She had only taken two steps into the courtyard when someone grabbed her sleeve.
Turning her head, she saw Jiang Yao looking at her timidly.
"Mom, let me talk to my cousin. I have something else to say to you later."
After saying hello, she walked towards an empty corner.
"What do you want from me?"
"Ahhh——" Jiang Yao suppressed the fear in her heart, pointed to her mouth, and clasped her hands together in worship.
Jiang Huaixu looked at her and she seemed sincere.
"Want an antidote?"
Jiang Yao nodded expectantly.
"When I'm in a good mood one day, I might give it to you. Not now." Jiang Huaixu smiled lightly, "Cousin, if the experience is not profound, you won't remember it."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Behind her, Jiang Yao was so angry that she wanted to stomp her feet. She raised her foot and lowered it much more gently. After she stopped, she looked at Jiang Huaixu. Seeing that Jiang Huaixu didn't notice her, she let out a breath and left with a frustrated look on her face.
Knowing that her daughter wanted to tell her something, Qian Xiuzhu thought of many possibilities. The more she thought, the colder her heart became. When she saw her daughter come back, she couldn't wait to ask, "Did something happen?"
"Mom, don't scare yourself. It's not a big deal." She looked at the villagers doing carpentry work in the yard and asked, "Where's my second brother?"
"He was here just now, but now I don't know where he has gone."
Jiang Huaixu pulled Qian Xiuzhu into the house, closed the door, and then said, "Mom, there are a few things I want to discuss with you.

"Grinding stone? Bed?" Qian Xiuzhu was stunned. "Who would bring these with them when fleeing famine?"
Jiang Huaixu felt a little embarrassed. When she searched the rich house, she found these broken things, and the bed was even missing a leg.
"I think we have plenty of room to sleep in this house. We might as well take out that bed and use it as firewood. The millstone is very useful. That's the second thing I want to say."
Jiang Huaixu said seriously, "Mom, I went to the county town today and saw that there was only one tofu stall. I can make tofu, and I need a grinding stone for making tofu."
"You want to make tofu?"
Jiang Huaixu nodded.
Qian Xiuzhu thought for a moment and said, "That tofu vendor must have been around for a long time. The whole of Beichuan County recognizes them. How can we possibly snatch them away?"
