Chapter 120 The Path She Chose
Shen Yueyao looked at Su Xueyi's expression and wondered if Su Xueyi knew something.
Shen Yueyao said, "Don't worry. I'll have Fourth Brother arrange for people to keep an eye on you. Your leg hasn't fully healed yet, so we won't tell anyone else. Once your leg is healed and you can go out, be careful."
There are some things that Su Xueyi will naturally say if she wants to, and if she doesn't want to say it, Shen Yueyao won't ask too much.
Because everyone has things they want to say, and things they are not convenient to say.
Shen Yueyao said: "I bought duck heads and duck necks, and will make braised duck heads and duck necks to eat in the evening."
Su Xueyi asked, "What can I do for you?"
Shen Yueyao shook her head and said, "No need, just take a good rest. It's not a big deal to stew this."
Having said that, Shen Yueyao began to get busy.
She first prepared seasonings such as salt, ginger, star anise and cinnamon.
Prepare everything first and clean the duck head and neck.
Then heat up the pan, add oil and stir-fry ginger, garlic, dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, etc., then add star anise, cinnamon and other spices and seasonings to make the marinade.
Pour the brine into the pot and boil.
Su Erya was watching from the side and thought that the marinade made by her third aunt was very fragrant.
When Shen Yueyao was doing these, she would also explain in detail to Erya.
Erya listened very carefully.
"It will take about half an hour to cook, and then you can put the duck head and neck in."
Su Erya nodded, "Okay, Third Aunt."
While Su Erya was making a fire, Shen Yueyao was preparing to heat up the steamed buns.
The steamed buns were already made by Mrs. Meng, so just heat them up.
Now that we have two pots at home, cooking is much more convenient.
After an hour and a half, the braised duck heads and duck necks are ready.
The steamed buns are naturally hot too.
Mrs. Meng could smell the rich fragrance while she was busy in the yard.
It smelled so good that it made her hungry.
Before I had eaten the food made by Yao Niang, eating every day felt like a task, and I thought it was enough as long as I could fill my stomach.
But ever since she tasted the food made by Yao Niang, she began to look forward to eating every day.
I feel very happy when eating delicious food. At that moment, I feel like I can forget everything and there is only food in front of me. This feeling is really magical.
Mrs. Meng hung the washed clothes on the clothesline. She smelled the fragrance, felt anticipation in her heart, and felt motivated to work.
My steps became lighter when I walked.
Shen Yueyao said to Su Erya, "Go and ask your uncle and your elder sister to come over for dinner."
Su Daya was quiet and peaceful, and she was going to get married in a few days, so Shen Yueyao didn't bother with Su Daya. For the sake of Madam Meng's face, she would also invite Su Daya to come over for dinner.
You can't ask her father to come over for dinner without asking her.
What's more, Su Xiuye now goes to the fields to work every day to help her plant potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops.
Moreover, Su Xiuye is strong and fast at work, so he can plant these crops quickly as well.
After working hard for a long time, you should always have a good meal.
Moreover, if Su Xiuye was not invited to dinner, Madam Meng would always be worried about him.
As a mother, I can't help but miss my son.
Just like her, when I go on a long trip, I always think of Dabao and Erbao in my heart and can't help but miss them.
So she could understand Mrs. Meng's feelings by putting herself in her shoes.
Every day, Madam Meng and Su Erya help her sincerely, which makes her feel much more relaxed. When the whole family enjoys a meal, they will be in a good mood.
The most important thing is that she felt that if she did this, Su Xueyi's heart burden would be lighter.
Because of her, her predecessor did so many bad things and affected Su Xueyi for such a long time, so she also thought about compensating Su Xueyi.
She likes the harmonious atmosphere now. The whole family works together and is motivated to do anything.
Moreover, when the business grows bigger in the future and I open a workshop, my family members can help look after it.
You can never trust others as much as your own family members.
Besides, Su Daya coming to eat a few times wouldn’t affect her at all.
Su Erya nodded and said, "Okay."
Su Erya then ran to the old house.
When she went there, her uncle had not come back yet.
Su Erya looked at Su Daya and said, "Sister Daya, Third Aunt wants you to come over for dinner."
Having eaten the food cooked by her third aunt, Su Daya naturally knew how delicious it was.
During the more than ten days that Third Aunt was away from home, the food they ate was very simple, which made Su Daya realize how good Third Aunt's cooking skills were.
Even though she felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't say no.
"Yeah, I understand."
Su Daya actually knows how to embroider, and she made her wedding dress herself.
When she went to work as a maid in a wealthy family, she actually saved some money for herself and did not give it to her family.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with that.
She worked for a wealthy family and learned a lot from them. She felt that there was nothing wrong with people planning for themselves.
But for some reason, since her father came back and she was about to get married, she felt a little guilty.
Every time she would comfort herself for a long time, feeling that she was not wrong.
But when she thought about leaving home and her relatives, she always felt a little uneasy, confused and a little panicked.
Later she went to Xia Nanlin Village, Nanliu Town, which was far away from Liuhe Village.
I don’t know when I can go home again.
Perhaps at this time, she realized that she still wanted her loved ones to be around.
She has been thinking a lot recently, and she also knows that for a married woman, her natal family is very important.
This time, if grandma hadn't helped her to gain some benefits, perhaps Lin Tingshu's mother would not have followed the normal ceremony.
But she didn't think she had done anything wrong, and she wanted to move up.
Lin Tingshu is well-educated. If she becomes a high-ranking official in the future, she may have the opportunity to meet her mother and let her mother see that she can also become an official's wife and that she is not useless.
At that time, would her mother regret abandoning her?
Su Daya thought about this, looked at Su Erya and said, "Erya."
When Su Erya was about to go back, she heard Su Daya calling her and turned around and said, "Sister Daya, what do you want to say?"
"Sister Daya, Auntie Third works very hard in business, and cooking is not easy either. Not to mention the shopping expenses, even cooking dinner took almost an hour. Auntie Third invited you to dinner out of kindness, but please don't..."
Su Daya interrupted Su Erya and said, "Erya, you misunderstood. I didn't mean anything else. I will go to eat. I also appreciate Third Aunt's kindness."
"I know Dad can come back thanks to Third Aunt."
"You should learn well from Auntie San, Erya. I'm different from you. You're still young. You should learn your craft well and live a stable life in the future."
After hearing these words, Su Erya felt uncomfortable for some reason.
When she was a child, whenever her grandmother was busy, it was her elder sister Daya who took care of her.
"Sister Daya, I think Lin Tingshu's mother is not a good person. Do you really want to marry her?"
Su Daya said, "Erya, this is the path I chose for myself, the path I wanted to take. Ever since I was convicted in the Marquis' Mansion and my mother abandoned me, I have been different from you."
She has a knot in her heart.
She has hatred in her heart. Sometimes she is very conflicted, and sometimes hatred prevails.
