Chapter 252: How Could She Be Here?
Jiang Hong had become closest with Sister-in-law Song during her time here, and chuckled upon hearing her, "Why did Mrs. Qin come to Mr. Bai to gossip about you?"
"You don’t know about Mrs. Qin’s cooking skills, truly on par with the State-Owned Restaurant. Last time she came over and gave me some pointers on cooking two dishes. She just stood there and moved her lips, and the dishes I made—I couldn’t believe I cooked them myself! Since then, she’s often nagged me, telling me to learn from Mrs. Qin. Normally, Mrs. Qin isn’t around here, so where am I supposed to learn from? Yesterday Mrs. Qin came over, and my husband got all excited, nagging me until my ears almost developed calluses."
Jiang Hong was also surprised to see Lin Chuxia looking clean and tidy, like a wealthy young lady, not like someone who could cook and with unexpectedly good skills.
"I know, right. They say comparisons can kill and products can be thrown away. Someone looks great and also has great skills. But she’s here to visit relatives, so I don’t have the heart to keep her busy learning cooking skills. I’ll just buy a few meat buns on the way home to satisfy their cravings, so they won’t keep thinking about others’ skills."
As they were talking, Sister-in-law Feng dragged Feng Jingjing along and squeezed in, pointing at the doorway in surprise, "Isn’t that Mrs. Qin? What is she doing here?"
Sister-in-law Song and Jiang Hong were distracted by the firecrackers and the shop’s entrance advertisements and hadn’t noticed her, but then they realized it indeed was Lin Chuxia.
"Mrs. Qin seems quite familiar with those two men. She rarely comes here, right? How would she know people from around here? I’ve never heard that Mr. Qin has any relatives in this area," Sister-in-law Feng commented in one breath and then tugged at Sister-in-law Song next to her, "You and Mrs. Qin are familiar, do you know them?"
Although Sister-in-law Song and the others didn’t know either, they didn’t have the same curiosity as Sister-in-law Feng.
"Whether she has relatives or not, nobody would go around announcing it."
Sister-in-law Feng pouted and looked towards Lin Chuxia again.
