Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

By noon, Fang Pingying had calculated the net income, which was roughly US $100—a not inconsiderable sum.

Then came good news from Uncle Zeng’s side as well. He said that on Fang Pingying’s pastries’ first day on the shelves, they sold exceptionally well. Not only did their pastries sell well, but the sales of other items at their counter also considerably increased from before.

While there wasn’t an exact figure, Zeng Weiguo gave a rough estimate of the figures after sharing profits, and it was several times more than what the shop was making.

Fang Pingying felt that her life was going to gradually get better.

By mid-afternoon, the number of customers dwindling due to the cold weather and the early onset of darkness.

Fang Pingying asked Fang Xiu and Luo Honglan to tidy up the shop and planned to close up after it got dark.

While they were cleaning, suddenly a voice called out from the entrance of the shop, "Xiao Fang."

Following the voice, Fang Pingying saw to her surprise that it was Ju Zi’s mother, Zeng Yueji, standing at the door, with a woman of a similar age by her side. However, the woman was wearing a hat and had her face covered with a mask, making it impossible for Fang Pingying to see her true appearance.

But for some reason, Fang Pingying felt that the woman looked at her with a spark of excitement, unlike someone who had never met her before.

This also reminded Fang Pingying of the strange look in Zeng Yueji’s eyes when she had seen her at Ju Zi’s house that day.

Furthermore, what made Fang Pingying somewhat uneasy was how familiar those eyes seemed to her—it was as if she had seen them somewhere before, but she couldn’t recall where.

But at that moment, Fang Pingying didn’t have time to think further. She immediately walked to the door smiling, and greeted Zeng Yueji, "Aunt Zeng, come in and sit down with this lady here, it’s cold outside."
