Gu Zi sensed his intention and responded loudly. It was great to have a cautious Su Li, rather than someone involved in shady dealings. She vowed to put in effort to care for them, hoping they wouldn't tread the same paths as written in the novel.

Su Bing also called out "Mom," but not as dramatically as Su Li. People around were still expecting to see what they would be selling. Su Bing assisted Gu Zi in setting up the stall, placing the exquisite delicacies on display.
