Gong Xin observed her brother’s demeanor and turned to their mother, Mrs. Chen, “Mother, my brother’s pride is all he has left. It’s pitiful, really. His once-fiancée is now another man’s wife. He’s still holding onto the braised pork she used to sell, unable to express his true feelings. I wonder who he gets his stubbornness from.”

Mrs. Chen shot her daughter a warning glance, signaling her to stop using this matter to torment her brother. This wasn’t just about hurting one person. Mrs. Chen herself was filled with regret, a feeling that resurfaced every time she thought about it. But what’s done is done, and regret was futile. It was best to leave the matter untouched.

Turning to her son, Mrs. Chen advised, “Your relationship with Gu Zi is in the past. It’s not a big deal. But I must caution you, don’t always view people through a colored lens. It will prevent you from seeing their true colors, and in the end, you’ll be the one at a loss.”

Gong Xin, chastised, pouted unhappily but heeded her mother’s words. She continued to eat her braised pork in silence. Unfortunately, the tasting portion didn’t contain much pork, and after a few bites, it was gone. She picked up the bag and checked again, confirming it was indeed empty.

A plan formed in Gong Xin’s mind. Once the radio station went on break, she would go find Gu Zi. After all, they were good friends. Surely, there would be plenty of braised pork then.

As evening fell, the town’s foot traffic gradually increased. Many passersby couldn’t resist stopping by Sister Hua’s Gourmet Shop to inquire, “Do you still have braised pork? If so, I’ll take two liang to go with my wine.”

The reason they asked was that ever since the shop was featured in the newspaper, people from different places came daily to buy braised pork. The town’s regular customers would arrive early to purchase, often resulting in the pork selling out early. Those who passed by the shop later often missed out.

Although the shop remained open, it didn’t necessarily mean there was still pork for sale, hence the habitual inquiry.

At this moment, Gu Zi had just finished her work and was sitting at the shop’s entrance with Lele, responding to the inquiries, “We’re out for today. If you want braised pork, you’ll have to come early tomorrow!”
