Chapter 199 Ridiculous
But Liu Tiezhu seemed not to understand and still came to see her every few days.

He looks like he will not give up until he achieves his goal.

At this moment, Liu Tiezhu still had a warm smile on his face when he saw Song, and he trotted over to greet her, "Madam Song, what a coincidence, meeting you here."

"I don't think it's a coincidence." Song's face turned cold. She didn't want to say more to Liu Tiezhu and was about to leave.

"Madam Song." Liu Tiezhu raised his hand to stop Song. "I know you like me, but you are embarrassed to talk about remarrying."

"But we have been together for such a long time, and I have also been very attentive. In the eyes of others, it is me who is eager to marry Madam Song, not Madam Song who is eager to marry. I should have done enough to show my sincerity."

"Ms. Song, please stop being so arrogant. If you really piss me off, I will be angry and no one will want to marry you. Then you will get nothing."

"That's a bit ridiculous."

Song was angry and amused when she heard him say these words. "I never thought of remarrying. It was you who kept pestering me. You either came to talk to me or asked Madam You to talk to me. Now it's my fault."

"I'm telling you something. If you keep pestering me, I'll report you to the authorities and let everyone see who's being so shameless!"

Seeing that Song even said such harsh words as reporting to the police, Liu Tiezhu was stunned.

Does this Song really not want to remarry him?
But why?

In terms of appearance, he is quite handsome. In terms of family background, although his family is not wealthy, they have enough food and clothing. After his wife passed away, many matchmakers came to propose marriage, including some unmarried girls.

Right now he just wanted to marry the widow Song, but she refused?

Liu Tiezhu was a little annoyed, "Why didn't you say so earlier!"

If she had said earlier that she didn't want to remarry, why would he have spent so much energy and wasted so much time?

I’m afraid that I’ll be laughed at when I turn around, so I can’t even marry a widow.

Song suddenly burst into laughter.

It's not like she hadn't said it at first, and she had even refused when Youshi came to propose marriage for the first time, but no one believed her.

Everyone thought that she was just a widow, and that she would definitely agree to such a great marriage. The reason she didn't agree so readily was that she was embarrassed to be a widow remarrying.

The person proposing marriage needs to make his attitude clear, and even pester her, and everyone needs to persuade her so that she has to marry.

But few people know that she didn't want to remarry from the beginning.

She just wanted to be alone, quietly be a widow as others talked about her, work hard, and survive in such a world.

But now that she has made her attitude clear, others are still blaming her, asking why she didn't say it earlier?
Tell me earlier?

Ah……

Song was too lazy to explain too much to the stubborn Liu Tiezhu, and she felt that no matter how she explained, Liu Tiezhu would blame all the faults on her. So she simply kept silent and didn't say anything. She just glanced at Liu Tiezhu and left.

Being ignored like this, Liu Tiezhu felt even more embarrassed, and he just spat at Song's back, "Bah, what a thing, you wasted so much time and didn't even say a word!"

"You are just a widow. It would be fine if she didn't despise you for your bad luck. But now you are picking on Qiao. You really take yourself seriously and don't even look at your own moral character!"

"As long as I want to marry, I can marry a virgin. It will be too late for you to regret then!" A widow does not even think about remarrying. How can her life be easy in the future?
By then, she will really cry...

Liu Tiezhu cursed from a distance for a long time, but never got any response from the Song family. Instead, someone on the side of the road frowned slightly when he heard what he said.

Some even glared at Liu Tiezhu and started to curse, "I was wondering why my toilet was half empty today. Did you go there to eat something? That's why your mouth stinks?"

The world had been in turmoil for many years, and many men in families were drafted into the army or sent to do hard labor under various pretexts, so that many families had widowed mothers or daughters.

Without a man in the family, the widow's life is already difficult, and she looks so pitiful.

But nowadays, there are people who want to marry a widow but are unable to do so, and they are cursing widows here, which makes some people bring it up with their own family members.

Their widowed mother raised them and their brothers and sisters, and they didn't know how much hardship and suffering she endured.

And those widowed young daughters, nieces, and grandchildren might also be being targeted by such disgusting people and being humiliated and insulted in every way.

When they thought of this, some even clenched their fists and wanted to raise their hands to hit Liu Tiezhu.

Liu Tiezhu was scolded for no reason and was very angry. He wanted to scold back or punch them so that those talkative people would know how powerful he was.

But when he met the eyes of the other person that seemed to be spitting fire, he immediately became very scared. He just shrank his neck subconsciously and left in a panic.

After walking away for a long time, he dared to glare back fiercely.

Who is that...

I bother!

The sun gradually slid down from the sky and fell completely when it reached the edge of the sky.

When we woke up the next morning, the sun rose again and continued to shine brightly.

The sales of braised food by Shopkeeper Qian and the Liu couple continued to be good, so Xia Mingyue increased the quantity of the braised food.

The braised chicken and pork skin jelly sent to Dexin Garden were very popular. He Shunzi came twice more, brought some silver and asked Xia Mingyue to make some more.

Considering that people like Madam He might be a little tired of eating pork, Xia Mingyue simply braised some fish balls, fish tofu and the like, which can be eaten as a side dish or as a snack.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Xia Mingyue took out the yeast that He Shunzi had found for her and steamed a pot of glutinous rice.

The glutinous rice is soaked in cold water for two hours before being steamed. It is then placed in a wooden basin and directly put into the steamer. The steamed glutinous rice is very fragrant and has a unique sweetness.

Let the glutinous rice just out of the pot cool to the same temperature as your hand, dissolve the koji in cold water and pour it evenly into the glutinous rice, then put the whole wooden basin in the room, on the kang where Lu Qiyan sleeps.

To ensure that the rice wine could be fully fermented, Xia Mingyue wrapped a thick quilt around the wooden basin and lit a fire on the earthen kang to ensure that the entire fermentation environment was warm and suitable.

It takes several days for the rice wine to ferment. During this period, Xia Mingyue concentrates on doing business.

First, we need to continue to negotiate and agree on franchisees for the breakfast stall.

There are now two breakfast stalls. Xia Mingyue plans to develop one in each city area based on the standards of the previous stalls.
