As Gu Zi spoke, Li Hua brought up the samples for tasting. They were served on a tray, arranged casually yet not chaotically, and quite pleasing to the eye. Gu Zi cast an approving glance at Li Hua, appreciating her aesthetic sense. Li Hua felt a surge of happiness, her voice naturally rising a few notches in excitement.

She took over from Gu Zi, introducing the dishes, “Start with the peanut curd, then move on to the stronger flavors. This way, you can appreciate the layers of taste. These dishes here are our signature dishes during our afternoon braised food sales. This is braised pig’s trotter, this is braised pork head meat, braised pig’s heart, braised pig’s liver…”

Guan Xin’s gaze remained fixed on the dishes. She picked up her camera, adjusted the focus, and clicked the shutter. Like film was of no cost, she took five consecutive shots of the delicious food. Then she turned around, ran her hand over the countertop, finding it spotless and hygienic. She took a few more shots of the environment.

While she was busy photographing, her mind was not idle. She listened to Gu Zi and Li Hua’s introduction, then turned her attention to the two middle-aged women in the kitchen. Unlike Gu Zi and the others, these two were not as composed. It was clear they were not used to such attention, their hands nervously clutching the hem of their clothes.

Gu Zi introduced them, “This is my mother, and this is her good friend. They are both part of the shop now. You can interview them too. As for these three, they are my children.” Gu Zi took Su Le from Su Li’s arms and introduced them to the reporter.

Upon hearing this, Guan Xin snapped out of her photography trance, looking surprised, “You don’t look old at all, you must be younger than me.”

Guan Xin had been a reporter for two years and had interviewed all sorts of people. Estimating someone’s age was a simple task for her, so she spoke with confidence.

Xiao Luo, who had been taking notes, presumably for the interview, also looked surprised. He paused, reflecting on the fact that such a beautiful woman would choose to marry into the countryside. Her husband must be an exceptional man.

He said to Su Bing, “I’m sorry, I thought Miss Gu Zi was your sister.”

Before Su Bing could respond, Su Li interjected, “No, she’s our mother. Even though my siblings and I are not her biological children, she is still our mother, and nothing can change that!” There was a sense of pride in Su Li’s voice.

Upon hearing this, Guan Xin and Xiao Luo seemed even more surprised. The beautiful woman in front of them couldn’t be more than eighteen years old. This meant she had married a divorced man with children, making her a stepmother! How could such an outstanding woman willingly become a stepmother? This was beyond Guan Xin’s expectations.

Su Bing shot Su Li a cold glance, and he closed his mouth, realizing he might have said too much.

His older brother had once said that their mother was still very young and didn’t look like she could be their mother. Introducing her as such to strangers might make her feel uncomfortable. Su Li suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

Gu Zi, noticing this, smiled at the two boys. Then, facing Guan Xin and Xiao Luo, she spoke confidently, “I think it’s not off-topic to share this. Miss Guan, you’re here to interview our shop’s food, but perhaps you’d also like to know our story. My marriage to my husband was unexpected, but I don’t regret meeting him or marrying him.

“My husband was previously married, but the divorce was not his fault. At least, I believe he is a wonderful husband. He is tall, handsome, charming, considerate, and gentle. In short, I want to describe him with all the best adjectives.

“As for our children, they are actually the children of my husband’s late sister. But he adopted them under his own name because he wanted to take better care of them. I think that’s wonderful…”

It took Guan Xin a while to process all this. Then, she asked sharply, “You’re still so young, haven’t you considered having your own children? Can you really treat them as your own?” This story could indeed make the shop more interesting, so she was quite intrigued.

Upon hearing this question, Gu Zi’s expression didn’t change, but Su Bing and Su Li simultaneously turned their gaze to her. Their mother was still so young, she would eventually have her own children. Would she still love them as much then?
