Su Wei was still worried that the Hu family would cause trouble again.
But not.
Quietly.
Even Hu Sanjia never came again.
Xu Can stared at Chen Yan for a long time with a complicated expression, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he cried out in grievance: "Second Brother Chen..."
When he was young and his family was poor, he had no one to play with, so he often followed his sister to the mountains to pick wild vegetables.
I always meet the Shen brothers.
Shen Dalang was strong and tall. Feeling sorry for the siblings, he often helped them chop firewood. Sometimes when he hunted wild animals, he would give them some.
Chen Yan doesn't like to talk, and Xu Can has been afraid of him since he was a child, but when Chen Yan has something delicious, he will share it with him.
That was the happiest time in Xu Can's life.
This good life lasted until his sister made a pair of shoes for Shen Dalang.
My sister probably liked Shen Dalang. She lived frugally, saved good cloth, and sewed every stitch firmly. When the shoes were finished, my sister was very happy. She was pretty and her smile was even more beautiful. When she touched the shoes, it was like she was touching her most beloved person.
She gave the shoes to Shen Dalang.
Shen Dalang answered the call, probably understanding what she meant.
So, Shen's mother asked someone to propose marriage.
The Xu siblings were very happy.
They desperately wanted Shen Dalang to become their family.
Xu Can thought, Shen Dalang is mature and steady, looks very reliable, and is also good to his sister...
From now on he can just call him brother-in-law.
Brother-in-law...
He might even be able to eat with Second Brother Shen.
However, reality always slaps people in the face. If the gears of fate are slightly off, it will lead to a different life.
Old Man Xu disagreed.
The Xu siblings were confused. They felt that their family was poor and the Shen family was also poor, so there was nothing to despise. Why didn't their grandfather agree?
Xu Lan has always been well-behaved. She gritted her teeth and went to find Old Man Xu, and overheard the conversation between Old Man Xu and Shen's mother.
"Xu Can is still young, and I'm an old man. If Xu Lan gets married, how will we, grandfather and grandson, survive?"
"I know Dalang is a good kid, but being good doesn't mean you can eat him..."
"Ten taels of silver, we only want ten taels of silver..."
Mother Shen left and never came back.
Xu Lan didn't say anything else.
After that, Shen Dalang went to join the army, and soon after, something happened to his sister...
Xu Can felt that their lives were like that dilapidated thatched house that was struggling to hold on, and it might collapse at the slightest gust of wind.
For a while, he hated Old Man Xu. He didn't understand why Old Man Xu broke up Xu Lan and Shen Dalang.
Just for ten taels of silver?
Xu Can pinched his pocket, and there was less than ten taels in it, which was exchanged for Old Man Xu's life.
Xu Lan also exchanged ten taels back then...
Is a life worth ten taels?
…
Chen Yan was making a feather duster for Su Wei, and when he heard this, he looked up at Xu Can.
Xu Can came back to his senses and couldn't help but tug at his worn clothes. He seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say it.
After Shen Dalang's death, the Xu family no longer dared to appear in front of the Shen family...
Old man Xu felt even more guilty, towards the Shen family and Xu Lan. Perhaps death would be a relief for him...
If Xu Can hadn't been so hungry this time, he wouldn't have come to the Shen family.
Chen Yan put down the work in his hands, stood up, stared at Xu Can for a long time, said nothing, just rubbed his head.
Xu Can cried silently, tears streaming down his face and falling to the ground with a plop.
Silently.
Su Wei felt unhappy.
When leaving, Su Wei brought some food to Xu Can.
"How will he live in the future?" Su Wei couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Yan still had no expression: "Live your life the way you should."
No one can ever replace your own life.
After being beaten by Chen Yan, Hu Sanjia never caused trouble again, nor did he come to settle the score with Chen Yan.
However, because the injury was serious, they did not cause trouble for Xu Can.
The Xu family owns land, Xu Can has money and land, and he is not young anymore, so he can definitely support the Xu family.
Su Wei and Shen Yan continued to sell cakes. Xiao Wu said that there would be a temple fair in a few days, so Su Wei thought of taking advantage of these days to do some other business.
What to do?
She looked at Chen Yan, who looked confused, not understanding why she was looking at him?
Of course it's not because he's handsome, but...
Su Wei suddenly thought of something to eat. She could make cold noodles and jelly. These two things are low-cost, easy to make, and perfect for this season.
Su Wei first tried to make cold noodles. To make this, you need to knead the dough first, then wash the dough to wash out the gluten, and then use the remaining batter to make it.
She quickly prepared the dish by mixing some chili oil, Sichuan pepper oil, minced garlic, green onions, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, and handed it to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan took a sip, his eyes lit up, and he gave his evaluation.
"tasty."
Su Wei smiled.
She did it right away. She and Shen Yan went to the market to buy ingredients, wooden bowls and chopsticks, two wooden tables, and several small stools.
After returning, Su Weiyi rushed into the kitchen.
Qin Yu came in at lunchtime and saw Chen Yan making a fence in the yard. The wooden sticks he was sharpening were so thin and sharp...
Qin Yu asked: "Who are you trying to kill?"
Chen Yan looked up at him and frowned unhappily: "What are you doing here?"
Qin Yu smiled mysteriously and shouted into the room: "Su Wei, I brought you some delicious food..."
When Su Wei came out, he saw Chen Yan and Qin Yu staring at each other like fighting cocks.
"You guys..." She was a little speechless.
Qin Yu walked up to Su Wei with a smile under Shen Yan's death stare, asking for credit: "Look what I brought you?"
"What?" Su Wei asked expressionlessly.
