking whom she would choose, whether to become a lady in the Capital City or the shopkeeper at the neighboring village's fruit garden.
