- C283 These words were even weaker than the kidney …
Last night, someone sent a message to him that his wife’s grandma was in bad health. His daughter-in-law had been intimate with his grandma since childhood, and upon hearing the news, they were going back to their parents’ home that night. Her mother was a long way away, over twenty miles away, and the snow on the road had not melted yet.
He cried until tears streamed down his cheeks, his entire family felt uncomfortable in their hearts. They woke up so early in the morning, and didn’t even have time to eat a mouthful of food.
He had even told him to persuade his wife, but the foolish man was clumsy and would not advise anyone. After persuading him, the weeping that had been stopped by his wife once again erupted, leaving the foolish man at a loss. He could only wave his whip and quickly drive the carriage away.
He never thought that he would meet up with Mian Niang just like that.
The person in the carriage was the sad New daughter-in-law. The person walking over to him was the woman who had just expressed her feelings before getting married. Although she was rejected, the silly guy turned around and looked at his wife, who he did not know anything about, and felt a sense of guilt.
He didn’t know how to face Mian Niang either.
The first to calm down was actually Mian Niang. Seeing the crying girl on the carriage, how could she still remember the stupid thing that happened to her? She immediately asked: “What happened to Lan Xiang?”
Thankfully, the two of them had only met once. Mian Niang still remembered this name, otherwise, she would have felt really awkward.
The idiot was slightly startled. It was the person in the carriage who saw Mian Niang and said in a sobbing tone, “Sister-in-law, I sent a message last night saying that my grandmother’s health is not good.”
Mian Niang did not bother to correct her salutation. Looking at her swollen eyes, she felt pity in his heart and immediately comforted: “But you can’t cry like that. You’re crying until your body breaks down. Didn’t you make your grandmother’s heart ache? Whether it’s good or bad, you’ll have to go home to see it, right? ”
The idiot looked helpless. From last night until this morning, his family had said this a few times, but it was no use. They were still crying.
Sure enough, after Lan Xiang heard what Mian Niang said, she did not stop crying.
“But they said that my grandma isn’t doing well. They don’t even know if she’ll be able to make it through this match.”
Mian Niang blinked his eyes and said: “Then even if you cry like this, you still won’t be able to solve any problems. If you want me to say that, then you might as well sincerely pray to the gods to bless your grandmother’s life. Maybe that will be even more useful.”
It was freezing cold, and a typhoid fever was no small matter.
Hearing this, Lan Xiang’s eyes lit up as if she had grabbed hold of a lifesaving straw. “Sister-in-law, is begging for help?”
Mian Niang cleared his throat, and inwardly consoled herself that there was nothing she could do about it. She couldn’t just let her cry all the way back.
“As long as you are sincere, it will definitely be useful.”
Lan Xiang was both anxious and helpless, which was why she kept crying. Now that she caught hold of this life-saving straw, she immediately wiped her tears away, put her hands together, and muttered an incantation.
Seeing that his wife had shed tears, the idiot felt grateful in his heart. He wanted to open his mouth to thank her, but Mian Niang waved his hand to tell him to hurry up and leave.
Mistress Cloud was already standing in front of the door with a basin in her hands, waiting to pick up the tofu.
The idiot looked at Mian Niang’s retreating figure, he wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he turned around and continued to drive the horse carriage forward.
Mian Niang’s donkey cart stopped in front of Mistress Yun and glanced over from the corner of her eyes. Even though the Queen Gouzi was feeding the pigs, her ears were already perked up.
Mistress Cloud followed her gaze and turned her head, the corners of her lips curled downwards. “She’s just like that. Let’s ignore her.”
Upon hearing this, the woman rolled her eyes at Mistress Cloud and went back to her room with the pig food bucket in hand.
Mistress Cloud rolled her eyes as she heard Mistress Cloud’s footsteps.
Mian Niang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and couldn’t help but feel a little worried. This was because the problem of a daughter-in-law would also affect the relationship between Yanzi and Mistress Yun.
Mistress Cloud did not seem to care at all. “Don’t worry, she’s just a pushover. At most, she would mutter behind her back, but she wouldn’t dare to really take it out on me.”
“But it’s not the same as always, no?”
“Grandmother’s daughter-in-law, she’s always so unwilling to get along with me like I’m her real mother. I’ve never seen her treat me like her real daughter.” “How can you live with your tongue not touching your cheeks? It’s better to be noisy than to keep everything to one’s heart and secretly cause trouble like this.”
Mian Niang felt that Mistress Yun had something to say.
Mistress Cloud turned her head to look and saw that her mother-in-law had come out to feed the chickens.
Mian Niang smiled and called out to the Aunt Wang, greeting him.
She still managed to smile: “Ah, it’s Mian Niang. I was wondering who it was, it’s not a good look, I didn’t even see it clearly just now.”
As she said that, she put down the chicken food and walked over, rubbing her apron with her hands. “I heard that voice and knew it was familiar. I didn’t expect it to be you.”
Mistress Cloud muttered to herself, “Her words are even weaker than her kidney.”
Mian Niang smiled as she took the aluminum basin from Mistress Yun and placed ten pieces of tofu inside.
Mistress Cloud kept stopping her, “Just pick up five pieces, enough is enough. Why do you need so much?” Besides, I don’t have that many beans. ”
Mian Niang cast a glance at her: “Telling me this, if you want to eat, these few pieces are not enough.”
As she spoke, she passed the pot to her aunt, “Auntie, take it.”
She looked at Mian Niang with suspicion and asked: “You’re not going to directly pin this on me, right?”
Last year’s incident at the well had left her with a shadow. Her skirt was half wet, and the ice-cold water had splashed on her body in front of so many people. She had lost all face.
If today’s tofu was taken off the table, Gouzi Niang would look around. Several nearby families were coming over to buy tofu. This would be even more embarrassing than that, especially in front of her daughter-in-law.
Mian Niang smiled and shook her head, “I won’t, I definitely won’t do it this time. Forget about anything else, just because of Mistress Yun and the enemy, I wouldn’t be able to do such a thing. “Oh right, do you want to eat tofu brains? If you want to eat, then go get a basin.”
“It was precisely because of her that you were able to do anything.”
Her voice was not loud, so Mian Niang was unable to hear her clearly, “Ah?” With a laugh, Mistress Cloud replied, “She thought you wanted to help me seek justice.”
Mian Niang nodded solemnly: “If you really get bullied, I will definitely help you seek justice.”
“Fine, I like hearing those words. Remember these words. No matter who the other party is, as long as they dare to bully me, you must not watch.”
“These words are for you to say, since when have I seen your liveliness?”
“Oh, right. What did I just say?”
“How would I know what you’re going to say?” Mian Niang smiled and greeted the people who were walking over, and calmly asked them how much they picked up.
Mistress Cloud was still complaining, “It’s all my mother-in-law’s fault. Just now, I made a big fuss out of it and threw everything I wanted to say back at her.”
The person who picked up the tofu was a little hesitant: “Mian Niang, are you selling our tofu for more than the other villages?”
As he spoke, he glanced at the door of the Mei Family.
As though they had heard what everyone was thinking, several pairs of eyes turned to look at them.
Mian Niang found it funny. “Look at what you’re saying, how can I sell a tofu similar to mine for two different prices?
The banner reading “Little Song Tofu” flapped in the wind, and everyone relaxed, they immediately lined up to pick up the tofu. Mother Yun naturally helped, she was not as quick on the score as Mian Niang, she simply took the wooden shovel and picked up the tofu for everyone, Mian Niang was responsible for collecting the money.
The movements of the two were nimble, very quickly, but the number of people who could not wait to pick up the tofu became more and more, before Mian Niang could even walk around the village once, the two plates of tofu were sold out.
Mian Niang placed the empty tofu plate on the ground and then opened up the third plate of tofu.
Out of the two buckets he had brought out, one of them had already run out.
This dish cost one gold coin a big bowl, and was prepared with some scallion sauce. It was just a dish in the morning, and everyone in the family liked to drink it.
Even if they didn’t mix anything, it would still taste good when used as fried sauce.
Everyone looked at the six tofu plate on her carriage and felt reassured. They were not afraid that if they did not get their turn, the tofu would be gone.
Some trustworthy people could not help but ask, “Mian Niang, did you make all these tofu by yourself?”
Mian Niang’s eyes looked around, her mind spun, her hands kept moving, and she laughed: “No, even my mother and brother can help out.”
“How much can I help you? A child, everyone knows the situation in Your Mother. I’m afraid the chickens will wake up before they can cook so much tofu.”
“So many, and not just these.” Mistress Yun interrupted and said, “Peach Blossom House orders three plates every day, Tian Jia Wan also needs about one plate. Mian Niang has to make eight or nine plates of tofu every day. Where do you think you are going? Even Mian Niang himself would need an hour to pick all the water in the three big vats in her house. ”
When Mistress Yun said this, she was very proud and arrogant, as if Mian Niang had not made her tofu, but nectar.
Mian Niang felt it was funny, but she also felt embarrassed. That look in her eyes warned her not to boast for him.
“I’m no longer carrying water anymore. I’m in a hurry with the Fur donkey cart.”
He went to the city the day before yesterday and bought three buckets from Tian Rusi.
At home, there were seven or eight buckets of water. It would be enough for the donkey cart to pull them on four or five times.
Mother had even praised her for being smart. Only she felt embarrassed and her brain was spinning a little slower. Actually, she should have thought of this idea a long time ago.
On the other hand, the other people did not see it that way, and an old lady who was picking up tofu could not help but sigh, “How tiring is that, even a young lad would not be able to endure that, much less a young female mother who is not even twenty years old yet. It’s so heartbreaking. ”
The old lady seemed to be heartbroken. She caressed Mian Niang’s shoulder, her eyes filled with pity.
Mian Niang helplessly called her grandmother.
She wasn’t used to being close to someone she didn’t know, but she couldn’t let the old lady have her way either.
Right at this time, an untimely voice sounded out: “It’s all because of that Mei family’s unlucky thing, that caused Mian Niang to suffer so much, if it wasn’t for her family, Mian Niang would not have been so tired.”
