They were all remnants from the tables of other masters.

Xiao Dengzi noticed and was somewhat surprised.
"Sister Hua Cha, what's wrong? Has someone bullied you?"
When Hua Cha heard him approach, she quickly wiped her face with a handkerchief and asked, "Why have you come?"
Xiao Dengzi, seeing her eyes red from crying, faintly sensed that something was amiss.
"Sister Hua Cha, what has happened to our master these past few days?"
"Did she offend someone?"
Life was so good before; how did it suddenly come to this!
