Qin Zhenzhen pointed to a specific portion of the meat. These parts have unique patterns. Were having hot pot today, and I have all the necessary ingredients.

Qin Erlongs eyes lit up. Is it the same method you mentioned before? Thinly slicing the meat, blanching it in boiling water, and then dipping it in sauce?

Qin Zhenzhen nodded. Exactly.

Qin Erlong a.s.sisted her in cutting the beef.

Curious, Qin Zhenzhen inquired about the issue they had disagreed on earlier.

Qin Erlong recounted the entire incident.

Qin Zhenzhen couldnt help but chuckle. Perhaps her Fourth Brothers rebirth wasnt such a bad thing after all.

She had been concerned about turning her four brothers into troublemakers, which would have caused her headaches.

Unexpectedly, fate had given her a helping hand.

With Fourth Brothers presence, she was certain that he would positively influence the other three.

Reflecting on it, her four brothers were not as bad as she initially thought.

After having lunch in town, Qin Zhenzhen even a.s.sisted her brothers in selling pork and beef before returning to her mothers home alongside Fourth Brother.

Upon arriving home, Qin Zhenzhen was called into a room by her grandmother.

Despite the situation, Qin Zhenzhen did not feel burdened.

Grandma harbored suspicions regarding her true ident.i.ty, prompting her to interrogate Qin Zhenzhen once again.

Qin Zhenzhen might have been fearful that if her secret were exposed by her grandmother, she would be treated as a monster by her own family.

However, with the rebirth of her Fourth Brother, she no longer harbored fear.

Grandma Qin instructed her to close the door.

After a brief silence, Grandma Qin posed a question, What is your purpose in pretending to be my granddaughter? Qin Zhenzhen was taken aback.

What possible purpose could she have?

What was Grandma concerned about?

Grandma, I am truly Zhenzhen!

How many times must I a.s.sure you before you believe me? If I were an imposter, wouldnt my parents and brothers see through me? Is that even possible?

Even Grandma Qin was bewildered.

Qin Zhenzhen was correct. If she were an imposter, she would have undoubtedly revealed some inconsistencies.

However, the unease Grandma felt was not entirely baseless.

As someone gifted in the culinary arts, Qin Zhenzhen possessed an acute sense of smell.

Even if she were blindfolded with 100 different ingredients laid out before her, she could accurately identify each one.

There was something about the girl standing before her that she had never encountered before. That much was certain.

Regardless, she couldnt sever her ties with her own granddaughter.

Grandma Qin attempted to compose herself.

Then tell me, have you experienced any fortuitous encounters recently?

Qin Zhenzhen responded straightforwardly, Would dreaming count? What kind of dreams?

Someone taught me how to cook and make seasonings, for example Qin Zhenzhen began, but before she could finish her sentence, Grandma Qin grew visibly excited, pointing at her with trembling fingers.

Who sent you? Grandma Qin demanded.

Qin Zhenzhen was taken aback. Who sent me here?

Realizing that she had misspoken, Grandma Qin clammed up, but her agitation was palpable.

Qin Zhenzhen understood.

She couldnt believe that her grandmother didnt have any secrets of her own.

Taking the initiative, Qin Zhenzhen said, Grandma, youre always so suspicious, which makes me suspect that youre hiding a significant secret from us.

Grandma Qin persistently asked her about any secrets she might be keeping, as if she were determined to uncover them.

Grandma Qin waved her hands dismissively.. You may leave now!
