Blessed Peasant Woman of Time Traveling

Chapter 23

Li Lei's questioning like that is really a bit pretentious.

Before Ding Xiang could answer Li Lei's words, Zi Kui rushed to say, "Who is coming to see you? We are here to sell tofu."

"Sell... sell tofu?" Li Lei took a step forward, stretched out his hand and lifted the cloth covering the basket, "It's really tofu! Ding Xiang, when did you learn how to make tofu?"

Ding Xiang was in a hurry to sell tofu, so she didn't have the mood to chat with Li Lei, so she said, "I went to the county to learn it these two days. Zikui, let's go to Gaoling Village."

Li Lei tugged on Ding Xiang's sleeve, "You haven't gone in to sell in our Liling Village, why are you leaving?"

Ding Xiang pulled out her sleeve suddenly, "That..."

She couldn't find a reason for a while, when a middle-aged woman came over with a laundry basket, "Lei Zi, what are you doing here?"

When Li Lei turned around and saw that it was his mother, his face turned red, "Ding Xiang...she came to sell tofu. Mother, Ding Xiang is really capable. She learned how to make tofu after going to the county."

The middle-aged woman first looked at Lilac carefully, and nodded slightly, as if she was very satisfied, then she lifted the cloth and looked at the tofu, "Oh, this tofu looks so good, it makes people greedy just looking at it .Lei Zi, let’s buy a catty.”

Seeing that his mother was satisfied, Li Lei said excitedly: "Okay! Mom, why don't we...buy them all, so that Lilac won't be too burdened..."

Before the word "hard work" was said, Ding Xiang said, "No way! How can you eat so much, the tofu can't be kept for long."

Zikui winked at Dingxiang, thinking that it would be great if they bought them all, and you don't care if they can eat it or not.

Lilac only cut off a piece and weighed it, which was less than a catty. "This is four Wen."

Li Lei stuffed five pennies, and Ding Xiang put the extra penny into the middle-aged woman's hand, and said politely, "Thank you, auntie. Zikui, let's go to Gaoling Village."

Li Lei wanted to entangle him again, but he was too embarrassed to see his mother in front of him.The middle-aged woman saw that Ding Xiang didn't seem very enthusiastic about Li Lei, and when Ding Xiang was far away, she asked, "Lei Zi, you said that Ding Xiang is from Mengling Village, and that you asked me to ask a matchmaker to make a marriage proposal. What do I think?" The girl doesn't like you. What is her father's name, and I don't know if your father recognizes him. If he does, no matter whether the girl likes you or not, as long as your father tells you in person, the success will be greater."

Li Lei scratched his ears and blushed and said, "Her father seems to be called...Meng Gui."

"What? Her father is Meng Gui? Are you saying that Haitang is Ding Xiang's older sister? Oh, you silly son, who do you think is wrong to mess with such a family? That Haitang didn't even order a kiss." I got a big belly, and my face was thrown to the whole Qingshan Town, and maybe it will be thrown to the county if it is passed on again and again! If you marry her family, you will not be able to hold your head up in the future, even though the girl is not good now. Many, but our family is living a better life, I don’t know how many people are willing to marry the girl to you, from now on you are not allowed to talk to Ding Xiang, and you are not allowed to see her, or I will break your legs!”

Although Ding Xiang and Zi Kui had gone far away, Ding Xiang and Zi Kui still heard some of Li Lei's bluffing.

Seeing his mother yelling loudly, Li Lei jumped up anxiously, "Mother, please stop talking, Ding Xiang will be angry if she hears it."

It's okay if he didn't say anything, but when he said this, his mother yelled in the direction where Ding Xiang was walking away: "I don't care if she hears it or not, the girl raised by this kind of shameless family will go if she likes it, anyway. You can't have it!"

"Mother, what are you talking about? Begonias are begonias, cloves are lilacs, they are different. Mother, please stop talking!" Li Lei was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Li Lei desperately pulled his mother back, but Zikui ran over angrily, "Li Lei, my second sister asked me to make it clear to you that she has said that she has never meant anything to you, please don't do it again in the future." pestering her. He also said... Please keep your mother's mouth clean, if you want face, you won't be yelling and cursing here, right? Please figure out who wants face!"

Li Lei's mother was so angry that her mouth was crooked, "You... you girl, how do you talk?"

Zikui ignored her, took out the four cents and threw it at Li Lei, then snatched the piece of tofu from him, turned and left.

Li Lei was frightened, and chased him a few steps, but his mother stopped him, "Lei Zi, come back to me, if you catch up, mother will not have your son!"

Li Lei stopped and didn't dare to chase anymore, his mother was afraid that if she shouted again, the villagers would find out, and it was not a good thing for her son to get involved with a girl from Meng Gui's family. up.

Originally, Li Lei's mother is a strong character, if Zi Kui had been so fierce because of other things, she would have gone up and scolded or scuffled, but at this time she swallowed her anger and lowered her voice and said: "A girl from this kind of family has a lot of troubles." You can hide as far away as you can. The most important thing for a person to live in the world is reputation! If your reputation is bad, even if you don’t lack food and clothing, you can’t hold your head up. Understand?"

Li Lei had a dejected look on his face, "It's better to be with someone you like than to be famous."

His mother grabbed his ear, "Shut up, and come home with me!"

Li Lei was dragged home by his mother, but Ding Xiang scolded Zikui all the way, "No matter how wrong Li Lei's mother is, she is also an elder. You can disdain her, you can show face, but you can't tell her to keep her mouth clean." Ah, you beat around the bush and scolded people for being shameless. I asked you to explain a word and then get back the tofu. Why do you add a few words on your own? No wonder your parents are worried about you in the future. What good do you do yourself if you offend people everywhere? ?”

Zikui bit her lip and said, "Mother Li Lei's words are so unpleasant, I feel uncomfortable listening to them, and I want her to feel even worse!"

"There are so many ways to make her feel more uncomfortable. Why do you have to be brave with your mouth? Do you know that illness comes from the mouth and disaster comes from the mouth? You have offended a whole family like this. They might speak bad things about the elder sister everywhere. They will also speak ill of you and me. The reputation is ruined, so how do we do business?"

Zikui looked at the tofu in the basket, and then remembered the way everyone looked at them. It seemed that the tofu was hard to sell not only because everyone had no money to buy it, but also because of her family's bad reputation.

Zi Kui felt that what Ding Xiang said was reasonable, so she muttered: "Second sister, I think... our family's business may not be successful, so let's try making tofu for our family in the future. I heard that the Wutong Academy in the town is a An old gentleman, his newly built house is big, and he wants to take in two or three maids, I want to try, maybe the old gentleman is willing to take me in."

"Third Sister, don't be upset because the tofu can't be sold. Don't you have bean sprouts at home? They should grow up tonight, and you can pick them out and sell them tomorrow. Don't be discouraged. It's better to follow me than to be a girl." Ok?"

Zikui pouted, "No, I've made up my mind, if I don't give it a try, I won't let it go." She felt that being a girl in the academy was not only easy, but also nice to talk about, as long as she got in touch with the academy, she would be happy. Feel amazing.

Ding Xiang didn't speak any more. With her own reputation, the old man probably wouldn't accept Zi Kui.

When we went to Gaoling Village, we just sold the piece of tofu for four fen that we wanted to get back. Seeing the sun hanging in the sky, Lilac and Zikui had no choice but to go home for lunch.

Seeing that Lilac and Zikui looked unhappy, Wei Dashan knew that their business was not doing well.Ding Xiang cut off a large piece of tofu and asked Haitang to make it for the two masters. She took out the rest and put it in a basin, and then put it in a bucket of cold water to sit, so that she could pick it up and sell it in the afternoon, otherwise it would not look good .

Unexpectedly, Wei Dashan came over, "How many catties are left, I'll buy them all!"
