Chapter 567: Encountering a Troublesome Person at the Corner
Su Nuan took a few steps back uncomfortably. Was her reputation really that bad? Why did everyone who saw her act like they had seen a ghost?
The smile on Xue's face froze and gradually disappeared.
Aunt Feng suddenly rushed in front of Su Nuan, looked her up and down, and after confirming that it was Su Nuan, she grinned.
Su Nuan was confused by this sudden enthusiasm and asked tentatively, "Auntie...is there something wrong?"
She paused, remembering her reputation outside, and added dryly, "Don't be afraid. I don't kill good people, nor do I beat anyone up."
Unexpectedly, Aunt Feng knelt down with a thud, and her knees hit the bluestone slab hard, which made Su Nuan's eyelids jump.
"My benefactor! I finally see you!" Aunt Feng raised her face, tears gleaming in her wrinkles, her voice trembling with emotion. "If you hadn't saved my grandson, he would have been sacrificed to the heaven by that witch."
A memory flashed through Su Nuan's mind, of the scene where a sacrifice to heaven was disrupted in the border town of the Northern Snow Country.
She helped Aunt Feng up and said with a smile, "It's just a small favor. Is your grandson okay? How are the other children? Anyone who has any difficulties can come to the City Lord's Mansion for help."
Aunt Feng said excitedly: "They are all fine, don't worry."
"Come quickly, my youngest son caught a few turtles today, you must take them back to nourish your body."
Su Nuan quickly shook her head, "No need, I'm here with my mother to buy fish. If it's free, we'll just turn around and leave."
Hearing that the children were all doing well, Su Nuan felt relieved. Ling Cang was truly a qualified manager.
The sound of children playing came from outside the door, and Su Nuan couldn't help but look out.
Several little kids with pigtails ran past the door chasing each other, their rosy faces filled with innocence and joy.
Their coarse clothes were patched but washed clean.
The corners of Su Nuan's mouth rose unconsciously. Being able to let the children run so carefree in these chaotic times was inseparable from Ling Cang's careful management.
She came to her senses and turned around to see Mrs. Xue and Aunt Feng chatting enthusiastically.
She was afraid that Aunt Feng would force her to give her something, so she didn't dare to say anything.
Su Nuan simply went to look at the large wooden basins in the shop. There were big carp in one basin, loach in another basin, river shrimp in another basin, river crab in another basin, and two turtles in another smaller bucket.
She suddenly wanted to eat it, and she thought it would be delicious if it was made spicy.
Xue saw Su Nuan squatting beside the bucket and immediately shouted, "Nuan Nuan, don't reach out. The turtle won't let go until it bites you to death."
Su Nuan immediately gave up teasing those two green-eyed girls, thinking that it would be better if her fingers were on her own body.
She stood up and smiled sheepishly, "These river shrimps and crabs can be made into fried snacks."
New knowledge talks about the importance of calcium supplementation, but there are no high-end pills in this era. It is okay to let children eat shrimp shells and crab shells.
Xue said, "Aunt Feng, please help me wash these and send them to the City Lord's Mansion. I really don't have the patience to wash them."
Aunt Feng immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't worry, I guarantee it will be clean."
Su Nuan remembered that there were boar bristle brushes in the space, so she took out two under the cover of her backpack, one large and one small.
"I happened to meet a caravan on my way out and saw this brush. Grandma Feng, take it and use it."
Aunt Feng took the brush and looked at it, then said with amazement and heartache, "Using such a delicate tool to clean river crabs? That's such a waste."
Su Nuan laughed, "I have some more here, but they are made of pig bristles. I can make more once I find a suitable craftsman."
Aunt Feng immediately said, "My old man and my eldest son are carpenters. I'll let them try."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, then I'll give you two more. You can open them and take a look when necessary."
Aunt Feng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pass these two on to them, and I won't give mine."
She held the two brushes Su Nuan gave her tightly in her arms as if they were rare treasures.
Su Nuan smiled slightly. She was very happy that the things she gave away were valued.
Xue smiled and said, "I still need to go buy some things, you guys go ahead and do your work."
After saying that, she pulled Su Nuan out of the shop.
Su Nuan asked in a low voice: "Mom, have you bought fish? Xiaoyun said she wanted to eat fish."
Xue nodded and said, "I bought it. I'll pay after it's delivered. I just paid the deposit."
She changed the subject, "If Xiaoyun wants to eat, let him cook it himself. You don't have to do it. You finally get home, so take a good rest."
Su Nuan smiled and shook her head, "He's been exhausted these past few days, so I'll cook today."
Xue looked at Su Nuan and wanted to say something, but then she thought, is Su Nuan starting to feel sorry for Xiaoyun?
So Xiaoyun already has a place in Su Nuan's heart and won't be despised?
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on her face, "Okay, I'll help you."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
The two chatted as they came to the pork shop.
Su Nuan glanced at the pig head on the table. It was a red-haired wild boar. Judging from its size, the pig weighed more than 300 pounds and was very fat.
As Xue approached, the fat uncle at the stall said with a big smile on his face, "You're here. Which part do you want today?"
Xue smiled and said, "My daughter-in-law is back. Please send the pig's trotters, offal and other things to the mansion."
The fat uncle's smile froze, and he asked weakly, "Why don't you cut some good meat?"
In the eyes of ordinary people, good meat is fat, followed by pork belly, and finally lean meat.
No one eats things like pig bones, offal, pig trotters and pig heads. People think it is not worth spending money on them. It is better to spend the money on buying a few pounds of fat meat to make some oil and cook.
Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "My daughter-in-law likes to eat these, and she makes braised meat that I wouldn't trade even if I were given five fingers of fat."
The fat uncle then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll pack it up and send it over."
Xue nodded, "Well, shave the pig hair clean."
"Okay." The fat uncle responded happily.
Su Nuan watched Xue greet and chat with people on the street, and she suddenly realized that all her efforts were not in vain.
Isn’t this kind of comfortable and happy life what you want now?
It turns out that in an ordinary alley, my family can safely carry the vegetable basket and say to the neighbors they have known for half a lifetime, "Today's pork is very fresh." This is the happiness I pursue.
Xue hadn't heard Su Nuan speak for a long time. When she turned around, she saw Su Nuan looking at her with a silly smile.
She couldn't help but ask, "Nuannuan, why are you looking at me like that? Is my face dirty?"
Su Nuan shook her head, "No, I just think my mother is so dazzling and beautiful now."
Xue's face flushed, and she said angrily, "How did you learn to flatter me, kid?"
Although she was complaining, she couldn't suppress the upturned corners of her mouth.
There is a saying that goes, "When the moon is full, it will wane." Xue, who was full of joy, turned around and met a bad person.
Su Nuan widened her eyes. Why was it him?
