Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 662: Invitation to Enter the Village

After chatting for a while, She didn’t notice anything wrong. Seeing that the two looked decent, she immediately had an idea and said, "Girl, you’ve been traveling for a while and it must be tiring. Why not come to my house for a cup of tea? Later, I’ll find someone to send you to Stone Village."

"Sister, wouldn’t it be too much trouble?" Thirteen asked somewhat embarrassedly. They were just asking for directions, so how could they impose on someone for tea?

"No trouble, no trouble." She waved her hand. Two girls came at once, and it was obvious they were from the city. This was a good catch; how could it be troublesome?

Selling off girls like this would earn much more than those from the village. Now, with two at once, she could see loads of money waving at her.

"This?" The two were still hesitant, but She stepped forward, grabbing one by each hand, saying, "Girl, meeting is fate, don’t hesitate. It’s just a cup of tea, nothing more. Besides, you’ve been walking for a while and must be tired, so take a break."

Ling Jiu and Thirteen exchanged a glance, then gratefully said to the woman, "Then thank you, Sister."

"No need to be polite, I’m called Ah Lan. You can call me Sister Lan." She smiled even more broadly and led Ling Jiu and Thirteen towards her house.

As they passed through the village, they encountered two men. Ah Lan gave them a look, which Ling Jiu and Thirteen noticed but pretended not to see.

Soon, they arrived at Ah Lan’s house, which was a small courtyard house in the middle of the village. Inside was just one man, with no children.

"Husband, we have guests." As soon as she entered the courtyard, she called towards the house. Upon hearing her, a middle-aged man stepped out, glanced at the woman, and then focused his gaze on Ling Jiu and Thirteen, saying, "Welcome, welcome."

"Girls, come inside and have a seat!" Ah Lan invited the two inside to sit, while the man went to the kitchen and brought back a kettle and two bowls.

Ah Lan smiled, took the kettle and bowls, poured each Ling Jiu and Thirteen a bowl, and said, "You must be thirsty; have some water!"

Then, she told the man, "Husband, don’t just stand there, get the fruits from home for the two girls to eat."

The man responded and went out again. Ah Lan then said to them, "Look at me, chatting away and I forgot to ask for your names."

"My name is Ah Jiu."

"I’m Ah Ru."

"We are cousins."

"You two are cousins? You don’t look like it." Ah Lan looked at them again and said with a smile.

"One takes after mom, the other after dad. It’s true we don’t resemble each other. Our classmates used to say the same thing."

"No wonder. I thought so. If one takes after mom, cousins usually have some resemblance."

Ling Jiu and Thirteen smiled and said nothing more, then picked up the cups and sipped their water. Ah Lan watched them drink, her eyes flickering.

At this moment, the man returned again, carrying a plate with some leftover New Year’s snacks, including dried sweet potatoes, sunflower seeds, and some candies.

"Ah Jiu, Ah Ru, these are some New Year’s treats we made at home, try some." Ah Lan warmly encouraged them, even picking up a piece of dried sweet potato and placing it in each of their hands.

Ling Jiu and Thirteen, reluctant to refuse, accepted and put it into their mouths. The man, seeing them eat the fruit, had a satisfied smile appear on his face.
