An accident occurred, but it had nothing to do with the braised food?

Wan Shu immediately became interested: "So what exactly happened?"

Er Ya and the others also stared at Da Zhu with curiosity.

Dazhu didn't think it was anything to hide, so he told her about his chance encounter with Da Niu on the street.

"I ran into Da Niu while I was delivering goods today. Her face was as red as a monkey's bottom, and her mouth was like a monster that had just drunk blood. She kept hugging me and talking nonsense."

"As soon as I saw her like this, I knew she was sick. I wanted to take her to the clinic, but she refused to go in order to save money. Even when I offered to lend her money for treatment, she wouldn't go and just ran away."

“She’s so sick, and she’s not going to see a doctor. I don’t know if something bad will happen to her.”

Dazhu's tone revealed genuine concern.

Er Ya, Si Ya, and Wu Ping all looked worried after hearing this.

"Oh my god, Sister Da Niu is sick. I heard from the uncles and aunts in the village that Sister Da Niu's father often beats her. Maybe she got sick from being beaten."

"Sister Da Niu is so pitiful. She was beaten and got sick but doesn't even have money to see a doctor."

"Didn't Sister Da Niu sell a lot of crayfish recently? There's no reason why she wouldn't have money for medical treatment."

"I heard that Da Niu's mother had a miscarriage, and Da Niu wants to use the money from selling crayfish to help her mother recover, and she doesn't want to spend it on herself."

The three little ones became more and more sympathetic towards Li Danu as they talked.

Wan Shu, however, sensed something unusual about it.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Dazhu, you said that Daniu kept hugging you and talking nonsense. What kind of nonsense was she talking about?"

Li Daniu's ramblings today were quite ambiguous.

However, since it was just nonsense uttered when he was sick, it shouldn't be taken seriously. Dazhu should confess honestly.

"She hugged me, saying that it was fate that we met today, and that I was strong and bumped into her, which hurt her a lot. Her tone of voice was also very strange, like someone was choking her, her voice was high-pitched and thin."

Wan Shu was drinking water when she heard Da Zhu's last description and almost burst out laughing.

If she wasn't mistaken, Da Niu's encounter with Da Zhu today wasn't a genuine coincidence, but rather a premeditated seduction.

Makeup, throwing herself at him, and using exaggerated vocal techniques are all ways Da Niu seduces Da Zhu.

Although Wan Shu had never seen Da Niu after she put on makeup, judging from Da Niu's pretty appearance, she must be very beautiful after makeup.

Such a beautiful young woman, throwing herself into my arms and speaking sweetly and coquettishly, if it were any other man, he probably would have lost control long ago.

Unfortunately, her husband, Dazhu, is a complete simpleton and has absolutely no sense of romance.

Not only did they fail to see that Da Niu was deliberately seducing them, they also said that Da Niu's face with rouge looked like a monkey's butt, and that Da Niu's voice sounded like someone was choking her.

In the end, he even insisted on taking his daughter to the clinic for treatment.

Even without seeing the scene, Wan Shu could imagine the speechless state of Da Niu at that moment.

The first time she tried to seduce someone, she ended up in such an embarrassing situation. I imagine the girl must have felt speechless and quite frustrated.

However, Wan Shu showed her no sympathy whatsoever.

Because it's obvious that whether it was the previous deliberate leak or this deliberate seduction, Da Niu's goal was to help the Li family obtain the braised food recipe from them.

Wan Shu had considered that the Li family might use some underhanded means to obtain the braised food recipe, but she never expected them to be so cunning as to send a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl to seduce him.

Fortunately, although this method is insidious, it is not difficult to counter.

Wan Shu concealed the smile and other emotions in her eyes, and also put on a worried look.

"Oh dear, Dazhu, from what you're saying, Da Niu seems to be really sick. We're all from the same village, so next time you see her, you must persuade her to go to the clinic. It wouldn't be good if she got worse."

Dazhu always obeyed Wanshu's every word, and upon hearing this, he immediately nodded seriously.

"Okay! Next time I see her, I'll definitely persuade her to see a doctor!"

Wan Shu felt relieved and smiled, "Alright, don't just stand here, go get to work. I'll stew a pot of braised pork bones for you all for lunch today!"

After buying pig offal from a butcher in the county town for a long time, the butcher also learned that Wan Shu's family loved to eat stewed pork bones.

In order to keep Wan Shu as a big customer, the butcher would give them some bones whenever they bought a lot.

Today, Dazhu bought four sets of pig offal weighing 125 jin (approximately 62.5 kg), which is the largest amount of pig offal they have ever ordered in all the time they have been selling braised food.

When the butcher received the money, he was so happy that his eyes were practically popping out of his head. With a wave of his hand, he gave them two big bones and two big pig trotters.

Braised pork bones and trotters together, with some dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots added, it's incredibly delicious!

The little rascals were practically drooling just thinking about it.

Without further ado, he ran to the yard to wash the pig offal, while Wan Shu was at the stove burning the skin off the pig's trotters.

Only by burning the skin can the fishy smell of pig's trotters be completely removed.

Since hearing what Da Zhu said, San Shun had been somewhat absent-minded. Seeing Wan Shu roasting pig's trotters by the stove, she couldn't resist any longer and made up an excuse to sneak over to Wan Shu's side.

As he helped Wan Shu burn another pig's trotter to death, he lowered his voice and whispered to Wan Shu.

"Mother, I feel something's wrong with Li Daniu. The things she did today seem like she was deliberately trying to seduce Big Brother!"

Wan Shu had always thought San Shun was a smart kid, but she never expected him to be so perceptive about matters between men and women.

She originally thought that the kids were still young and it wasn't appropriate to tell them too much about the ins and outs.

However, seeing how precocious Sam-soon was and how worried she looked, he decided not to hide it any longer.

She nodded and replied, "Mother knows, don't worry."

This time, it was San-shun who was surprised: "Mother, since you knew, why didn't you remind my brother to stay away from Li Daniu? Why did you specifically ask him to persuade Li Daniu to see a doctor?"

"You wouldn't understand," Wan Shu said, soaking the cooked pig's trotters in water with a mysterious smile. "Straight men are the bane of green tea."

Sam-soon looked completely bewildered: "What's a straight man? And what's a green tea b*tch?"

This kind of modern terminology couldn't be clearly explained in ancient times. Wan Shu simply said, "It roughly means that Dazhu's current confused state is the best way to resist Li Daniu's seduction."

Sam-soon scratched his head, still completely bewildered.

Wan Shu sighed and could only say, "If you are really worried about Dazhu, you can go to the Li family to find out what's going on. Li Daniu failed to seduce him today, so the Li family must be quite lively right now."

Sam-soon was indeed worried, so she took this opportunity to quietly go to the Lee family's house.

As soon as he stepped into the corner of the Li family's house, he heard screams coming from the courtyard.

"No, please stop hitting my mother!"
