"She's a bit busy," Feng Ziheng explained, then paused and asked, "Did she use to come here often?"
"Fairly often, about once a month. She also has a lot of friends," the owner replied honestly, but soon, as if something had come to his mind, he smiled and said, "The first time she came here, she brought a whole bunch of people, and she was the only girl. The mother of our kids was worried she might have been deceived. Turns out, those folks treated her like a treasure, not allowing her to touch a drop of alcohol, just had her drink soft drinks."
After hearing this, Feng Ziheng's mind was stuck on "just her being the only girl," and his mood suddenly turned a bit sour.
When the skewers were almost ready, Chu Liangxia came back carrying a bag of drinks.
She handed a can to both the owner and his wife, then placed the rest on an empty table, looking like she and Feng Ziheng would be the ones to finish them off.
