Zhuang Xiaoai was angry and sad, so she yelled at Xia Xibei, who came in. Her small stature made her look more like a p.i.s.sed off kitten, showing her teeth but with not much aggression.

Zhuang Xiaoai thought the bad guys were the ones who came in, but when she saw who it was, she froze.

Who are you?

Xia Xibei had changed her appearance and looked much more ordinary, so Zhuang Xiaoai couldnt recognize her.

I I heard that there is good food here, so I came over

Xia Xibeis mind worked quickly and she immediately came up with a good excuse.

Before, Zhuang Xiaoai had said that she had good cooking skills, and with the pots and pans outside, this was likely a small restaurant selling food.

This reason made Zhuang Xiaoai frown.

How do you know?

I heard about it from others, Xia Xibei explained casually.

Oh. She didnt think too much about it, and she could only nod. But youre in the wrong place today, were a little busy and were not open.

She wiped her tears away, her demeanor a bit wilted.

Did something happen? Xia Xibei couldnt help but ask.

Its nothing, just a little trouble. Youd better go back now and come later Forget it, there is no later. Zhuang Xiaoai showed a bitter smile, If its meant to be in the future, I will make you a meal.

These words made Xia Xibei raise her eyebrows. It seemed the situation was much more troublesome than she had expected.

While they were talking, an old lady came out from the inside.

The old lady was probably in her sixties, with white hair and wrinkles on her face, but her eyes were kind.

Her hands and feet were obviously a bit unsteady, but when she saw Xia Xibei, she still showed a gentle smile.

Hi! What are you doing here?

Grandma, Im here to eat.

Xia Xibeis words made the old grandmothers smile become brighter, like that of a blooming flower.

However, when she thought of what happened at home, her smile froze again.

Sorry, we cant make food now.

Its okay, I came at a bad time! Xia Xibei hurriedly laughed.

Grandma! Go sit down! Zhuang Xiaoai helped Grandma to sit down while admonis.h.i.+ng her, Didnt I tell you to rest inside? Why did you come out again?

Its you who should rest. Grandma patted Zhuang Xiaoais hand, Youve been tired for days! Its time to take a break!

She looked at the chaos outside, her eyes a bit sad.

As for these things outside, we dont need them. Grandma has lived for many years. Its enough, so dont wear yourself out.

These words made Zhuang Xiaoais eyes turn red.

Grandma, what are you talking about?! You havent lived long enough! Youll be with me for many more decades!

Grandma laughed, patting her arm, and didnt argue with her anymore.

She knew that this child was stubborn and would not listen so easily.

Sorry to interrupt, but whats wrong with Grandmas health?

Xia Xibei spoke carefully.

Grandma smiled, Nothings wrong, just some little problems.

Zhuang Xiaoai didnt nod, but she didnt deny it either.

Seeing that they did not want to talk to her, a stranger, Xia Xibei did not continue to ask.

Grandma, you sit down first. Ill go pack up the things outside.

Zhuang Xiaoai walked out and started to clean up the things that were knocked over on the floor, with Xia Xibei following suit.

There was a spilled pot on the table, and when she turned it over, there was some marinated meat underneath, still a little warm.

Xia Xibei reached down and picked up a piece, putting it in her mouth.

After a few chews, her eyes lit up.

Delicious!
