A 55-year-old stall owner who declined to be named said the father sold vegetables at one of the stalls he rented, and lives in the second stall with his daughter.The stall owner said since she opened her stall at the market in 2014, she noticed the girl and her father spending a lot of time at their stall, even after the market was closed for the day.

He said: “Even though she doesn’t speak, she always seems cheerful. At times, she would touch her stomach and gesture to me that she was hungry, so I would buy her food.
