Mrs. Fang told Fang Ming to bring the white flour buns, and the two of them went to the Wang family's home together.
The Wang family was in the middle of a meal—white flour buns, the dishes Wang Daguo had brought back, and a plate of Insect Cakes. If the main meal didn't fill them up, the Insect Cakes were there to tide them over.
When he heard a knock on the door, Wang Daguo asked who it was. Only after getting a reply did he go to open it.
"Mrs. Fang, Fang Ming, what brings you here?" Wang Daguo let them into the house.
The Wang family's home was already small for the five people living there. With two more people inside, it felt even more crowded.
Seeing that she had interrupted their meal, Mrs. Fang felt quite awkward. But since they were already there, she figured it was best to state her purpose quickly so as not to keep them from their food.
"Fang Ming and I have come to apologize."
"Apologize?" The Wang family exchanged confused glances.
