Madam Zhou doubted her own ears. Could it be true that her man had come back? Why would someone say such a thing all of a sudden?
Seeing the ashen look on Madam Zhou's face, Tofu Beauty's heart skipped a beat, but a smile appeared on her face as she said, "Sister Mei, don't be annoyed. Haven't I just noticed that Sister Mei seems to be getting younger these days and wondered if there might be some happy news?"
Her words were not merely flattery; they came from the heart. Madam Zhou indeed appeared much younger lately, with a rosy complexion and an especially graceful demeanor.
"What happy news could there be? In such a small village, how could any truly happy news escape people's notice?" Madam Zhou replied indifferently.
Tofu Beauty cut another piece of tofu, wrapped it carefully, and personally placed it in Madam Zhou's basket, then took her hand and said, "Sister Mei, I didn't mean to upset you, but everyone is guessing and spreading idle gossip."
