"It's okay, don't be afraid." Sheng Ning gave her a comforting smile and packed the basket onto the cart, following Liu Cuixia.
Mayor Liu's house was right next to the township government. On the way, Liu Cuixia kept bad-mouthing Sheng Ning, trying to drive her away, but Sheng Ning insisted on going in.
As soon as they entered, they were greeted by the stern-faced mayor. He was a man in his fifties who, not having to engage in farm work, looked much younger than the average rural person.
Initially, the mayor was taken aback when he saw the two of them. After he came to, he politely said, "So Ningning and An'an are here. Please sit down; stay for lunch."
Liu Cuixia widened her eyes at this and retorted, "We don't have that much food."
"Shut your mouth and go make food." The mayor's face turned serious, scaring Liu Cuixia, who gave Sheng An a resentful glance before turning to go to the kitchen.
