Chapter 84 Easier to use than a puppy
"Are you seriously ill? If you pour bitter gourd on it, it will turn into jade tofu. Then why don't you pick up green chicken shit and smear it on the tofu? It will turn green too! When our Si Er was mentally ill before, he would never do such an outrageous thing as you."
"Mother, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I really know I was wrong." Wang was poked by Mrs. Zhou's fingers. She couldn't avoid it and was forced to retreat repeatedly.
Backing away and begging for mercy.
Boss Zhou finally spoke up, "Dad, Mom, I don't know why Wang's brain hasn't been working properly lately. She really deserves a beating. How about we use the family law to give her a good beating to clear her mind..."
When Wang heard this, she cried even more miserably.
"Boss, you have such a cruel heart!"
"Dad, Mom, I know I was wrong. I will never do it again."
There was a lot of crying and shouting.
Everyone was speechless.
In the end, it was Zhou Dalang who spoke up and begged Old Man Zhou for help.
Old Man Zhou wanted to let Wang go, but Mrs. Zhou refused and insisted that Wang pay back the money she lost for the three plates of tofu.
Wang cried again that she had no money.
Mrs. Zhou didn't believe it and said that the last time the ancestor appeared, he gave her silver as a reward, and it was impossible that the eldest wife didn't have two taels of silver in her own pocket.
If she doesn't pay the money, we will use family law to punish her and send her back to her parents' home.
Wang could only pay two taels of silver as compensation.
The matter is finally settled.
But Lin Shiqi's case is not over yet.
Lin Shiqi said calmly, "Sister-in-law, you wrongly accused our mute mother at the beginning and bullied her for not being able to speak. Don't you want to apologize to her?"
Wang felt guilty, and when she saw the fourth couple, they had no intention of giving in.
She even paid two taels of silver as compensation, so an apology was no problem at all.
"I'm sorry, I was afraid of being scolded by my parents, so I dragged my mute mother out to take the blame. I was blinded by greed..."
Wang warned herself to endure the anger for the time being and plan for the future.
After her son goes to high school, she will not let any of the Zhou family members go.
What's wrong with her wrongly accusing a mute?
The mute was picked up from outside.
Cover up for her, what's wrong?
The mute also beat her, why didn't anyone say anything?
The little mute girl snorted arrogantly at her, indicating that she would not pursue the matter.
Wang deliberately showed her wrist, which had been pinched until it turned purple, in front of everyone, and went out crying.
Zhou Dalang was the last to leave. Before leaving, he apologized to Lin Shiqi and his wife, as well as Zhou Po and the others on behalf of Wang.
The tone was very sincere.
"My mother had good intentions, but she wasn't very smart. I will definitely have a good talk with her when I get back. Grandpa and grandma, please don't get mad at my mother. Fourth aunt, you've worked hard making tofu. Can I stay up tonight and help you make three more plates?"
Lin Shiqi waved his hand. "I can't do it. The beans won't be soaked in a short time. I'll go and explain to Xu's Company tomorrow."
"That's okay too."
Old Man Zhou comforted Zhou Dalang in return, "Your mother is confused, it has nothing to do with you, don't take it to heart, just study hard."
"Thank you, sir."
Mrs. Zhou rolled her eyes so much that they reached the sky.
After everyone left, only Lin Shiqi, Liu, and Zhou Po were left.
Liu had already gone to rinse the tofu with clean water.
"Fourth brother's wife, I just smelled it, it doesn't seem to be poison, it's just the smell of wormwood, rotten lotus leaves and bitter gourd juice. Let's clean the top layer, we should be able to sell it tomorrow..."
Lin Shiqi shook his head. "That won't work. The tofu is contaminated. It's useless to just clean the surface. We have to be honest in doing business."
Mrs. Zhou said distressedly, "So, is this really a waste? If I keep it at home, I won't be able to finish it all by myself! It's 300 kilograms!"
Lin Shiqi smiled and said, "Let's clean the tofu first and cut off the outer layer. If any villagers come to buy it tomorrow, we'll sell it at half price and tell them that it may taste a little bitter. I have another use for the inner layer, so it won't be wasted."
Mrs. Zhou was curious, "What's the use?"
“Mold-proof tofu.”
"Ah? What is that?"
"A kind of food."
Now, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liu became excited.
"Is this another new thing that Si'er read about in a book?"
Lin Shiqi smiled, "Yes, mother, you are really smart."
Mrs. Zhou laughed, "I'm not smart, it's you two who are smart..."
My heart feels as sweet as honey.
The fourth son's wife is not only capable, but also nice to hear.
Mother Zhou said, "It's not safe to keep this tofu in the kitchen. Let's pack it up and move the tofu and the shelf to the utility room. Little Mute is so clever. She happens to live in the utility room. She can help watch over the tofu. See if there's any bitch who dares to take our tofu!"
This proposal was approved by everyone.
Liu said, "Little Mute is a really clever child. When we fell asleep like a pig, the little fellow was still awake and caught my sister-in-law doing something bad. I think this child is not simple, but just can't speak."
Lin Shiqi seconded the motion.
The little mute girl was as alert as a puppy.
Easier to use than a puppy.
After this was settled, they started to prepare the tofu. Mrs. Zhou asked the men to come in and move the tofu rack to the utility room.
Mother Zhou rewarded the mute girl with a new quilt with brand new cotton.
"Next time, let's see who dares to do bad things to our tofu! Little mute girl, you did a great job. If it weren't for you, the tofu living in our house would suffer even greater losses."
The little mute girl raised the corner of her mouth.
After a busy day, it was almost dawn and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Zhou Lang and his wife also lay back on the bed.
Lin Shiqi was quite angry. "Zhou Lang, this matter is closely related to Zhou Qinan. He must have been the one who was causing the trouble. If Ya Niang hadn't discovered it, then this matter would have gone unnoticed. If we can't catch him tomorrow, we won't have any tofu to deliver."
More than a thousand kilograms of tofu is not a small amount and the cost is also very high.
There are more than a thousand kilograms of beans.
There are also time costs and labor costs.
If they were afraid of wasting so much tofu and gave away the contaminated tofu, it would be the reputation of Zhou Ji Tofu that would be damaged.
If I don't send it, I'll be breaking the contract and delaying Xu's business.
It's difficult to deal with no matter what.
If they were discovered, it's not like they had sprayed any poison that wouldn't kill anyone, so they could just make up an explanation.
Zhou Lang replied lazily, "Maybe he's unhappy because the Zhou family is doing well in selling tofu and is doing well? Is it against his wishes? He should make some trouble. He can attack when he advances and defend when he retreats."
Lin Shiqi became even angrier, "Then what should we do? He's like this, he doesn't even consider him as a member of the Zhou family. Are we just going to let him go?"
Zhou Lang said, "He finds something for us to do, and we also find something for him to do."
Lin Shiqi raised his eyebrows, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Zhou Lang hummed.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow after I deliver the tofu."
