Chapter 377: 101: Secret_5

A bucket of 10kg paint costs ten thousand yuan!

Even the painters joked that baby formula wasn’t this expensive.

And the furniture was all the most expensive kind.

So, there was really no need to worry about any threats to life or health.

After checking the renovation progress of the shop, the two exchanged a few pleasantries with Zhao Shengli before preparing to leave.

It was still early.

Zhao Cuinong suggested taking a walk nearby to familiarize themselves with the environment around the shop.

"Big sister, since Xiao Wu isn’t coming back for dinner tonight, we might as well find a restaurant to eat at after we’re tired from walking."

Lin Guixiang nodded in agreement, then seemed to remember something, "What about Jelly?"

"No worries, my mom is at home!" Zhao Cui Nong said.

"Okay then."

The two strolled and shopped, and as it got later, they found a farmhouse-style restaurant to sit down in.

Although it was already dark, it was still very hot.

Upon entering the restaurant, Lin Guixiang took off her coat.

She was wearing a T-shirt that revealed her arms, which she had kept covered outside for fear of mosquito bites.

As they sat down, a white-haired elderly person came over with menus.

The old person seemed to be in their seventies or eighties, kind and affable.

"What would you two beauties like to eat? Our restaurant serves the most authentic local farmhouse dishes."

Zhao Cuinong took the menu and ordered three dishes.

Then she passed it to Lin Guixiang, "Big sister, you order a few more dishes. If we can’t finish them, we can pack the leftovers for Jelly."

Lin Guixiang took the menu in hand.

The elderly person watched Lin Guixiang with a smile, beginning to recommend specialty dishes, "Our stir-fried Ma Lan heads are quite good, you should try them."

Lin Guixiang turned the page of the menu, "Then we’ll also have the stir-fried Ma Lan heads and some spicy crawfish."

As Lin Guixiang flipped through the menu, the old lady’s eyes fell on Lin Guixiang’s arm.

Lin Guixiang’s skin was very white.

At first glance, her arms looked smooth as jade, but upon close inspection, one could see tiny scars hidden under the skin.

If one observed even more carefully, they would notice that the skin around the scars was noticeably darker.

This...

Didn’t this look like the mark left by professional scar removal creams?

Seeing this, the elderly person’s expression changed, and their gaze shifted to Lin Guixiang’s face. Suddenly, they turned pale.

Could this be...

The child from back then?

No!

Impossible!

That child had died long ago.

And it was a death without a complete body!

The elderly person tried to calm down, taking a deep breath, and made an effort to act as if nothing had happened, smiling, "I sense from your accents that you are not locals, right?"

Zhao Cuinong nodded, "We’re from Lin City."

Lin City?

The elderly person squinted their eyes, then said, "I have a niece who married over there. Everything’s nice there, just that it’s really far from Qing City, thousands of kilometers away."

"It is thousands of kilometers away," Zhao Cuinong said.

The elderly person looked at Lin Guixiang again, their gaze inquisitive, smiling, "I think this younger sister here doesn’t quite look like a native of Lin City."

Hearing this, Zhao Cuinong looked up at the elderly person, "Auntie, where do you think my big sister looks like she’s from?"

The old lady beamed with a kind smile, "Compared to your sister here, I think you look more like someone from Lin City."

Zhao Cuinong was taken aback.

She hadn’t expected the old lady to have such keen insight, even noticing this.

But Zhao Cuinong didn’t show it and simply said, "Then you have really mistaken, my big sister and I are both from Lin City."

Hearing this,

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief.

Maybe, it was really just her overthinking!

Lin City was over six thousand kilometers away from Capital City...

"When you get old, your eyesight isn’t as good as it used to be," the elderly person’s expression remained normal, and after double-checking the order with them, they said, "If there’s no problem with the menu, I’ll take it to the kitchen."

"Sure," Zhao Cuinong nodded.

The elderly person took the menu and turned to leave.

Watching the elderly person’s retreating figure, Zhao Cuinong said with a smile, "I didn’t expect that auntie to be quite something."

There was no particular expression on Lin Guixiang’s face as she took a sip of water, "She said her niece is from Lin City, so she must have been there before."

Actually, it’s quite easy to distinguish between people from Lin City and outsiders.

Lin City is a southern city.

The people tend to be small-boned and the girls are all quite slender, not very tall.

But she was over one meter seventy, and had been rather tall among the girls in her village from a young age.

Upon closer inspection, there are actually some differences in facial features as well.

The girls from Lin City tend to have more serene features.

But Lin Guixiang did not.

In the past, Lin Guixiang just thought she was slightly taller than other girls her age, with a chin that was pointier than those of Lin City girls.
