Chapter 81 - 80: Distressed
Zhang Shuhua was thrilled to see Lin Wan here today. She’s quite a chatterbox, and ever since Lin Wan went to the hotpot restaurant, Zhang Shuhua hasn’t had anyone to talk to in the mornings.
Grandma Wang and Aunt Liang are getting older and have no common topics. Tong Li can chat a bit, but most of the time, he just delivers the food cart, sells food, and after finishing, doesn’t stay in the shop for long.
Lin Wan carried two big bags of vegetables from the morning market to here, stopping five times to rest. When she used to be here, she always carried them with her mom. Now, with her mom having to carry such heavy things alone, she didn’t know how her mom could manage.
I was negligent, sigh!
"Xiao Wan, are you going to stay here from now on? Did Aunt Liang move over there?" Zhang Shuhua asked with a smile while picking vegetables, hoping Lin Wan would stay here so she wouldn’t feel lonely.
"I hadn’t thought of that, but now that you mention it, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to let my mom go over there. I’ll talk to her when I get back." Zhang Shuhua’s words made her heart light up. Yes, Mom can do the accounts now. She only buys groceries in the morning and settles the account at the front desk during the day at the hotpot restaurant. Mom wouldn’t be too tired if she went over there.
"That sounds great. With you around, I won’t be so bored."
Grandma Wang glanced at her with a smile and said, "Shuhua has a good temperament, very likable. Her in-laws will surely love a daughter-in-law like her. She’ll definitely be welcomed by her husband’s family."
"Ah..." Zhang Shuhua blushed at Grandma Wang’s words, touched her cheek, and said, "Would a family like me?"
"They definitely would," Grandma Wang replied. Lin Wan smiled as she looked at Zhang Shuhua. She had indeed lost quite a bit of weight since she first arrived. Though not as slim as she was, she still looked just pleasantly plump.
Zhang Shuhua must have a small frame, with delicate features. When gathered on a face, if you take a closer look, you’d find it very easy on the eyes. If she actually loses weight, she’d surely be quite the beauty.
