Overworked employee Su Ying died from continuous overtime and transmigrated to the second year of Zhenguan in the Great Tang dynasty. She became Su Ying, the eldest daughter of Su Buchang, the Chan...
Chapter 98: The toad lies on your feet, it doesn’t bite you but it makes you feel uncomfortable
After dinner, Su Ying scooped some chestnut powder and added honey to make a dough.
"Sister, are you making chestnut cake?" Xiao Tao smelled the fragrance of honey and chestnuts, which was the same as the chestnut cake in Chang'an City.
"Little greedy cat!" Su Ying scratched her sister's nose, "You have a really good nose!"
"Sister!" "Sister!" Zhao Yan and Bing Yan hurried over upon hearing this, "Is it really chestnut cake?"
"Yes!" Su Ying smiled, "Everyone has worked hard, I'll make some chestnut cakes as a reward for everyone!"
"Oh, let's eat chestnut cake! Let's eat chestnut cake!" the children cheered.
Su Ying felt bad that she had eaten good food at the village chief's house these past two days, but her family only had vegetable porridge.
Gao was not the kind of person who didn't understand the ways of the world, so she asked Hu Zi to bring over a bowl of meat.
I feel sorry for my younger brother and sister who have to suffer at such a young age, so I made some chestnut cakes to sweeten everyone's mouths and hearts.
Children are very simple and can be happy for several days with a little delicious food.
"Ah! It smells so good!" Zhao Yan and Bing Yan smelled the honey and drooled.
Yesterday, County Magistrate Hu and his family were treated to honey water, but the Su family did not receive this treatment.
Although the children wanted to drink, they were well-behaved and sensible. They swallowed their saliva and did not make a fuss.
"Do you want to drink?" Su Ying asked.
"Yes!" Several children nodded in unison.
Even Su Lu and the young boys looked over eagerly.
If people do not eat sweets for a long time, their bodies will feel uncomfortable. It is an instinct and the body needs appropriate sugar.
"Mother, please add some honey water for everyone to drink!" Su Ying said to Mrs. Du.
"Aren't you making chestnut cakes? Be frugal!" Mrs. Du was reluctant.
You can’t have a meal and then burst the rice bucket when you’re broke!
"Mom, everyone is tired these days, so just drink some! There will be plenty of honey in the future!" Su Ying advised with a smile.
"You don't even know if your plan will work out, yet you're already cooking a feast at home. Who knows..." Mrs. Du was unmoved.
Beekeeping is a good thing, but we haven’t seen any results yet. Honey is very precious and needs to be saved for emergencies.
"Fairy, it's okay, let's all have a drink! I want to drink too." Su Bucheng interrupted his wife.
You don’t have to drink it at home, but there are so many people in my two younger brothers’ families, including several children. They’ve worked hard all day, so they deserve to drink some honey water.
Mrs. Du looked at her husband and said nothing more. She went into the house, took out two spoonfuls of honey, and mixed it into a large jar.
Everyone held the honey water and drank it in small sips.
The refreshing scent of honey lingers at the tip of your nose, and the sweetness spreads from your lips to your heart.
The old lady added two more drops of honey to her bowl, making it sweeter.
Xiao Qinshi was holding the bamboo bowl, feeling very conflicted.
This honey water smells so good that she wants to drink it in one gulp. However, Su He has spit in it. Even though she is her biological daughter, it feels disgusting to drink her saliva.
Su He didn't care. It was his saliva anyway, so he drank it all in one breath.
She smacked her lips, feeling something was wrong! This wasn't the taste of honey she had drunk that night!
It was sweet, but the honey I had that night didn’t have this fragrance! Did I remember it wrong?
Su He looked at everyone in confusion. They all looked calm, talking and laughing as they drank in small sips. They looked reluctant and didn't seem disgusted at all.
Thinking back to yesterday when I placed the beehive, I saw with my own eyes that Su Ying applied a lot of honey. The honey for that night was almost used up.
But just now, Du took out a big tube. What happened? Did it fall from the sky?
Wait, the porridge yesterday morning was sweet! She seemed to remember glimpsing a beehive, but she had just woken up and didn't pay much attention.
While we were eating, the beehive disappeared and I thought I was seeing things.
It seems that the honey in Mrs. Du's hand was not the one she spitted on.
No wonder no one dislikes it at all!
When did the honey appear in the Su family? I have always been in the Su family, how could I not know?
Su He suddenly felt that the Su family was full of mystery, and there were secrets that she didn't know about! There must be something hidden!
Su He felt a surge of anger and hatred in his heart. He felt excluded and that some things were beyond his control.
"Mom! This is not the honey from that night!" Su He whispered.
"?" Xiao Qin looked at her daughter, just to coax her to drink some water? This damn girl is so heartless!
"The Su family should have gotten honey again. Do you remember the porridge yesterday morning?" Su He reminded.
Xiao Qin thought about it and realized, yes, that porridge is sweet, isn’t that what it tastes like?
The Su family has never been so generous. They were reluctant to give Su He the honey he had spit out.
It's really not right to let everyone drink so openly at this moment!
"Mother, don't you think there's something strange here? Where does this honey come from? And Su Ying has never raised bees before, so how come she suddenly started raising bees?"
When Su He said this, his eyes were red and his face was distorted and hideous.
I hate Su Ying the most because she knows everything. She knows everything from astronomy to geography. It seems like there is nothing in the world that she doesn't know! She is so capable! She wants to go to heaven!
Su He wished he could tear Su Ying into pieces and make her disappear immediately!
"Shh, don't make a sound! Let's investigate quietly. I want to see what strange things the Su family has hidden!" Xiao Qin said hatefully.
I have only suffered hardships in the Su family. Just after being divorced, good things suddenly appeared in the Su family. It can't be such a coincidence!
Since the Su family wronged me first, then the Su family won’t have an easy time either!
"The chestnut cake is ready, come and try it!" Su Ying clapped her hands.
"Sister, sister!" The three little ones came over first, their little mouths sweet.
"Here, this is for grandma!" Su Ying took a bowl and filled it with three and handed it to Bingyan.
Su Bangyan brought the food to the old lady. The old lady took the bowl and saw three ugly-looking flattened meatballs in it.
Is this chestnut cake? The old lady's mouth twitched, and she tried hard not to laugh.
Take one and take a bite, it has a crunchy texture and is fragrant and sweet.
Well, it looks ugly, but tastes good!
"Wow! Sister, it's so delicious!" The three little guys stayed beside Su Ying and ate one bite at a time, just like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit.
The adults stopped after tasting one, and the teenagers did the same. Seeing that their younger brothers and sisters liked it, they stopped eating.
Seeing Xiaotao, Zhaoyan and Bingyan eating happily, the people watching also felt happy.
Xiao Qin was full of fighting spirit and drank all the honey water in one breath.
Although the honey was sweet, Xiao Qin felt a bitter taste in her throat and was angry in her heart.
Seeing that there were quite a few chestnut cakes in the basin, Xiao Qin grabbed a few without hesitation, and Su He followed suit.
With her mother leading the way, she was not afraid at all, and even raised her eyebrows at Su Ying provocatively.
The happy smiles of the children froze.
"Oh!" Su Ying sighed silently in her heart. She still underestimated the extent to which this mother and daughter would seek their own death. They were here to cause trouble again.
People obviously hate dogs, so why don’t they stop?
Don’t try to guess what a brainless person is thinking. You’ll never understand it no matter how hard you try!
It seems that we need to build a house as soon as possible and separate the mother and daughter to live separately. It's like a toad sitting on your feet, it doesn't bite you but it annoys you.
"Come, take it!" Su Ying divided the remaining chestnut cakes and gave the last one to Su Lu.
