Cheng Su hadn't expected that her job posting would draw inquiries in less than half a day, but upon reflection, it made sense since her shop was located near the train station where foot traffic was at its densest. Moreover, there were plenty of travelers seeking work, who, if they were paying attention, would naturally spot it.
As she sized up the two people once again, Cheng Su was about to speak when the woman said, "I can do anything."
Cheng Su pursed her lips and said, "Why don't you come in and sit down first?"
The woman nodded eagerly, took her daughter's hand, and followed Cheng Su inside.
"Would you like some water?" Cheng Su, noticing their lips were somewhat chapped, casually offered.
"If it's possible, then thank you," the woman replied after swallowing.
Cheng Su glanced at the large insulated container in the dining area, poured two cups of water, and placed them in front of them.
