Chapter 133 I will tear you into pieces

Su Nuan was stunned. Was he angry? But she hadn't offended him.

It is said that no one knows a child better than his mother. Xue immediately smiled and said, "Cang'er, you should help me when the time comes. Everyone has work to do. Don't think you can be lazy. No one can be idle."

As she spoke, she put the bowl back in Ling Cang's hand and said, "Eat more, so you'll have the strength to work when the time comes."

Ling Cang glanced at his mother, and his frown relaxed. "Mom, I get it. I won't be lazy."

Su Nuan realized later that something was wrong. Ling Cang thought he was a useless person and was angry with him because he couldn't help him.

Su Nuan smiled and said, "That's right. I'll find you some work later. Only you can do this. We can't do it."

Ling Cang was shocked and looked at Su Nuan with burning eyes, "Okay."

Everyone quickly finished their meal. Su Nuan took out a bag of mung beans and soybeans. "Here, help me pick out the ones that are full and not damaged. I want to make bean sprouts."

"Ah?" Ling Cang was dumbfounded. The only job he had to do was to pick beans?

Su Nuan said very seriously: "You have a good eye, you must be able to select faster than us. This matter is urgent, otherwise we will not be able to make money before the New Year."

In fact, there is a faster way, which is water immersion, but now we have to find something for Ling Cang to do, so we let him do it.

Seeing her serious expression, Ling Cang also became serious and nodded, "Okay, I understand. Leave it to me."

Su Nuan nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked out to find suitable tools.

I have seen bean sprouts in my previous life, but they have not appeared yet. At that time, they were called golden silk and silver rolls, and peanut sprouts were called rich and noble flowers. However, peanuts have not been cultivated on a large scale yet and are considered foreign seeds.

Fortunately, I planted a lot of them in the space, so it’s okay to use some now.

She cleaned the big tank that originally held the fish and placed a basket inside to allow air and water to flow through so that the bean sprouts would not rot.

I found a clay pot for the peanut sprouts. After all, peanut sprouts need to grow upwards, and they can only be planted in one layer.

As for the new oils she mentioned, one was peanut oil and the other was sesame oil. She found the tools and started frying peanuts.

Xue came over to help light the fire.

As she controlled the heat, she said, "I didn't expect people here to have peanuts. They're a rare commodity."

"Only married people would buy some, it has a good meaning."

Su Nuan smiled and said, "We'll plant some ourselves in the spring. But this requires sandy soil, and I don't know if there's any here."

Xue nodded, "Well, this thing tastes weird when eaten raw, but it's very fragrant when cooked."

The two chatted while working. After the peanuts were cooked, they dried them and peeled them. The peanut skins were not wasted and were collected to make tea.

Su Nuan used a small grinding wheel to grind the peanuts, put them in a basin, added water and rubbed them.

After it became a paste, Su Nuan started to beat the peanut paste with a spoon. Soon, reddish oil appeared on the surface of the water.

Xue kept sniffing, "It smells so good, is it used for cooking?"

Su Nuan shook her head, "It's so tiring to make cold dishes with this."

Xue smiled and said, "Let Cang'er fight. He's fine anyway. If you don't give him something to do, he'll probably get sulky."

Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, I know. Then let him make it. This thing is very precious and most people can't afford it."

Xue nodded. "That's right. Peanuts are precious, not to mention the oil made from peanuts."

Su Nuan smiled and said, "And sesame oil. With these two kinds of oil, it will taste even better when you eat hot pot."

Xue swallowed and slapped her forehead, "Look at me, I'm still so greedy at my age."

After a pause, she continued, "When do we eat?"

Su Nuan couldn't help but chuckled, "I'm going to the mountains tomorrow to take a look and find some medicinal herbs. I can treat my husband after the New Year. Let him stretch his muscles before the New Year."

Xue nodded, "Okay, be careful."

Su Nuan remembered something and handed the spoon to Xue, "Mom, you fight for a while, I'll go do something."

"Okay." Xue nodded without asking anything.

Su Nuan went out and saw Ling Yun and Xiao Tian busy in the yard. She asked, "Who of you can use internal energy to accurately break bones?"

Ling Yun immediately thought of treating his elder brother's leg, so he said, "I can."

Su Nuan's face showed joy, but it soon faded away again, "But you are leaving."

Ling Yun said: "If I don't leave before the New Year, I will leave after the New Year."

Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, it's okay, you guys can continue chopping wood."

Seeing Su Nuan about to enter the house, Ling Yun said, "I'll chop some more wood before I leave."

Su Nuan thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, after the New Year, I'll find a way to exempt me from this labor."

Ling Yun nodded slightly. He had no doubt in his heart that this statement would not come true. It seemed that since he met Su Nuan, he could do anything she wanted to do.

Xiaotian was not convinced and said, "I can do it too."

Su Nuan looked back at him and said, "They are brothers. Whether it goes well or not is their business."

"You are an outsider. If you make a mistake, you will be blamed or even resentful. Why bother?"

"People don't have to show off their abilities; hiding one's weaknesses is a virtue."

Xiaotian was stunned. "Hide...hide your incompetence?"

Su Nuan simply turned around and looked at him, "For example, given your upbringing, you must have a lot of brothers. You can usually hide your shortcomings, and even if you suppress them, there shouldn't be a noticeable gap."

"If you suppress them in every way, they will feel that they can't surpass you in academics or martial arts with normal efforts, and then they will use insidious tactics."

"Don't tell me you were defeated by them using legitimate means."

Xiaotian's face showed an awkward expression, and he finally shook his head. "So that's how it is. I did do something wrong, but no one taught me this. They just pushed me forward."

Su Nuan pondered, realizing that she had to pay the price of her life to figure out many things.

She smiled and said, "It's okay. You're still alive. As long as you're alive, you can start from scratch. When you're fully grown, you can fight back and take back everything that belongs to you."

Xiaotian was inspired and said, "Nod vigorously. I will learn from you."

Su Nuan wanted to retort, "Learn from me? What to learn? I haven't even figured out how to live my own life."

The space spirit said, "I have some books on strategy and military tactics that I can show him."

Su Nuan Anan responded, "Okay, don't worry about it."

After hearing what the space spirit said, she did not refute and nodded to Xiaotian.

Xiaotian watched Su Nuan go into the house. He now felt that he had met a good teacher and friend. He must learn well and try to fight back as soon as possible.

Seeing Xiaotian looking at the door and laughing, Ling Yun said sinisterly, "Don't let me find out that you have any bad intentions towards my sister-in-law, or I will tear you into pieces."

Xiaotian glanced sideways. He didn't take Lingyun seriously at all and just lowered his head to chop wood.

Ling Yun clenched his fists and could only vent his anger on the firewood. For a while, the yard was filled with the clanging sound of chopping wood.
