Chapter 109: Improper Relationship? Questioning Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao
"Dad, I heard that Miaomiao rode a new bicycle and brought many gifts to the Su family. Why didn't she come home to visit?" Yu Qingyun also heard the news and asked angrily as soon as he entered the door.
Old Man Yu responded with his nose.
Yu Qingyun was sure it was true, and he became even angrier: "She is so rich, and we are so poor that we can barely make ends meet. How can this be justified? Dad, you didn't teach your daughter well."
"I didn't teach you well, and now I can't teach you." Old Man Yu sighed, "But don't worry, Dad will get you the money for the bride price."
Yu Qingyun's eyes lit up: "How do we do this?"
"Do you remember Lao Wang from the state-owned restaurant? He still likes your sister and is willing to pay 280 yuan to marry her." said Old Man Yu.
Yu Qingyun rolled his eyes: "Miaomiao is married."
"You can marry a second time!"
Yu Qingyun was shocked: "Mu Jingyun is dead? Miaomiao is a widow?"
"Well, no. But your sister can divorce and remarry."
Old Yu told about the conspiracy between him and Old Wang.
Yu Qingyun and Yu Qingben not only did not think it was outrageous, they also agreed unanimously!
Finally, Yu Qingyun whispered, "Dad, I will take care of the money you collected from the betrothal gift this time. I can't let you squander it again."
"Well, fine." Old Man Yu's face flushed with embarrassment. "Don't tell your brother and Miaomiao about the fact that I was cheated."
————As it got darker, Yu Miaomiao and Su Tang took turns riding the bike to take each other home.
Render the pork fat first, then cook dinner.
When Li Lan smelled the aroma of lard, she remembered the pig fat she had wasted when she failed to make soap.
It's all because Su Tang and Yu Miaomiao were stingy and refused to show their key technology. Otherwise, they would be selling soap now.
Fortunately, she still has Shen Mingzhu.
Shen Mingzhu said she would get her a recipe for making soap, and she would be able to start her own business in the near future. By then, she could get more flowers and plants to develop new scents, and she wouldn't have to worry about bad business.
Li Lan comforted herself by thinking of her own advantage - malted milk.
This is something unique to her!
With a sense of revenge, Li Lan went to the kitchen to make malted milk instead of using the boiled water in her room.
The rich aroma of milk filled the air, and Su Tang felt greedy and hungry - she had only eaten two fruit candies from the time she set up the stall today!
"Sister-in-law, please leave some boiled water for me. I also want to drink malted milk." Su Tang added firewood to the stove and went to find a bowl.
Li Lan's face changed instantly: "Third sister-in-law, you are not pregnant, you don't need to take supplements."
"Huh?" Su Tang held two empty bowls, puzzled.
Li Lan thought, you still want to drink two bowls? Dream on!
"Mingzhu said that malted milk is for me and the baby to supplement nutrition. Don't fight with me for it." Li Lan said loudly.
Yu Miaomiao paused while stirring the oil.
Su Tang suddenly realized: "Sister-in-law thought I wanted your malted milk."
"Isn't it? Then I misunderstood. Sorry, I take back what I said." Li Lan thought she was smart and blocked Su Tang's way to ask for malted milk.
Then he sat at the table and drank it by blowing on it spoonful by spoonful.
There was pride in his eyes and brows.
Humph, I finally beat them!
Su Tang put the two bowls on the table. Li Lan glanced at them and continued to drink her own, pretending not to see it.
Are you greedy? Do you want to drink? The bowl is in front of you, and the next step is to ask her to give them a few sips, right?
If they are willing to exchange it for soap, it is not impossible...
Pour two large spoonfuls of milky yellow milk powder into empty bowls, one spoonful for each bowl.
Li Lan looked up in shock and shouted subconsciously: "Third sister-in-law, you can't touch my things..."
"What did sister-in-law say?" Su Tang asked with a smile, holding a bag of malted milk in her left hand.
Li Lan's head buzzed and she stood up: "Give it back to me!"
"What else?"
"Third sister-in-law, how could you touch the things in my room without my consent? Give them back to me now!"
Her malted milk was stolen!
"Sister-in-law, look carefully, is this yours?" Su Tang shook the malted milk in her hand.
The three-inch long slanted triangle of red plastic paper fell on the table, very eye-catching.
This is not Li Lan's bag.
She only cut a one-inch slit in her bag.
"You, where are you from?" Li Lan suddenly lost her power and her voice became smaller.
"I bought it today." Su Tang smiled sweetly, "Second sister-in-law said that if others have it, I will have it too!"
“…”
No matter how you put it, it doesn't make sense!
Li Lan got jealous and said sarcastically, "Oh, it was bought by my second brother's wife? What about mine?"
"Sister-in-law, aren't you pregnant?" Yu Miaomiao didn't even turn her head and looked at the pot intently.
"Mingzhu gave me that, it's different. Second sister-in-law, you have to treat everyone equally!" Li Lan walked to the kitchen and stared at Yu Miaomiao, "You bought it for third sister-in-law, you should buy one for me too."
Yu Miaomiao was speechless: "Sister-in-law, your fingers are also long and short when you stretch them out."
"So, in your heart, I am not as good as your third brother's wife?"
"Yes."
Yu Miaomiao's directness made Li Lan angry: "We are sisters-in-law, why are you so partial to me?"
"My third brother's wife and I are close friends, right?" Yu Miaomiao bluntly said, "In other words, if I'm in trouble, she can risk her life to save me. Can you, sister-in-law?"
Li Lan, you can’t!
Anyone who takes risks for others is a fool!
"See, the sister-in-law hesitated. So, you are different from her. Don't compare with her in the future, so as not to cause yourself trouble." After Yu Miaomiao finished speaking, she continued to stir the oil residue in the pot.
Mu Jingyun and Mu Jingzhou had used up all the meat coupons they had saved for a long time, and they had to wait a month to get their rations. Private butcher shops only had meat during big markets, and it was not available every day.
Alas! I never expected that the biggest bottleneck in the soap business is the lack of meat!
She wanted to squeeze out as much oil residue as possible so that she could make two more bars of soap.
Li Lan didn't expect that the two sisters-in-law would hug each other to the point of risking their lives, and she was speechless for a moment.
Su Tang generously made two bowls of malted milk, and when it cooled down, she called Yu Miaomiao to drink it.
This stuff can't be compared with the organic milk of later generations, but it is already the best thing of this era. The two drank it with relish.
"Don't you want to drink milk tea? Make it with this tomorrow." Yu Miaomiao said.
Su Tang also wanted to, but felt it was such a waste!
She couldn't bear to do that.
"The sugar here is sweet enough, and it will be almost sweet if you add some tea leaves. If you can find tapioca flour later, you can also make pearls." Yu Miaomiao also wanted to drink the happy water from the future again.
A smile appeared on my face as I was daydreaming, and it seemed like a dream.
When he looked at Su Tang again, he was particularly doting: "Fortunately, we have always been together..."
"Don't be sad. We will always be together." Su Tang knew that Yu Miaomiao missed home, so she gently comforted her.
Li Lan looked at the two people and suddenly thought of a rumor that had been circulating in the village for a while: "The third wife of Mu Lao called the second wife "baby", which was so corny..."
"The two of them are inseparable, even closer than a married couple. They don't seem to be a good match! Didn't anyone in the Mu family notice that?"
“…”
Li Lan got goosebumps.
They don't have "that kind of relationship"?
