After Shi Ling and her daughter had eaten their noodles, Cheng Su found them a small hotel nearby to stay in. She instructed Shi Ling to come to the restaurant the next day, then she left.
It was past five o'clock, and the dinner rush had started. It hadn't yet reached the peak time when the restaurant would be the busiest, but things were already relatively hectic.
Cheng Su sat behind the cash register, deftly selling tickets and collecting money. Everything was in perfect order.
"Come on in, what would you like to eat? Just tell the waitress what you want. You can order everything on the menu, it's all good. This is our family's restaurant..."
A voice drew Cheng Su's attention, and she looked up to meet a pair of eyes staring straight at her.
It was her brother-in-law, Zhang Jisheng.
Zhang Jisheng had only gotten halfway through his words when he saw Cheng Su, and abruptly changed his sentence to, "It's our younger brother's wife's restaurant."
