Aunt Tian, things would have been easier for us if either of you told us about it.
We talked to Ah Zai.
Regarding the jar of straw mushrooms in the kitchen...
Learning from defeats is part of growing up.
I'm sorry, Captain Mi, for causing you so much trouble.
We have a few questions for Aunt Tian.
You can try having a little faith in Ah Zai.
Ah Zai got all sorts of ideas and inherited his mother's temper. Once he made up his mind, not even ten burdenbeasts can rein him in. I hardly have time to take proper care of him.
I was hoping to get that available stall so I don't have to work from my noodle cart again. The kid might even decide to come back and help at a proper shop...
Really sorry about making a scene, Captain Mi. I'll make some extra sweet rice cakes for the watchguards tomorrow.
It's alright.
Mi Fu and Aunt Tian! You're still here.
What happened?
Ah Zai said that Aunt Tian took his stuff.
Aunt Tian, I better leave this to you.
Oh darlings, you really went out of your way...
I really want Ah Zai to inherit my business so he'll have an easier time in life...
I tried talking sense but he raised his voice and riled me up. So after delivering some food to his place, I just decided to clean up his mistakes.
I'm not making things hard for him. As elders, we must rein in the young ones before they smash themselves into a wall.
But Ah Zai told us he needs these straw mushrooms for an important event.
Oh...? Well, maybe I didn't know about that. But Ah Zai is a kid with all sorts of crazy ideas. I don't want him to feel defeated...
You're right... Ah Zai's all grown up now...
But he kept adding straw mushrooms to the noodles instead of proper meat... He's ruining the brand name!
We should let the competition decide, then. I should see, with my own eyes, what that kid is up to.
