Rice Flower Fragrance had become the largest cake shop in several neighboring towns, bustling with people coming and going.

However, today at Rice Flower Fragrance, there really were too many people gathered at the entrance.

And all of this was because of a man.

"Ah Qi, I know I was wrong, please forgive me! Ah Qi, can you come out and see me?"

The man kneeling on the ground had clothes that were dirty and wrinkled, with two holes at the elbows and knees, frayed edges with sticking threads, faintly revealing the skin beneath the clothes.

Despite the man’s dirty face and messy hair, it had to be said that his skin was fair, showing not a trace of being weather-beaten.

If this person hadn’t said he was Loudmouth’s man, it would have been very difficult to associate him with Loudmouth, for he appeared much younger than Loudmouth!

Da Qiangzi had been kneeling at the entrance of Fragrant Full Building since early morning, and because of his presence, the business there was affected.

Loudmouth sat in front of the counter in silence, her face dark, showing no hint of what she might be thinking.

Sister-in-law Luo and the others quietly stood on one side, looking at each other, none of them daring to step forward to persuade her.

It was ultimately Aunt Chen who spoke up, "Seventh Sister, that man at the door, is he really, really the man that ran away from your home? Why don’t you go out and see him? "

"See him for what? Seventh Sister, you tell me, if you don’t want to see him, I’ll go drive him away! Haven’t you already divorced him? Him coming to look for you, isn’t that just asking for a beating?"

Before Loudmouth came to Rice Flower Fragrance, Liuzi had heard about her from Lin Yuan and already held no good feelings for that despicable man who had abandoned his family.

He couldn’t believe that the man actually had the nerve to come back.

Liuzi rolled up his sleeves, ready to rush out with Liang Zi, Da Niu, and others, who were equally poised for action, and give the man a lesson the moment Loudmouth gave the signal.

Loudmouth looked at everyone, her hands clenched into fists.

That day she had felt she had seen Da Qiangzi’s figure at the door; she had initially thought her eyes were playing tricks and saw wrongly, but who would have thought, who would have thought, this man actually came back!

Not only had he returned, but he had also come looking for her!

"I’ll see him," said Loudmouth, her voice as calm as water, as if the man outside crying and shouting had nothing to do with her.

Aunt Chen, Sister-in-law Luo, and the others exchanged glances and scrambled to follow Loudmouth out.

At the entrance, Da Qiangzi was still wailing with his eyes closed, "Ah Qi, I’m in such misery, you don’t know, the months I’ve suffered! I’m so miserable! That little wretch, she deceived me!"

"Enough! Shut up!" Loudmouth’s booming voice rang out above Da Qiangzi’s head, her voice as cold as frost, effectively silencing him instantly.

Da Qiangzi, perhaps not expecting that Loudmouth would actually show up, or feeling a bit guilty after not seeing her for a long time, looked at Loudmouth with a somewhat guilty expression, "Ah, Ah Qi? You, you’re finally willing to see me?"

Before Loudmouth could speak, the onlookers had already begun whispering among themselves, "He really is this woman’s husband? Oh my, they don’t look like a match at all. Look at that man, so delicate and soft, and look at this woman, look at her hands, so rough!"

"Could this woman have been a child bride? Raised a young husband, and then he didn’t fancy her anymore? But no, that can’t be right. If that’s so, why would he come back?"

"You folks don’t know as much as I do. This man used to have a shop by the street here, and after making some money, he got involved with a young widow in town.

This woman wouldn’t allow the young widow in the house, even went so far as to cause the widow’s child to be lost!

There! The man ran away with the young widow!

But, why has this man come back? Before, he carried on pretty impressively! "

"Tch! Impressive? Could he ever be as impressive as this woman? Haven’t you seen who this woman is? Rice Flower Fragrance is the biggest cake shop in our town! Hmph, it must be that this man saw the woman earning money and regretted it! What a scoundrel!"

"Hey, you can’t say it like that. Look how old this woman looks, no wonder she can’t hold a man’s heart! In my opinion, the man running off with someone else also has something to do with this woman."

The crowd’s murmurs reached Loudmouth’s ears, one by one, but over the years, she had long grown selective hearing. If she took to heart everything people said, she would have succumbed to depression and sought an early end long ago.
