Chapter 31

After selling the maltose, Su He took his two children home.

Su He parked the cart and went into the house to count the money.

Most of them were Mao Zedong notes, but there were also two or three one-dollar notes. Su He counted the money and found that there were twenty-three yuan and forty cents.

It’s pretty much the same as I expected.

It is still too conservative to buy more goods today. I will buy more goods the day after tomorrow.

“Mom, aren’t you going to make candies tomorrow?” Niu Niu asked from the side.

“No, children can’t eat sweets every day, it will damage their teeth.”

Niu Niu immediately showed her two rows of teeth to Su He, and then said, “Mom, my teeth are very good, I don’t have cavities.”

“Me neither.” Seeing this, Zizi also bared his teeth and showed his two rows of teeth to Su He.

Su He was a little amused when seeing this, and then said: “I know, I know. You are both great kids.”

After getting Su He’s praise, the two kids went to play in the mud contentedly.

Su He started to prepare lunch.

After cooking the rice, she took out the potatoes that the Fu family had brought earlier and cut them into shreds. Then he took out the ribs that he had exchanged in the space and planned to make a sweet and sour ribs.

Many people in rural areas raise chickens and ducks, but Su He can’t afford them because he has no money.

Moreover, people nowadays use chickens and ducks to lay eggs and are reluctant to eat them at home.

There were chickens, ducks, fish and meat in the space, but Su He could tell the children that the pork was left by their father, so how did the chicken appear?

However, no matter how dumb the two kids were, they probably knew that it was not right to always have meat to eat at home. There was no pork for sale every day in the countryside, and if they wanted to eat pork, they had to go to town to buy it.

The town is not far from the village, only twenty minutes’ walk away, it’s very close.

Why doesn’t anyone doubt the origin of the meat when Su He has it to eat? Because her house is at the end of the village, there is a small road that can go directly to the town without passing through the village entrance.

Who is watching you every day to see if you go to buy meat?

After Su He finished cooking the dishes, he called the two children in to eat.

“Wow Mom, what kind of meat is this? It looks so delicious.” Niu Niu pointed at the sweet and sour spareribs and said exaggeratedly.

“This is called sweet and sour spareribs. You guys try it and see if it tastes good while mom makes it.” After Su He said that, she picked up two pieces of spareribs for each of the two kids.

“It’s delicious. Mom, if I can eat sweet and sour pork ribs every day, I will definitely be the happiest kid in the world.”

It can be seen that Niu Niu likes sweet and sour pork ribs very much. She even said such words.

“Where’s Zaizai? Do you like it?” Su He asked Zaizai who had been silent the whole time.

“I like it. I like everything mom makes.” Zizi replied expressionlessly.

“Well, that’s good. But you can’t eat sweet and sour spareribs every day, or you’ll get sick of it.” Su He replied regretfully.

Will you get bored? Shouldn’t you say that you don’t have that much money to buy meat every day? The cub looked at his mother with some confusion. But he didn’t ask anything in the end.

Not long after we finished our meal, an unexpected guest came to our door.

That’s right, it’s Fu Dajun’s sister-in-law Chen Shufen.

Considering her shameless behavior in the Fu family before, Su He felt a headache when he saw her now.

“Aunt, why are you here?” No matter how much she disliked Chen Shufen, Chen Shufen had never offended her directly, so Su He still greeted her with a smile.

“Hey, Su He, I heard that you were selling malt sugar? I just went to work in the fields, and when I came back you had already closed your stall. Do you have any left? Your nephew is clamoring for some.” Chen Shufen said carelessly.

“Gone. They were sold out in more than an hour.” Su He spread his hands, expressing helplessness.

“Oh, why don’t you make more? Besides, since you’ve made it, you should save some for your family. Your nephew hasn’t even had it yet.” Chen Shufen said complainingly.

Hearing this, the smile on Su He’s face disappeared.

“Aunt, once the products are made, it’s still unknown whether they can be sold or not. I didn’t know they would sell so quickly. If my products don’t sell well at that time, wouldn’t I lose money? Can you help me make up for the loss, aunt?” Su He said with a smile.

When Chen Shufen heard this, she immediately quit. What did Su He’s loss of money have to do with her?

When she was about to refute, Su He said again: “Besides, if they are my family, I have given them all to eat. How can my aunt say that I didn’t leave any for them?”

Now Chen Shufen couldn’t say that she and Su He were a family. She could still talk about Fu Dajun. After all, they were indeed a family before they separated. But since Su He had moved out and no longer lived with the Fu family, she and Su He would become even further apart.

“If all my relatives come to me to ask for food, I won’t be able to continue my business. So, I usually charge them for it.” Su He said meaningfully.

Now Chen Shufen understood that Su He wanted to charge her for just a little bit of her candy.

She was not in the right with Su He, so she immediately went to the Fu family to find Fu Dajun.

At this time, the Fu family had just finished their meal. When they saw Chen Shufen, they thought she was here to eat for free. Fu Dajun was about to speak when Chen Shufen started talking a lot.

“Da Jun, you should take good care of your wife. She sold some malt sugar but didn’t even leave any for my grandson. She even charged him for it. How can this be justified? She charges money for her own family to eat the sugar. Ugh! I’ve never seen anyone so shameless. She’s only obsessed with money.” Chen Shufen started to curse.

Fortunately, Su He was not there, otherwise he would have started arguing with her.

Before Fu Dajun could reply, Wu Yanhua quit and retorted immediately: “Why should I leave it for your grandson? My wife is doing business, not charity. We sell things to make money. Leave a little of this and a little of that. Do you still want to do business? Besides, I paid Su He for the malt sugar. Who do you think you are? You want to eat it for free without paying?”

The two started cursing at the door of the Fu family’s house. Seeing this, others came forward to watch.

Chen Shufen always likes to take advantage of the Fu family, and everyone in the village knows it, so this matter is really difficult to talk about. Every man has his own reasons, and every woman has her own reasons.

Someone who loves to watch the fun immediately ran to inform Su He, and that person was Aunt Niu.

“Sister Su, Sister Su, your mother-in-law…your mother-in-law, is arguing with your aunt!” Aunt Niu ran to Su He’s house and said breathlessly.

Upon hearing this, Su He immediately said to Aunt Niu, “Aunt Niu, please help me look after the two kids. I’ll go over to take a look.”

After saying that, he immediately ran away, and Aunt Niu couldn’t stop him.

Wu Yanhua and Chen Shufen were still arguing at this moment.

“I’ve tolerated you taking advantage of my family so many times over the years. My daughter-in-law runs a business and sold the things without keeping any for you, but you still scold her like this. Chen Shufen, do you have any shame?”

“I have no shame? My husband got a chronic illness when he was a child because he took care of your husband and his family, and he passed away early. Your family should repay our family and work hard for us.”

Seeing that Chen Shufen was talking about old things all day long and was so confident, the villagers were glad that she was not their relative. They really couldn’t explain it to the shrew.
