Chapter 19 Wild Sugarcane Forest

This rouge must be sold no matter what!

"Yes, let's go tomorrow! Bring some food to Wenxuan by the way. Mom, can you make some brown sugar cake?" Nian Huayue doesn't make requests easily.

But since such a great thing had happened to her, she felt that this was not too much to ask.

Mrs. Liang agreed readily.

It's just a brown sugar cake, what's the big deal?

After dinner, Mrs. Liang started to prepare brown sugar cake.

There was still half a can of brown sugar left that Liang Huanxue gave her. After all calculations were made, it was only enough for her to make three batches of brown sugar cakes.

If everyone didn't like it, she wouldn't make a pot of it every once in a while.

Brown sugar is hard to come by, so it’s better to use it sparingly in the future.

Thinking of this, I became more reserved when pouring the brown sugar and didn't put as much as before.

"Grandma, if you only put this little in, it might not taste good." Liang Huanxue saw that she was reluctant to do so, so she grabbed her hand and shook it, shaking out a lot of brown sugar from the jar.

"Xue'er, you know how rare this brown sugar is!" Old Mrs. Liang reached out to put the brown sugar that had been shaken out back.

"Grandma, don't worry about not having it in the future. This brown sugar is made from sugar cane. I went up the mountain that day and saw a small sugar cane forest. When the sugar cane is ripe, we can chop it and make a lot of brown sugar!"

Liang Huanxue did not lie. She went up the mountain to pick flowers that day and did see a wild sugarcane forest on the way.

However, the sugarcanes in the forest were short and thin, and it was obvious at a glance that they had little juice, let alone making brown sugar.

Fortunately, there is still some time before the sugarcane matures. As long as she takes good care of it during this time, there is no need to worry about the sugarcane not growing well.

When the sugarcane is ripe, cut it and make brown sugar. You can eat brown sugar cake every day from now on!

"Xue'er, you have a very good eye! But, what does sugarcane look like?" Old Mrs. Liang only knew about brown sugar but had never seen sugarcane.

So I don’t know what sugarcane looks like.

"It's tall and thin, with black skin and a layer of leaves wrapped around it. Grandma, you'll know next time I take you to see it." Liang Huanxue felt that it would be better to see it with her own eyes than to hear her say it.

Her ability of description was not enough to allow Mrs. Liang to imagine what sugarcane looked like.

"Okay, take me to see it someday. I'll make the brown sugar cake first and give it to Wenxuan tomorrow. Who would have thought that our Liang family would produce a shopkeeper?" Old Mrs. Liang smiled happily and grabbed some brown sugar from the jar and sprinkled it on.

I'm just about to use up the entire half jar.

Fortunately, Liang Huanxue persuaded her, saying that it would still take several months for the sugarcane to mature, and asked her not to rush to use up all the brown sugar.

A whole pot of sweet brown sugar cake was steamed, covered with a cloth, and placed in the kitchen.

But when I checked the next morning, half of them were gone!

"Who did it?"

"I saw my second aunt standing at the door last night, and my mouth was watering." Liang Huanxue did not explicitly say that Liu Chunhua was the one who stole the brown sugar cake.

But the intention behind this statement is very obvious.

When they reached Liang Yuanshan's door, they happened to hear Liang Yuanshan ask, "Did you steal the brown sugar cake in the kitchen?"

Liu Chunhua slapped her thigh, her face full of grievance, "How did you accuse me of cheating? When did I steal the brown sugar cake?"

"When I got up this morning, half of the brown sugar cakes in the kitchen were missing. Who else could have done this if not you?" Liang Yuanshan really couldn't think of who else in the family, besides his wife, would do such a thing.

Liu Chunhua's tears immediately fell out, and she gestured with her hands, "Mom made a full pot, and half of it was missing, isn't that a lot missing? Even if I can eat a lot, I'm not a pig, how can I eat so much?

Besides, you saw me stealing with your own eyes? I was lying next to you, if I really went out, would you not feel it?"

Liang Yuanshan has always been a light sleeper, and Liu Chunhua is fat, so the bed makes noises when she turns over.

Moreover, he could still hear her stomach growling with hunger.

If I really got up in the middle of the night and ate so many brown sugar cakes, how could I be so hungry?

Liu Chunhua caught a glimpse of the person at the door from the corner of her eye and cried even more sadly, "I finally understand that no matter what bad things happen in this family, they will be blamed on me. I have really suffered enough of this injustice!"

"Aunt, why are you crying? What grievances have you suffered? Who has wronged you?" Liang Huanxue walked into the house and asked with pretended curiosity, but her eyes were constantly searching around.

Liu Chunhua definitely couldn’t finish half a pot of brown sugar cake, so she had to leave some for later.

But there was no sweet smell of brown sugar cake in this room.

And Liu Chunhua's reaction was also very strange.

If she was really wronged, she would have been furious and thrown into the air. Why would she curl up in her uncle's arms and cry?

"How dare you ask? Didn't you say that I stole and ate half a pot of brown sugar cake?" Liu Chunhua cried even harder.

"Aunt, I didn't say that!" Liang Huanxue pouted, looking even more aggrieved than Liu Chunhua.

She just hinted and didn't say it directly, but how did Liu Chunhua know?

Could it be that she was just eavesdropping somewhere?

That's even more strange. Normally, she wouldn't get up even if the sun was shining on her butt. Why did she get up so early today?

Don’t say it was because she heard the noise in the kitchen. Even if there was a thunder explosion in the sky, she would lie in bed without moving.

Liang Huanxue felt that the brown sugar cake was most likely stolen by Liu Chunhua.

But she didn't eat it, she hid it.

That's why there is no trace of brown sugar cake in this room.

But what is her purpose in doing this?

"You didn't say it? You didn't say it explicitly, but what you meant was that I stole it, didn't I? I don't know how I have wronged you to deserve such accusation."

Liang Huanxue felt uncomfortable seeing Liu Chunhua's pretentious look.

She is in this state, and she still wants to pretend to be a white lotus?

You also need the capital of white lotus!

"You said she stole the brown sugar cake. Do you have any evidence?" Liang Yuanshan couldn't help but speak.

It was obvious that Liang Yuanshan had already believed that she was not the one who stole the brown sugar cake. Looking at the whole family standing at the door, wanting to catch the "real culprit", how could he not feel heartbroken?

Liang Huanxue was just hesitating whether to apologize when she saw Liang Yuanshan stand up and open all the cabinets and drawers in the room, almost lifting up the bed.

"There's half a pot of brown sugar cake. We can't finish it. We have to hide it. Can you guys see if there's any hidden in this room?"

Looking at him like this, he is really angry.

Liang Huanxue was now sure that the brown sugar cake was not hidden in the room.

But this does not mean that Liu Chunhua is innocent.

Liang Huanxue caught a bug from the space.

That was no ordinary bug, but one she had specially trained. It had a keen sense of smell and could help her find lost objects.
