Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

The kitchen in the small restaurant was charred from burning. Fortunately, no one was injured. After the incident, Lady Qi suffered from the trauma caused by the Yan family and immediately developed a high fever. Lin Dan had not only needed to find a doctor for her, she also had to make a report at the Yamen and did not manage to get a bit of shut-eye the entire night.

But the person who set the fire had long escaped. As Lin Dan was merely a powerless ordinary citizen, the Yamen would naturally not pay too much attention to her case.

After scurrying all night, Lin Dan was exhausted. In order to calm Lady Qi down, she did not dare to live in that fork alley anymore. Before dawn, they left by the city gate and moved to a suburban house. She was not afraid of the Yan family, but she had to consider the feelings of her mother and the others.

The next day, the people of the South District were dumbfounded to discover that their hometown kitchen was closed down. Just the day before, when the Yan family came to create trouble for them, the shop was doing extremely well. But when things happened, everyone took advantage of the chaos and ran away with the restaurant's food. They talked unscrupulously about Manager Lin's personal affairs and speculated her character in the most damaging way, without a care of whether she would be angry. They clearly knew that Manager Lin would not offend the diners as she needed to earn the money to support her family.

But nobody expected that she would actually close the restaurant down. Manager Lin did not want to make any more money and closed the business nonchalantly. These migrants of the South District started to wonder where else can they enjoy a good meal. Now that they were used to the authentic hometown food, nobody wanted to go back to the life of having bland food.

"Manager Lin, are you here? It's time to get up and open the shop!" Someone who did not know what happened slapped the shop door vigorously to no avail, suddenly getting a little anxious. He was a worker who did the most tedious and tiring work. It had become a habit to get up early in the morning to have a bowl of noodles cooked by Manager Lin before getting some takeaway braised pork to enjoy at night. He had looked forward to having the bowl of noodles and meat every morning, which had also given him the greatest comfort. Now that the noodles and the braised meat are gone, he started to panic and wondered what would happen if he was unable to enjoy Manager Lin's cooking anymore.

The more he thought, the more flustered he became, and he started slapping the door harder.

Those who gathered in the alley to watch what happened and even took the food away also carried an anxious look at this moment. From now on, they could only enjoy the most authentic hometown food in their dreams and not in reality anymore. It was not merely food, it had a huge impact on people's mental and physical health.

"What's going on?" Tang Jiu squeezed through the crowd and asked with a frown. Just like everyone else, he would visit the shop rain or shine, or he would not be energetic all day.

Qin Er'niang stood in the corner and said sarcastically with her hand on her waist: "Stop knocking, there is no one inside. Someone came to create trouble for Manager Lin last afternoon and even destroyed the shop. These people took advantage of the chaos and robbed her of the food. At night, another thug came to set the fire and burned the kitchen. Manager Lin dare not live here anymore and moved away overnight. I am afraid she will not come back here to set up a business anymore in the future. She approached me last night and sold the shop to me for ten taels of silver. Just keep wreaking havoc, all of you! It'll be wonderful to make her so frustrated that she leaves the capital so that I will never get to eat the local dishes made by Manager Lin anymore, isn't it? What the hell can I eat now? Manager Lin usually treats all of you well, have you all forgotten it? Look around in this South District, who is as willing to give you some soup for free as her? Who gave you some pickles for free? Who is the one who added braised pork into the vegetarian braised gravy so that you can enjoy some meat? It's fine if you don't appreciate her kindness, but you're scums for robbing her in the midst of chaos!"
