Chapter 26 It’s not paranoia, it’s madness!
Old Mrs. Mu came back with half a basket of roses in her backpack.
Wherever she went, the fragrance was everywhere. Along the way, many people asked her why she was picking flowers in the mountains, but she was too embarrassed to say that it was her eldest son who forced her to go to the mountains to find roses!
For this little flower, she didn't go to work in the afternoon. She walked for a long time on the mountain road and even fell down.
I'm full of resentment.
However, all the resentment disappeared after smelling the aroma of lard as soon as I entered the door.
As soon as I walked in, I was shocked: "Who is refining lard?"
"Mom, it was my third brother who bought pork fat to make oil." Li Lan said.
Old Mrs. Mu was extremely relieved.
The third brother still has a conscience. Whenever he sees that the oil at home is running low, he goes to buy some.
Looking up, she saw Old Lady Gao leaning on the wall to smell the fragrance. Old Lady Mu was even more proud. She put the backpack away and said proudly: "Oh, it's good to have so many sons! All of them can earn money for the family."
Old Mrs. Gao only raised three daughters, and not having a son was the biggest pain in her life.
When she heard Mrs. Mu bragging about having many sons, her face immediately turned red.
Just as he was about to curse, Old Lady Mu picked up the broom and swung it over: "Where did you come from, you big rat? I'll beat you to death!"
Old Mrs. Gao was hit on the head and face by the broom and fell back to her own yard.
"Mrs. Mu, are you crazy? Do you think I'm a rat?"
"I didn't see it, but I knew the rat was stealing the oil. The big rat smelled the fragrance of my oil and wanted to eat the oil residue!"
Mrs. Gao, who was just thinking about asking Su Tang for two pieces of fried dough sticks, said: …
"Mom is awesome!" Su Tang gave her a thumbs up in admiration.
In ancient times, there was a rat that stole lamp oil. Wasn’t that just scolding Old Lady Mu for wanting to eat oil?
This uneducated mother-in-law is really good at quarreling.
Old Lady Mu smelled the fragrance of the oil and looked at Su Tang with favor: "Nuo, the flowers you asked for are back."
"OK."
Su Tang took the bamboo basket and poured the roses into the sieve to process the stamens and calyx.
It was a whole basket full of flowers, twice as much as Su Tang and the others had picked before!
There are so many flowers, it is impossible to put them all in the soap.
Su Tang came up with another idea: extracting rose water.
If you only use dried roses, the fragrance is limited. If you can use rose water instead of water, the fragrance of the soap can be greatly enhanced.
Just do it!
There was no distiller, let alone a beautiful glass pot. Only an antimony pot that had long been deformed.
Su Tang put the roses and water in, found a stand to place the bowl in the middle, and then flipped the lid on.
Li Lan saw how fancy she was making it, and she had a bad feeling: Was she really making soap? Wouldn't the lard...
She quickly ran to find Old Lady Mu to complain.
"Mom, the third child said he wanted to use the lard to make soap and wouldn't let us eat it."
Mrs. Mu: ???
Are you crazy? Good lard should be used for cooking, why make soap? I have never heard of it.
What nonsense!
Old Lady Mu rushed into the kitchen, where the oil had already been refined and put into the antimony pot. The lard residue was placed in an enamel basin.
Smells good! So good!
I really want to scrape some brown sugar powder right now and dip it in some oil residue to eat while it’s hot.
"Third brother, this oil..."
“It’s not for eating.”
Mu Jingzhou interrupted her before she could finish her words, "These oils are used by my second sister-in-law and Su Tang to make soap. No one is allowed to touch them."
Old Lady Mu was so exhausted that she almost fainted: "Old Third, are you crazy too? Why are you fooling around with them?"
"Mom, if you keep talking, we won't have any lard left to eat," said Mu Jingzhou.
Mrs. Mu: …
"Mom, we won't waste it." Yu Miaomiao said, "If you support us, we will give you a piece of soap when it's ready."
Is this the soap that Old Lady Mu is looking for?
Not to mention whether they could make it or not, even if they could, she would not be willing to exchange it for lard!
She only wants lard!
"Mom, I'm back."
Just when Old Lady Mu was about to lose her temper, Mu Jingyun came back with a bruise on his handsome face.
Everyone was shocked.
"Second brother, did you have a fight with someone?" Li Lan asked.
Mu Jingyun nodded, took out twenty yuan from his trouser pocket and handed it to Yu Miaomiao.
One of the five-dollar bills was stained with blood!
Could it be human blood? This money feels so hot.
“Second brother, you’re not going to rob again, are you?” Old Mrs. Mu was instantly panicked.
Su Tang raised her eyebrows in shock: Second brother seems to have a criminal record...
"This is the medical expenses paid by my eldest sister and brother-in-law." Mu Jingyun stuffed the money into Yu Miaomiao's pocket and smiled gently, "When you finish eating the Tianma, use this money to buy it!"
Yu Miaomiao didn't know what to say.
He had been missing all day, so he went to talk to Mu Fengzhen because of her? What should I do if I feel a little touched?
"Second brother!" Old Lady Mu exclaimed, "Your eldest sister is already having a hard time at her husband's house, how can you go to her to ask for money?"
"Are you beating my wife for nothing?" Mu Jingyun asked back.
The person who seemed quite gentle just now now had a gloomy look on one side of his face.
Straight, cut.
"Second brother, why didn't you call me?" Mu Jingzhou said.
The corners of Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao's eyes twitched.
Do the two brothers have to beat their brother-in-law together?
"From now on, if anyone dares to hit my wife, he has to pay the money," said Mu Jingyun.
Li Lan was secretly shocked.
Old Lady Mu thought: Crazy! How could she go crazy again after only a few years? I have to warn the second girl not to mess with the second family...
"Wife, you're not well yet, why are you working?" Mu Jingyun turned his face and became gentle again.
A wounded, broken, yet charming tenderness.
Yu Miaomiao swallowed lightly and said, "I feel much better today. My third sister-in-law and I want to make soap to sell, and this lard is the raw material. My third sister-in-law and my third brother went to the county town to buy pig fat, and I refined some oil."
"Okay, you guys do it, I support you!" said Mu Jingyun.
Without even asking, just unconditional support.
Old Mrs. Mu looked at her second son with complicated eyes and fell completely silent.
Su Tang lit another stove and put the antimony pot on it to steam the pure dew. She quietly asked Mu Jingzhou, "Why do I feel like mother is so afraid of my second brother?"
“They are all afraid.”
"Why?"
"My second brother was abducted and sold, but he killed the trafficker himself and ran back."
"Uh, how old was my second brother?"
"Eleven."
Su Tang gasped: "Then, where are the traffickers?"
"He was about 30 years old, I forgot. I just remember that when my second brother came back, he was covered in blood. It was scary..."
Su Tang imagined the scene and found it terrifying too.
Without these details in the drama, Mu Jingyun was already very paranoid. Now with these added, he looks like a madman!
Maybe his character is not paranoid, but crazy!
Su Tang was so scared that she swallowed silently.
Bai Yueguang, when will you come back? Hurry up, I don't want to wait any longer!
"Scared?" Mu Jingzhou looked up and saw his wife's face was pale, and smiled, "It's okay, my second brother can't beat me."
Su Tang: ………
I'm even more scared when you say that!
How can someone who can beat a crazy brother be a good person?
Otherwise, why don’t you discuss it with Miaomiao and run away?
