Chapter 23 Su Tang Goes Crazy
Although Mu Jingyun had not been seen since early morning, Mu Fengzhen's disturbance yesterday had disturbed the whole family.
The next morning, Old Lady Mu got up early and started cooking by herself.
While Su Tang was in charge of making the fire, she also kept in mind Mu Jingyun's instructions: to steam Gastrodia elata and egg custard for Yu Miaomiao.
Then, the two enjoyed it together in the house.
In this age without mobile phones and televisions, it’s boring to lie down for too long.
Yu Miaomiao went to Su Tang's room to deal with the impurities on the rosin together.
Li Lan took the initiative to show her friendship: "Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, are you cutting rosin? I'll help you."
"No need." Su Tang said.
Li Lan pretended not to hear, took out the scissors she brought with her and started to help.
The Sutang House not only has the scent of pine, but also the scent of roses.
Li Lan also loves to smell it.
"Third sister-in-law has so many roses here, they smell so good. I see there are some in second sister-in-law's room too, give me two to put in there too!"
"Next time! The ones left this time have been torn into petals and dried in the sun." Su Tang said.
Li Lan knew that she was deliberately unwilling to give it, and said awkwardly: "Okay! But Third Sister-in-law, why did you get so much rosin?"
“Making soap.”
"Ah? This thing can be made into soap?" Li Lan laughed: "Are you kidding me? This is rosin, it can be used as firewood at most, how can it be turned into soap?"
"Sister-in-law, you are really interesting. You ask again, but then you don't believe it after you ask." Yu Miaomiao snorted coldly.
Yesterday, Mu Fengzhen went to Li Lan's room first, and soon she rushed into her room to fight. If she said that Li Lan didn't instigate, she wouldn't believe it!
Fortunately, her room was close to Li Lan. If she had beaten the delicate and frail Su Tang first, she would have suffered a concussion.
"Hey, I just haven't heard that rosin can be made into soap." Li Lan was embarrassed and stopped asking.
Three people do the work of two people, and the entertainment game turns into a silent game.
It's so boring.
Yu Miaomiao cut some rosin for a while and then went back to the house to lie down.
Li Lan helped to trim all the rosin trees, and Su Tang took the roses to a ventilated place to turn them over and dry them in the sun.
Gao Chunyan next door asked: "Hey, what are you doing with all these flowers?"
"Put it in the house to enhance the fragrance." Su Tang thought that the soap had not been made yet, so it should be kept low-key.
Li Lan said: "It's for making soap!"
"Making soap?" Gao Chunyan was like hearing a fairy tale. "Haha, aren't they just some broken flowers? They smell good, but how can you make soap out of them?"
Su Tang's face was full of black lines.
"Third son's wife, you are just tinkering around to avoid working in the fields, right?" Gao Chunyan asked loudly.
This question really expressed Li Lan's inner thoughts!
I've never heard of rosin and flowers being turned into soap! These two lazy wives are fine for fooling the second and third sons.
Cheating her? No way!
"Third brother's wife, why don't you say anything? Did I get it right?" Gao Chunyan laughed.
Su Tang took a deep breath and said, "Yes, yes, you got it right."
"Haha, I knew it! You are still too young and won't lie." Gao Chunyan thought she had exposed Su Tang's lies and was very happy.
He wandered around the village cracking melon seeds, and spread the news that Su Tang had used some useless flowers to pretend to make soap.
Everyone in Chahe Village laughed.
"What soap? Just a lie to avoid working in the fields."
"Su Tang has some tricks, otherwise the third brother wouldn't have married her."
"I think the second son's wife is better. At least she can cook, but Su Tang can't do anything."
"Feng Zhen should have beaten Su Tang yesterday..."
“…”
Li Lan felt relaxed and refreshed after hearing this.
The eyes of the masses are sharp!
A village is so small, and the news spread to the fields. Old Lady Gao asked with a mocking attitude: "Old Lady Mu, your third daughter-in-law wants to make soap? That's amazing!"
"Auntie Mu, you are so lucky to have married such a powerful wife!"
“Using flowers to make soap hahaha…”
“…”
Because the new daughter-in-law doesn't go to the fields to work, Old Lady Mu has been ridiculed by the villagers for a long time.
Now this has happened again, and Old Mrs. Mu is so angry that her lungs are about to explode.
But yesterday, Fengzhen beat her brother's wife, and the whole village knew about it, and everyone was embarrassed.
The Mu family cannot lose face again!
So, I could only hold back my temper and say, "If the third child wants to spoil her, let her have fun!"
"Oh, Aunt Mu, you weren't like this before. What happened? Were you punished by your new wife?"
"How is that possible?" Old Lady Mu rolled her eyes. "Do you understand the principle that a harmonious family brings prosperity? My family has a lot of laborers, so we don't need one or two of them to work."
"Auntie Mu, you can't spoil them too much. Since you got married, your second and third sons are not active in working in the fields anymore."
"You still have a daughter, and two sons who are not married yet. If they don't work, you will be exhausted to death in the future!"
“…”
These words touched Mrs. Mu's soft spot.
The family had just married two daughters-in-law, and the surplus food was already running out. Now there was a pregnant woman, two mouths to feed.
Moreover, the second and third sons have also been led astray by their lazy wives recently. They didn't work at noon yesterday, and they still won't work today!
I don’t know where he went!
If this continues, how are we going to live?
It’s all because of those two lazy bastards who only eat and do no work, and they also lead her sons astray!
Although Old Mrs. Mu didn't say anything in the field, she was very angry.
When I got home and saw Su Tang working on roses, I went up to her and lifted the sieve: "If you have the energy to do these useless things, you might as well go to the fields and earn a few work points!"
Pah—a full sieve of roses scattered in the yard.
The good-tempered Su Tang was confused at first, then exploded.
"What?"
The person who usually spoke the most gently suddenly roared like a lion, which scared Old Lady Mu.
"How do you talk to your elders? How can you yell at them?"
"Mom, why did you scatter my flowers?" Su Tang asked angrily, "Do you know how hard it is for me to pick these flowers?"
"So what if it's not easy? Can flowers be eaten as food?" Old Mrs. Mu patted her chest to calm herself down, and the anger that she had been holding back in the field for half a day finally dissipated.
"Yes! My flowers can be eaten!" Su Tang felt sorry for the flowers and crossed her hands fiercely.
Although she was pretty, she could get angry easily! Yu Miaomiao had seen this many times.
Since she came here, Su Tang has always been an easy target for bullying. So this time, Yu Miaomiao decided not to intervene and let Su Tang establish her authority on her own.
"What do you think of this as a meal? Then just eat flowers today instead of rice." Old Mrs. Mu yelled.
"No, you have to pay me back!" Su Tang stepped forward aggressively, "You have to pay me back!"
Old Mrs. Mu was speechless: "Nonsense!"
"You have to compensate! You have to compensate! In order to pick these flowers, my second sister-in-law and I almost got lost in the mountains. If you don't compensate, I, I...I will complain to my second brother!"
Mu Jingzhou, who had just entered the house, had a shocked face.
When his wife was wronged, he actually went to complain to his second brother? Is he just a decoration?
"Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law!" Su Tang turned to look for Yu Miaomiao.
Yu Miaomiao looked at Mu Jingzhou, who was standing at the door with a livid face, and a smile flashed in her eyes: "Yes!"
"Look, half of these flowers also belong to my second sister-in-law. Mom, it's bad enough that you bully me, but you also bully my injured second sister-in-law!" Su Tang was confident with the support of her best friend.
As for Mu Jingzhou... I'm sorry, I really didn't see him.
