Chapter 537: Jubilation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

To say that Su Bing and Su Li were not afraid of this situation would be a lie. They were terrified, fearful of being neglected once again. Thus, they were anxious, wondering how their mother would respond.

However, no matter how their mother responded, they would not blame her. After all, she had already done so much for them. Their fear was rooted in the possibility of their mother’s love diminishing.

Li Hua and Mother Lin were somewhat confused. How did the conversation shift to personal matters? Wasn’t this supposed to be a food interview? They had assumed that an interview would strictly stick to the topic at hand. They hadn’t realized that it could also involve personal stories.

Nevertheless, they were eager to hear Gu Zi’s thoughts. After all, she was still young, and Su Shen was in his prime. It would indeed be a pity if they chose not to have children.

However, Su Shen had made it clear before their marriage that he did not want children. Gu Zi had willingly agreed to this, stating that she too did not want children. Even if Mother Lin and the others wanted to voice their opinions, they refrained from doing so, fearing that it might hurt the feelings of the two older children. Now that the reporter had brought up the topic, it seemed like the perfect opportunity.

Gu Zi did not hesitate in her response. She stuck to her previous answer, stating firmly, “I don’t need to give birth to my own children. They are my children. I have never considered having children.” Her gaze was resolute, and her tone left no room for doubt.

Guan Xin believed her and found her even more intriguing. She was indeed a unique woman.

However, she didn’t stray too far from the main topic. She steered the conversation back to food, saying, “I think adding your stories will make my report more colorful. Let’s start the tasting.”

Xiao Luo quickly put down the miscellaneous items in his hands and followed her. He had been eager to taste the food since he had arrived, and now he finally had the chance.

While the adults continued with the interview, Su Bing and Su Li were filled with guilt. After hearing their mother’s response, they felt they had been selfish.

They should have been looking forward to the birth of a younger sibling. Their parents should have a child of their own. How could they fear and resist the arrival of a younger brother or sister?

Guan Xin and Xiao Luo had already tasted three dishes. Guan Xin shared her thoughts on the taste and texture, quickly grabbing the notebook that Xiao Luo had been holding to jot down her thoughts. A satisfied expression spread across her face. “You truly live up to your reputation. The fact that you’ve become popular in such a short time shows your strength!”

By this time, customers had started to come in to buy braised meat. Aunt Yang and Mother Lin were busy serving the customers. Guan Xin took a photo of them chatting and laughing, which caught the attention of the customers. They curiously looked at the two unfamiliar faces in the shop and noticed that everyone in the shop seemed to have made an extra effort to look presentable that day. Suddenly, they realized what was happening.

“Ah, you must be reporters! Wow, Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop is being interviewed by reporters! You’re famous now. Will our town also be featured in the newspaper?”

“I just noticed how beautiful everyone looks today. Sister Hua, you should have told us about the interview. This is a good thing. Why keep it so low-key?”

“Congratulations! But didn’t someone say before that the customers from the city were all hired? That’s nonsense. I waited almost a week to come and buy braised meat. I almost missed out on the delicious food. Sister Hua, please give me a pound of braised pig heart!”

The shop was suddenly filled with the sounds of congratulations. The atmosphere was even more festive than on the opening day.

After all, on the opening day, there were very few people who genuinely wanted to eat. A large portion of them were there to watch the spectacle and take advantage of the situation. Some were just observing, unsure if the food in the shop was worth their money.

But today, all the customers who entered the shop were there to buy food. They came with an appreciation for the taste of the shop’s food and genuinely congratulated Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop on the newspaper feature. Naturally, the atmosphere was even more jubilant than on the opening day.

As the interview progressed, more and more people in the town learned that Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop was going to be featured in the newspaper. They flocked to the shop, making it even more crowded.

As a result, those who had initially been jealous of the country folks opening a shop in town began to let go of their envy. After all, it was clear that the shop was thriving due to its own merit. Not everyone could run a successful business. This family was indeed cut out for business.

Among the crowd, a female customer who had never bought meat from Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop stepped forward. She shyly said to Li Hua, “Sister Hua, could I have two pounds of braised pig’s head meat? I’d like to try it too.”
