A Demolition Windfall Heir's Everyday Gossip [Period]

After her parents divorced, Guo Huixian spent seventeen miserable years living with her father.

She was worked like a pack animal in the Guo household, serving her stepmother and stepbrother, and was also being forced to marry an old bachelor so her bride price could buy her younger brother a diploma.

Then one day, her mother came from hundreds of miles away to take her home and made a scene in front of the police and all the neighbors...

Cheng Yuxiu: You Guo, you're still the same rotten person! You used to do filthy things, and you're still shameless!

Police officer: Comrade, let's talk this out calmly. Please watch your language.

Cheng Yuxiu: But it's true! He got someone to stab him in the butthole before, didn't he? What else would you call that?

Guo Huixian: Stab... what?

The neighbors: Oh...?

All her life, Guo Huixian's father had told her: Your mother is from the village. Her whole family is dirt poor. If I hadn't taken you away, you wouldn't even have had enough to eat.

But when she returned to Yushi, she discovered that the village had been demolished and her mother, Cheng Yuxiu, had received more than ten apartments and several million yuan in savings. She was a bona fide demolition heiress!

Ever since becoming a demolition heiress, Guo Huixian had spent every day worrying about how to use up all the pocket money her mother gave her. She also wondered why Cheng Yuxiu couldn't spend more time with her and make up for all the maternal love she'd missed...

Cheng Yuxiu: Maybe tomorrow. We'll go shopping tomorrow. Your Second Uncle Guo's illegitimate son has turned into an illegitimate daughter, so I need to see what's going on.

Cheng Yuxiu: How about dinner on Sunday? I heard Auntie Liu's going to be a mom again. She's been divorced for three months, and the kid's already six months along. I need to go to the banquet.

Cheng Yuxiu: Tonight... Mm, tonight won't work. I promised to go catch some cheaters at the bathhouse with Auntie Sun. I need to get ready first.

Finally, Guo Huixian couldn't take it anymore. She stopped Cheng Yuxiu as she was heading out. “Mom! You... you... take me with you too!”

Guo Huixian had always thought being a demolition heiress meant simply living in luxury and eating well.

Then she found out that, besides all the good food, there was an endless supply of gossip.

Oh, and later she changed her name to match her mother's surname, becoming Cheng Tianshuang,

because life spent lying flat and enjoying the gossip was truly a delight every single day!

Blurb:

On the night she won the gold medal in the national banquet competition, Shen Yao was in a car accident.

The good news: She didn't die. She transmigrated.

The bad news: She transmigrated to 1996 and became an undocumented immigrant across the ocean.

In the 1990s, New York was rapidly attracting capital from around the world.

Living in the global financial center, Shen Yao didn't rush to join the financial boom.

Unable to stomach bland Western food, she decided to return to her old trade. She picked up her iron wok and ladle and would carve out a place of her own with delicious food!

Braised pork, sweet-and-sour eggplant dragon, mapo tofu, glutinous rice lotus root with osmanthus...

It was time to let them taste the finest fare from the East.

A new Chinese restaurant had opened in Manhattan. The place was tiny and rundown, and the chef served customers “garbage” every day:

Unwanted chicken feet, filthy pig intestines, and tofu soaked in black water.

One day, after receiving a report, the police arrived to shut the place down. But when they pulled up, they saw wealthy ladies from the Upper East Side squeezed onto a row of little stools outside, waiting in line, each clutching a string of sweet-and-sour candied hawthorns...
