Chapter 176: The Story of the Fish Baker (1/2)

Behind Lin Qiaofu, a slender woman was dozing off with her arm as a pillow. Hearing the words "roast fish," she trembled violently and awoke from her slumber with a start.

However, her face didn't show anticipation or longing. Rather, it was filled with fear, as if she had encountered a ghost while walking at night. With hands and feet flailing, she began to crawl backward.

It wasn't until she realized that there were no charred objects in sight that she let out a sigh of relief. Sitting up straight, she wiped off the nonexistent cold sweat and said to Lin Qiaofu earnestly,

"Qiaofu, let's not make roast fish."

"Crucian carp tofu soup is much better, right? You should also have some nourishment..."

Her gaze landed on the young girl's thin and flat body, paused for a moment, and then with slightly more emphasis and a sigh, she added,

"Indeed, you do need some nourishment."
