She wanted to set up a stove in her room. Just when she was about to do it, Su Ping'an came in from outside and said, "Madam, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to steam these camellias first, then dry them and use them as medicine!"
"I'm asking why you don't do it on our stove instead of going inside the house to build a stove?"
Su Pingan asked puzzledly.
Tang Xiaoman told Su Pingan what happened just now. To be honest, Tang Xiaoman didn't say anything bad about Su Xiuer. However, she also stated the facts truthfully. After all, she is not the kind of person who likes to sow discord.
"I'll go talk to her!"
Su Ping'an quit, saying that his wife wasted firewood. Didn't she cut all the firewood back by herself?
"Goodbye, if you go, you will have to quarrel, and then the conflict at home will be even greater! Help me build this stove, I don't want to quarrel with them anymore!"
In fact, this was fine. Under Tang Xiaoman's command, Su Ping'an quickly built a new stove.
Su Pingan went out for a while, brought some firewood to Tang Xiaoman, and then said to her: "You can use these firewood first, and I will go to the mountain to get more firewood tomorrow!"
Tang Xiaoman was really grateful to Su Pingan. Thinking that he had always been so supportive of her, she stood up and kissed Su Pingan hard on the face, which made Su Pingan blush.
At this time, Su Pingan felt as if he had fallen in love.
I don't know how to put it, although he and Tang Xiaoman have been married for a long time, he has never felt that kind of love.
That kind of heartbeat has never belonged to him.
In fact, the effect of this camellia is very powerful. It seems that Baihua Village deserves its name. It is estimated that other flowers will appear here depending on the season. By then, all of them can be used as medicine. Even in this dynasty, some other medicinal materials with unknown medicinal value may be wasted.
Fortunately, Xiaoman studied medicine before. While she was busy drying the steamed camellias, she was thinking about how comfortable those silver coins were about to fly toward her!
But Tang Xiaoman gave her such a feeling.
Suddenly a voice came, "Sister-in-law! Are you busy?"
Tang Xiaoman followed the voice and looked over. It was a very elegant boy dressed as a scholar.
Tang Xiaoman didn't recognize this person. Su Ping'an walked out and looked at him, "Brother, are you back?"
It turns out that this is the legendary talented man from the Su family, Su Ping'an's youngest brother Su Bingcheng.
Su Bingcheng has been studying in the town, but he will come back home every ten days.
But this time I don’t know why I came back early, “Hello, brother! I have some things to do, so I’m going to stay for a while and leave soon!”
Su Ping'an looked very happy and asked Tang Xiaoman to continue cooking her best dish at noon, stir-fried cabbage with white mushrooms.
But because Su Ping'an was so happy, Tang Xiaoman wasn't going to tell him that in fact, when Su Bingcheng came in just now, his attitude towards him was extremely arrogant and rude.
Logically speaking, this scholar should be very humble and polite, but seeing him being rude in the end made Tang Xiaoman feel very uncomfortable.
But it was because Su Bingcheng came back early that the Su family fell into a happy atmosphere. Mrs. Wang was very happy. She brought a big piece of beef that she was usually reluctant to eat, and also took out the eggs. She was so stingy. At home, so many delicious foods can be brought out at once.
This really made Tang Xiaoman not expect that all these ingredients were placed in the kitchen and asked Tang Xiaoman to cook a delicious meal.
Looking at these dishes, Tang Xiaoman said to his heart that he had been here for so many days, but he had never seen the Su family bring out so many good dishes, and they brought out so many at once.
What does it mean? This guy named Su Bingcheng is indeed an important figure in the family. This made Tang Xiaoman feel that the Su family was not as poor as it seemed!
Tang Xiaoman started working in the kitchen, and Liu and Xiao Taohua came over to help.
This meal was almost like a Chinese New Year meal. In fact, everyone was very happy and satisfied.
After all, what they usually eat is too vegetarian, and they have never even tasted meat.
It's just that during the meal this time, the boss's daughter-in-law, Ms. Zhao, was still showing her temper and didn't come over.
But that kind of woman didn't deserve sympathy at all, so after everyone finished eating, Tang Xiaoman started clearing away the dishes in the kitchen.
Little Taohua is very sensible and comes to help her little aunt in the work.
"What one tael of silver?"
This exclamation came from the room in the main hall. Mrs. Wang looked at Su Bingcheng in front of her with a look of disbelief.
"You said you want one tael of silver as a social fee to get through to those people?"
But speaking of it, this was indeed what Su Bingcheng meant. After he came back, he had no good intentions and just came here to get money.
In this day and age, one tael of silver was probably enough for the family to earn a year's income.
This is simply a lion's mouth, but doesn't he just want to go out and take the exam to become a scholar? What to do with so much money? It's really puzzling.
Tang Xiaoman had already heard the general idea in the kitchen. In fact, under normal circumstances, it doesn't cost much to go out to a restaurant for a drink, about a hundred pence.
However, this matter had nothing to do with Tang Xiaoman. After she put away the dishes in the kitchen, she went to dry her camellias.
At this time, seeing Su Ping'an walking out of the house with a sad face, Xiaoman asked him, "What's wrong with you?"
"Bingcheng said we needed one tael of silver, but now our whole family only has ten cents left. For the rest, mother said, let the few of us come together!"
Tang Xiaoman felt very speechless when he heard this. He really didn't expect that this old lady Wang was really speechless.
Tang Xiaoman saw her husband Su Ping'an looking so worried. When she was about to comfort him with a few words, she suddenly heard a quarrel coming from the eldest daughter-in-law Zhao's house.
"You ask me for money, but I don't know who to ask for it from?"
Zhao was already furious. Although she had a loud voice, she soon heard the boss of the Su family beat her until she lost her voice.
It seems that the fist can still talk, but it has attracted a lot of neighbors to come over and make irresponsible remarks. It seems that they all come to watch the fun.
Mrs. Zhao ignored it and started fighting with the Su family boss in the yard. It was so noisy that all the neighbors came over to watch the fun.
