Chapter 534: The People From The News Agency Are Here
However, there was a distinct difference between them. Su Li appeared more lively, while Su Bing maintained his usual composure, which seemed to surpass that of his peers.
After Gu Zi finished grooming Su Bing, she called her mother over. She first applied a subtle, elegant makeup on Mother Lin, then styled her hair into a simple updo. With a red ribbon, she crafted a large red flower and tied it to the updo. Her nimble hands left Li Hua, who was watching from the side, filled with envy. Her sister-in-law seemed to be a fairy, capable of doing anything.
Li Hua was also eager to see how her mother-in-law would look after the makeover. She remembered how stunning she looked the last time Gu Zi did her makeup for her wedding. She had merely drawn her eyebrows, and it had left Li Hua in awe.
Ignoring her unfinished makeup, Li Hua rushed over to see the transformation. She placed her hands on Mother Lin’s shoulders, expressing her surprise, “Mother, you look so beautiful, just like a noblewoman from a TV show!”
“Sister-in-law, before I married Lin Cheng, my mother always told me that Lin Cheng’s mother was a great beauty in her youth. I see now that my mother’s words were not entirely accurate. Lin Cheng’s mother is still a great beauty! Just a little bit of dressing up, and she’s absolutely stunning.”
Gu Zi nodded in agreement, bending down to take a closer look at Mother Lin. She had to admit, it was no wonder the original owner of her body was so beautiful; it was all inherited.
Mother Lin, however, felt a bit embarrassed by their praises. She softly scolded the two sisters-in-law, “You two, stop teasing me. It’s your skillful hands that can make anyone look good, don’t give me all the credit.”
Gu Zi then invited Aunt Yang to sit down for her makeover, laughing, “Mother, don’t be shy. You are indeed very beautiful. I believe Aunt Yang is also a beauty. Wait until I finish her makeover, then you’ll see I’m right.”
Aunt Yang, realizing she was the next target for their teasing, quickly declined, “Oh my, you two, stop talking about us old folks like that. We’re not young anymore, and your words are making us blush.”
Gu Zi, her smile as radiant as a blooming flower, replied, “Alright, alright, enough talking. Just watch my skills. Sister-in-law, you should also finish your makeup. I’ve already done several people’s.”
Li Hua nodded repeatedly, returning to her makeup table. Mother Lin, seeing that there was nothing else for her to do upstairs, decided to go downstairs to avoid further teasing.
While they were busy with their makeovers upstairs, customers had already started to arrive downstairs to buy braised meat. Mother Lin was familiar with these customers and could even call them by their names, “Oh, it’s Sister Liu. You’re here quite early today. What would you like? Today we have a special offer on pork heart. Would you like to try some?”
Sister Liu, looking at the woman she saw every day, had a glint of envy in her eyes. She sweetly replied, “Is this Li Hua’s mother-in-law? If I didn’t know, I would have thought that the boss lady, Li Hua, had a sister. You look really beautiful today. Coincidentally, I came to buy pork heart today. Please weigh a pound for me.”
Mother Lin blushed, quickly weighing the meat for Sister Liu, laughing, “Stop teasing me. We’ll still see each other in the future. Besides, if I get too embarrassed to sell meat, you won’t have anything to eat.”
While weighing the meat, Mother Lin chatted with the customers who came to buy braised meat. Su Li, who was helping, was very curious. After a few customers left, he asked Mother Lin, “Grandma, how do you know their names? And how do they know that Aunt Li is your daughter-in-law?”
Mother Lin, cleaning the table where the braised meat was placed, replied, “We’re going to be selling braised meat and breakfast here from now on. How could we not know these things? Like just now, we always have to chat a bit. Over time, we get to know a lot of people.”
Su Li seemed to understand. Doing business not only made money but also allowed them to meet so many people. That was great! He ran to tell Su Bing, “Brother, I think I know what I want to do when I grow up. I want to do business!”
Su Bing wasn’t particularly interested in his brother’s ever-changing future plans. At that moment, a large black car stopped outside their shop. It was bigger than the usual cars they saw. Su Bing didn’t know what kind of car it was, but he guessed that it must be the car from the newspaper. The people from the newspaper had arrived!
Following Su Bing’s gaze, Su Li also saw the car. His heart skipped a beat, and he opened his mouth wide in awe, “Wow! This car is so cool!”
He felt it was even cooler than their father’s sedan because it was bigger and seemed more powerful.
He turned and ran inside, shouting like a human megaphone, “Mom, Aunt, the people from the newspaper are here!”
