"This is a horse-drawn carriage! Has the Bai family struck it rich?"
"How could that be? How could the Bai family possibly get rich? I think they've come to collect debts."
"That's true. Bai Tian used to be addicted to gambling. With such a grand carriage and those burly men around him, I think he's here to collect debts."
The neighbors around were whispering among themselves.
But Jiang Dai, who had just stepped outside, heard these words: ...
No, folks, do you really think that raising your hand to cover your mouth means you're whispering?
[Please, could you please turn the volume down a bit?! It's giving me a headache!!]
[And another thing! Could these people really be here to collect a debt?]
Juanjuan followed her mother, and when the child saw the young man next to the carriage, she instinctively tugged at her mother's sleeve.
"Mother, that person is the one who stopped us in town."
Jiang Dai's heart stirred slightly.
Suddenly I realized that these people might not have really come here to cause trouble.
But it seems that their arrival has already brought some trouble to their family.
Juanjuan saw the waiter, and the waiter also noticed Juanjuan.
He immediately moved closer to the carriage and whispered, "Miss, you've come to the right place."
The carriage curtain was lifted, and the surrounding villagers craned their necks to see who was inside.
When they saw a little girl wearing a veil step down from the carriage.
People around started to "look" and gossip again.
Juanjuan, however, widened her eyes and let out a surprised "Eh."
Jiang Dai asked, "Juanjuan, what's wrong?"
Juanjuan tiptoed and whispered in her mother's ear, "Mother, it was that pretty lady who gave us pastries on the way."
Jiang Dai: ?
Wait, let her sort it out first.
The young man came to ask for the secret recipe, while the girl met Juanjuan on the street and gave her some pastries.
[They came together, and the man treated the young woman with such respect, so she's very likely the owner of some restaurant?]
[After traveling for so long, am I finally about to unlock a new, powerful figure?!]
Juanjuan didn't quite understand why her mother was so excited and happy.
And even now, she still doesn't understand what her parents mean by "time travel," "golden finger," and "modern times" that they often talk about.
Liang Tian'er had already walked up to them.
She glanced at Juanjuan with some surprise, but didn't show any astonishment or surprise. She still greeted Jiang Dai politely.
"Madam, I am the owner of Shiwei Restaurant in town. You can call me Miss Liang."
"I apologize for the intrusion in visiting and have prepared this small gift. I hope you will accept it with a smile."
As he spoke, he instructed the maid beside him to bring out some small gifts that had been prepared.
Jiang Dai had already guessed what the other party was here for. Seeing the crowd of onlookers outside, she stepped aside.
"Come in first."
"good."
Liang Tian'er nodded and stepped into the courtyard.
Jiang Dai smiled and closed the dilapidated wooden gate to the courtyard, blocking the view of the onlookers outside.
"Pretty sister."
Juanjuan called out softly.
Hearing the noise, Liang Tian'er's gaze fell on Juanjuan. Although she was wearing a veil, her eyes and eyebrows curved when she smiled.
"You still recognize your sister?"
Juanjuan nodded shyly: "Sister is beautiful."
So it's very easy to recognize, and since they gave us pastries, of course we can remember it.
Liang Tian'er chuckled and quietly pointed to the gift she had brought: "There's candy in there, but eat less of it, or it'll ruin your teeth."
Juanjuan nodded obediently.
"Dai Dai, this is..."
Bai Tian, who had just been washing clothes in the backyard, came out and saw three familiar guests.
One of them was a young man who stopped them on the street, claiming that the third brother had a secret recipe for seasoning.
One was the young lady from the capital who gave Juanjuan pastries when she returned.
There was also a middle-aged man, whom Bai Tian didn't recognize; he probably hadn't seen him before.
So, these people came here because...
“Madam, young master, there is no one else here, so I will get straight to the point and state my purpose.”
Although Liang Tian'er was only fifteen years old, she already exuded an aura of reliability.
"I am the owner of Shiwei Restaurant. A few days ago, we received the secret seasoning your son sold. It makes the roasted meat exceptionally delicious, but there was only an ounce left, and it's already empty."
