    The next morning, when Madam Zhou entered the kitchen, she found that Han


    Suwen had already organized the kitchen neatly.


    Although she was skinny, she was very efficient.


    “Why don’t you take a break?”


    While preparing the fillings, Han Suwen responded, “Miss took me in not to idly loaf about, Madam Zhou. From now on, please teach me the kitchen work. Although I’m not skilled at much, I can at least cook and I can give you a hand so you won’t be so tired. I don’t want a wage, just some food and a ce to sleep.”


    Madam Zhou sized her up. The woman was thin—her height was about 1.6-1.7 meters but she looked like she weighed less than ny pounds. Despite being quite young, her face appeared to be extremely fatigued, reminding people of petals drifting in the storm, evoking pity.


    She said, “Yi Yi likes to eat shrimp dumplings, with a light vor, and adds a bit of honey and vinegar.”


    Han Suwen’s dead-gray eyes sparkled a little, “Thank you, Madam Zhou.”


    “Ms. Ming Jing prefers coarse grain porridge, steamed mushroom buns, and eggs for breakfast. You don’t have to worry about Madam Zhu’s meal, I will take care of it…”


    Han Suwen took note carefully.


    She didn’t expect that Miss Zhu’s breakfast would be so down-to-earth.


    The Zhus household was quiet in the morning. Uncle Wen was watering the nts in the garden. The sparrows chirped in the big tree not far away, adding a bit of liveliness to the ordinary morning.


    Madam Zhou saw that she was efficient and honest. Last night, she had asked Xiao Ying, it turned out that Han Suwen’s child just disappeared at birth and she had be somewhat mentally unstable. It was then she mistook Ming Yi for her own daughter and ran off with her.


    Although she was detestable, she was nheless pitiful.


    Madam Zhou was soft-hearted and all anger had faded away.


    “The miss is kind; hence, she took you in. You should be grateful and not bring her any trouble.” Madam Zhou reprimanded her.


    “Especially towards Ming Yi, although she is not Miss’s real sister, she is more intimate to Miss than any real sister. You must never harbor ulterior motives against Ming Yi again. ”


    Han Suwen went nk: “Isn’t Yi Yi Miss’s real sister?”


    Madam Zhou saw the fire in her eyes, sighed at heart, and suddenly thought of a possibility. She looked at Han Suwen carefully, thinking that Miss must have known it in her heart, so she shouldn’tplicate matters.


    Thanks to Han Suwen’s help, breakfast was smoothly made. Madam Zhou had Han Suwen set the breakfast as it was almost time.


    “Miss has a mathematicspetition in the morning and needs to leave at half past seven.”


    “Is the Miss really good at studying?”


    “Of course. The Miss alwayses first in every exam. There’s no smarter girl than her.” Madam Zhou proudly spoke, as if Ming Jing was her own granddaughter.


    Ming Jing came downstairs, followed by a little girl. The little girl was sleepy, but she was not at all wilful. She obediently followed Ming Jing, and there was a pair of twin girls behind Ming Jing, about eight or nine years old.


    The four of them sat down at the dining table, waiting for Lin Qing and Granny Zhu to join them before starting breakfast.


    There was no conversation during breakfast, just the clinking sound of cups and tes.


    Han Suwen watched from far inside the kitchen. The little girl sitting next to Ming Jing was very pretty and obedient. Her mouth was stuffed full, bulging as she chewed; she looked like a cute, little piglet.


    The little girl nced at the teenager beside her and saw her eating slowly and deliberately, so she mimicked her. However, a small child imitating an adult’s actions is moreical than urate – amusing and adorable.


    Han Suwen couldn’t help but smile.


    Then, another girl came down from upstairs. She was quite pretty. Han Suwen asked, “Is she also a youngdy of the Zhu family?” Madam Zhou pursed her lips, not knowing how to exin, “You could say


    that. ”


    Han Suwen could understand Madam Zhou’s attitude and knew what she meant. She really didn’t know the gossip about Zhu’s true and false daughters, as she was not interested in the rich families’ gossip when she was her former self.


    She noticed that the atmosphere on the dining table became even more oppressive after the girl arrived.


    After breakfast, Miss Ming Jing and the girl who appearedst left, one after the other. The others returned to their own rooms. Ming Yi apanied Granny Zhu back to her room. With her sweet voice calling “Granny” over and over again, Granny Zhu was amused and couldn’t stopughing. It made Ming Yi seem exceptionally sweet and clever.


    Only then did Madam Zhou and Han Suwene out to clean up the leftovers on the table. As Madam Zhou pushed the cart back to the kitchen, she bumped into Ming Yi, who had just run out of Granny Zhu’s room. The little girl, upon seeing her, instinctively retreated a step but then thinking of something, came up to Han Suwen, looked up at her and gently said, “Auntie, don’t be sad. My second sister will surely help you find your daughter..”
