Now, a few years ago, in an more innocent time, Wei Wuxian would have just enjoyed seeing A-Yuan light up with anticipation and thought no more of it. He had a vague idea of what things cost, and at what price point costs would become a concern, but other than that, he paid it very little mind. It was a privilege, he knew, but one that came with his life.
But he's had to fend for himself and others for a while now. The cost concerns of balancing what they can bring in from their crops versus what what they need to survive out here is an equation he knows quite well by now.
Things aren't adding up.
Wei Wuxian subsides behind his glorified 'table', still unwilling to raise his concerns in front of A-Yuan, but ready to pounce the moment the child is out of earshot. He doesn't blame Wen Ning - frankly, it's more than a minor miracle the man can go into town alone, but maybe he gave him too large a burden.
