The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.

Chapter 40 Fate

"It's not good to see you." Wen glanced at Bai San and said, "I heard this girl say yesterday afternoon that she had negotiated with someone to help them deliver tofu to the town with a bullock cart. I thought it was someone else, but it turned out to be you."

"This can only be called fate, fate..."

Bai San had a forced smile on his face, but he felt bitter inside.

Knowing that the Zhuang Qingning sister was from Enji Village, he immediately thought of Wen's Tofu Shop and wondered if Zhuang Qingning had any connection with the Wen family.

But looking at the Zhuang Qingning sister, both of them are very kind and easy to talk to, friendly and good-tempered, he felt that they would never have anything to do with Wen, who always spoke with a sharp tongue, so he thought it was okay.

I never thought that after checking it out today, I found out that it is really related to the Wen family, and the relationship is quite significant.

This made Bai San very depressed, and he felt that he would definitely have to smile stiffly today.

"I dare not have anything to do with you, or I'll be unlucky and unlucky." Mrs. Wen rolled her eyes again and went to sweep the yard with a broom.

It seemed that he didn't want to say another word to Bai San.

Seeing this, Bai San chanted "Amitabha" and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he hurriedly helped Zhuang Qingning move the tofu onto the cart, drove the cows, and left in a hurry.

When the ox cart drove away from Enji Village, Bai San breathed a sigh of relief again.

Zhuang Qingning was very curious about the fact that Bai San and Aunt Wen knew each other and that they seemed to have celebrated something, but since the other party didn't say anything, she didn't ask. However, Zhuang Qingsui was young and couldn't keep things to herself, so she couldn't help but speak.

"Uncle Bai, do you know Aunt Wen?"

"It's more than just acquaintance." Bai San was caught off guard when he met Wen just now. Thinking of the past, he felt very suffocated at the moment. He wanted to say something but was afraid that the two sisters would think he was talkative and nagging, so he didn't say anything.

Now that Zhuang Qingsui asked him, he told the whole story clearly.

This happened many years ago. Bai San used to work in the town as a bricklayer. He would get up early in the morning and drive to the town and come back in the evening.

That day, Bai San was driving his ox cart to the town as usual. He was too tired and didn't get enough sleep in the past few days. In addition, it was still dark in the morning and his vision was poor. In short, it was very unfortunate that his ox cart collided with Wen's ox cart. Wen's ox was frightened and ran forward like crazy, crashing into a large tung tree not far away and dying.

Bai San felt that he was in the wrong, so he was willing to pay for the cow, as well as the money for the basket of tofu on Wen's cart. But Wen would not agree to anything he said. She said that she couldn't find a suitable cow to buy at the moment, and that it would really affect her tofu business, and that she and her widow could not survive. So she only asked Bai San to pay for the cow and carry her tofu to the town every day so that she would not be delayed in selling the tofu.

After all, it was someone else's cow that was hit and killed. Bai San felt sorry for Wen. When he heard that Wen was an orphan and a widow, he felt even more guilty, so he agreed to help her deliver tofu every morning.

But after a few days, Bai San found that Wen had a bad temper. She would question and scold anyone who didn't do what she wanted. If someone dared to give her less money for tofu, she would chase them down two blocks to get it back. She would quarrel with people in the town, spitting everywhere and saying different things...

Bai San felt that he had provoked a plague god, so he just wanted to give more money to Wen Shi to get rid of her. However, Wen Shi refused to give in, saying that it was because Bai San had done something wrong that he could do his best without any negligence. If he used the money to hire a car, it would definitely not be a satisfactory one. If Bai San refused, she would say that he was flirting with her...

Bai San was so scared of Wen that he could only listen to her and do what she said. It was not until Wen bought a new cow that she liked that he felt relieved. He then thought about never meeting Wen again.

Unexpectedly, I met him again, and it was because of transporting tofu to the town.

Bai San felt that, perhaps because of his surname, he had a special affinity with tofu.

"It's been a long time since this happened. I feel a little nervous when I run into her again." Bai San said. He was afraid that Zhuang Qingning would worry that he felt wronged and would not let him bother her anymore, so he laughed and said, "But you two don't have to worry about it. After all, it happened many years ago. I have paid back what I owed, and I don't owe Sister Wen anything. She has always had that temper, so I'll just say a few words."

It wouldn't hurt to be criticized, but if I helped Zhuang Qingning transport the tofu, I would have tofu to eat at noon.

Bai Sanfen knew very well which was more important.

"That's a coincidence. We are used to being talked about by Uncle Wen all the time, so now we have company." Zhuang Qingsui chuckled.

The child's witty remarks made Bai San and Zhuang Qingning laugh out loud, and they thought it was quite a funny thing.

They arrived at the town and placed Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui at the place where tofu was usually sold. Bai San drove the ox cart, took the big piece of tofu he bought, and went happily to his work place.

Seeing that the basket was much fuller today than usual, Liu laughed and said, "You are willing to grind a little more, but it's not much. I'm afraid it's still not enough."

"It's just that it's not enough. It's good to have people thinking about it." Zhuang Qingning smiled and blinked.

Liu immediately understood what she meant and smiled: "That's what happened."

The sun gradually rose higher and people came and went on the street. The tofu business was as good as usual, with people coming and going in an endless stream.

Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui were smiling as they greeted the people who came to buy tofu. They were so busy that sweat appeared on their foreheads, but they didn't even have time to wipe it off.

Li Fang over there wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It’s not because of the tiredness from work or the heat, but because of fear.

Ever since that day when someone overturned a table in Fushun Building, Feng Yongkang has been trying to find out why the taste of the braised tofu was different that day. Chef Zhang has also been in a bad mood since then. However, the two of them have been searching for several days without any results.

Ma Tong did not report him behind his back. Li Fang was grateful and thought that no one else saw him taking the tofu to the kitchen that day. If the matter was investigated in Fushunlou, it would never be traced to him.

But truth will come to light sooner or later. There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. There is no guarantee that Ma Tong will let the cat out of the bag someday. And seeing that the tofu stall business of that dead girl on the street is getting better and better, I am afraid that more and more people are buying this tofu there, and more and more people have tasted the tofu.

If Feng Yongkang or Chef Zhang tasted it one day...

This Fu Shun Building is likely to be in turmoil, and his job is completely over.

Li Fang couldn't help but shiver, and his face looked very ugly.

"What's wrong? Why are you so pale and sweating?" Ma Tong took the broom and was cleaning the door.
