"I don't expect that, just don't bully my grandson." Women, as long as they can take good care of the family, that's enough. Spend more when you have money and less when you don't. That's how generations have always lived.
Mo Yan: "..."
"Mom, please stop bullying the three girls."
“How did I bully them? That’s how I grew up. Their mothers made a big fuss over nothing and would beat them to please me. What could I say?”
She doesn't even care about her own daughter, so why should I?
She wasn't the type to hit children, she just liked to scold them a bit.
Every child gets scolded, so why are they so precious?
Their own mother doesn't care about them and likes to beat them all the time. What can she do?
The three little girls were saddened to hear this. Their mother always said that as long as she hit them, their grandmother would not be angry, and she always hit them very hard.
The old lady was right. If she didn't care about her daughter, who else would?
"So you're just going to watch?" Mo Yan said helplessly. "You don't even know how to say something."
"What else? She wants to prove her worth by hitting her child, and she wants to be happy in this way. What does that have to do with me? It's not my child, so I won't feel sorry for her."
"Tao Zhengyi wasn't your son either."
“That’s my grandson!” the old lady said matter-of-factly. “He’s my grandson, and he’ll always be my grandson. He’ll take care of me at home and stay with me forever. Will those girls do that? They’ll grow up and get married. Their hearts will only be with their in-laws, and they won’t have me anymore. So why should I waste my feelings on them?”
This isn't about whether the girl is filial or not; this is reality.
"Grandma, we will take care of you."
"Grandma, we will take good care of you."
The three little girls quickly spoke up, wanting to prove their determination to their grandmother.
“You really don’t need to do this. I’m talking about reality. It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just that life isn’t easy. You’re married now and have your own family. You’ll have to take care of your own family members from now on. You have your own lives to live and can’t just leave whenever you want.”
Don't blame me for favoring Xiao Bao, I..."
The more the old lady talked, the more she felt that what she said made sense. She wasn't sexist; she just saw the essence of the matter.
"Mom, if you're being biased, just admit it. Don't make excuses, okay? It's like nobody else knows."
However, what the old lady said was true. "Da Ya, Er Ya, San Ya, what your grandma said is also true. No matter whether you are filial or not, you should take good care of your family. That's right."
However, as long as you are excellent, you will be able to balance family and work. I believe you can do it. Let's not talk about anything else; just focus on your work and understand.
"Yes, yes, Auntie, we will definitely try our best." They kept nodding. They would definitely work hard and prove to their grandmother that they would not be unfilial in the future.
"Alright, let's continue picking beans."
Seeing Mo Yan's gentle demeanor, the old lady became unhappy. "You're so gentle, I've never seen you so gentle with my grandson."
“If everyone is kind to him, he will be on top of the world.”
old lady:"……"
After filtering the soy milk, a lot of soy pulp was left behind.
Mo Yan saved the soybean dregs; they could be used to make fermented black beans or soybean dregs cakes, or even used to feed pigs and chickens.
"Such good soybean pulp, and you filtered it all. Otherwise, you could have made so much more tofu." The old lady looked at the soybean pulp with great regret.
"Don't worry, I won't waste what I have. You guys use bowls to scoop some soy milk to drink, and I'll start making tofu pudding with the rest."
Mo Yan took out plaster powder [I don't know about other places, but this is what I use here, and there's another kind of rock powder.], and the old lady was stunned when she saw it.
"What is this? This can't be used!" The old lady had never seen plaster powder used to make tofu before.
"My hometown uses this method, so don't worry, there won't be any problems. Just because you don't know it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The world is full of wonders, and just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
You can't question what someone says just because you haven't seen it. If you don't know, it just means you haven't seen it and you're not from the same place.
The names and expressions vary from place to place.
"Alright, you give it a try." The old lady finally understood that she could never win against this daughter-in-law.
"But do you remember where you're from?" The old lady looked at her curiously, wondering where this girl had fallen from.
"No, I just remembered it."
old lady:"……"
Mo Yan quickly ordered tofu pudding, which solidified quickly and looked very appealing.
"Would you like tofu pudding for lunch? I'll make it for you, okay? How would you like it?"
Mo Yan scooped some out and set it aside. She wrapped the rest in a cloth again, placed a large, washed stone on top, and the water in the tofu slowly seeped out, leaving only tofu.
There are also firm tofu, soft tofu, corn tofu, peanut tofu, and so on. No rush, Mo Yan plans to make a little of each and sell them tomorrow.
For lunch, we had tofu rice. To make it easier for Mo Yan, she simply put in oil, ginger, and garlic, then added fermented bean paste, and finally tofu. Not a drop of water was used.
Finally, add chopped green onions, and your delicious tofu pudding is ready. You can also eat it directly as tofu pudding rice, or make a dipping sauce dish and dip the tofu pudding in it.
To be honest, the two flavors are different, but I could eat two bowls of rice with just this tofu pudding!
Not to mention the four children, even the old lady ate two big bowls. The taste was really delicious, delicate, not sour, and tasted especially good.
This daughter-in-law's idea is really good; maybe it will actually sell.
"I tried it, and it tastes alright. I think it's pretty good. I'll try it tomorrow."
"There are others too, but the tofu hasn't come out yet."
After lunch, they continued making tofu, making five batches in total. They ate tofu for dinner and invited their sister-in-law over as well.
When the eldest sister-in-law came over and saw Tao Zhengyi helping, she grabbed a stick from the side and prepared to beat the three girls.
"Sister-in-law, this is my home. What are you doing?"
"They actually made Xiaobao do chores. Shouldn't he be beaten? If you don't discipline him for three days, he'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles."
Mo Yan was speechless. She felt that her sister-in-law was just making up an excuse to beat up the three girls.
“My little Bao is just being filial and helping with chores. What nonsense are you spouting? If you want to hit your daughter, you can’t find another reason. Don’t ruin my grandson’s reputation.”
After the old lady finished speaking, Mo Yan had a feeling that she knew it. She thought to herself, how could the old lady possibly speak up for three little girls?
However, the eldest sister-in-law still dared not disobey the old lady, but she glared at them fiercely.
Pan-fried tofu, Mapo tofu, and tofu pudding—each one is exceptionally delicious.
