Su Wei doesn't like going out and has been busy setting up a stall these days.
She didn't know about the gossip in the village about her and Shen Yan. Shen Yan knew about it because he grew up in this village and knew some people there. The news had already reached his ears.
But Chen Yan didn't care.
He and Su Wei took over the stove for the stall from Tietou, and Chen Yan hired Xiaowu's ox cart to pull it.
Xiao Wu secretly glanced at Su Weiyi. Seeing that she wasn't looking at him, he whispered, "Aunt Hu San and Hu Taohua talk about it every day in the village, and many people in the village believe it."
Chen Yan said, "I haven't done it, but I'm not afraid to say it."
Xiao Wu was still a little worried: "I don't know where Hu Qiang has gone. He lost a piece of stinky shit and made others take the blame for him."
Chen Yan said nothing.
Su Wei secretly pricked up his ears but didn't hear anything serious.
When we returned to Nanqiao Village, someone passing by saw it and asked what it was.
Chen Yan didn't say anything, his face looked cold and scary, and Su Wei didn't say anything either. These people turned around and said that they were impolite.
When she was almost at Shen's house, Su Wei noticed that someone was looking at her. There were many people looking at her on the road, but these two gazes were particularly conspicuous.
One of them was Walnut Blossom, whom Su Wei knew. She was an ordinary-looking girl with a dark face. She was looking at Su Wei with a look that was even more resentful than Walnut Blossom's.
Su Wei: "..."
"Who is that?" Su Wei asked Chen Yan.
Chen Yan took a look and said, "I don't know him."
Xiao Wu said, "That's Zhao Yingdi."
"What?"
"Brother Zhao Ying." Xiao Wu repeated. To be honest, he didn't want to talk to Su Wei. This woman looked too weird and most men couldn't stand her.
Su Wei frowned slightly. He knew what the name meant the moment he heard it...
"Does she have a lot of daughters?"
Xiao Wu didn't want to talk, but he still said, "Yes, several."
Su Wei did not continue the topic, but asked Chen Yan: "Do you think she has ill intentions towards me?"
Chen Yan didn't bother to care whether Zhao Yingdi had any ill intentions or not. He just looked ahead and said, "Who cares if she has any..."
Su Wei rolled his eyes.
Xiao Wu turned around and saw it, thinking that Su Wei was really a vixen. Brother Yan didn't want to pay attention to her, but she still took the initiative to flirt with Brother Yan.
The bullock cart left.
Walnut Flower spat, "Shameless vixen."
Zhao Yingdi frowned slightly and turned to ask Hu Taohua, "Taohua, why do I feel like Su Wei and Shen Yan have a good relationship? Is she really still in a relationship with... with Qin Yu?"
Zhao Yingdi wondered how a godlike figure like Qin Yu could be so superficial as to like a woman like Su Wei?
But Hu Taohua said with certainty: "Why not? Qin Yu doesn't want to pay attention to her, but she keeps coming closer..."
Zhao Yingdi bit her lip. She knew Hu Taohua liked Qin Yu, and many girls in the village liked Qin Yu...
She...also likes...
Qin Yu is so gentle, so good...
I am not worthy of him, but that Su Wei is even less worthy...
"What should we do? If this continues, Qin Yu's reputation will be ruined by her."
Zhao Yingdi was a little anxious, and Hu Taohua suddenly looked at her: "Yingdi, you don't like Qin Yu too, do you?"
"I...I...of course I didn't, I just...I just can't stand Su Wei..."
"That's good." Hu Taohua breathed a sigh of relief and came over to say, "Yingdi, you are my good sister. You can't compete with me for Qin Yu."
Zhao Yingdi lowered his head: "I...I definitely won't."
She clenched her fingers.
She thought that since Brother Qin was such a good man, he should find a gentle, kind and beautiful girl, not someone like Su Wei, and certainly not someone as mean as Hu Taohua.
…
After everything was prepared, Su Wei and Shen Yan went to set up the stall. It was still very cold in the morning, and the two of them could still stand close to each other. Xiao Wu's ox cart was not moving fast, and it took nearly an hour to reach Shilipo. By then, the sun had come out, and it was not as cold as before.
Chen Yan put the stove in place and got the tools ready. He and Su Wei had made it several times at home and were quite familiar with it. The two of them worked hard and soon the pancakes were ready. They spread the sauce on them and sprinkled them with chopped green onions. The aroma filled the air.
The early pilgrims smelled the food and came towards their stall. When they saw the pancakes, they couldn't help swallowing.
“How much does this cake cost?”
Someone asked this.
Su Wei told the price. Her cakes were sold by the portion, two cents per portion. The pilgrim bought it very happily. The portion of cake was not large, so one was enough for girls with small appetites. But it was not so easy for men, as some needed two or three portions to be full. So the pilgrim finished eating the cake and came back to buy a few more portions, saying that he would bring them to his companions.
Someone asked, “Is it delicious?”
The pilgrim looked in a bad mood and said impatiently, "Why would I buy so much if it's not tasty?"
That's true...
And this cake looks delicious...
Compared to steamed buns and the like, this was considered a fresh food, and soon many people came to buy it. Su Wei and Shen Yan were busy all morning, and all the ingredients they brought were sold out...
Su Wei finally had time to drink a sip of water, and handed the kettle to Chen Yan. Chen Yan took a sip, and Su Wei suddenly turned around to look at him.
Chen Yan was puzzled: "Why?"
Su Wei: "No...it's okay..."
She was too embarrassed to say that Chen Yan drank her water...
never mind.
Chen Yan put down the kettle, as if he had thought of it, and put the kettle aside. He coughed dryly and said, "It's still early, do you want to go up the mountain?"
There is a temple on the mountain, and women like to worship gods, praying for children, family harmony, and other irrelevant things.
Su Wei was actually quite curious, but she was too tired today and had gotten up early, so she wanted to go back and rest early.
"Do you want to eat anything?" Su Wei asked.
Chen Yan shook his head.
There is nothing better than the sauce-flavored pancakes made by Su Wei.
Just as the two were about to go home, they saw a group of people gathered not far away watching the excitement. Su Wei threw down Chen Yan and ran over.
Then she saw a familiar person whom she had just met yesterday, and Su Wei was deeply impressed.
It was Zhao Yingdi. Standing next to her was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties. Zhao Yingdi called her "mother".
An old woman nearby was pushing Zhao's mother, cursing as she pushed, "Useless thing, how hard is it for you to kowtow? If you can't have another son, I'll ask the eldest brother to divorce you."
She cursed and swore, and everyone around was watching. Zhao Yingdi cried, "Grandma, my mother's knees are bleeding from kneeling. Please let her rest."
"Stop it, you're a loser, so why would you have the right to speak here?"
Old Mrs. Zhao kept cursing, and her words became more and more unpleasant.
Su Wei understood that it was Old Lady Zhao who wanted a grandson, so he brought Zhao's mother to the mountain to worship the gods.
But the mountain road was full of stones, and Zhao's mother kowtowed with every step. Now her head was broken and her knees were covered in blood. She was about to collapse, but Mrs. Zhao thought she was being lazy and started punching and kicking her, which led to the current scene.
