Chapter 201 The Best Bamboo Wine
The next morning, Tu Subo and Gu Yuexuan went out together. As soon as they reached the village entrance, they met villager Hu Hongsheng. Hu Hongsheng looked at them with sympathy in his eyes. He walked up to Tu Subo and said, "Tu Subo, I heard about your story. It's really pitiful. Don't worry, everyone in our village will support you and will not let people like Wei Tianwen take advantage of us."
Tu Subo looked at Hu Hongsheng, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes. He smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Hu Hongsheng. I'm fine, I will get through it."
Hu Hongsheng looked at Tu Subo, nodded, and said, "A man like you is truly admirable. I've heard that Wei Tianwen is a piece of shit. Don't worry, everyone in our village will help you."
Tu Subo smiled slightly and said, "I know, thank you."
Gu Yuexuan glanced at Tu Subo, who was pretending to be serious, and couldn't help but secretly give him a thumbs up. She knew that although Tu Subo was misunderstood and disliked by the villagers during the incident of Wei Tianwen's attack, he always maintained his innocence. She admired his tenacity and forbearance.
As night fell, the Tu Su family's courtyard was brightly lit. Tu Subo and his wife, Gu Yuexuan, sat on the stone steps, while their grandfather sat in a rocking chair, watching them quietly. Tu Subo's face was slightly melancholy, while Gu Yuexuan's was filled with worry.
Gu Yuexuan couldn't help but say, "Brother Bo, why don't you explain to everyone? They misunderstood you, but you didn't say a word."
Tu Subo smiled slightly and shook his head: "What's the point of explaining? They have already made up their minds. No matter how much I say, it will be in vain. Besides, the truth will eventually come out."
The old grandfather coughed twice and spoke slowly, "Bo'er is right. Some things can't be solved by explanation. Instead of wasting time and energy on talking, it's better to prove it with practical actions."
Gu Yuexuan said anxiously, "But, Grandfather, their disgust and rejection of Brother Bo have made our lives very difficult."
The old grandfather sighed and said, "Xuan'er, you have to understand that life always has its lows. The difficulties we are facing now are only temporary. As long as we are determined in our hearts, we will always get through it."
Gu Yuexuan nodded gently, but she was still a little uneasy. She looked at Tu Subo with worry in her eyes. Tu Subo held her hand and comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry, I will be fine."
As the night deepened, the three of them sat in silence in the yard, each thinking about their own things. Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence. A villager ran over, panting, and shouted, "Tu Subo, go and see! Something happened at Wei Tianwen's house!"
Tu Subo immediately put down his teacup and walked quickly towards Wei Tianwen's house. Gu Yuexuan and the old grandfather followed closely behind him.
Wei Tianwen's house was brightly lit, and the villagers gathered at the door, talking about something. Tu Subo walked inside and saw Wei Tianwen lying on the bed, his face pale and his breathing weak. His wife and children gathered around him, crying anxiously.
Tu Subo walked to the bedside and looked at Wei Tianwen. His heart tightened. He turned to the villagers and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to save Brother Wei."
The villagers began to discuss: "Tu Subo, don't you have a grudge against Wei Tianwen? Now that he's in trouble, will you save him?"
"Yeah, didn't you always have a problem with him before?"
Tu Subo glanced at them calmly and said, "Although I am not a good person, I will not stand by and watch someone die. Please give me a chance to prove my innocence."
The villagers were still skeptical, but seeing Tu Subo's determined look, they made way.
Tu Subo took Wei Tianwen's pulse and found that he was ill because of overwork and depression. He immediately prescribed a medicine for Wei Tianwen and asked his wife to get it.
Under Tu Subo's meticulous care, Wei Tianwen gradually recovered. Seeing this, the villagers could not help but marvel at Tu Subo's superb medical skills, and their doubts gradually dissipated.
After Wei Tianwen recovered, he personally went to Tu Su's house and apologized to Tu Subo: "Brother Bo, I misunderstood you before. Thank you for saving my life."
Tu Subo smiled and patted Wei Tianwen's shoulder: "Brother, let the past be the past. As long as we unite as one, what difficulties can't be overcome?"
Gu Yuexuan looked at Tu Subo with admiration and love in her heart
Standing aside, looking at Tu Subo and Hu Hongsheng, my heart was filled with emotion.
At dawn, Tu Subo had already carried several large jars of brewed wine to the door. He gazed at the gradually rising dawn in the east, a tired yet satisfied smile on his face. Just then, his wife, Gu Yuexuan, emerged from the house. She was wearing a light blue, slim-waisted dress, a smile on her face as she approached him.
Gu Yuexuan: "Brother Bo, are you ready so early?"
Tu Subo: "Yes, I have to deliver the wine to the town today, and I can't delay. Oh, Sister Gu, the owner of the restaurant has sent me a letter, please see how to reply."
Gu Yuexuan took the letter and unfolded it. After a moment, she frowned slightly and said to Tu Subo, "Brother Bo, the letter says that the restaurant owner wants us to brew other types of liquor, but I don't think we have the conditions yet. I want to reply to him that we can't brew other types of liquor for the time being, but we will try brewing bamboo wine in the future."
Tu Subo: "Bamboo wine? Sister Gu, why did you suddenly want to brew this kind of wine? I remember you braved the snow to search for bamboo forests before. What was your purpose?"
A hint of shyness flashed across Gu Yuexuan's face. She looked at Tu Subo and whispered, "Actually, when I was a child, my grandfather told me that bamboo sap wine has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, moistening the lungs and relieving coughs. I thought that if we could brew this kind of wine, it would not only benefit the villagers, but also make our winery more famous. As for braving the snow to find a bamboo forest, it's because I heard that there is a rare bamboo in the bamboo forest here that can be used to brew the best bamboo sap wine."
A hint of curiosity flashed in Tu Subo's eyes. He took Gu Yuexuan's hand and said, "Sister Gu, let's give it a try! Since you are so confident, I believe you can brew the best bamboo wine."
Gu Yuexuan smiled slightly and nodded, "Thank you, Brother Bo. I will try my best."
Gu Yuexuan climbed onto the carriage with swift movements, removed the oilcloth covering the wine jars, and gently brushed off the dust. She examined each jar intently, as if each one carried her hopes and painstaking efforts.
Tu Subo stood at the door, watching his wife's busy back, and couldn't help but feel deeply moved. He knew that since they came to this quiet Yuanqian Village, Gu Yuexuan had devoted herself to winemaking, hoping to bring better wine to the villagers.
"Husband, look at these wine jars. I've already checked them." Gu Yuexuan turned around, a hint of helplessness in her eyes. "Currently, the materials are limited, and there's not much koji left. We can't increase production in quantity, so we can only improve the quality of the wine."
Tu Subo frowned slightly, knowing that Gu Yuexuan was telling the truth. He walked over, gently held her hand, and comforted her, "Xuan'er, you've done well enough. The wine we brew has already won the favor of the villagers, so don't worry too much."
