hidden old spring

Chapter 49

Seeing that she couldn't talk, Mother Chen's feet went weak and she wanted to kneel down and cry for Su Changan. Su Changan struggled to support Mother Chen who was about to kneel down, and the smile on her face was frightened.

"Old man, what are you doing!"

"Please, little girl, I know you are a good person. Please just accept my children. They are all good children. They lost their father at a young age and their mothers are also heartless. Leave them alone." He turned around and remarried..."

Yindan interrupted at this time.

"Didn't you beat your two daughters-in-law away? You dislike them because they eat more and earn less. You blame them for not being active in work, and you beat and scold them all day long..."

At that time, Yindan was still young but could already remember things. The two families were very close to each other, separated by a small yard. He could always hear the movement there when he was playing in the yard.

After Su Changan heard this, he immediately thought of Li Danniu. His face turned pale and he tightened his grip on Mother Chen's hand.

After hearing this, Chen's mother couldn't stop crying.

"Whose daughter-in-law ran away after just a few words from her mother-in-law? They just couldn't hold on. They ran away just after my eldest and second child left. They remarried just after the news of his death came. A group of cruel white-eyed wolves, even the children. No, I haven’t come back to take a look for so many years, they are all a bunch of heartless things..."

Mother Chen was still crying, but Su Changan suddenly let go.

Mother Chen staggered and looked up at Su Changan. Su Changan had already turned around and walked out.

"Hey, girl, girl, listen to me."

Mother Chen wanted to grab Su Changan, but Yin Dan and Tong Dan took a step across to block it, preventing the old lady from succeeding.

Mother Chen wants to lose face. She can cry to Su Chang'an in the yard, but she can't pursue him outside the yard.

Without asking for a position as an apprentice, Mother Chen stood in the yard and slapped her thighs.

But Su Changan can't see these anymore.

Su Changan strode back to his yard, where Chen Liu was cleaning up silently. There was only a wall between the two yards. He must have heard what his mother said.

She stared at Chen Liu for three or four seconds, but Chen Liu didn't react at all. Su Changan felt relieved now.

After all this fuss, it was almost time for them to make tofu at noon.

"Bring out the beans and grind them, and then I'll teach you how to order tofu."

Upon hearing this, Yindan and Tongdan immediately became energetic, responded hurriedly, and then quickly started to prepare.

Su Changan taught the two of them how to make tofu by dotting the tofu with gypsum water and making physalis, and then dotting the tofu with the physalis.

Gypsum water is the source, and the subsequent physalis water is a convenient method of recycling.

Standing in the kitchen, Su Changan spoke eloquently to his two apprentices. The two of them listened very seriously. They watched Su Changan slowly pouring a spoonful of physalis into the pot, and then saw the beancurd appear with their own eyes. After that, they are familiar with scooping out the bean curd and putting it into the mold.

This scene was too magical for the two of them. Su Changan demonstrated it to them twice, and then handed the jar of physalis to them.

"Those two large vats are filled with physalis. After you use it, you can try it yourself. Now I'll leave this place to you two. I'll grind the beans."

Su Changan waved his hand and left the two brothers in the kitchen, while he went to add beans to the millstone.

There was a donkey to grind the beans. Su Changan struggled to sit on the crossbar. She put the bucket of beans on the millstone and let the donkey pull it around. She only had to move her hands.

As for the bucket of soy milk below being full, or there were no more beans, she could just call Chen Liu.

This job is better for Su Changan than ordering tofu in the kitchen, because she can secretly add soy milk.

Half a spoonful of beans, a pound of (cold) cooked soy milk.

One bucket of soaked beans has not been ground yet, but Chen Liu has already sent more than 30 buckets of soy milk into the kitchen.

Is this reasonable?

This is unreasonable!But Chen Liu is a person who doesn't use his brain and only knows how to work. He can't see this abnormality.

The two children could also tell that something was wrong, but they were trapped in the kitchen, focusing only on their skills in ordering tofu.

This is pretty good, except that the speed of cooking the soy milk is a bit slow.

Sitting on the horizontal bar, Su Changan added beans to the stone mill while thinking about adding more stoves.

When the reward for the thief comes down, she will buy a pot. When the time comes, several large pots will cook soy milk at the same time, and the scale of her business can be expanded.

Just when she was calculating how many pots to buy and how much firewood she would consume every day, her head suddenly hurt, and she subconsciously covered her head and let out an ouch.

Someone hit her with something!
She looked in the direction of the attacker, but before she could see who had done it, she was hit again on the head.

"oops!"

It's a stone!
The stone hit her head and then fell on her body. She saw clearly what hit her but not who.

But she knew the direction the stone was coming from, it was the Chen family!

"Chen Liu!...Ah!" After being hit again, Su Changan held her head and didn't look over there. She was afraid that if she looked, the stone would hit her eye, so she could only call Chen Liu.

Chen Liu was in a trance for a moment, and later realized that he heard Su Changan's screams. He looked towards the wall and saw two children clinging to the top of the wall, viciously throwing stones at Su Changan.

"What are you doing!!"

Chen Liu let out a loud roar, and the two children glanced at him without fear. They threw all the stones in their hands and then got down from the wall.

Su Changan was hit by stones seven or eight times. After he was no longer hit, he turned around to look over there. At this time, there was no one there.

Su Changan was also very angry when a stone was thrown at him for no reason, and he could not help but express his anger towards Chen Liu.

"Chen Liu, did you see who did it just now?"

Chen Liu didn't hide anything and said it directly.

"They are the two children from the eldest brother and second brother's family."

Su Changan didn't say anything, but looked straight at Chen Liu. Chen Liu paused and said.

"I will find my mother and ask her to give you an explanation."

Su Changan didn't understand this statement.

"Why do you want your mother to give me an explanation?"

Chen Liu looked away, and after almost three breaths, he spoke again.

"They listen to my mother."

This is wrong.

It would be fine if he was just an ordinary uncle at home, but Chen Liu earned most of the expenses of the Chen family, so he should have more say in the family.

Chen Liu didn't say anything more, but Su Changan could tell that Chen Liu was standing there at a loss.

She knew she shouldn't express her anger. This was done by a naughty kid and had nothing to do with Chen Liu.

But reason knows it, but emotion cannot understand it.

So she took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible while suppressing her temper.

"Then you go home now, I want to know what they want to do."
