There was obvious expectation in Zhu Xiaoxue's eyes when she looked at Su Liuer, which made Su Liuer even more unhappy. She felt that he had the nerve to set his sights on a dead person.
"That man gave me money, but I asked him to take it back, so I don't have five taels of silver to give you. Your mother is not my mother, so I won't pay for her medicine."
I, Su Liuer, lost the patience to say another word to Zhu Xiaoxue, so I quickly walked away after saying this.
Zhu Xiaoxue stared at Su Liuer's back in a daze, her expression complicated. She had someone take back the twenty taels of silver? Could that be true?

After Su Liuer returned to the shop, she fried the red beans first. There was no time to soak them, so she had to put the red beans in the pot and fry them until they smoked. Then she added an appropriate amount of water, stir-fried them until the water dried up, and then added a large amount of water to cook them.
Mung beans are easier to cook than red beans, so she put them aside to soak.
Just now, on her way to buy beans, she went to see Old Ginger. As soon as she cooked the red beans, Old Ginger's apprentice came over to set up a new stove.
This apprentice was the one from Shangyou Village. As soon as he saw Su Liuer, he smiled at her innocently.
"Madam Su, my skill in building a stove is the best among my fellow apprentices!" He was not bragging, because his master was a carpenter, and not many people studied the job of building a stove. He was clumsy and not very good at delicate work, but he was the best at building a stove.
Su Liuer originally went to see Old Jiangtou with the idea of giving it a try, but she didn't expect that this carpenter could also make stoves.
Seeing the man's confidence, she smiled and said, "Thank you in advance for coming to work in the middle of the day."
"Hey, I don't have anything else to do anyway. Master said we shouldn't delay when we can make money. If we delay, the money might just disappear." Then he went outside to move bricks. Su Liu'er told Mrs. Wang to take a nap while she watched the red beans in the pot. Dali and Xiaoli were interested in starting the stove and helped out.
Sitting on the small stool in front of the stove, you can smell the smell of burning firewood and the faint fragrance of red beans.
In my ears were the curious questions of Dali and Xiaoli, as well as the chirping of cicadas coming from some tree outside the yard.
Even in such a noisy situation, Su Liuer felt particularly peaceful in her heart. These sounds were much more pleasant than the sounds of gunfire.

Su Liuer from Qingxi Town is happily enjoying the daily life.
But Jing Qingrong from Guangling City was very depressed.
"Mom, I really haven't planned to get married yet!" He lay on the table with a look of despair on his face, closing his eyes and refusing to look at the portraits.
What's so good about the portrait? He may not have seen all the ladies of his age in Guangling City, but he has seen most of them.
What you haven't seen may be shameful, otherwise which noble lady wouldn't show up at major banquets to show off?
These women have nothing to do all day and are just competing with each other. Isn't it just to have a better reputation so that they can choose a better husband's family?
Jing Qingrong felt that these so-called noble ladies were always boring and hypocritical!
She is not as lively and interesting as Su Liuer, a village woman.
"Brother! Mother is talking to you!" Jing Qingrong was pushed by the girl next to him.
Jing Qingrong opened his eyes unhappily and glared at him, "If you want to get married, then go ahead, but I don't want to!" He is still so young, there are still many places he hasn't been to and many things he hasn't done!
The girl frowned at being glared at, then her eyes lit up and she said to Jing Qingrong, "You don't even look down on so many beautiful ladies. Did you find someone you love while you were traveling?!"
