Chapter 119: A biased old woman!
Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao refused Qin Xian's offer to lend them clothes - the clothes in the store were all produced by the provincial garment factory and were probably already sold out in the provincial capital.
They need newer styles to achieve outstanding results, but they no longer have the money to make new clothes.
Moreover, we won’t make it in time.
Then go for the simplest route! Wear old clothes—the most common Dacron shirts and overalls in the countryside.
The most high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods...
————When I got home, Li Lan hadn't come back yet.
Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao each found their old clothes and packed their luggage.
Then I packed twenty pieces of each of the three flavors of soap, filling the basket.
Afraid that Su Tang might suffer from hypoglycemia on the way, Yu Miaomiao also grabbed two handfuls of fruit candies.
When the brothers Mu Jingyun and Mu Jingzhou came back, they had already prepared everything.
"Second brother, third brother, we will go to the provincial capital tomorrow and have the interview the day after tomorrow."
"real?"
Mu Jingyun and Mu Jingzhou's eyes lit up.
After waiting for so long, it’s finally here!
Old Mrs. Mu was also very happy: "Second and third sons, you should eat more today, because you have to drive for five hours tomorrow!"
"I'll go to your uncle's house and pick some sour pears for you to take with you on the way. If you get carsick, eating sour pears can help relieve your symptoms."
"Take good care of your new clothes and make sure they don't get wrinkled. When you get to the provincial capital, bring something for Fengfen."
Old Mrs. Mu packed a bag of dried sweet potato vegetables and a piece of bacon.
Su Tang joked, "Mom really loves my second sister."
"It's not easy for your second sister to be alone in the provincial capital." Old Mrs. Mu asked them to take some soap with them, but she thought about it and gave up.
These two stingy guys definitely won’t be willing to give it!
He went back to the house and took out two eggs, and gave them to Mu Jingyun: "Oh, it's easy to get hungry on the road. Boil these two eggs tomorrow and take them with you and the third brother."
Not only did he not mention Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao from beginning to end, but he also gave two eggs to the four of them when they went out!
A biased old lady!
Yu Miaomiao said loudly: "Third sister-in-law, do you still have eggs in your room? Let's take five each and eat them on the way!"
"Not enough, we need to bring six. We'll be gone for three days, so we need to dry two eggs every day!" Su Tang answered loudly, "Bring some fruit candies too, I'll need them on the road."
They eat two out of six eggs a day, so there is no share for the men!
Mrs. Mu: …
Seeing that another quarrel between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was about to begin, Mu Jingyun quickly said, "Mom, we are going to rest, you should rest too!"
Old Mrs. Mu glared at the two daughters-in-law angrily and went back to the house.
"Mom, didn't you notice that my sister-in-law and brother are not at home?" Yu Miaomiao asked slowly.
Old Mrs. Mu was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that there were two people missing from the house.
"Where did they go?"
"Maybe he's going back to the Li family! I saw Li Bing bought a large piece of pig fat today. I heard he was going to make soap."
Old Lady Mu's face changed drastically: "How can you teach your skills to Li Bing?"
"No. I don't know where he learned it." Yu Miaomiao said, "By the way, the oil residue that my sister-in-law brought back last time was used to make soap."
"This, this... this is outrageous!"
Old Mrs. Mu had already guessed that Li Lan was trying to steal her skills, and her face became terribly gloomy.
Making soap is the Mu family’s unique craft, how could they steal it back to the Li family?
If the Li family succeeds, won’t they have more competitors in the future?
"Mom, don't be angry! If the Li family can succeed, my sister-in-law will be able to get some benefits when she returns to her parents' home in the future." Su Tang smiled and fanned the flames.
"The Li family is so stingy, what benefits can they give? It's good enough that they don't take benefits from my family!" The more Mrs. Mu thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong: "No, I have to go to the Li family to take a look. Xiao Su and Xiao Tang, you come with me!
"No."
Su Tang turned around and went back to the house.
She doesn't want to be a villain.
Old Mrs. Mu wanted to call the second and third sons, but they went back to the house in tacit understanding: "We have to take a long-distance bus tomorrow, so go to bed early tonight."
Only old man Mu is left.
He didn't go either: "What's the point of you going now? Can you stop making soap after scolding me? If Li Lan gets pregnant again, the Li family will blame you!"
"Well, if I don't want to go, then I won't go." Old Lady Mu said awkwardly, "I just can't accept it! My family hasn't even had enough to eat yet, and I'm using my cooking skills to feed her family..."
…
When it was dark, Mu Jingyuan and Li Lan came back with happy faces.
This time they succeeded!
The liquids that have been put into the mold for "saponification" feel the same as those made by Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao!
As long as you wait for more than twenty days, the Li family also has soap for sale!
At that time, the couple can share half of the profits.
Old Lady Mu saw the expressions of the two people and understood their situation clearly. But she didn't say anything - mainly because she was afraid that Li Lan would have a miscarriage.
When the Li family sells soap, she will go and make trouble again and extort some tuition money!
Li Lan didn't know that her plot had been discovered by everyone, and she smiled as usual: "Mom, I brought back some oil residue from my mother's house today..."
"Just leave it there." Old Mrs. Mu said with a stern face.
Li Lan was stunned: "Mom?"
Old Mrs. Mu has gone back to the house.
Li Lan looked at the quiet courtyard and asked Mu Jingyuan, "What happened to mother?"
"I don't know, maybe she was pissed off by those two again." Mu Jingyuan looked at his wife and said impulsively, "I'm going back to sleep tonight..."
"No! I'm afraid of disturbing the fetus." Li Lan flatly refused.
Mu Jingyuan had no choice but to go back to his room alone in depression.
My wife is only five months pregnant, and she still has half a year to go before she is free.
I lay on the hard bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, my mind full of yellow garbage, my desires growing stronger, and I felt like bugs were crawling on my body and couldn't calm down. I simply got up and went outside to enjoy the night breeze.
Li Lan asked, "Jingyuan, where are you going?"
"Have the wind!"
“…”
Li Lan knew what her husband wanted, but she really didn't dare to take any more risks.
At this time, she would never have expected that her honest husband would cheat on her with a widow from the next village during her pregnancy...
Just as she was about to go back to the house, Old Lady Mu opened the window and called out, "Li Lan, you will cook from tomorrow. Xiao Su and Xiao Yu are going to the provincial capital."
"Be careful not to disturb the fetus. Our family doesn't have the money to treat you."
Old Mrs. Mu slammed the window shut.
Li Lan took a deep breath and cursed in her heart: "Old woman who looks down on others and expects others to be more powerful! Do you think they look down on me now that they have made it? Just wait, I can make money too!"
