The Cute Peasant Wife: Mian Niang - C285 Call Big Sister to Listen
“Misunderstanding what?”
“Misunderstood what you said, if Jiang Ting knew about this, it would be so embarrassing.”
When Mian Niang thought of that person, she felt that the piece of jade hanging on her chest was extremely hot.
Since he did not want to bother with Mistress Yun on this issue, he decided to simply chase after the furry donkey cart.
There were still people ahead waiting to pick up the tofu.
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone, and I won’t ponder about it in the future. I’ll go help you, we just talked about it with the plug.”
It was impossible for her to not know. As long as she saw Mian Niang carrying the entire house on her shoulders, she would think that if Mian Niang had someone to rely on, she wouldn’t be in such a state.
Mian Niang looked at her with a smile that was not a smile: “It seems that the two of you were speaking in whispers just now.”
Mian Niang only thought that the little couple was talking about things that they didn’t know about, but she didn’t know that the two of them were actually talking about this. If they said that they were not moved, that was a lie, if it was anyone else, Mian Niang’s heart would be very warm, and she immediately felt that the morning breeze wasn’t as strong anymore.
“Right now, my skin is really thick. You guys can just say whatever you want to. I’m not stuck with anyone else, that’s my man, I can do whatever I want to do.”
“What can I say? I think you two are doing fine like this, really.”
Mian Niang did not lie because she felt that it was better for Mistress Yun to live a carefree and straightforward life, and she was jealous of Mistress Cloud’s straightforward and reckless actions.
“As for you, this person’s problem is that he thinks too much and cares too much about everything. Luckily, your family is better off now, or else I guess you would die of exhaustion sooner or later.”
“It’s not that serious. Besides, I don’t particularly care about it.”
Mistress Cloud sneered, “Don’t think so much, and make yourself look like a little slave. Just because of that small matter, I think that if Your Mother wanted to take out your heart and use it to stir up some trouble, you would probably want it too. You just have to think that as long as she does what she wants to do.”
Mian Niang lowered her eyebrows and said: “Isn’t it good to be like this now? Furthermore, I am truly responsible for the things that happened back then. ”
Mistress Cloud turned her head to look at her and sighed, “That’s what I said, there’s no need to think so much, these things are not something you can control. Sigh, but I was just worrying for nothing, luckily your mother has thought it through, do you know what I was thinking when your mother told me to bring out the egg in the jar for you to steam?”
“What is it?” Mian Niang was a little curious.
“I was just thinking whether your fall was worth it or not!”
When Mistress Yun said this, she was a little regretful. She felt that she was poking Mian Niang in his lungs, but she had already said it, if she wanted to take it back, it would be impossible.
Fortunately, Mian Niang was open-minded, “There’s nothing worth it, that’s my mother. Don’t mention me, everyone of us is down, what would you do?”
His own mother, even if she was quarreling a moment ago, would jump down when she saw that something had happened to her.
When a lamb kneels before its milk, the crow returns with its food. How could it so easily throw away something that was deeply embedded in its bones and blood?
“That doesn’t mean you can’t just rely on her. She’s an elder, but that doesn’t mean she’s right in everything.”
“Nothing depends on her!”
Mian Niang had a plan in her heart, she felt that she wasn’t some so-called foolish and filial person.
She was the one who wanted to support this family, but she didn’t have to rely on her mother for everything.
Starting from making tofu, the following steps, one by one, easy and tortuous, she always said that she would discuss it with her mother, and in the end, everything proceeded according to her plan.
Taking into account his interactions with Jiang Ting, Mian Niang thought of the brush, ink, and paper that Song Zhien had thrown Mother out and had stealthily picked them up to use. It was actually the same logic.
They didn’t want to anger their mother, but they also had their own standards for judging right and wrong. What their mother said was right, so they obeyed. What they said was wrong, they went back on their words.
It’s just that Mother doesn’t know.
Mian Niang didn’t feel that this was bad, but now, her mother had slowly thought it through. If they had quarreled back then, it would have been worth it even if the whole family had not been happy.
However, it was just as Mian Niang had said; everything had already passed, so there was no need to take out all of the unpleasant things that had happened back then and play around with them. Instead, it had only added to their unhappiness.
One of them picked up tofu while the other took money. They grew up together, so it was easy to reach a tacit understanding between them. It did not take long for their coordination to become extremely close.
As the crowd dispersed, Mistress Yun could not help but tease Mian Niang, “Ai, such a pity, I already have a snitch. If not, how good would it be if we could live together in the future?
Mian Niang glanced at her with a smile: “You dare to say anything, do you have a door in your mouth? Otherwise, if people listen to you, if they get into trouble again, when you turn around, you will be protected by a bolt of lightning.”
“That’s also his wish.” Mistress Cloud could not help but feel pleased with herself.
The two of them continued to chat as they arrived at Second Uncle Mei’s gate. Xinghua was currently waiting there with a large group of people and a basin.
Mian Niang could not help but smile slightly. Mistress Cloud also waved her hand, and continued, “Eh, forget everything else, Sister-in-Law Apricot Flower is truly a good person, this winter, she has asked a lot about your family and is extremely worried about you. But, I did not dare to tell you, because I am afraid of bringing up your grievances.
She was like a nagging old lady who didn’t trust Mian Niang at all.
Mian Niang didn’t understand it at first, but now she suddenly understood why Mistress Yun had said so much now.
She was afraid that he would return to the Plum Blossom Village, so she was sad. That was why she kept nagging about these things, wanting her to watch a little more.
“I know.”
was both helpless and touched. Mother Yun was probably one of the people who cared about her the most in this world.
Ever since the incident, Mistress Cloud had been doing her best to help her.
“Actually, I don’t want to hear you say that at all.”
Mistress Cloud complained in a low voice.
Compared to that, she hoped that Mian Niang could be a little willful.
Once they were in front of the crowd, Mistress Cloud could only swallow her words.
When the apricot flower saw Mian Niang, it was the first to greet him.
Mian Niang still called her “sister-in-law”, but after calling her sister-in-law, she couldn’t help but feel a little awkward.
“Sis, let’s not talk about this from here. In the future, as long as you are willing, I’ll be your blood sister.”
Xing Hua said straightforwardly.
Mian Niang happily agreed, and calling her “sister” was indeed more pleasing to the ears than calling her sister-in-law.
He greeted the others one after another and started picking up tofu for them.
The two of them worked well together, and very soon, the number of people around them decreased.
Xinghua stayed at the end, looking at Mian Niang’s hands and feet quickly calling out beans, counting money, listening to the people beside her praising Mian Niang’s ability, the smile on her face never faded, she was even happier than if she had been praised.
The crowd dispersed, her hands grabbing onto Mian Niang’s arm, she said in heartache:
“I didn’t see you get fat even after the new year. I wonder when this little body will grow some flesh.”
Wearing cotton clothes, you could even feel his arms sticking out.
“Even if I’m thin, my body isn’t weak. I’ll definitely be stronger than you.” Mian Niang laughed.
Taking the bowl from her, he gave it to Mistress Cloud and put the money from the apricot blossom into the saddlebag. Then, Mistress Cloud picked up two more pieces of tofu and placed them in the bowl.
When the apricot flower saw this, it hurriedly stopped him, “No, that won’t do. Your tofu didn’t fall from the sky, so it should be as much as you want.”
“Then what do you want? Sister-in-law, take it out with your hand and I’ll tell you. If you take it out like this, Mian Niang’s tofu dish will be sold off.”
Xing Hua looked at Mian Niang’s clean and tidy clothes, sighed, and said helplessly: “I’ll go in to get more money.”
“You asked me to call you sister just now, and said that you were my blood sister, and now you’re talking about money. Aren’t you still treating me as your blood sister?” Mian Niang teased.
Mistress Cloud chimed in, “That’s right, although what you say sounds good, but in reality, you still despise us Mian Niang.”
The apricot flower spat at Mistress Yun, “Hey, I didn’t mean it that way. Little Gouzi, you have such a sharp tongue, I’ve let you say everything.”
Mistress Cloud smiled, “How can I say that? Don’t tell me you didn’t say it earlier.”
Xing Hua couldn’t do anything to her, so she simply turned her head to advise Mian Niang.
Mian Niang laughed: “Sister, blood sister, it’s just two pieces of tofu, it’s indeed not worth pushing around. Mistress Cloud is right, if you don’t want two pieces of tofu, then you really won’t see me as a girl. ”
“I accept it, I accept it, do I dare to reject it? I’m really afraid of the two of you. ”
While the three of them were conversing, May-Second Aunt walked out from the courtyard. She carried a sack on her back and placed it on Mian Niang’s car.
“Second Aunt, what are you doing?”
May-Second Aunt was afraid that she would pat her pockets and laugh, “You didn’t come, so I won’t specially send you. It’s all fresh out, corn beans, melon seeds, take them back to your family’s little brat for snacks.”
After knowing that Mian Niang was going to come here, May-Second Aunt and Xing Hua started to play around with this. The corn seed was something that had been pampered a year ago, and was always left in the storage room to freeze after being mixed with sugar. When they wanted to eat it, they would cook it for their entire family to eat in front of their own mouths to make it convenient and practical.
When the wife thought about Mian Niang coming over to sell tofu, she was very happy. The two of them laughed and talked to each other, not expecting that the person who delivered the letter would come over before they had even finished cooking the corn beans, saying that it would be bad news for the grandmother’s mother-in-law.
The silly son’s wife cried until her nose was wet. The two of them did not know what to say anymore. May-Second Aunt went in to comfort her daughter-in-law.
“Don’t mind it, they are all from your own clan and are not worth much. Honestly speaking, I am afraid that you will take something of value, Mian Niang you should not take it.”
Mian Niang looked at the cloth bag helplessly: “Second Aunt —”
“What’s wrong? Why don’t I get your second uncle to bring a pot of oil for you? That’s the oil our family squeezed themselves. It was fragrant and pure, and there wasn’t the slightest bit of adultery?”
