Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

The next morning, the family started making tofu again. This time they made a lot, 10 jin of soybeans. Everyone ate their fill of tofu pudding. After deducting the tofu pudding they ate, they weighed the finished tofu and found that there were still nearly 30 jin left.

"In April, pressing tofu for half an hour is more than enough. Look at this tofu now, it's even firmer than the tofu sold in town."

"Hmm, I think this balance of softness and hardness is just right. Mother, Second Uncle, what do you think?"

"I also think it's great. It's just the right texture, not too soft and not too hard."

"We can't possibly eat all this tofu, so let's give some to the families we're on good terms with."

"Okay, give 10 jin to Uncle Tian's family, the clan chief's family, the village chief's family, the Bai family, and Doctor Wu's family. We'll keep 10 jin for ourselves and distribute the remaining 20 jin among them."

Several sisters each carried a basket as they went out to deliver tofu. The families who received the tofu were all astonished. Ye Wenxiu looked at the white and tender tofu and asked, "Ruyun, is this tofu really made by your family?"

"Of course it's true, how could it be fake? We make quite a lot at home, so we brought some over for you to try."

"Wow! That's amazing! You can all make tofu now. This is a skill that can be passed down from generation to generation!"

"Is your family planning to start a tofu business in the future?"

"Our family doesn't run a tofu business. We gave this business to my maternal grandmother's family so that she can have a legitimate business to make a living in the future."

"Great! Now that you're doing well, it's only right that you help out at Grandma's house."

"Auntie, I'll head back now."

"Okay, take care."

Liu Siyue went to deliver some to Zaohua's family. The two families were eating together now. "Auntie, Sister Zaohua, this is tofu that we made at home. Please try it."

"Will you still be making tofu in April?"

"I learned it from a book, and after thinking about it a bit more, I never expected it to actually work."

"April, you're so smart, you learn everything you see and succeed at everything you do."

"Sister Zaohua, I'm not as smart as you say, it's just luck."

"Don't be modest, I just don't have that kind of luck!"

Looking at the white and tender tofu, Bai's mother suddenly had an idea. "April, I have an idea, but I don't know if I should say it?"

"Auntie, just tell me what's on your mind. We're such good friends."

"Are you planning to start a tofu business?"

"We don't run a tofu business; we only make it for our own consumption. What are your thoughts, Auntie?"

"We have a happy occasion coming up in the family soon. If we can have tofu to make the feast more elaborate, then we're thinking of asking if you could make some tofu for us. I'll pay for it; it's not free."

I wonder when those tofu stalls on the street will reopen? In winter, there aren't many vegetables available. Besides radishes and cabbage, and maybe some meat, we can't buy or afford anything else.

"What kind of banquet is Auntie planning to host?"

"For us farmers, what kind of feast can we put on? A stew of pork and cabbage, stew of pork bones and radish, and a scrambled egg—that's the best feast we can have."

"If we added some stir-fried tofu, the meal would look even better."

"Auntie, no problem, I agree to your request, but we're out of soybeans."

"In April, I'll have some soybeans at home, and I'll deliver them to your house then."

"Okay, it's settled then."

In the afternoon, the families who received the tofu brought their beans over. They entered with smiles, saying, "Yuzhen, you are really amazing! You can make tofu at home now. We are also benefiting from this. We can eat such smooth and tender tofu without leaving the village."

We ate the tofu for lunch, but we haven't finished it yet. The tofu you make tastes really good, just as good as the one at the restaurant in town.

You need soybeans to make tofu, and we had some at home, so we brought them to you.

"Auntie, the tofu was a gift for you, and you even brought us beans. You're too kind."

"We can get tofu right here in the village, without having to go to town, which saves us a lot of trouble. If you make tofu again next time, please send us some more; we haven't had enough yet."

"Okay, I'll send it back to you next time I make it."

Bai Qiming arrived carrying a bag of beans. Upon seeing Liu Siyue, he spoke sweetly, "Second Sister, Mother sent me to deliver these beans."

The word "Second Sister" made Liu Siyue laugh. Bai Qiming, unsure of what he had done wrong, stood there awkwardly.

"Bai Qiming, are you going to make all these beans into tofu? I didn't know. Mother told you to make it however you see fit. We're probably having 12 tables for the banquet this time."

"good.

How are your wedding preparations going? The house was renovated before the new year, all the tiles were replaced, and the quilts are new too. We're just waiting for the sixteenth to pick you up.

"Second sister, I want to marry August Feng in a grand and glorious way, so, so..." Bai Qiming stammered for a long time before finally managing to say something.

"Just say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush."

"Second sister, I'd like to borrow your carriage. I want to drive it myself to fetch the bride."

"I can lend you the carriage. Do you know how to drive one?"

"I don't know how, could you ask someone to teach me, second sister?"

"Since you're going to be the groom and you're so interested in August, come over in the next few days and I'll have someone teach you."

"Thank you, second sister, thank you, second sister."

It seems that Bai Qiming really likes August. I hope they can be loving and grow old together.

Liu Siyue thought of the woman who had helped her feed her child back in Baini Bay. Knowing that she had become successful, the woman hadn't come to her door asking for favors. It seemed that the woman was still a good person.

It is said that one should repay a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude. She told Madam Feng her thoughts, and Madam Feng agreed, saying, "April, you did the right thing. People have helped us before, and we should repay them. I will go with you tomorrow."

"Thank you, Mother."

These past few days, Liu Ruyun has been studying tofu recipes and the various ways to make soy products. Tonight, she soaked several pounds of soybeans, preparing to try making dried bean curd sticks and tofu skin.

The whole family had been working with great enthusiasm these past few days. When Liu Siyue woke up the next day, they had already ground the soybeans and started making soy milk. Breakfast that day was again tofu pudding. "Aren't you tired of eating tofu pudding for days on end?"

"Not at all, I've only eaten it for two days, how could I get tired of it?"

"If you get tired of eating them in April, ask the villagers to make you some pancakes."

"Okay, I'm really tired of it. I'll have them make pancakes instead. Does anyone else want some?"

"We don't eat pancakes, we eat tofu pudding."

Xiangqin worked quickly, and in no time she had made several egg pancakes for her. As Liu Siyue ate the pancakes, she asked for a bowl of freshly boiled soy milk, added sugar, and said, "Mom, you should have a bowl too. Try this soy milk; it's pretty good."

Mrs. Feng walked over, picked up her bowl, and took a sip. "It's quite delicious."

Liu Siyue didn't want to drink anymore. "Mother, you drink it all. I can't drink anymore. There are still two pancakes left, and I can't finish them either."

"Alright, Mother will eat them all. When are you planning to go to Baini Bay?"

"We'll go after Mom finishes eating."

"Mom, you eat first, I'll go prepare something."

Liu Siyue prepared 50 catties of white rice, 50 catties of white flour, cut a piece of meat, about seven or eight pieces, and also took two bolts of cotton cloth and some snacks for children.

"Qingwu, prepare the carriage; we're going out."

Qingwu drove the carriage over, loaded the things onto it, and headed towards Bainiwan. "Master, where are we going now?"

"Baini Bay".

Isn't this the village of Master's scumbag husband? Master, what's going on here?
