- C281 Request from the Plum Blossom Village
When Mian Niang walked out from Mister’s room, Second Uncle Tian and Old Uncle Shou were already waiting outside. Second Uncle Tian was chatting with some familiar people while Old Uncle Shou stood behind him.
Occasionally, he would ask the other party a question, but the other party would only let out a “ha ha” in response.
Mian Niang couldn’t help but think of her father.
Abba also had a personality like that, with no one talking more than he did before and after him.
However, Mama always said that you are stubborn.
However, Mian Niang felt that it was different.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been scolded as a melon by his wife.
Mian Niang walked over, and the person who was currently speaking with Second Uncle Tian recognized her: “Mian Niang.”
Mian Niang’s expression was a little unnatural, but she still replied with a smile.
“It just so happens that we met today. There’s something we have to discuss properly.”
“What is it, Uncle? Please speak.”
Mian Niang smiled and assumed a position of listening quietly, but she felt uncomfortable in her heart.
Sure enough, the other party said: “Look, this Mian Niang, our Plum Blossom Village is just around the corner, you said that you are selling tofu, and would rather walk around, than go into our village, yes, their Mei Family does things unkind, and they are wicked and smoke out loud, but when you were at Plum Blossom Village, we took care of you, right?”
The moment he said this, two more villagers from the Plum Blossom Village surrounded him. They too looked at Mian Niang with dark expressions, and followed along to echo him.
“That’s right, that’s right, the Mei Family is the Mei Family, the Mei Family does things that are immoral, but we didn’t do anything, why are you not coming to our place to sell tofu?”
Mian Niang pushed the hat on her head, and said without hurry: “Uncle, I did not say that I do not sell Plum Blossom Village’s tofu, there are still some families that are buying tofu from me.”
It’s true, they got the tofu from you, but how did they get it from you, they got it from someone else, that’s fine, you can just say it like that, someone like us will never deal with that old granny Wang from the start, who dares to trouble their family and let them take the tofu from us, to be honest, Mian Niang, let’s not talk about anything else, in the entire twenty to thirty miles, of the village, only you have the tofu makers, if you say you don’t want to sell them, who will be the tofu we eat? My family’s old woman is over sixty years old and her teeth are almost all gone. Since she couldn’t eat the food at the side, she likes to eat tofu, so she has always been thinking about it ever since she ate your family’s tofu last time. She always said that the tofu you made was even better than the one that tofu hyacinth cooked last time.
Mian Niang laughed, “From what you said, it seems that the tofu is even more delicious than chicken, duck, fish and meat.”
“How can this be fake? Think about it, this old man has been eating tofu for so many years, and now that you’ve suddenly broken down, who can take it. Furthermore, your family’s tofu is already sold to the Peach Blossom House, how can it not taste good? This was something that the tofu hyacinth did not even dare to think about back then. Forget about the tofu hyacinth, even with so many tofu sellers, it was still impossible! ”
Mian Niang knew that she had borrowed the power of Peach Blossom House to open up her signboard.
“This is my good luck, I’ve met someone great.”
She didn’t think that she was being modest. The shopkeepers from Steward Zhou, Master Zhang and Peach Blossom House were indeed her benefactors. If she hadn’t met the Steward Zhou at that time, she wouldn’t have met him like this.
They had brought up the tofu hyacinth several times, but Mian Niang never turned against them. This gave them courage.
Look, Mian Niang and the rest have already moved out of the Plum Blossom Village, so the courtyard has already been empty for half a year. Let’s discuss, you still came to the Plum Blossom Village to sell tofu, don’t feel uncomfortable, just think that the village is no different from the other villages, a family like that, a family that has never been a part of the Plum Blossom Village isn’t fine, right? We can guarantee that no one in the village will dare to say anything, really! ”
After he said that, the other two people nodded as well, “That’s right, we originally wanted to go to your house to have a nice chat with you, but now that we meet you here, we don’t need to go to your house.”
Mian Niang bit her lips and thought for a while, then said: “Uncle, let me go back and ask my mother, if she agrees, I will go and sell tofu, if she does not, I can’t do anything about it, you know, being stuck like this isn’t something that can be done just by saying it.”
Her older brother had sent her reinforcements, and her father had accidentally died. No one could say for sure, but Song Youfu’s death definitely had nothing to do with this matter.
No matter who it was, it was impossible for them to have such a tough time passing through a family with no family members. Those people looked at each other and nodded, “Alright, you think about it.”
The people of Plum Blossom Village had not eaten tofu for half a year. In a country bumpkin’s house, they did not have the money to buy vegetables, and their house was filled with cabbage, potatoes, radishes, and sour vegetables.
If he could eat tofu now, it would be considered a better life.
Leaving the academy, Mian Niang hurried the furred donkey cart in front while the Second Uncle Tian behind tried to speak, but stopped in their tracks.
It was Elder Tian who could not bear to see this. Seeing that they were about to reach the entrance of the village, he said to Second Uncle Tian: “If you have something to say, say it. If you don’t want to say it, then hold it in.”
Second Uncle Tian turned his head to look at him. “Heh, you’re talking about me.
Elder Shou turned his head away and no longer paid any attention to him. He only felt that this cousin of his was really unlikeable, so he said a few words.
Second Uncle Tian couldn’t find an opponent, and also felt that he wasn’t really a man who was hesitating and muttering. He then said to Mian Niang: “Mian Niang, in my opinion, you have to sell the tofu in Plum Blossom Village, not to mention anything else, who doesn’t want to get along with the money? Plum Blossom Village is the biggest village in our village besides Gu Village, if they don’t want to eat it, you don’t need to care.
He hesitated for a long time. Mian Niang had thought that it was something important, but it turned out to be something important. Mian Niang could not help but laugh.
“Mn, Second Uncle Tian, I will think about this matter properly.”
“Right, you think about it.”
Second Uncle Tian also knew her difficulties and reminded her of it.
Mian Niang understood his good intentions and thanked him with a smile.
Second Uncle Tian laughed out loud: “What’s wrong with that? It would be a good thing if you could take back your mountain goods and make up a basket.”
Mian Niang nodded her head and promised, “Don’t worry Second Uncle and Old Uncle, I will settle this matter as soon as possible.”
When the donkey cart arrived at the gate of their house, the two brothers got out of the carriage and went back home. On the way, the two of them were still talking, but it was always the Second Uncle Tian who spoke first, so Elder Tian just kept quiet, and was a good listener. In the end, he angrily said unwillingly: “You are just like this, from the time you were young, how could the matchmaker say such flowery words, which led to your wife agreeing?
“You are the mute.”
“Yo, so you’re not a mute. Sigh, I was saying that your mouth was painted with golden powder, right? For fear that the golden powder would fall from your mouth when you speak, that’s why you didn’t say anything?”
“Shut your bamboo mouth.”
“Yes, yes, yes. My bamboo mouth is not worth much. How valuable is your mouth? You didn’t paint it with gold powder. Are you inlaid with gold edges? I said your teeth are made of jade, right?” Didn’t people say that they have golden mouths, jade teeth, golden lips, jade teeth, or jade teeth? Is it from you? ”
Uncle Shovel was so angry that he simply left him and walked forward in large strides.
The Second Uncle Tian did not want to let him go, he chased after him and continued to nag at him.
Mian Niang entered the courtyard and Madame Song walked out as soon as she heard the sound. Ever since the New Year, whenever Mian Niang returned, Madame Song would come out.
Although it had already been a while, Mian Niang was still not used to people greeting him at her door when she returned home.
Moreover, Madame Song Li’s legs weren’t good, so it wasn’t convenient for her to go back and forth.
Mian Niang could only say helplessly: “Mother, you just need to wait inside the house, I’ll go in later.”
Madame Song seemed to be somewhat embarrassed. She tilted her head and leaned against the door frame. “Mother didn’t have any other intentions. I just wanted to ask if you’re cold.”
The main issue was that she didn’t know how to make it up to her daughter, so she wished she could do everything she could to make her daughter understand her thoughts.
Mian Niang’s hands did not stop moving, she continued to move, and spoke while unloading the carriage: “Even if you come out, I cannot immediately warm up, furthermore, I will enter the house after finishing my work, stand here, my heart will be warm.”
“It’s good to be warm.”
Madame Song Li was rather happy. Her daughter being able to say such a thing meant that she didn’t take the previous matter to heart, but she felt a bit sorry in her heart. Actually, she should remember the previous matter and have a grudge.
Mian Niang was tying the donkey, her back facing Madame Song. She couldn’t see the expression on her face, so she didn’t know what she was thinking about.
He turned around and took the cushion from the carriage to his own room. Then, he came out and led Mrs. Song and Li back to his room.
“Are you trying to take care of me? It’s not even spring yet, and you’re getting sick from the cold. Mother, if you really care for me, then take care of yourself. Don’t make me worry.”
Madame Song Li was momentarily speechless, and she only looked at Mian Niang in a daze.
When Mian Niang saw that her tears were flowing out, his heart stopped for a moment. She immediately extended her hand to help her wipe it dry.
“Mother, what’s wrong with you? Why are you crying?” “Don’t cry, this cry of yours makes me feel bad.” ”
Madame Song Li grabbed onto Mian Niang’s hands.
His daughter’s hands were not thin and tender, there were even more calluses on them than hers, and there were still some traces of frostbite on them. This was not a hand a nineteen year old female mother should have.
“Mian Niang, it was my mother who let you down, and caused you to suffer so much.”
