Jiang Yao looked at Jiang Xuean's reaction and a smug smile appeared on her face.

She guessed correctly, Wei Chengye was indeed very intimidating.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Yao sent Wei Chengye to the door with a bright smile on her face, her eyes involuntarily falling on him.

It’s a pity that Wei Chengye still has to go into the mountains to hunt, and she can’t waste too much time here. She can only wait until the hunting is over before making other plans.

She turned around and first helped her sisters clean the room, and then she and Lu started cutting cloth and sewing clothes.

It's not that they are naked, but they don't have a decent set of clothes.

There was not enough light in the room, so Mrs. Lu took the two of them to the yard to sew clothes. They spent a whole morning to finally finish the new clothes and trousers.

Jiang Yao stayed in the courtyard for a while and heard the voice next to her. Her face changed.

Wei Chengye's family looks strange.

As she thought about this, an idea popped into her mind during her afternoon break.

From what I saw of Jiang Xue'an's expression in the afternoon, I knew that he was very afraid of Wei Chengye. Besides, he was tall and strong, and if they really came to a fight, Jiang Xue'an might not be able to defeat Wei Chengye.

It just so happened that Wei Chengye couldn't eat at the Wei family, so she could have a talk with him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yao deliberately stood at the door, waiting for the other party to arrive.

Jiang Yao saw Wei Chengye from a distance and her eyes lit up. Wei Chengye was tall and muscular, and Jiang Xuean would definitely be scared.

She looked at him casually and smiled, "Brother Wei, why have you been in the mountains for so long? It's getting late. It looks like you won't be able to have dinner tonight."

"It seems so." Wei Chengye replied indifferently, glancing at his room with a gloomy look.

In fact, he knew that it was definitely too late for him, and maybe there wouldn't be any food left for him at home.

This is how he went through his childhood, and over time, he no longer had any expectations for his family.

Perhaps, they have always considered themselves outsiders.

However, he couldn't say it directly in front of Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao put away her smile, winked at Wei Chengye, and spoke in a relaxed voice.

"Brother Wei, do you want to come to my house for dinner later? Our family just split up, and we still have to rely on you."

“This is just a small token of my appreciation.”

Wei Chengye's heart moved, but he did not agree.

After all, they are all women, life at home is not easy, and it is not easy to earn enough food. If he goes, he might even implicate them.

Jiang Yao had expected that Wei Chengye, who was so easy to talk to, would not agree so quickly, so she asked again.

“Well, we are separate from Jiang Xuean, but we still have some silver. I heard that Brother Wei can hunt, so why don’t you teach me how to hunt, and I’ll treat you when the time comes.

If Brother Wei doesn't agree, then forget it. But don't you want me to be your disciple, or are you afraid that teaching my disciple will starve me to death?"

This was not something Jiang Yao had a spur-of-the-moment idea, but Jiang Xue'an was such a bad person.

However, this time, she had the upper hand. If she waited for him to wake up and call for reinforcements, it would be troublesome.

At this time, it is Wei Chengye's turn to play a role.

I am somewhat useful, but you serve as my bodyguard and I will buy you food.

It was a fair deal and she didn't owe the other party anything.

Wei Chengye was stared at by Jiang Yao's eyes as bright as black grapes, and he suddenly felt like he was going to collapse.

The glimmer of hope that had just risen in his heart suddenly disappeared.

"No, I don't think so. But—"

As Wei Chengye spoke, he took out a copper coin from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Yao.

"I'll give you money for meals until I teach you."

Jiang Yao was startled by his action, but still smiled and picked up the copper coin.

After so many contacts, she roughly understood Wei Chengye's personality and didn't like to take advantage of others in distress, so she accepted his meal to reassure him. However, from now on, his meals must be well prepared.

We can't let them get away with it, right?

"It's a deal. Thank you, Brother Wei!" Jiang Yao got what she wanted and rushed home excitedly.

Looking at her cheerful expression, Wei Chengye couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

For dinner, he used the remaining fish to stew a grilled fish, cut some fresh shepherd's purse, and made an egg drop soup.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. After washing up and coming back, Jiang Yao found that both of her sisters were in a bad mood, so she didn't speculate and went straight to the point.

"What happened?"

The third sister looked at me, and I looked at you. Finally, Jiang Yue, the bravest one, stood up.

"Sister, there are so many dishes tonight, and we didn't make any money. I'm really worried that we won't have money to eat in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the girls lowered their heads at the same time, thinking that they were so useless, unable to earn any money for the family, and yet able to eat so much!

"Don't worry, mother and I have our own way."

Jiang Yao thought about it and wondered if there was any profitable business that could make money without spending any money.

There is a millstone in the yard. It is for them and has nothing to do with him. He can use it however he wants.

Maybe try getting some tofu to sell.

Now thinking back, what I bought on the street today were all old tofu. Not a single piece was soft, and even the old tofu tasted bad.

Once people have tasted it, they will never want to taste it again.

Just when Jiang Yao made up her mind, she happened to see Lu coming in to visit her two sisters.

She thought for a moment before saying, "Mom, I want to buy some tofu. Is there anyone selling soybeans around here?"

Mrs. Lu was a little surprised and asked, "Soybeans? What do you want them for?"

"I want to cook a pot of tofu. I've seen a method of making tofu in Jiang Xue'an's book, and I want to try it. If it doesn't work, we can find another way. It's far and inconvenient to buy it from the grain store, so it's better to pick it from the grain in the village."

There was one more thing Jiang Yao didn't say, which was that instead of letting the people in the grain shop make money, it would be better to let the villagers make money.

If they are bullied, they know which side they should stand on.

"Tofu?" Lu thought for a moment. This seemed like a feasible solution.

However, can this tofu be cooked?

Meeting Jiang Yao's sparkling gaze, Mrs. Lu thought for a moment and realized that it was just some soybeans. Since they were all separated, she might as well give it a try. There was no need to worry about wasting food.

However, soybeans are rarely eaten there, and eating too much can cause diarrhea, so few people grow them.

"Let me think about it." Lu pondered for a long time, then suddenly stood up, with a hint of excitement in her voice.

"How could I forget about Aunt Song! She has a lot of soybeans at home. I will send you to the Song family tomorrow, and ask Mrs. Song to sell the things."

"Well, thank you very much, mother." Jiang Yao responded and thought of Aunt Song.

Among the few people in the Lu family who took good care of the family on a daily basis, there was Aunt Song.

There were not many young and middle-aged people in the family, so Aunt Song took out a piece of land and planted soybeans. Soybeans were not worth much, but the harvest was good and they were not as delicate as rice. She sold all the soybeans in exchange for food.

But how many soybeans are left in Aunt Song’s hands?
