A noble嫡女 (legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official) is framed and falls to the borderlands, losing her memory and becoming a farmer's wife. Su Nanxi arrives with a space (a mystical ...
Mo Wenying looked at Mo Qinghe with a mixture of nervousness and excitement.
Mo Qinghe didn't answer immediately. He looked at Su Nanxi, who thought for a while and then started drawing on his palm again.
"Now that you've thought it through, mute girl, think it over carefully and I'll tell you tomorrow."
Mo Qinghe spoke calmly as always.
When Mo Wenying heard that Su Nanxi was willing to help, she said excitedly, "It's alright, take your time! I can wait!"
We have to wait, even if we can't!
Not everyone has the opportunity to make money!
If we can't continue the breakfast business, we can do something else that's easier to make money!
It's all about making money, and there's no rule that says you have to do one of them!
Her mother-in-law said before she came that it doesn't matter what, as long as there's money to be made!
She didn't quite understand at the time, but now she does. Her mother-in-law was thinking further ahead, while she was ultimately a bit willful and took things for granted, which is why she was sad.
Seeing this, the rest of the Mo family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, the mute woman was willing to help find a solution, averting a major family conflict.
After that, the atmosphere improved a lot, everyone relaxed considerably, and they ate quite a bit.
After washing up, Su Nanxi lay down. Mo Qinghe knew she was thinking about something, so he didn't go over to disturb her. He also lay down quietly next to her.
Su Nanxi was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice Mo Qinghe and fell asleep while thinking.
Mo Qinghe: ...
Why did his wife go to sleep without saying a word to him?
I feel a little wronged, like my wife is ignoring me!
Since Su Nanxi was able to speak, the two of them would chat for a while every night. Naturally, Mo Qinghe did most of the talking, while Su Nanxi would just say a few words concisely, or listen to Mo Qinghe and respond with "uh-huh" or "oh".
Mo Qinghe didn't think his wife's voice was unpleasant. He knew her throat might be injured and needed time to heal. He used to think his wife was truly unable to speak, but now that she could, there was hope. He just had to be patient; once she recovered, wouldn't she be able to speak beautifully?
Aren't his legs the same?
It's good to have hope. Don't give up, take it slow!
Before dawn, the Mo family was busy as usual.
Mo Wenying was a light sleeper. She woke up at the sound of some noise, opened her eyes and looked outside. There were lights on, and she suddenly realized that the Mo family had gotten up to make breakfast.
She jumped up, eager to know how the Mo family made breakfast.
When the Mo family saw that she had gotten up, they all told Mo Wenying to go back to sleep, saying it was still early and dawn hadn't broken yet.
Mo Wenying was determined to see what was going on. She said she couldn't sleep and felt uneasy lying down, so she came out to see if there was anything she could do to help.
The Mo family members all understood that she wouldn't be satisfied without seeing her, so they didn't try to persuade her further and let her be.
Mo Wenying didn't know how to do anything, so she could only stand there blankly watching. After watching for a long time, she thought she knew how to do it, so she tried to do it. As a result, she could understand it at first glance, but she failed miserably as soon as she tried to learn it!
Seeing how easily and simply others do it, I thought it was really easy to learn.
I made a few, but none of them turned out well, so I didn't dare to make any more.
Seeing how quickly and beautifully Zhao and Qin were doing their work, and even her own mother was doing just as well, Mo Wenying felt a little inferior.
Qin noticed this, but continued working, her tone relaxed, "We have a lot to do every day, so we have to be fast. The more we practice, the faster and better we can do it! At first, we also found it quite difficult. Our hands wouldn't obey us. We could see everything, but our hands just wouldn't! Haha! We were so clumsy!"
"Really?" Mo Wenying blurted out.
Zhao chimed in, "Isn't that right? We've never done this before, we're just starting out, just like you are now. Your second brother's is even uglier than yours! Hahaha, it's a complete mess! Practice makes perfect, your second brother has practiced a lot and is doing very well now. These kinds of jobs all require practice, you can only do fancy things once you're familiar with them!"
Seeing that her second brother was even worse than her, Mo Wenying felt a little better. Thinking about it, she realized that it made sense. If she did it every day, she would definitely be able to do it quickly and well.
When the steamed buns were ready, Mo Wenying took one and ate it, tears streaming down her face.
The Mo family thought she had burned herself and told her to blow on it to cool it down before eating.
Mo Wenying nodded, but she wasn't burned; she was so happy to cry from how delicious it was!
She had never eaten such delicious steamed buns before—soft, sweet, and fragrant, and they were still hot meat buns! So delicious!
She even wanted to stay at her parents' home and not go back. She could eat delicious food every day, so who would want to go back to drink thin porridge and wild vegetables!
But just think about it; she'll eventually have to go back.
Su Nanxi also made soy milk and some soy cakes with the soy pulp.
After the children got up, they washed up in an orderly manner and then ate breakfast.
After waking her three daughters up, Mo Wenying wiped her face and went to have breakfast.
The three daughters smelled the aroma from afar and immediately ran over, abandoning their mother.
Mo Wenying noticed that each child had a bowl of yellow water next to them. She wanted to ask about it, but everyone was busy eating breakfast and no one paid attention to her, so she swallowed her question.
She took a sip herself, found it fragrant and delicious, and didn't want to ask any more questions.
After breakfast, the Mo family went about their usual business.
Of course, except for Su Nanxi.
Su Nanxi stayed behind to teach Mo Wenying how to make liangpi (cold skin noodles) and liangmian (cold noodles).
She didn't speak, while Mo Qinghe occasionally offered a few words of explanation from the side.
Mo Wenying was completely bewildered when she first saw it; she couldn't connect the dots at all and just moved on after watching it.
Once it's cooked and you take a bite, it's so fragrant and delicious!
Mo Qinghe ate his liangpi (cold skin noodles) and said casually, “This is very appetizing in the summer. You can make money making this. This is called liangpi, and the key to its deliciousness lies in the recipe for the sauce. If you really want to do business, this is a great option. You can go ahead and do it! You can learn it first, and then teach others when you get back. But you must keep the recipe for the sauce to yourself. You can’t even tell your husband. Study hard at home and practice a lot. Your mute mother can’t teach you for very long, at most a day.”
Mo Wenying nodded blankly, but then asked, puzzled, "Why can't you tell my husband?"
Mo Qinghe looked at her like she was an idiot. "Do you think you'll still have any value if your in-laws have everything under control? Don't let the Chen family make money while you're kicked to the side, and your three daughters get dragged down with them. They can easily claim it's a family heirloom of the Chen family. You need to be careful. You can't be too careful. People's hearts are most fickle when it comes to profit. You know what kind of people your in-laws are."
Mo Wenying suddenly realized that her mother-in-law and husband were not good people. They both wanted another son because the Chen family had only had one son for three generations and they wanted more children and grandchildren. However, she had given birth to three daughters and had not taken good care of herself during her postpartum period, so her health was poor and she could hardly get pregnant again, which could not satisfy them.
If the Chen family becomes rich, there's no guarantee they won't kick her to the curb and find a woman who can bear a son!
The more Mo Wenying thought about it, the colder she felt. She had gained nothing from marrying into the Chen family. She had given so much, but no one had ever recognized it. Instead, they always made many demands on her.
It's like she married into the Chen family just to serve them. It's infuriating!
"Okay! I'll study hard and make sure I have all these recipes in my own hands!"
