Soul: At the beginning, the father died, and the eldest and second brothers wanted to separate the f

When she got home, Sun Ruhua looked unhappy. Xie Jiaojiao noticed it and hurried over to comfort her.

"Mom, these are really useful to me!"

Sun Ruhua shook her hand off and said unhappily, "How can you finish all this?"

"Tofu won't last long!"

Xie Jiaojiao said: "I didn't buy it for us to eat! I bought it to make other things and sell. We have sold out all the brown sugar, so we have to think of other ways to make money, right?"

"What can you make with this tofu? I told you it won't last long. Even if you make it well and sell it in town, it will all go bad!"

Xie Jiaojiao smiled, patted her chest and said, "Don't worry! When I sell it for a lot of money, I'll buy you a gold hairpin!"

When Sun Ruhua was teased by her, she couldn't help laughing, but she felt it was embarrassing to laugh. That expression was very interesting.

Xie Jiaojiao pulled Sun Ruhua's arm and shook it: "Okay, mom, don't be angry. Let me tell you, if this thing is made, it will definitely be very valuable. Then I will buy you a gold hairpin and a gold bracelet!"

Xie Jiaojiao is really good at making big promises!

Seeing her like this, Sun Ruhua snorted, but was no longer angry.

The three of them only had one bun at noon and were now hungry. Sun Ruhua cooked and Xie Zhiyi lit the fire.

Xie Jiaojiao started to process the tofu. She had to process it all today, otherwise it would not be fresh.

Cut all the tofu into small square pieces and spread them on the steaming grid. The steaming grid was not enough, so Xie Jiaojiao ran outside to cut two bamboos and came back to weave two bamboo boards.

Sun Ruhua asked her to eat, but seeing that Xie Jiaojiao was busy as soon as she came back, Sun Ruhua didn't know what to say, so she asked if there was anything she could help with.

Xie Jiaojiao thought about it and realized that she really didn't know how to weave the bamboo board, so she asked Sun Ruhua for help.

After lunch, Xie Zhiyi went to collect grass for the pigs at the old house, leaving Xie Jiaojiao and Sun Ruhua busy at home.

Xie Jiaojiao cut all the tofu and put them into the steamer. She counted the time while it was steaming and when she saw that the time was almost up, she quickly took it out.

Put clean straw on the bamboo chopsticks, and then put the tofu pieces on them neatly.

Sun Ruhua asked curiously, "What exactly are you doing?" She didn't understand.

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Fermented tofu!"

fermented bean curd?

Sun Ruhua didn't understand that all the tofu was steamed and cooked in just one afternoon.

Xie Jiaojiao found a cool and dry place, placed the bamboo chopsticks, and covered them with a layer of clean straw. She didn't know whether it could ferment well.

Sun Ruhua saw Xie Jiaojiao stop after she finished doing these things and asked again, "Is it done now?"

Xie Jiaojiao shook her head: "No, mother, this is just the first step, there are still several steps to come."

After that, Xie Jiaojiao said, "Mom, do we have a clay pot at home? It's like the pickle jar in your house."

Sun Ruhua nodded: "There are two more."

That's it!

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Mom, don't you want to see how much money we made today?"

When this was mentioned, Sun Ruhua immediately followed Xie Jiaojiao into the house and locked the door. Xie Jiaojiao found it funny to see Sun Ruhua being so mysterious.

Sun Ruhua poured the money she earned from selling brown sugar today onto the bed, which was full of copper coins and small change.

Sun Ruhua smiled happily: "I haven't seen so much silver in a long time."

In fact, when Sun Ruhua married Xie Zhen, her family was quite well-off. They had fields and land, and some money. But later they spent a lot of money on marrying their two sons. But that was not all. It was just that old Xie fell ill this year, which drained the family's savings. That's why her two sons had many complaints about her. At first, her two sons said they didn't want to see the doctor anymore, but she insisted on treating him.

Sun Ruhua was calculating the total amount, and Xie Jiaojiao roughly calculated in her mind how many kilograms she had sold today and had an idea in her mind.

The more Sun Ruhua counted, the happier her face looked. By the time she had finished counting everything, the corners of her mouth were almost smiling to her ears.

"Mother, how many are there?"

"Hahaha, almost ten taels of silver!"

Xie Jiaojiao nodded, it was pretty much what she expected.

Xie Jiaojiao was the first to give Sun Ruhua a shot of prevention: "Mom, I may have to spend some money to make fermented tofu."

Sun Ruhua nodded: "Okay, okay, but can your stuff really make money? I tell you, this tofu won't last long..."

"Don't worry, mom. I know what's going on. Just wait for the money to be paid!"

Sun Ruhua smiled helplessly and said nothing else. She packed up the change and kept some copper coins for normal use outside.

After finishing all this, Sun Ruhua looked outside and asked, "Why hasn't Zhiyi come back yet?"

When she said this, Xie Jiaojiao suddenly felt something was wrong. Yes, it was almost dark, why hadn't he come back yet?

Because it was time to dig sweet potatoes soon, Xie Zhiyi had been cutting sweet potato vines directly from his own field and sending them over during this period. How come he hasn't come back yet after being gone for so long?

Xie Jiaojiao felt a little uneasy: "Mom, I have to go to the old house to take a look, something must have happened!"

When she said this, Sun Ruhua frowned slightly: "That shouldn't be the case. Maybe he went to the village to play with Niu Er."

"Mom, just stay home. I'll go over. It's almost dark. Normally, even if he and Niu Er were playing, they wouldn't play this late."

When she said this, Sun Ruhua's heart was beating fast: "No, no, I'll go with you."

Xie Jiaojiao knew that Sun Ruhua was very disappointed with the old house. Normally, she would not mention the people there. She had a good relationship with Wang Po, but now she didn't visit there because she was afraid of seeing the people from the old house.

Xie Jiaojiao didn't say anything else. It would be better for Sun Ruhua to go with her. If anything happened, she at least had the identity of a mother, which would make things easier for her.

The two men hurriedly locked the door and walked towards the old house. Before they got close, they saw Niu Er running towards them.

Xie Jiaojiao shouted from a distance: "Niu Er, have you seen our Zhiyi?"

Niu Er ran to Xie Jiaojiao and the others, panting and saying, "Xie Xiaogu, go and save Zhiyi! He's almost been beaten to death by those people in your old house!"

what!

As soon as Niu Eryi finished speaking, Xie Jiaojiao and Sun Ruhua had already started running towards the old house.

The doors of the old house were closed, but Xie Zhiyi's crying could be heard outside, as he cried and shouted: Stop hitting me.

Xie Jiaojiao kicked the door open. What did she see?

She saw Xie Zhiyi lying on the ground, with Xie Zhili, Xie Zhishu, Xie Qian and Xie Kun standing beside him!

They all held bamboo sticks in their hands and hit Xie Zhiyi.

As soon as the door was opened, a group of people saw Xie Jiaojiao.

Xie Jiaojiao felt that the blood in her body was boiling!

He rushed over directly.

He pushed the few people away and hugged Xie Zhiyi who was on the ground.

When Sun Ruhua saw this scene, she rushed over, her blood boiling and she was furious.

"What have you done? How old is Zhiyi? How could you treat him so cruelly? He is your own brother!"

Xie Zhili pointed at Xie Zhiyi and said, "Mom, you don't know, this beast bumped into Cuihong today and almost caused her to have a miscarriage!"

what?

"Is my daughter-in-law pregnant?" Sun Ruhua asked.

Xie Zhili nodded: "That's right! But this brat actually dared to offend his second sister-in-law!"

"Mom, sister, I didn't. I was feeding the pigs. My second sister-in-law came to ask me what we bought in town today. I didn't tell her, and she pulled me to tell her. I broke free from her and ran away. Then she fell to the ground." Xie Zhiyi lay in Xie Jiaojiao's arms, his face covered with scars from being beaten with bamboo sticks. Tears were still on his face, and he sobbed softly.

Before Sun Ruhua could even look happy, she saw Xie Zhiyi's expression and didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

Xie Jiaojiao glared at Xie Zhili: "Is this what you meant by him bumping into your wife?"

"Isn't it? His sister-in-law asked him, so he just answered. Why is he running away?"

"What a joke! Who is his sister-in-law? Why should he answer? Don't forget that our two families have severed ties. He has no obligation to answer your questions! And what does what we bought have to do with you? I'll put it bluntly. When we meet in the future, we're just from the same village. Apart from this, we have nothing to do with each other!"

Xie Zhili snorted and said, "He almost caused his second sister-in-law to have a miscarriage!"

Xie Jiaojiao picked up Xie Zhiyi and handed him to Sun Ruhua.

"Where is Zhou Cuihong? Since she dared to frame our Zhiyi, if she didn't have a miscarriage, I will beat her to make her have a miscarriage!"
