The next day after work, Bai Xiao also took an hour off early to go to the market to buy ingredients.
She bought lamb blood, beef tripe, and the like, planning to make a spicy dish called 'Mao Xue Wang' and sweet and sour pork ribs, accompanying them with bought steamed buns. She then headed back to her dormitory early to cook.
Upon arriving at the dormitory, just as she took out her keys, she saw someone kneeling in front of the door next door.
She couldn't help but take a closer look, and, alright, she recognized her—it was Chui Lu's former mother-in-law. The elderly lady must have had someone advising her this time; she wasn't crying or making a scene, just kneeling motionlessly at the door.
