Ah Qing was feeling down, and in a moment of slip, accidentally let out her own secrets. But luckily, after spending this period together, she already considered Harano half a confidant—second only to Ah Man. Harano was "kind and compassionate" by nature, willing to lose money selling medicine to save poor villagers, and even after winning against her, didn't humiliate her. He would remember if she'd eaten, worry if she was too bored, and was willing to spend time teaching her how to read—truly a very kind and gentle person.
Since Harano was, in her mind, such a good person, even if they exposed some of their background, it didn't matter. In fact, in the future, they'd have to take him with them to beg for food, so he'd find out sooner or later. Chatting with him about it now didn't seem to be a problem.
