Chapter 96 Satisfied
Now when the big sliding windows are opened, the room is bright and spacious, and everyone who sees it says it’s good.
Little Mute Girl likes it too.
The tofu shop started working that day, with seven or eight large pots, each of which was emitting steam.
As for firewood, it was also collected by Lao Zhou's family with money.
It really wastes too much firewood.
Old Man Zhou is a hardworking man. His family has no shortage of firewood as they use it all year round. There are piles of firewood in front of and behind the house, but they cannot withstand the large amount of firewood used by the tofu shop.
It costs a sum of money to collect firewood.
However, Lao Zhou's family started selling bean dregs. The bean dregs were sold cheaply, and poor people who had no food to eat could come and buy the bean dregs and take them home to fill their stomachs, so many people came to buy them.
The money from selling bean dregs is enough to buy firewood.
If bean dregs are piled together for a long time, they will ferment, become sour and smelly, and it will be a waste if not handled in time.
It’s just right to sell it to poor families at a lower price.
Sometimes, more people come to Lao Zhou’s house to buy bean dregs than tofu.
When times are good, people with spare money will buy tofu, which is vegetarian meat and a good thing to show to relatives and friends.
If you don’t have money, you can come here and buy bean dregs, then heat them up and eat them.
…
Anyway, everything is ready, and Lao Zhou's tofu shop is starting to get on track.
If Xu's Company's orders increase, the tofu shop will be able to take them all.

Besides, Lin's mother and the others went home cursing.
Mother Lin was beaten by Mrs. Zhou. She failed to cheat and failed to win the scolding. She was in a very unhappy mood.
Lying on the bed, I thought about it over and over again, but I still couldn't accept it.
She asked her eldest son to call back Third Sister Lin.
Third Sister Lin had been embroidering day and night recently, and her eyes had turned black from all the work. When she heard that her mother was ill, she hurried home.
He couldn't see the road clearly and fell on the threshold, getting a bruised face and nose.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Mother Lin got angry when she saw her horrible appearance.
"Look at yourself. You are only two or three years older than your fourth sister. She is living a life of luxury in Old Zhou's house and is very pretty. But you are almost as old as your mother. How can you be so useless?"
Third Sister Lin was not annoyed. "Mom, please don't be angry. I heard what my eldest brother said about Fourth Sister. Fourth Sister is too unreasonable. But Fourth Sister was not such a person before. Is there a misunderstanding?"
Lin's mother gets angry whenever she mentions Lin Shiqi.
"Misunderstanding? Last time she came back to her parents' home, she brought back a few pieces of broken steamed bread leftovers for me to eat. I said a few words to her, and she held a grudge against me. Now she has turned against me! I don't know why I gave birth to her? Giving birth to her would only make me angry to death. She is an ungrateful, conscienceless bad thing with a rotten heart and a rotten intestine..."
After scolding Lin Shiqi, he scolded Mrs. Zhou, "The Zhou family is such a piece of shit. They married my good daughter to them as a daughter-in-law, saying that she was bought back. My daughter is so valuable and can make so much money, but they bought her back with just five taels of silver? A child bride is not a daughter-in-law! A living person is born by parents, not squeezed out of a tree hole. How shameless!"
"That old Zhou woman is still taking advantage of her age. She is really a piece of shit. She hit me and I fought back and she fell to the ground. They all said she was old and had heart problems. She is only ten years older than me. I also have a lot of problems. Who would pity me? The people in Taohua Village were also bought off by the Zhou family. They all speak for their family and are unreasonable. The village is corrupt. They are all snakes and rats. None of them are good."
"And that Si Zhou Si, he used to be a fool and looked very pitiful, but now he is no longer a fool, but he is a very bad person. It is better for him to remain a fool. God is blind, how could he allow such a conscienceless person to recover..."
"Also, Seventeen picked up a dumb girl outside and brought her home as his daughter. She was a money-loser, but he even gave her fine clothes. But when it came to me, his own mother, he turned his face against me. You haven't been to Old Zhou's house to see how magnificent their new house is. I don't know how much silver they spent on it. They even have a big carriage with two horses! Your fourth sister has made a lot of money for their family, but I only asked for fifty silver taels. They said they would go to the government office to sue me for extortion. What a lie!"
…
Third Sister Lin listened to her words carefully.
"Mom, don't be angry. I'll go to Old Zhou's house and persuade Fourth Sister. Fourth Sister is always a person who listens to advice."
"Okay, go and talk to her. Teach her a lesson."

It’s really nice to live in a new house.
Not to mention anything else, at night I was no longer in the same courtyard as Mrs. Zhou and the others. After locking the door connecting the two houses, I formed an independent small courtyard that outsiders could not enter.
The safety factor has been greatly enhanced.
It was much more convenient for Lin Shiqi and Zhou Lang to return to the Heart Lock Space.
The two of them can stay in the concentric lock space for a longer time without worrying about being discovered.
"Zhou Lang, have you noticed? Our love locks don't seem as worn out as before?"
Lin Shiqi held her half, feeling familiar yet a little unfamiliar.
Zhou Lang said, "It has become more effective. It may be because I use it frequently."
They come in once every night.
Take a shower, change clothes, wash clothes in the washing machine, plant vegetables and fruits on the terrace, read a book, and eat something.
Take a break.
"It looks like it has a lot of energy. Let's try to spend the night in the lock to see if we will be ejected."
Zhou Lang frowned.
Two people spent the night in the Tongxinsuo space, each with a room.
Lin Shiqi slept in her master bedroom and Zhou Lang slept in his study.
Although sleeping in a concentric lock space has a more suitable temperature and a more comfortable latex mattress, but...
"What's the point of wasting so much energy for nothing?"
Lin Shiqi heard that he was unhappy, but he didn't insist.
"Forget it, if you don't want to stay overnight, then don't. Anyway, the new bed and new bedding are nice and soft! I bought them specially so that we don't have to return the duvet and blanket like thieves every morning..."
The new bedding is made of new cotton and is very warm, not as thick and heavy as the old quilts.
It can also be used together.
"Yeah." Zhou Lang was satisfied seeing that she didn't insist.
Lin Shiqi opened the messy refrigerator and said, "Everything is going in a good direction, except that the food in the refrigerator is empty and there is no way to replenish it. I can grow fruits and vegetables on the terrace, but there is no source of snacks, meat and eggs. It would be great if I could replenish them one day..."
If you don't replenish it, you will end up eating up all the resources.
Zhou Lang thought for a moment, "Maybe there's a chance. When the energy of the Heart Lock becomes stronger and stronger..."
Lin Shiqi was curious, "Then how can we make the energy of the Heart Lock more and more sufficient?"
Zhou Lang said, "Time. The longer we spend together, the more energy we should have."
Lin Shiqi's eyes lit up, "Yes, time! That seems to be the case. The first time we went in, we came out in a moment. Later, as time went by, we could stay longer and longer. But how long does it take for the Concentric Lock to be fully charged?"
