Chapter 34:

After Shumin returned home that day, he locked himself in his room and didn't come out for the first half of the day. In the room, she was neither sad nor angry, but used her brain to think of one plan after another. Since he can't get back Hui'er's custody by normal means, he has no choice but to take the wrong path and take other paths.

Lone Star had already used it when she was reasonable, and she didn't plan to use it on Hui'er, after all, she didn't want her child to be charged with such an unlucky crime.

So after thinking about it, I had to find a way to let the Zhang family propose it themselves or give up Hui'er, but this was not easy to say.

Who knew that within a few days, the autumn flowers would actually come out and be happy. The Zhang family was excited. Especially Zhang Li's family, when he met people, he said that he wanted the whole village to know.

Hearing the news, Shumin was also very happy. After all, the autumn flowers are happy, so that the Zhang family gave up Hui'er's grasp and played a little more.

In order to make a smooth plan, she felt that it was indispensable to spend money, so she went to the Drunken Wind Building again. This time, the shopkeeper received her very warmly.

Since Zuifeng Lou launched a series of tofu dishes, the business has gone to the next level. The shopkeeper couldn't smile all day.

"Little sister-in-law, are you here to sell tofu this time?" The shopkeeper asked with a smile

"I have other plans for the recipe for tofu, but the shopkeeper knows it." Shumin also replied with a smile.

"Oh? So why are you here this time? The shopkeeper was not much disappointed, and the sentence just now was just a casual question.

"I don't plan to sell the recipe for tofu, but I don't know if the shopkeeper is interested in the recipe for processing tofu?" Shumin took a sip of tea and asked calmly.

"How to process tofu?" Can tofu be processed into something else? The shopkeeper suddenly became interested.

"Of course, tofu can be processed into many things you don't expect, such as yuba, moldy tofu, fried tofu, stinky tofu, dried tofu, etc., if the shopkeeper is interested, I can sell them together."

"I'm interested in these things, but I'll have to see and taste them before I can give you an answer!" The shopkeeper is worthy of being a veteran in the business, and although he is interested, he does not have the urge to buy it immediately as soon as his mind is hot. But Shumin is not the first time to do business, so he naturally came prepared. This time, she prepared yuba, moldy tofu and stinky tofu.

Just like last time, under the guidance of Shumin, the chef made a few dishes to taste, while the moldy tofu can be eaten directly.

After tasting these dishes, the shopkeeper was very satisfied with the yuba and dried tofu, as for the moldy tofu, although it was delicious, it was not commensurate with the grade of the drunken wind building, so the shopkeeper spent fifty taels to buy these two recipes after hesitation.

As for why tofu is worth 200 taels, and these two are only worth 50 taels? Hehe, tofu is unique, but yuba and dried tofu are only derivatives of tofu, which means that if Shumin reveals the secret recipe of tofu, it is only a matter of time before yuba and dried tofu appear.

Although the shopkeeper didn't buy the recipe for moldy tofu, he fell in love with the taste of moldy tofu, so he bought the inventory in Shumin's hand, planning to keep it as a gift and eat it himself.

The process of selling the child was quite smooth, and Shu Min walked around the town after leaving the drunken wind building. To be honest, every time I come, I am in a hurry, and there are few times like today.

She bought a handful of dates at the snack shop and ate them as she walked, sometimes looking at the embroidery, sometimes browsing the ready-to-wear store. Looking at those cookie-cutter ready-to-wear clothes, she really didn't feel in the mood to buy them, so she couldn't wait to carry out the plan for the sewing machine. When the sewing machine is ready, I will be able to make many beautiful clothes. She studied design and drew a few beautiful clothes.

But in the end, she still bought two cotton jackets for girls to wear. It's winter soon, and Hui'er doesn't have a decent dress yet!

As she walked, she suddenly found that since she came out of the Drunken Wind Building, she had been followed by a skinny, ragged child. The child's clothes were noticeably large, covered with patches, old and dirty.

"It can't be a beggar, right?!" Shumin thought to himself, "Could it be that you are being targeted by bad people?" ”

But the little boy's expression was in a hurry, and she couldn't connect with the bad guys.

So she turned around, and she had the heart to get rid of him. But the boy was very persistent and followed him very closely all the way. Finally in a relatively remote corner, Shumin couldn't help it, stopped, took out a small piece of silver, and said, "Oh. Take it, don't follow me. ”

The boy's face turned red, and instead of taking the money, he asked in a low and nervous voice

"Your surname is Qin? His full name is Qin Shumin? Do you live in Baili Village? ”

"You are?" Shumin is a little confused? She didn't have any impression of him, how could he know so well?

"Auntie, I'm Qin Feng'an, your nephew Qin Feng'an," the little boy suddenly burst into tears, as if he had seen his dearest person, and threw himself into Shumin's arms.

The dates fell to the ground, and tears suddenly welled up in Shumin's eyes, although it was incredible, but when the boy said his name, Shumin's heart suddenly swelled with a sense of closeness, a sense of closeness from the soul and blood.

"Feng'an? Feng An: "I thought I would have no relatives in this world anymore." Who knew that after shopping, I met my nephew who had long since disappeared.

After both of them finished venting, Shu Min looked at the little boy in front of him seriously. If she remembered correctly, he should have been eight years old, and his eyebrows looked like his dead brother other than herself, but her nose and mouth were like herself. I remember that people used to joke that this child had completely inherited the good looks of the Qin family, and there was no resemblance to his sister-in-law.

However, his thin body and the extremely ill-fitting clothes with patches on his body meant that he was not doing well at all.

Shumin took him to a snack bar and ordered a bowl of noodles for him, and he began to eat it. After he finished eating, Shumin began to ask him where he was now

"Ever since my father died unexpectedly, my relatives have been bullying us every three days. The land was also taken over. My mother had no choice but to take me to marry a butcher in the town. He was a husband and had three children, all older than me. My mother wants to look at his eyes, and his children can only turn a blind eye to bullying my mother, and then my mother gave birth to a little brother, so naturally she can't take care of me even more. Feng An finally saw his relatives, and he told Shumin all the grievances he had received over the years.

"I was delivering meat to the guests today, and I saw my aunt coming out of the drunken wind building, so I secretly followed behind. But I was afraid of recognizing the wrong person, so I didn't dare to come forward and recognize him. Feng An said as he spoke, his eyes turned red again, and Shumin hurriedly took out a handkerchief and helped him wipe his tears in distress.

"Well, don't cry. My aunt will take care of you in the future. When you see your aunt, would you like to live with her? Seeing that Feng An's life was so bad, Shu Min had a plan to take him back.

"Yes" Feng An nodded, and then shook his head, "But, uncle's house" He remembers coming to his aunt's house to play when he was a child, and his uncle's family was not very friendly.

"Don't worry, now my aunt at home has the final say!" Shumin gave him a big reassuring smile. It was difficult for her to say to the child that she had already separated, so she had to wait until later to talk about it slowly.

Seeing that Shumin was so confident, Feng An felt a lot more relieved.

"But I'm worried that my mother won't" Although Feng An is small, he is already sensible. Although my mother has not been good to me in recent years, I don't necessarily want my mother to want herself.

"Okay, you have always been surnamed Qin, and you can only be surnamed Qin in the future. Your mother has me. Shumin comforted. Later, you will take me to meet your mother, and I will have a good talk with him. ”

The butcher's surname is Zhang, and his home is on the street east of the city. The eastern part of the city is the poorer part of the town, but Zhang's butcher's house is obviously an exception. Because it is so good that it is a business, the blue brick and large tile house at home is still very eye-catching in this area.

Butcher Zhang's stall was placed in front of his house, and now the weather was very cold, but he still wore a very thin coat with exposed sleeves and a brazen apron. There wasn't much pork left in the stall, and this time was past the time to sell pork, so he sat on a chair and took a nap.

"Do you want to buy pork?" When he saw someone coming, he immediately came to his senses. asked with a smile. looks very honest, if it weren't for listening to Feng An talk about Zhang's butcher's family before, Shumin would really think that he was an honest person.

"I'm not here to buy pork, I'm here to find Roche."

As soon as he heard that he was not buying pork, he immediately lost interest and shouted into the house, "Mother-in-law, what are you doing, someone is looking for you!" ”

After saying that, he took a nap again.

"Who!" Luo Shi was wearing a dark green skirt, with a silver hairpin on his head, and a white and tender milk baby in his arms, and staggered out.

"Sister-in-law. Looks like you're doing well, aren't you? Shu Min leaned on his hand and saw Luo Che, and he was angry. He was dressed like a man, but his nephew was like a beggar.

"Ah, it's Shumin. What are you doing here? Roche was a little weak-hearted. looked at Butcher Zhang, who was napping, his face changed, and he pulled Shumin into the room.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

"I know you don't want me to come, and I don't know that my nephew is living like a beggar." Shumin originally had some sympathy for her, but looking at her clothes and thinking about her nephew, she felt a lot more resentment in her heart.
