In the book, I was fed by my sister

"What's going on?" An angry shout interrupted the children who were playing. They turned their heads and saw their grandmother standing there with an angry face, her brows furrowed and her eyes wide open, as if she wanted to eat someone.

Fu Yuncai's heart sank. He glanced at his mother nervously, only to see that her face was also filled with shock.

Grandma pointed at my mother and said loudly, "What's wrong? You've been in the city for a month, and now you just want to play when you come back! What's wrong? Do you want me to cook for you? And what's wrong with the children's clothes on you?!"

Fu Yuncai's eyes widened, he couldn't believe his ears. Every time his father came back, didn't grandma always greet him with a smile? Why was grandma so different when it came to his mother? In the past, when his mother was at home, grandma complained that his mother ate more and did less, but now that his mother was working just as hard as his father, she still scolded his mother?

Li Qianhua's face also turned cold. She looked at her mother-in-law and said, "I bought new clothes for the children, and also for you and father-in-law. If mother doesn't like them, I will change the size and wear them myself." The fabrics she chose were all stain-resistant, and there was no age limit. It was just a matter of whether the waist fit well.

Ge Ruiyun opened her mouth and looked at Li Qianhua with a cold face. She was extremely shocked: Is this still her daughter-in-law? She dared to talk back!

Li Qianhua used to be very obedient. No matter what her mother-in-law said to her, she would never talk back. If her mother-in-law got angry, Li Qianhua would just stand there with her neck shrunk and listen.

At the dinner table, facing the cold faces of her parents-in-law, Li Qianhua turned a blind eye and ate with her children.

Fu Conghai felt that he was not respected by his daughter-in-law, so he picked up his pipe and knocked on the table twice, scaring the two younger children so much that they hid beside Li Qianhua.

"Dad, what are you doing? We are having a nice meal, but you have to make everyone unhappy? If we don't enjoy the meal properly, I will leave." Li Qianhua said coldly.

"How long have you been out? And already Wing has won!? You still want to turn the world upside down in our Fu family?" Fu Conghai asked angrily.

Li Qianhua sneered in her heart and thought: If she was really strong enough, she would have taken the four children away and left this home long ago.

"Dad and Mom, I don't understand, aren't I just buying some new clothes for the family? Look at what the children are wearing, big patches on top of small patches. And I prepared them for you, so why are you so angry?"

"Money should be saved, not spent today. My two grandchildren think they need to marry grandchildren-in-law, so they have to spend money carefully. Otherwise, they will be single in the future! How much money have you spent? Give me the rest." Fu Conghai shouted loudly.

Li Qianhua was so angry at his words that she was shaking, but she still suppressed her anger and said, "Their clothes are all tattered, I really can't bear to see them suffer like this. Besides, I didn't spend too much money to buy these fabrics, they are very cheap."

"Hmph, cheap? No matter how cheap it is, it's still a waste! You might as well buy more food with this spare money instead of spending it recklessly all day long." Fu Conghai said with his eyes wide open.

Li Qianhua took out a string of copper coins, counted out a hundred, and placed them on the table.

When Ge Ruiyun saw that there was only so little money, he immediately shouted, "Didn't you say it was cheap? These cloths cost nine hundred coins! How can you be so ignorant of how to live? I will go to the city with you tomorrow. You must have been cheated!"

Li Qianhua held back and explained calmly, "The shop only provides lunch and dinner, and I have to take care of two children, so I have to save some money for emergencies. And Awu only gives you 300 coins a month. I bought cloth this month, and starting next month, I will also give you 300 coins a month according to Awu's standard."

"That won't do!" Fu Conghai quickly objected.

"No, forget it. I'll just stay at home and do farm work."

Li Qianhua's words directly pinched Fu Conghai's lifeline. You know, these three hundred coins are not a small amount for ordinary farmers.

Ge Ruiyun glanced at the silent old man and said to Li Qianhua tentatively: "Only three hundred coins? How can that be enough? We still have to help you take care of the children!"

Li Qianhua sneered inwardly after hearing this. She asked back, "Is this child mine alone?"

Ge Ruiyun was speechless, but still said unwillingly: "Three hundred coins is too little anyway!"

Li Qianhua was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and said firmly: "Three hundred is three hundred, there is no more. If you are not satisfied, then I will just stay at home."

Seeing Li Qianhua's tough attitude, Ge Ruiyun had no choice but to compromise and said, "Okay, let's do this for now. But you have to pay us the two hundred coins we owe you this month next month."

Li Qianhua stood up and looked at the faces of her parents-in-law, and secretly swore in her heart that one day, she would take her four children and leave this suffocating home.

Su Xiaoxiao drove the donkey and saw thick smoke coming out of Song Ran's chimney, which made her realize that it was almost time for dinner. She patted the donkey happily and quickened her pace to go home. When she got home, Su Xiaoxiao tied up the donkey and shouted, "I'm back!"

Su Xiaoxiao wolfed down two pieces of bean curd cakes before she finally finished listening to everything Song Ran described.

"Of course!" Su Xiaoxiao said vaguely with a bean curd cake in her mouth, "When I went to the market today to buy goods, I did see two tofu shops. But..."

She suddenly stopped chewing, patted her chest, and hurriedly picked up the bowl to drink a big mouthful of soy milk, swallowing it down her throat with a gurgling sound. Then, she continued, "However, it takes a lot of money to open a tofu shop in the early stage. The mill, the donkey pulling the mill, and the rent of the shop all cost money. I'm afraid that Damai doesn't have that much money."

Hearing this, Da Mai's originally bright eyes suddenly dimmed.

Seeing this, Grandma Gu hurriedly said, "Xiaoxiao, can you estimate how much money it will cost? I have some savings that I can use to support you."

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Grandma Gu, but still shook her head to refuse. She knew that Grandma Gu's money was hard-earned, from the money she earned from handmade bamboo weaving and the allowance her grandson sent back from the battlefield, so she couldn't touch it carelessly.

She turned to look at Song Ran, a sly light flashed in her eyes, "Ran Ran, since you are so active in helping to speak up, why don't you take the lead and become the owner of this tofu shop."

"Me?" Song Ran pointed at her nose in surprise and stared at Su Xiaoxiao with wide eyes, with an expression of disbelief. She had never thought that she would become a boss, let alone run a tofu shop.

"Yes, we can't let Damai be the one." Su Xiaoxiao said directly. It is a problem for Damai to communicate with the outside world, and Damai's original intention was just to give the three sisters a place to stay.

"You see, making tofu is also a skill. Old tofu and tender tofu are completely different. Also, if you just open a tofu shop, you won't be competitive. There are already two in the city."

Song Ran looked at the tofu in the bowl and said thoughtfully, "You mean..."

As Su Xiaoxiao spoke, she picked up a piece of bean curd cake and put it into her mouth to chew. "Look at this bean curd cake, it's pretty good, and the tofu is delicious with the dipping sauce. If I buy tofu for the dipping sauce, your dipping sauce is delicious even for shoe soles. People will definitely want to eat it a second time after eating it. By the way! It would be great if you could sell dried tofu together."

"What is dried tofu?" Song Ran asked curiously.

"It's tofu that has been pressed with heavy objects to remove the water, and then cooked to make it tasty. Uh... I'm not sure. But dried tofu is delicious. If you can't afford meat, stir-frying it can also satisfy your craving. Ranran, what do you think?"

Song Ran listened to his description and imagined the delicious feeling. He couldn't help but feel excited. "Is it really that delicious?"

"Of course! You can try it. Your business will be good only if you have a unique selling point."

Song Ran said, "I'll think about it and give you an answer. Damai, don't worry. If I can't make dried tofu, we can open this tofu shop, but we have to plan it out in the early stages."

Su Xiaoxiao said cheerfully, "Okay, then wait for Boss Song to notify you at any time. I'll keep an eye on the location of the shop for you."
