Forest Farm 1985: Raise a bear cub to climb the mountain

Chapter 137 He bought it for his mistress...

"Saccharin?" Lu Yinhua was a little confused.

"It's just a sweetener!" Nan Qiumei was proud.
"So sweet! Just a small pinch can make your bottle of juice instantly sweet!"

"So amazing?" Lu Yinhua was delighted. "Sister Qiumei, is this thing sold in town? How much is it? I've never heard of it in the village!"

"It's nothing special. It's the kind that comes in a small bag. It's white. Remember the steamed buns I brought back two years ago? They were sweet. They were mixed with saccharin. There are some of these in town, but not in large quantities. They come in small bags. If you buy them individually, they're not expensive. One cent for a small bag. But if you buy them in bulk, it's definitely not worth it."

"Ah? How much is it? Sister Qiumei, your words really gave me a heads up. If it's too expensive, I might as well just add sugar to it~"

"Don't worry, the price is not as high as white sugar. If you want it, I will go to the cake workshop or steamed bun shop to ask for you. If there is any, I will get some for you."

"Really?! That's great! Thank you, Sister Qiumei! Sister Qiumei is really knowledgeable! Before you came, I discussed it with the two of them for a long time, but we couldn't come to this conclusion."

Nan Qiumei raised her eyebrows high, and after enjoying Lu Yinhua's flattery for a while, she picked up a piece of Luguo and put it in her mouth, mumbling,

"Xiaohua, do you have any sugar at home? Let's add some in first and see if it tastes good. Don't wait until the sugar is refined and added in, and then find that the taste is still not good, then it will be a disaster."

"This... Sister Qiumei, I don't have white sugar at home, is brown sugar okay?"

Nan Qiumei blinked her eyes, then she remembered that although Yongli Village was the richest among the surrounding villages, most of the villagers lived in such a poor way. They would not even think of buying a scarce commodity like white sugar. Buying some brown sugar or yellow sugar was already a luxury. So she hurriedly said,
"It's okay! Apple juice is not very easy to mix. It will turn brown if it is left for a long time. It's a waste to add sugar to it!"

"OK!"

After Lu Yinhua finished speaking, she picked up a bottle of apple juice on the table, ran to the stove, took out a small jar, scraped it with a wooden spoon for a long time, and finally scraped out two spoonfuls of brown sugar. She put it all in the bottle, shook it evenly, and handed it to Nan Qiumei.
"Sister Qiumei, try it~"

"Ok!"

Nan Qiumei took the bottle and drank half of it, then passed it to Lu Yinhua.
"It's still a little bland and tasteless. The aroma of this apple juice is bland. The taste has to be sweet enough, otherwise it won't attract people at all."

Lu Yinhua's face suddenly fell. She shook the remaining half bottle of apple juice, then took a sip with a look of heartache.

It's obviously sweet and delicious, so why does Sister Qiumei still say it's tasteless?

The people in this town are so picky!
Perhaps seeing the anxiety in Lv Yinhua's heart, Nan Qiumei comforted her,
"Don't worry, Xiaohua. Have you forgotten what I just said? Saccharin is super sweet. A small bag of it is enough to make ten bottles of soda, not to mention the small soda bottle. It is definitely cheaper than sugar. Don't worry about the cost!"

"That's great, Sister Qiumei!" Lu Yinhua felt relieved after hearing that, and immediately asked Nan Qiumei tentatively,
"Sister Qiumei, do you still want to drink these?"

"No~ What's the matter? You're going to keep this little juice for your man to drink?"

Lu Yinhua looked a little embarrassed. "No, no! It's so sweet, I thought it would be a pity to finish it, so I covered it first to prevent it from oxidizing."

"Hey~ If you feel sorry for a man, then you feel sorry for him. Why don't you admit it~"

"Oh, Sister Qiumei!"

"Haha, fine, I won't tease you anymore, but I'm telling you, men should not be spoiled too much!

The more you spoil him, the more ungrateful he will become. In the end, you will slowly turn into a shrew who does all the housework. After two years, the couple will get tired of each other and have no passion anymore. Even if you keep the house in tidy order, he will not touch you, and even looking at you is considered too much!

As the old saying goes, if a thirty-year-old daughter-in-law is depressed, she will have nightmares for several nights in a row!"

"That's not the case, Sister Qiumei, I'm just being nice to her~"

"Didn't you get married last year?
This is only the second year, so the novelty hasn’t worn off so quickly!

Look at your brother-in-law, he has been completely tamed by me for three years, and he is still like when we first got married, he listens to me and does whatever I say!
Please take what I tell you to heart, okay?
Also, have you forgotten what I said about Dai Song before I came here?

Your brother-in-law and I saw it with our own eyes today at a state-owned store!

He didn't hesitate at all and directly held the mistress's hand, so that he didn't have to put it in his pocket. He was so domineering!
I really thought that no one would see it in the town, haha, but I didn’t expect that we would see it. At that time, I really wished that my parents were there, because I really don’t know how they would react when they saw this scene~”

"Humph, if you don't want anyone to know, you have to not do it yourself!"

Lu Yinhua immediately understood what Nan Qiumei meant, and then "asked for advice".

"Sister Qiumei, how about I spread the news about this little by little?"

Nan Qiumei narrowed her eyes and thought for more than ten seconds. "That's fine, but, after all, this is our family's shame. If I tell anyone about it, my parents will definitely be criticized in the village."

"No way!" Lu Yinhua patted Nan Qiumei's hand, "Uncle Nan, Aunt Yan, and Nan Chunwan were all harmed by Dai Song in this matter. If this matter gets out, how could anyone stab Uncle Nan in the back? They will definitely help to scold Dai Song! When the time comes, they will definitely be advised to divorce!"

"Of course not. Not everyone is like me, with good judgment. I found that Dai Song was not a good person and would rather run away to the town to hide than marry him. If this matter gets out, many people will definitely say that my parents are not only bad at judging people, but also stubborn! The second daughter has to hide in the town because of this, and the youngest daughter has to suffer after marrying there.

Someone else might also ask, what does Nan Qiumei mean by bringing this matter out at this time?
And if my parents heard about this, what would they think of me?" "Yeah, that's true. What should we do? Dai Song did such a thing, so we should just keep it to ourselves and feel bad?" Lu Yinhua made an unwilling expression.

"Of course not!" Nan Qiumei gritted her teeth, "Dai Song almost broke my family apart. I've been away for three years, and to avoid him, I only dared to come back once a year during the Chinese New Year. How much I owe my parents is all because of him!
So, Xiaohua, when you spread it out, don't bring me into it, and don't spread it yourself. Kuang Wenqiao and Jin Weili are good enough, just tell it to one of them like a story. You can tell them at a glance that they are not the kind of people who can keep a secret. This way, even if they find you and tear you apart in the end and you don't admit it, it will be convenient for them to put the blame on them!

Specifically, I heard someone who had been to the town say that he saw someone who looked very similar to Dai Song...hiss, this doesn't seem right, the people in the village should not know Dai Song. "

"No, no!" Lu Yinhua excitedly grabbed Nan Qiumei's hands, "Sister Qiumei, you don't know yet! Just a while ago, more than a week ago, Dai Song brought Nan Chunwan back to the village! It was so glorious at that time! He brought their little girl, sat on a tractor, and carried a lot of bags! Although he only stayed for a few nights, everyone recognized him!"

"It's only been a few nights, and everyone already knows him?" Nan Qiumei frowned. "Did he go door to door or something? There are at least 300 people in the village. How is it possible that everyone knows him in just a few nights?"

"Hey, Sister Qiumei, I told you not to get angry~"

"Then stop talking. I don't want to know! Since everyone knows him, just spread the word!"

"Okay~"

After explaining some details to Lü Yinhua, Nan Qiumei returned home briskly.

Seeing Yan Pandidi pouring a basin of peeled fruits into the pot, she hurried forward to help.

Yan Pandi's eyes showed happiness and expectation.
"Qiumei, I'll make you some apple paste. Take it with you and mix it with water while you're at work~"

"Yeah~" Nan Qiumei nodded slightly, her eyes brightened, but then turned dim, "Mom, I want to tell you something."

Yan Pandi paused, without even looking up, and continued to work.
"What?" Yan Pandi's movements began to become sluggish.

"Dai Song." Nan Qiumei's tone was cold.

Upon hearing this, Yan Pandi put down the basin in his hand, leaned against the stove, his face gloomy and his brows furrowed.

Nan Qiumei "increased the firepower" and said,

"Mom, you and Dad don't still think Dai Song is a good guy, do you?
Don't you still think that he is just immature and will improve in a year or two?
He is not a good man at all! He has been married to Xiaowan for three years! He still goes to town all day long! And he follows me! "

"Qiumei, your father and I have thought about what you said last time for a long time, and I guess it's a misunderstanding~" Yan Pandi said with his hands tightly entwined together.

Wu Qiuyun looked at her sister-in-law whose facial features were gradually twisted, and tactfully stepped back a little without saying a word.

Nan Qiumei caught the movement of her mother's hand and saw that Yan Pandi himself was very shaken by what he said, but the fire in her heart suddenly rose.
"Mom! I've said this, why are you still favoring him?

What's so good about him?
Would I use my reputation to smear him or what?

Why don’t you believe me? !”

"It's not that I don't believe you, Qiumei, but about this matter, Mom thinks we can wait for Xiaowan and Daisong to come and ask them first, right?"

"Puff!" Nan Qiumei laughed angrily, grabbed the mop beside her and threw it into the pot, destroying the peeled, plump and fragrant fruits in the pot.

“Any more questions?
Mom, it’s okay if you don’t believe me, but Daming and I saw this with our own eyes on the street today!
Daming! Ren Daming! Come out! Tell my mom what happened today! "

Ren Daming was originally bragging with his elder brother-in-law and father-in-law in the house. Just when they had almost established a good relationship and his father-in-law was even starting to smile, he heard his wife shouting in the main room.

He hurriedly put on his shoes and walked quickly to his wife and mother-in-law.

When Nan Guo Funan Xia Ze heard the noise, his brows twitched. Fearing that there might be some trouble, he hurried to the main room.

"Ren Daming, tell mom and dad everything you saw in town today!"

Nan Qiumei clenched her hands tightly, and the affection in her eyes was once again replaced by indifference.

Seeing her like this, Ren Daming felt a little uneasy, so he hurriedly said,
"Today, we were in town and saw Dai Song and his mistress going to a state-owned store to buy... buy..."

Nan Xia Ze opened and closed his mouth like Ren Daming, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"What do you want to buy?" Nan Guofu's face was half red and half white, and he was obviously angry and anxious.

"Buy...buy a hood!"

Ren Daming gritted his teeth and uttered the two words that were stuck in his throat.
