Chapter 35: The Talking Daughter-in-law
Your own family has not yet realized the freedom to eat meat, so other people still want to take advantage?
So Su Xiaomu looked at Aunt Bai and said hypocritically: "Oh, I originally wanted to entertain you, Aunt Bai, but now the children are eating so fast that they have finished their meal.
Otherwise, Aunt Bai, will you come back in two days?
We will entertain you well then."
Aunt Bai suddenly heard Su Xiaomu say this. She looked down at her crying grandson in her arms, and then looked up at the clean table.
Not to mention the meat, even the soup was consumed.
Aunt Bai's face sank at first, but then she thought that this was not her home and it was not easy to lose her temper.
It took her a while before a smile appeared on her dark face: "It's okay, there is always something else to eat in your kitchen. It's getting late, otherwise I would just eat some at your house."
Although Su Xiaomu still had a smile on his face after listening to her words, at this moment he really felt that he had never seen anyone so shameless before.
Of course, she didn't dare to say this.
Otherwise, if this man surnamed Bai chooses to label her as disrespectful to her elders, she may not have much reputation in the village in the future.
Although she didn't care, if this matter affected Gu Jingcheng, Mrs. Li would definitely not let her go.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaomu no longer had a good impression of Gu Jingcheng.
He was quite comfortable, looking for his future alone in the academy.
But so many people have to endure hardships for his future.
I didn't see Aunt Bai mentioning his name and claiming that he was talented.
They, the whole family, did not dare to kick out Shen Ze, whose surname was Bai.
Thinking of this, the smile on her face turned cold, and there was a bit of cynicism in it.
"Mom, since Aunt Bai regards us as her own family, let's not hide some things from her. After all, it costs so much money for my husband to study outside. It's not enough for us as a family to grit our teeth and confess."
Su Xiaomu's words made Ms. Li stunned for a moment, but she immediately realized what her wife-in-law meant.
Following her words, he said to Aunt Bai: "Yes, since our two families have a good relationship, there are some things that we really shouldn't hide from you. My youngest is going to take the exam soon. According to a rough calculation, it will cost twenty taels of silver."
No, there’s still a gap of ten taels.”
Mrs. Li said sheepishly to Aunt Bai: "Sister Bai, I really treat you as my sister.
Why don't you lend me ten taels of silver because it's difficult for your child to study?"
"How can I have so much money? I see you are crazy, you dare to buy anything for twenty taels of silver.
Forget it, I won't eat at your house anymore. My grandson is not in good health recently, and I have to take him back to take medicine."
Aunt Bai hugged her dog and ran out of the Gu family's yard as if she were fleeing.
However, in order to stimulate her even more, Su Xiaomu stood up and yelled: "Why is Auntie gone? We definitely didn't borrow this money for nothing. When my husband becomes a high official in some time, he will definitely not forget you, Auntie."
Kindness.”
Aunt Bai ran faster after hearing this.
Su Xiaomu looked at the way she was leaving, and the more he thought about it, the more funny it became.
After sending away such a difficult person, Li turned around and looked at Su Xiaomu meaningfully.
She didn't expect that the new daughter-in-law she married was not only smart, but also good at fooling people.
"If you say that, I'm afraid she won't dare to come to my house again."
Mrs. Li looked at the children who were eating contentedly, and her mood instantly improved.
He laughed and scolded: "Look at your greedy looks, as if you haven't eaten meat for hundreds of years."
"Ruonan and the others just don't want to waste food on others.
Mom, do you think this is true? Everything in our house must be shared with each other first.
Then we have to spend it all on ourselves. We don’t even have enough to eat, so there’s no point in giving to others.”
"That's the truth. Okay, okay, just pack your things and go do your own thing. As for your stall, just discuss it with your sister-in-law."
Ms. Li was also tired today and her back was sore every day. She had to go back to bed and lie down.
Mr. Gu never paid attention to these matters at home. He followed Gu Feng and Gu Hai to repair damaged farm tools in the yard.
The three men stopped caring after dinner. Mrs. Chen led the children to wash their hands first, and then took over the chores of washing dishes and tidying up the kitchen.
Su Xiaomu and Yinshi are also very busy here.
The two of them cleared out the carts at home and moved the boilers that would be used tomorrow.
It was inconvenient to carry firewood on a cart, so they used carbon from home.
Fortunately it's not winter now, otherwise the charcoal fire at home wouldn't be enough for them to make.
The next day, Su Xiaomu and Yin got up very early. Li was not feeling well and asked Chen to help them knead the dough for pancakes.
Because there were too many things, she and Mrs. Yin were unable to take the bullock cart, so they had to alternately push the cart into the city.
Along the way, Su Xiaomu really felt the importance of the saying "If you want to get rich, build roads first."
She held her waist.
Hurrying slowly, we finally got a place before the vendors filled up the stall space at the entrance of the academy.
"Going into the city this time is much more troublesome than before. If I had to come here every day, I feel like my life is at stake."
She looked at Yin, who had been busy packing her things, and resigned herself to stepping forward to help.
Yes, everything has to be based on reality in the end anyway. Now except making money, nothing can soothe her seriously injured heart.
After the baked cakes were put into the pot to warm up, Su Xiaomu took out the leftover pork head meat from yesterday and chopped it into pieces.
Since it was braised yesterday, it can be used now as long as it is heated.
No one can resist the aroma of braised pork, especially the ancient people who always had simple food and cooking.
Su Xiaomu's meat had just been heated up, and before he had time to chop it into pieces, a customer came up to ask.
"Hey boss, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why are you selling meat cakes instead of wild vegetable pancakes?"
Su Xiaomu looked up after hearing the voice and saw that it was a regular customer who had taken care of her business before.
Then a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she happily said to the guests: "Isn't it that the wild vegetables in the mountains are getting old, and the cakes used to make them will definitely not taste as good as before, so I thought about changing the type of cakes to sell, or else
Guest, come and try it, this is much more delicious than the previous wild vegetable pancakes."
When he saw a regular customer, Su Xiaomu generously cut a small piece of Roujiamo and handed it to him to taste: "If it's not delicious, you won't be charged."
The smell of the meat here, coupled with the fact that it was not delicious and they didn’t charge money, she told people passing by who heard it and immediately became interested.
Several people gathered directly in front of Su Xiaomu's stall and curiously asked about the price.
"My pancake is called Roujiamo, and it's filled with serious pork."
