"Auntie, besides vermicelli, does your family have any other skills?" Xu Mengyao asked with a smile.
“Other crafts…”
Upon hearing this, Zhao's mother muttered to herself, frowned slightly, and tried hard to recall.
Zhao Ping, who was sorting the tofu basket with her head down, raised her head and spoke crisply when she heard her mother's words:
"Mom, our family can also make tofu."
The little girl did not have the cold white skin of the countryside. She had a small cinnabar mole on the right side of her eyebrow, which added a bit of spirituality to her.
Xu Mengyao sighed in her heart: She is truly worthy of being the one who can make big brother fall in love.
Zhao's mother, however, disagreed with her daughter's words:
"Making tofu isn't a difficult skill. Many families in our village can make it."
Zhao Ping said seriously, "But the food we make is better than others."
When Xu Mengyao heard this, she had an idea in her mind.
"It's hard for us to carry tofu. Auntie, can you make dried tofu?"
She suggested that, after all, there were not many opportunities for Big Brother Hongshufen to meet Zhao Ping, so she should help Big Brother create more opportunities for them to meet, and the rest would depend on him to succeed.
When Zhao's mother heard this, she immediately smiled happily: "Of course I can't do it, that thing just takes a little more effort than tofu, I can make it if you want."
"Okay, then let's do as we said just now. We'll take whatever vermicelli your leftover sweet potatoes can make, and we'll take your dried tofu once a week. My eldest brother will be waiting for you at Boss Wang's restaurant then. Is that okay with you?"
After Xu Mengyao finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Laosi, waiting for his answer.
Zhao Laosi made the decision without even thinking about it.
"Okay! My second daughter will definitely deliver it on time."
After coming out of Zhao's house, Xu Mengyao couldn't help but ask the restaurant owner,
"The Zhao family also has sons, so why are the little girls always doing the work of bringing disaster?"
Wang Laowu heard this and shook his head, his face full of disapproval.
"His son is notorious for being lazy and gluttonous, and he's spoiled by Mr. and Mrs. Zhao. They married their eldest daughter to our village just so she could go back to her parents' home and work. Hey... the three daughters of the Zhao family are all excellent. What a pity..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Mengyao felt a deep sense of powerlessness towards this era's phenomenon of favoring boys over girls.
Huang Wenbin was also listening silently, seemingly thinking about something.
The two men gave the restaurant owner a reward for his hard work and then said goodbye and went home.
As soon as he got in the car, Huang Wenbin couldn't wait to speak: "Juan, you're amazing! But can we eat all the vermicelli and dried tofu? How are we going to tell our mom when we get home?"
Xu Mengyao turned her head to glance at Huang Wenbin with a playful smile on her lips.
"Hey, big brother, you only remember to ask now. I thought you were so engrossed in looking at the girl at the Zhao family just now that you almost lost your mind."
"It's not as exaggerated as you say."
Huang Wenbin blushed and said in an embarrassed way,
"You didn't ask me to cooperate with you, so naturally I can't refute anything you say."
"I wish you were this good at talking to girls."
Xu Mengyao smiled and patted Huang Wenbin on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, the fans will give the hair back to our driver, and the dried tofu will be given to Brother Hu and his team to add to the fried skewers menu. It will definitely be delicious."
Huang Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "So you've thought it all out. I'm relieved. But your brain works so fast! When did you come up with all this?"
"You are my brother after all, so who else should I help if not you? However, Zhao Ping is only 17 years old, younger than me. The legal marriage age is 20 years old for women." Xu Mengyao couldn't help but remind her.
Huang Wenbin scratched his head and said, "I didn't expect she was so young. At worst, I can wait for her for three years."
"That's great, you're as solid as a rock, brother. I can only wish you success." Xu Mengyao praised and applauded.
Perhaps he was too satisfied with his decision, Huang Wenbin kept singing and dancing to the music on the way back, not caring at all about the contemptuous looks from his sister.
The car stopped at the gate of the family compound. Huang Wenbin dropped the person off and went to deal with work matters.
However, Xu Mengyao had not taken a few steps after getting out of the car when she suddenly felt a strong force pulling her back.
She saw a man with an unshaven beard and bloodshot eyes standing in front of her angrily. The mixed smell of alcohol and sour food hit her in the face, making her feel a little suffocated.
"Where's Xiaomei! Where did you hide that girl?" the man roared.
Xu Mengyao recognized him as Xiaomei's father who had just been released from prison. She remained calm and spoke.
"Let me go first, otherwise if someone sees you and calls the police, you'll be arrested again."
When he heard the words "call the police", Zhang's father was indeed a little timid and let go of his hand.
"It's only natural for me to look for my daughter. The police can't arrest me," he argued.
"I'm not your daughter. You are harassing me. If you call the police, you will be arrested." Xu Mengyao deliberately emphasized her tone.
"You're talking nonsense! I've found out everything. That girl has lived in your house for several years and even got into college. Where is she? I've been waiting here for several days. Call her out quickly!" Father Zhang continued to roar.
"Since you have been here for several days, you must have figured out that no one is here. Otherwise, I would take you in to see." Xu Mengyao responded calmly.
"I won't go! You want someone to throw me out again! I won't bother her. The New Year is coming soon. Just ask her to give me some money to honor me." Zhang's father said arrogantly.
"She has no money." Xu Mengyao said bluntly.
"You still want to lie to me! You've already gone to Haicheng to attend university and you still say you have no money! If I force you, I'll go to your school to find her!" Zhang's father threatened.
Xu Mengyao was really afraid that he would do something that would embarrass Xiaomei, so she softened her tone a little:
