Chapter 51

At one o’clock in the afternoon, Wu Yanhua came to the door.

Su He had already gotten up and started frying fried rice cakes again.

After getting up, the two kids ran to the village again. After playing in the morning, they knew that their mother would never become the same mother again, so as soon as Zaizai got up, he took Niu Niu to the village to play with his brothers and sisters.

The kids in the countryside are very active. In the morning, brother Zhuangzhuang said that he would take them to the fields on the other side to catch eels, as there were more eels there.

Thinking of the eel porridge that Su He made for them last time, the two kids actively went to Fu’s house in the village to play with brother Zhuangzhuang and the others in the afternoon.

Su He only reminded them to be careful and did not interfere too much with their freedom.

Su He also didn’t expect Wu Yanhua to come to his house suddenly.

She walked into the kitchen carrying a bag of sweet potatoes and saw Su He frying fried cakes.

“Are you planning to fry this and sell it at the market tomorrow?” Wu Yanhua asked, staring at the fried cakes in the pot.

“Mom, you’re here. Yes, I took it to sell last time and it sold quite well, so I plan to fry more this time.” Su He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.

Wu Yanhua felt even more complicated when she looked at Su He, who seemed like a good wife and mother.

She thought that after her son came back this time, Su He would make a fuss about going to the city with her son, but she didn’t expect that she would stay in the countryside honestly and even plan to start her own business to make money.

“I ate the baba you made this morning. It was delicious. I brought you some sweet potatoes. See if you can use them.”

After saying this, Wu Yanhua put the bag of sweet potatoes on the ground.

Su He glanced at the bag of sweet potatoes, which should be about ten pounds, and quickly said, “Mom, no need, I have enough sweet potatoes here, you can keep them for yourselves.”

“I’ve already brought it, just keep it.” Wu Yanhua said with a frown.

When her youngest son left, he gave herself and her husband one hundred yuan each, and he must have also given money to Su He.

But Su He is still willing to work so hard to make money. It seems that she really misjudged her before. Su He is a good person.

However, Su He was unwilling to take other people’s things without knowing the reason. She stopped what she was doing, took out five dollars from her pocket and stuffed it into Wu Yanhua’s hand, then said, “Mom, how can I take your sweet potatoes for free? Just think of it as if I bought them from you.”

Wu Yanhua took the five dollars that Su He stuffed into her hand, and suddenly felt a little angry.

Su He had become a better person when he came back this time, but he was very estranged from the Fu family. He never asked them for help when he had problems and always handled everything on his own.

For just a few sweet potatoes, she actually gave herself five dollars.

“What do you mean now? Are you still blaming me for separating your room? You are being so distant with me.” Wu Yanhua said coldly.

When Su He heard her words, she knew that her mother-in-law had misunderstood her, and hurriedly said, “How could that be, Mom? It’s just that the Fu family includes not only you and Dad, but also your brother and sisters-in-law. I’m afraid that they will think too much if they know you are sending things to me.

Besides, I didn’t help you with your farming, and I still have to eat your food. When the time comes, my sister-in-law will know, I’m afraid they will be unhappy even if they don’t say it on the surface.”

Wu Yanhua didn’t expect that she thought so much and took all these concerns into consideration. She felt that she was becoming more sensible.

“It’s just a few sweet potatoes. I can still make the decision.”

Wu Yanhua said seriously, and stuffed the money back to Su He. Then she said, “I know you have been wronged before, and I may have been a little prejudiced against you at that time, so…”

She sighed, and said, “You and Tinghua should live a good life in the future, okay? If you have any difficulties in the village, come to me and your father.”

Su He was a little shocked at the sensible character of her mother-in-law Wu Yanhua. No wonder the Fu family has been together for so long, and there are no major conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and the sisters-in-law. This should be the credit of her mother-in-law.

“Okay, I understand. Thank you, Mom.” Su He smiled and said sincerely.

Wu Yanhua felt relieved that he had finally talked it out with his wife.

After Fu Tinghua came back, she was scolded by her husband again, saying that she should not have separated her youngest son’s family just because she didn’t like Su He.

The younger son is filial and the younger daughter-in-law is sensible. I really don’t understand what she is picking on.

Although Su He was a little fat, she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, for his son. Even if she had no credit, she had worked hard.

Twins, a boy and a girl, were a symbol of good luck in that era, but Wu Yanhua hated Su He so much that she disliked both babies.

Now that Wu Yanhua is not so resistant to Su He, the more she looks at her two grandchildren, the more she likes them.

She is very fair and tender, and so pretty. She is so sensible at only three years old.

So now she urgently needs to repair her relationship with Su He.

Wu Yanhua glanced at Su He and asked curiously, “Have you lost weight again?”

Su He was thinking about how to make money all day long and was not so obsessed with losing weight. But she controlled her food intake every day, so Su He was not very clear whether she had lost weight or not.

“Ah? I’m not quite sure. Does he look a little thinner?” Su He asked curiously.

There was no full-length mirror in their house, so Su He couldn’t see himself.

“You’ve lost weight! Aren’t you losing weight too fast? Are you sick?” Wu Yanhua said with a frown.

“Mom, how could that be? Don’t worry. I feel much better recently. I used to be too fat and felt very breathless, but now I’m getting better and better.” Su He said with a smile.

“You still have to take care of your health and don’t work too hard,” Wu Yanhua reminded.

“I know, Mom.”

“I’ll also take the kids to the street tomorrow, but we won’t go so early. We’ll see if we can come across your stall then.”

Nowadays, street vendors don’t have fixed stall locations, so it’s up to chance whether you can come and visit.

But how big can a street in a town be? If Wu Yanhua walked along the entire street, she would definitely be able to see Su He, unless they went too late and Su He had already sold all his things.

“Okay, Mom. Let’s have dinner here tonight?” Su He asked with a smile.

“No need, I should go back. I don’t know where Zhuangzhuang and the others took your two kids to have fun. I’ll go and take a look.”

After saying that, Wu Yanhua got up and left. No matter how Su He tried to persuade her to stay for dinner in the evening, she refused.

After Wu Yanhua left, Su He stood up and took a look at the sweet potatoes that Wu Yanhua had placed on the ground.

When he opened it, he saw some potatoes. Su He couldn’t help but smile with relief.

It seems that she is becoming more and more integrated into this world. Although this era does not have the bright lights and feasting, she is living very happily here.

Su He washed the potatoes, then tried to fry one or two fried cakes with potatoes. He tried them himself and found that they were not as delicious as those made with sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes have their own sweetness, and when combined with the flour she prepared, the fried potatoes taste salty and sweet.

The potatoes have no taste, they just have a salty taste because they are coated in flour.

Sweet potatoes are still delicious.

Su He saved two fried potato cakes, planning to let the two kids try them after they came back.
