Yun Jiao looked at him, "Why aren't you going in?"
Ah Tie tugged at the tattered clothes he was wearing, "I, I'll just be a servant from now on. I won't go inside, I'll just stay outside."
Mrs. Chen overheard the words from inside the room. She shook her head, "This child, sigh, he's quite simple-minded."
She pulled Ah Tie into the room and looked him up and down, "These clothes of yours—" even using them as rags would be disgraceful.
She didn't have the heart to say the rest.
Mrs. Chen shook her head, "Wait here, I'll find you a set of Da Lang's old clothes."
She went into Jiang Youzhi's room and rummaged around, eventually finding an old set of clothes Jiang Youzhi had worn a few years ago, a blue jacket and pants that had two patches and were worn to fraying edges from washing.
She handed the clothes to Ah Tie and pointed to the kitchen, "Go fetch water yourself for a bath, and after washing, change into these clothes. Just throw out the ones you are wearing."
