The Woman From Hell

"Was that woman named Millicent?" I tried asking leisurely.

"Millicent... Yard..." The old lady adjusted the reading glasses on the bridge of her nose, revealing a perplexed expression. "Perhaps. I can't remember clearly." The old lady was getting on with age, and I could not force her to try to remember, so I had to give up. "It's okay. Thank you, Madam."

At this moment, her partner came out, and the old lady hurriedly pulled him over. "Was the woman who built the primeval town 30 years ago named Millicent Yard?" The old man was stunned for a moment before he smiled. "Yes, that's the name. You're so forgetful. I remember it clearly."

"Who said I forgot about it? I was just checking with you. This young lady was asking." The old lady pointed at me.

I was overjoyed when I heard the old man's answer, and I nodded at him. "Hello, Sir."

"Hello, there. You were asking about our village?"
