She concealed her thoughts and softened her voice, "Auntie Su, this mushroom sauce is made at your home. After it's made, put it in a jar and seal it well. It can be kept for half a year. So, we can sell these within half a year without any problem."

Aunt Su's mind was sometimes clear and sometimes confused, because she had never been involved in such a thing. She had the final say in family affairs, but she didn't understand a lot of things outside. Suddenly, she asked worriedly, "Xiaoxi, have you decided where to sell it? How do you sell it? Doing business is not that easy."

"Don't worry, Aunt Su, I know what I'm doing."

The mushroom sauce she made must be the best. It was a special recipe that the kind-hearted old chef taught her secretly. It might not be uncommon ten years later, but it is definitely the best now.

So, Shen Mingxi is confident.

Aunt Su nodded and pondered for a moment before she remembered the most important thing. She hurriedly said, "Xiaoxi, I know your family situation. Even if you split up, your cruel grandparents probably won't give you even a straw stick. I bet on that. So this money is very important to you. Besides, I didn't do anything but provide a place. I don't want a penny from you. I know Xiaoxi's intentions. When the mushroom sauce is ready, just give it to me to taste..."

Without waiting for Shen Mingxi to speak, she asked again, "This mushroom sauce must be made with soybean paste. Is our farm soybean paste okay? If it's okay, I have a jar here. You can use whatever you want."

"Auntie..." Shen Mingxi looked at the elder in front of him with tears in his eyes.

In fact, their family and Aunt Su's family are just ordinary neighbors.

But they are thousands of times better than those so-called relatives.

"Why are you crying, little girl? I feel bad when you cry." Aunt Su quickly wiped away Shen Mingxi's tears and said, "Xiaoxi, don't be so formal with me. I know you are smart and sensible. I won't hide it from you. I think your second brother is a good person. I really want him to be my son-in-law. If we really get married, we will be one family. Your business is my business. If the mushroom sauce really sells for money, don't spend a penny of it. Use it to buy a homestead and build a house. Even if you build a mud and thatched house, it will cost a lot of money."

"... Auntie, I know your intentions. I also know that you have been taking care of us over the years. If nothing else, you have always brought us food. Because of this, I can't do that. Besides, maybe I will need your help in the future. If you refuse, I really can't open my mouth."

After a pause, Shen Mingxi saw that Aunt Su was still unhappy, and continued, "Auntie, let's put it this way. I'll give you 40% of the money from the sale. No matter what, you will bear the title alone. If you don't want anything, I will feel bad."

Aunt Su changed her mind and although she didn't know whether the mushroom sauce could be sold for money, she still wanted to accompany Xiaoxi to give it a try. Moreover, even if she made money, she would leave the money for her daughter Xiaojuan.

She nodded and said in a tone that could not be refuted, "One percent, that's one percent, Xiaoxi, don't argue with me. By the way, if you need any sauce, I'll go get it now."

Shen Mingxi wanted to hold on, but when he saw Aunt Su's look, he gave up. However, a little warmth rose in his heart, "Auntie, I need bean paste."

"I really don't have that." Aunt Su said regretfully.

"Auntie, Grandma Mu has it. When you go to Grandma Mu's house, just tell her you want to buy her bean paste. That way, my grandma and the others won't dare to cause trouble for Grandma Mu."

Shen Mingxi was well prepared.

"Okay, leave it to me."

Aunt Su happily agreed.

Before leaving, Shen Mingxi smiled and said in a friendly tone, "Auntie, we like Sister Xiaojuan too..."

She didn't need to say anything else, Aunt Su was already beaming with joy.

Shen Mingxi returned home carrying an empty basket.

Today it was Chen Li's turn to cook, but there was no smell of stew.

It was rare that Old Mrs. Shen was not in the kitchen. She sat cross-legged on the kang with the window open. She looked at Shen Mingxi who walked into the yard with gloomy eyes. She opened her mouth, but closed it unwillingly.

Because Shen Mingxi didn't even look at her and went to the thatched house.

At this time, the eldest brother also came back.

After learning about Shen Mingxi's idea, everyone strongly supported it, but Shen Jiawen hesitated and said, "Xiaoxi, will this cause trouble for Aunt Su's family?"

Shen Qingshan said proudly, "It's okay. Aunt Su is so kind to us. I won't let grandma bully others. Besides..."

He pointed in the direction of the main house and said in a low voice with disdain, "She is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. She doesn't dare to cause trouble for Aunt Su. Not to mention others, Third Su can't get away from her!"

Shen Mingxi was also aware of this; Third Brother Su was a filial son.

But I didn't expect that my second brother didn't shy away from it at all. Yes, at this time, my second brother was still a young boy who didn't know much! Shen Yu, who was standing by, checked the homework he had given to his youngest son Goudan yesterday. Although he didn't say anything, his expression was gentle.

Shen Mingxi came over and asked with a smile, "Dad, you don't regret dividing the family, do you?"

Shen Yu raised his head and glanced at his daughter with amusement. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, Xiaoxi had grown into a graceful young lady.

Thinking of the past, his eyes became deep.

Although he is filial, he is not to the point of risking his life for filial piety. However, there seems to be an invisible thread controlling him, making him do things that are almost against his nature.

On the day he was injured, his mind suddenly became clear, as if the past ten years had been like living in a muddled dream.

It even made him lose the ability to think.

Every time he thought about it now, he broke out in a cold sweat! He looked at his daughter in front of him, feeling extremely ashamed!

If he had persisted back then, perhaps his eldest son would have been admitted to university. Xiaoxi is so smart that it would have been no problem for him to go to the best high school in the county.

But what about him...

He is not worthy of being a father! Shen Mingxi watched Shen Yu's face change from time to time. She was stunned. Did her father regret it?

Shen Qingshan was anxious and blurted out, "Dad, please say something. Are you going to regret it?"

At this time, Shen Mingxi saw the pain and self-blame in Shen Yu's eyes, and she understood instantly. She rolled her eyes at Shen Qingshan and said, "Second brother, why are you talking so loudly? Our father has not regretted it."

Don't worry, we will separate soon.
