Lin Yuan could see that she was genuinely upset by Lady Xie and her daughter-in-law, so she stopped trying to console her and simply closed the shop door quietly to prevent outsiders from seeing her like this.
After closing the door, Lin Yuan sat quietly by her side, keeping her company and offering a handkerchief.
Xia Zheng came by and looked in through the doorway. From behind the door and window, she waved at him and then pointed to Mo Sanniang, who was still crying her heart out at the counter, indicating that he should go back first.
Xia Zheng, not willing to leave, pouted and acted coquettishly, refusing to go. Lin Yuan frowned, knowing his stubborn nature was showing again. She held her forehead speechlessly and finally mouthed a promise to make him steamed pork ribs.
To her surprise, he pouted even more pitifully and held up two fingers shaking them at her.
