After chatting for a while, Shen Mianmian took them to the shop and then treated them to shredded pork noodles, taking the opportunity to discuss the opening of the business the day after next.
After seeing Lu Siyuan off, Shen Mianmian didn't rush back but took Xiaocui for a stroll around the vegetable market to familiarize herself with the surroundings.
It was Xiaocui's first time browsing the city; aside from the crowds, there were many more vendors. She was particularly nervous, clutching Shen Mianmian's hand like a little child, terrified of getting lost.
Unknowingly, the two wandered to the stall belonging to Gu Jianbin's family. The stall still had someone selling goods, but it was now manned by a young wife in her twenties.
Shen Mianmian pretended to shop and casually struck up a conversation with the stallkeeper, "Boss, I remember the person who used to set up a stall here was an older lady, wasn't it? Why has there been a change?"
