Chapter 28 Scolding Wu
By the afternoon, Li had made all the beans into tofu, and as Wang Yiyi had instructed, she was keeping it in clean water, planning to sell it in town the next morning.
Li cut a large piece and gave it to Ertou to deliver to Jiang Chengzong's house. She also cut two more pieces, one for Erya to deliver to Wang Dashan's elder brother's house and the other for Datou to deliver to Wang Dashan's second elder brother's house.
Da Tou was a little unhappy, still harboring some resentment about what happened with his second aunt last time.
Li patted him on the back: "The elders should handle their own affairs. As a junior, you can't be disrespectful to your elders. After all, he's your father's brother, so you have to give your father face."
Da Tou then went reluctantly.
Wang Yiyi could tell that Li was actually a little reluctant; she hesitated for a moment when cutting the tofu.
She couldn't repay evil with kindness, but she wouldn't object to Li doing this. Apart from the first time she taught her how to make tofu, Li had done everything herself.
The tofu for the second day was carried to town by Wang Dashan and Datou, but they left after putting it down, and the three sisters still sold it.
We made a lot today, and it took a little longer to sell. By almost noon, there was still a little less than half a bucket left.
Wang Yi suggested, "Big sister, let's go ask if any restaurants will buy ours. We can sell them cheaper if we buy in bulk, like three coins for two catties."
"You can also ask those wealthy families; they consume a lot of vegetables every day," Er Ya added.
Shangyun Town is just a small town with only one restaurant and not many wealthy families, only two or three households.
They went to the restaurant first. Because the price was fair, the restaurant owner took all the remaining tofu and agreed to deliver ten catties of tofu every day. If it sold well, he would add more later.
Er Ya held the money with a hopeful look on her face: "Tomorrow I'll go ask those wealthy families if they want to order our tofu like the restaurant does."
Da Ya laughed and said, "You're so beautiful."
Wang Yiyi, however, didn't think it was a problem: "I think my second sister is right. We can go to the city and ask."
Daya tapped her forehead: "You have quite the idea. We're too far from the city. This tofu is delicate; it'll break by the time we get there after all the bumpy ride."
"I have a way to get to the city quickly," Wang Yi said confidently.
This distance is indeed far, but it's enough for her RV to travel in half an hour. However, it's not possible right now; the road still needs to be repaired.
Daya didn't take this seriously, smiled, and took her two younger sisters to buy beans.
When the three returned, Li was already making the first batch of beans. Upon seeing them, she hurriedly instructed, "Quickly weigh out ten catties of beans and take them to your aunt. I borrowed these beans from her."
Daya quickly agreed, took out a scale, weighed out ten catties of beans, and hurriedly went to her aunt's house. Erya then soaked the remaining beans.
Before long, Daya returned, followed by Wu Shi.
Mrs. Li hurriedly put down her work and greeted them, "Oh, my in-laws are here! My tofu will be ready soon, so please take a piece with you."
Madam Wu's expression was not good: "We're not even married yet, isn't it a bit too early to call them in-laws?"
Li also sensed that Wu's visit was ill-intentioned, and gave Daya a wink. The latter shrugged, indicating that she didn't know what it was about.
Li forced a smile and said, "I misspoke, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wu interrupted him: "I'm asking you, did you send Daya to sell tofu on the street?"
"Yes, Da Ya is very thoughtful." Li Shi was a little confused and spoke cautiously.
Suddenly, Madam Wu raised her voice: "Our Chengzong is destined to be a high-ranking official. If word gets out that his fiancée is showing her face in public, what will people think of him?"
"It was my oversight; I didn't think that far ahead. Starting tomorrow, I won't let Daya go out anymore." Madam Li bowed, her attitude extremely humble.
Daya went over and helped Li up, then said to Wu, "I don't think it's shameful to earn money with my own hands. On the contrary, I'm very proud."
Madam Wu clutched her chest, angrily cursing, "You haven't even married into the family yet, and you dare to talk back to me? You've gone too far! If it weren't for your father threatening me with the debt of saving his life, I would never have agreed to let Chengzong marry you."
These words were a bit too much, and Li's face darkened. But thinking of Daya, she swallowed her anger. "Sister-in-law, it was my fault. I made Daya go. If you're angry, take it out on me. It has nothing to do with the child."
He then patted Daya on the back, signaling her to apologize.
Daya stubbornly refused to go, but Li kept urging her. Seeing her mother's humble appearance, she softened and apologized to Wu: "Auntie, I spoke a little harshly, please don't take it to heart."
Madam Wu's expression softened a bit, and she found a place to sit down. "Da Ya, I'm not trying to criticize you, but Cheng Zong is destined to be an official. As the future wife of an official, you need to know the proper etiquette. Cheng Zong is studying hard for you, and you're lowering yourself to be a merchant. Aren't you just holding him back?"
Then the tone shifted again: "If you had to become a merchant because Chengzong was studying, that would be considered kind and righteous. But you did it for your family. If word got out, where would he put his face?"
This is a roundabout way of saying that if Da Ya earns money for Jiang Chengzong, that's fine, but giving it to her family would ruin her reputation.
Li was losing face and couldn't help but want to curse.
Then Wang Yiyi came over with a broom and started chasing Wu Shi away: "If you're so bored, go find a job. If you're sick, go see a doctor. Stop pointing fingers at me. You haven't even become an official's wife yet, and you're already putting on airs."
"He comes to my house every day to freeload, and he can recite all sorts of poems. He knows a few words and thinks he's all that. After all these years, he hasn't even passed the county-level imperial examination, yet he still has the nerve to show off. If I had a son like that, I would be too ashamed to go out every day. And you still show off everywhere. Aren't you ashamed?"
"Your family members are all lazy and good-for-nothings, yet you have the nerve to talk about my eldest sister. You're just jealous of her competence and how much money she makes. You're not even married yet, and you're already trying to leech off her. Do you think my sister would love to be your family's daughter-in-law? Don't you even take a piss and look at yourselves? If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. Your son probably didn't study any Confucian classics either. If he can become an official, I'll write my name backwards."
Wang Yi spoke extremely quickly, and Wu was furious but couldn't find a chance to interrupt. She clutched her chest and stammered, "You...you..."
Wang Yi rolled her eyes and said, "What do you mean, 'you'? Hurry up and go back to feed your precious son, lest he starve to death and then blame my older sister for not chewing the food properly before sending it to you."
After saying that, he slammed the courtyard gate shut.
Wu was stunned for a moment, stared at the tightly closed courtyard gate, cursed a couple of times, and finally left with a livid face.
