Chapter 67 The First Pot

After a few seconds, Dong Bao was freed from the panic and let out a sigh of relief.The two of them were really terrified of being oppressed by the Song family, and now even if they separated, their first reaction was to panic when Song Yu came to them.

Song Yu, who was outside the door, was impatient. He knew that Li's mother and daughter must be at home, so he slammed on the door harder, and shouted: "Dong Bao! Dong Bao? Open the door!"

Looking at the brand-new thick wooden door that still exudes the fragrance of wood, Song Yu felt sour and jealous, and couldn't help poohing on the door, with her hips on her hips and mouth curled up, her eyes were about to glisten. The gate of the Song family was made of bundled firewood, and it looked shabby.

They are all from the same village. Of course he heard about Li Lifeng paying for Dongbao's mother and daughter to buy a house. ?Not mean.

"The Li family members are not good people!" Song Yu babbled and cursed, "So rich, I never saw him dig out three walnuts and two dates when his sister was at home!"

Dong Bao was in the yard, but he didn't hear what Song Yu said at the door, so he curled his lips and replied, "Here we come!"

Considering that Li Shi and Dong Bao are two independent women, the wooden door that Li Lifeng bought for them has a palm-sized opening, and a small latch behind the opening. If someone knocks on the door, open the opening first. This door will not be opened for people who know people or those who are planning to do something wrong.

Li Shi wanted to get up to open the door, but Dong Bao stopped her and let her in.

After Mrs. Li entered the room, Dong Bao dragged a small stool, put it next to the door, and stepped on the small stool to open the door.In fact, she could get the latch on the door opening without a small bench, but in that case she would not be able to block the door opening, and Song Yu could see the situation in the yard through the door opening.

"So it's the second uncle, what's the matter?" Dong Bao asked.

Song Yu sullenly scolded impatiently: "What are you doing in the house? You can't come out to open the door after shouting for a long time! Why don't you open the door?"

Dong Bao blocked the door tightly. Song Yu bent over to look but couldn't see anything. He was so angry that he didn't even open the door for him? !
"Second Uncle, I just boiled medicine for my mother, and I can't leave." Dong Bao said.

Song Yu frowned, rolled his eyes and said, "Open the door, your grandma told me to come over and see how your mother is doing."

Dong Bao shook his head with a bitter face, "Second Uncle, didn't the doctor say that my mother's illness will be extraordinary, so don't come in, what if you are also infected, what should I do? The knife cut me!"

Song Yu widened his eyes, "Why are you talking so much nonsense! If you tell you to open the door, you will open it!" When he was just wandering outside, he heard that Mrs. Li's fierce and unfeminine elder sister asked a doctor to see Mrs. Li again. , Said that the first two doctors were misdiagnosed, and Li was not seriously ill at all.He was puzzled in his heart. Could it be that the two doctors hired by the Lin family from the town were not as good as the barefoot doctors in the countryside?
"Second uncle, you look like this, I'm so scared... I dare not open it!" Dong Bao tried hard to make a frightened expression of a ten-year-old girl, but seeing Song Yu blowing his beard and staring was so funny, she couldn't hold back at all. With a smile on his face, he finally said: "Second uncle, I have to make medicine for my mother." He simply closed the door with a "snap" and put the latch on.

Song Yu was caught off guard, and the door slammed shut in front of his face, scaring him and staggered two steps back. After regaining his senses, Song Yu became furious, raised his leg and kicked the door hard. , gritted his teeth and scolded: "Damn girl, come out for me, I can't beat you to death, you stinky girl!"

"Second uncle, please spare me and my mother!" Dong Bao's crying voice came from the yard, the voice was loud and clear, like singing a big show, "My mother is still counting on the two slings of money that the family gave us Buy medicine to save lives, Second Uncle, I can’t give you that money! Second Uncle, my grandfather said he would give us that money! Second Uncle, please, don’t hit me!”

Song Yu kicked the door twice again angrily, but the heavy wooden door didn't move at all, but his feet in the single cloth shoes hurt terribly, and he didn't even touch a single hair of this little bastard, this little bastard with a bad stomach Just howling as if he did something to her.

Farmers live in three or five families together, and the houses are close together, and the west family can hear a few conversations between the east family and the west family.Dong Bao's voice was bright, and he cried out a few words. Immediately, many people from the nearby houses came out to watch the fun, and pointed at Song Yu who was standing at the door of Dong Bao's house and kicked the door aggressively.

"Second Song, you have to be conscientious in being a human being, and the sky is watching what you are doing!" A gray-haired old lady pointed at Song Yu with the support of her grandson.

A lot of people around him echoed, "It's a shame to even grab the life-saving money of a scholar lady!"

"Those who bully sisters-in-law, nieces, orphans and widows are not afraid of retribution!"

"We don't have this kind of thing in Tagouji. Why didn't we find out before that Song Laoer and his mother are such people!"

No matter how thick-skinned Song Yu was, he couldn't stand it anymore. If Song Yu was smart, it would be the best policy to walk quickly with his tail between his legs at this time. After two days, the villagers would forget about it, and it would be over. Unfortunately, Song Yu Yu is not smart. After Song Xiucai's death, he considered himself the boss of the family. Apart from not daring to disobey the Huang family, how could he stand the idleness, so he immediately yelled at the spectators: "I didn't ask them for money. Don't listen to Dong Bao's nonsense!"

Dong Bao's surprised voice came again, "Second Uncle, don't you ask us for money? Thank you Second Uncle! Second Uncle, you are a good person, Second Uncle. If my mother recovers from her illness, I will repay you like a cow and a horse. Your great kindness!"

Song Yu was so angry that she was about to fall over.

The old lady who was the first to criticize Song Yu waved her hand angrily, "What a shameless thing!" She asked the little grandson next to her to help her go home, and even looking at Song Yu more often felt disgusted.

Song Yu's face turned red, he didn't know whether it was from shame or anger, and it became darker and darker as he continued, so he turned around and ran away in a desperate manner.Song Yu left, and the spectators also dispersed. Those who should go home went home, and those who should visit the house. As for the gossiping behind the folks, it was beyond the Song family's control.

When there was no sound outside, Dong Bao ran to the door, stepped on the stool and opened the door to look out. Seeing that Song Yu had really left, he let out a sigh of relief. He hoped that Song Yu would wink in the future and stop hitting the mother and daughter. idea.

Looking back, Dong Bao saw Li Shi coming out of the house, leaning against the door frame with a pale face, and asked with trembling lips: "Your second uncle is here, what's the matter?"

Dong Bao closed the door, moved the stool back to the yard, took Li Shi to sit down, and comforted: "It's okay, don't be afraid, we are separated, and no one can control us. He was sent away by me. I’m sure I won’t be able to come here again these days.”

"Then what did he say?" Li Shi felt a little more at ease.

Dong Bao spread his hands, "Who knows? He said it was my grandma who asked him to see how you are, who are you coaxing?" No matter how selfish and unreasonable Huang is, it is impossible for a big man like Song Yu to go alone See how the widow is doing.

"It must be that he heard that you are getting well soon, and no one is doing the housework. He came to want to know how we are. Let's ignore him. It's just that my grandma is here. He can tell us whatever he wants. I can't give in, and I can't give her anything." Dong Bao said.

Li's heart was soft, and she was brainwashed by Song Xiucai with a belief in her heart that Song Xiucai was dead, and she had to honor Huang's for Song Xiucai.However, Dong Bao believes that filial piety is the key to success. If Huang Shi is a kind and kind elder, she certainly won't stop Li Shi from performing filial piety for her husband.Everyone knows what kind of person Huang is now. To be filial to Huang is tantamount to selling oneself to Huang as a livestock.

She was vaccinating Mrs. Li. If Mrs. Huang came to ask Mrs. Li to go home, or asked for something, she would call back everything.

"This... definitely." Li Shi hesitated and nodded. For the sake of her daughter, she can't go back. She still wants to work hard for a few years, save some money, and make a dowry for her daughter. A daughter without a dowry will go to her in-law's house My mother-in-law will definitely look down upon her.

In the afternoon, Dongbao's aunt Li Hongqin brought her daughter Zhang Xiuyu over. She was worried about Li's sister at home, so she brought Zhang Xiuyu over after lunch, and planned to stay at Dongbao's house for one night before leaving.

As the name suggests, Zhang Xiuyu is three years older than Dong Bao. She has already started to grow thin, delicate and shy. After greeting Dong Bao and Mrs. Li at Dong Bao's house, she is busy tidying up the yard for Dong Bao and Mrs. Li. No matter what Li Shi said, he would not be idle.

Li Hongqin also brought over two sets of clothes for Dong Bao, and said with a smile, "They are all old clothes worn by Xiuyu before, throw them away, and Bao'er will wear them first."

Farmers don't throw away clothes. When the clothes are no longer wearable, they have to be washed and cut into pieces for shoe soles. What Li Hongqin said was just a polite way of saying it, I'm afraid the Li family would not want it.

When the sun was in the west, the soybean milk in the cauldron had already begun to bubble and boil. Dongbao took out the burning firewood from the stove. After the soybean milk cooled for a while, Dongbao lightly touched the pot with his fingers. I tried the temperature of the soy milk in it, and then I started to order tofu.

As the gypsum water was poured in intermittently and evenly, the soy milk in the pot quickly condensed into pieces of snow-white bean curds. Dongbao fished out the formed bean curds and put them in a basin aside. The original white soy milk is only clear and slightly yellow water.

"It's amazing!" Li Hongqin sighed. "The white tofu is so tender, just looking at it makes people want to eat it."

Looking at a pot of white and tender bean curd, Dong Bao was also full of joy. The bean curd has to be pressed before it can be dehydrated into tofu.After hearing what the auntie said, Dong Bao had an idea, "Mother, let's not sell tofu first, but sell bean curd first, so as to open up the market!"
