Victor Cui hadn't returned home so early for some days. Madam Xu heard the announcement in the backyard and hurriedly ordered the kitchen to prepare food for him. She also peeled a few crabs herself, poured clear green chrysanthemum wine, and brought them to him.

Victor Cui had no appetite at all. He reluctantly picked up the peeled crab roe with his chopsticks and put them down. He asked, "Have you arranged for someone to deliver the monthly allowance to Brother Xie?"

Mrs. Emma's smile faltered slightly, and she answered in a low voice, "I have already asked Cui Ming to go. Brother Xie lives in the county, so it is not convenient to send rice and vegetables, make clothes and bedding, etc., so I asked Cui Ming to exchange it for silver and send it to him. I also asked him to go to the farm and tell him to send a list of Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to Brother Xie. Does the master have anything else to send to Brother Xie?"
