Chapter 63: secret

The atmosphere in the room was dignified and Old Lady Liu had an ugly face. Seeing Zhou's mother not speaking, she sneered, "Just now when so many people were watching, I felt ashamed that I didn't continue to make noise, but it doesn't mean you can bully me like this."
Mother Zhou frowned, as if she didn't know what to say.
Hearing what Liu Pozi said, Zhou Chengkang turned around and asked, "How did you bully you?"
Lady Liu sneered, "Ask your eldest brother."
She was full of disdain, and Zhou Chengkang said displeased, "Auntie, can you speak well? You have been at our house for more than a year. When there was no separation at the beginning, Wumei still cooked for you. Usually no one is bullied. Are you? Why do I not hear you in a mocking tone of your speech?"
He was upset, and Old Lady Liu was even more angry, "The things you promised me didn't do. What kind of tone do you want? Your family is a liar!"
"You can't talk nonsense about this." Mother Zhou finally said, "Our Zhou family is indeed poor, but my children have never taken things from people since they were young, let alone deceive them."
"Don't lie?" Liu Pozi was very angry, and pointed at Boss Zhou, "He told me at the beginning that he would not have children within five years of marriage, but in only one year, there will be children. What is this not a liar? "
Zhou's mother was also angry, "Everyone is married. If you let the family not have children, what daughter-in-law does our family marry? This is to find two ancestors to come back to serve?"
Don't let Mei get pregnant?
Boss Zhou didn't say a word. It seems that he really promised this in private. When Zhou's mother saw this, there was nothing else she didn't understand. When she wanted to get angry, she saw the pale-colored Mei on the side and looked at her belly. On the face of her, she endured her anger, and said to Zhou Chengkang, "That's what your auntie meant, saying that your eldest brother had promised to be married for five years without having children. This is the reason for this marriage, but we don't know about it. If you say it in advance, there is nothing I can’t accept. After all, our Zhou family really wronged Meihua, but now that Meihua is pregnant, what can she say? She actually wants Meihua to lose her baby!"
"Such a poisonous woman, I have never seen it in my life!"
Li Qinghe said mildly, "Why don't you have children within five years? All of these are married, and childbirth can be controlled? Unless the house is not consummated, is it still a couple?"
"At the beginning, your family gave Xiaoding, and it didn't add up to a couple of silver. This is the attitude of asking for marriage? The reason why I agreed to this marriage is because at the beginning, Mr. Zhou said that he would not have children within five years of marriage. ......" In the last two words, Liu Pozi's tone was heavy, "Also, I will keep all the money earned."
Mother Zhou was taken aback and looked at her elder son.
Liu Pozi sneered, "Don't look at it, I have collected all the money I earned this year. If it hadn't been agreed earlier, do you think he was stupid?"
She paused and continued, "This child can't be born. If you want to be born, your family will make up for my five-year loss. Oh, four years, ten taels a year, forty taels, I will never Stop it."
Zhou Mu was very angry, "Why don't you grab it? If you are Mei Hua's mother-in-law, there is some truth to this. If the tofu recipe belongs to your Liu family, I will admit it, but you are an ex-grandmother, and Mei Hua is willing to remarry Take you, she is kind and filial, and she must be content!"
Old lady Liu spread her hands, "Look, you turned your face, right?"
She looked at Zhou Chengwen, "Boss Zhou, don't say a word, what to do with this matter, you say it yourself!"
Boss Zhou squatted on the ground, tugging at his hair, "I did agree back then."
Mei Hua's face was pale, "I'm going to give birth to this child." She seemed to be very scared, shaking her whole body to pull Zhou's boss on the ground, crying, "I want to live with you."
Things froze, and Meihua's intermittent cries were left in the room.
Zhang Haiyao, who was watching the show at the door, had already narrowed his smile and frowned.
In the quiet room, Old Lady Liu’s voice sounded again,
Mei Hua, don’t be stupid. He would marry you back then. He just focused on your craftsmanship. You don’t need a betrothal status when you remarry. You feel so sincere. Don't really feed the dog."
"You are talking nonsense." Boss Zhou was full of anger and his eyes stared.
"Look." Liu Pozi took a step back when he saw him, "I was told that I was thinking, and I was anxious. Is this trying to hit someone?"
Mother Zhou closed her eyes and said, "Boss, go back to the room with plum blossoms."
Boss Zhou frowned and met his mother's eyes. He didn't say anything. He helped Mei Hua go out. When he reached the door, Zhou's mother said, "Mei Hua, you have to remember what you just said, this child, you want to have a baby, and you want to get married. The boss has a good life."
"Yes." Mei's tone was serious, "In this world, there can be no better person than him, and I am not the one who does not know what is good or bad. Don't worry, mother, after this time, we won't let you worry about it."
"If you haven't made it clear, you are not allowed to leave." Liu Pozi reached out to stop. "What is going to give birth to a child? Who agreed?"
Zhou’s mother stopped her, "After helping you for a year and a half, you just said that it’s about ten taels a year, and it’s almost enough to earn fifteen taels of silver. I don’t ask you for the silver, but if you move out of my house, the boss will support you. Also count, I will send you food and cloth every year from now on. As for other things, don't think about it."
"What if I don't?" Liu Pozi folded her arms.
"Then report to the official." Zhou Mu said frankly, "Anyway, our family did not take advantage of you, and it is not impossible for a widow to remarry. I have never heard of taking a mother-in-law to remarry and give you the old age. That is our family's kindness. Let me If you live in my house, that is also our family's good-hearted. Since you don't know what is good or bad, then you move out by yourself."
Liu Pozi raised her eyebrows, "Then this tofu recipe, I want to sell it."
Mother Zhou responded quickly and answered, "If you sell the prescription, then the boss will never care about you again."
"Okay." Liu Pozi turned to go out and said loudly, "Plum, you have heard all of them!"
She swiftly returned to the house, ping-pong-pong for a long time, and came out with two big baggages, "At first, Meihua told me. After the fourth and they moved away, the house was given to me. What happened? Let me and a little girl. I’ve had enough to live. That recipe... just tens of taels of silver is easy to sell. From now on, I won’t have to get up early and be greedy."
The plum blossom stood at the door, leaning on the door frame to stand unstable and shaky.
Seeing Mrs. Liu arrogantly laugh and go out, her hands softened and her body slipped. The boss Zhou beside her hurriedly supported her, "What's wrong?"
Mei Hua's tears rolled down. Today, she cried too much, her eyes were swollen, and she choked up, "I am willing to listen to her, and I am willing to give her the money I earn, and even take her to help her for another five years after remarrying. It’s because she promised me that she would not pass on the recipe for making tofu in my family. That is the last thought left by my parents."
Li Qinghe was stunned, let alone, in the whole Luoyue Town, there are only two people selling tofu. If anyone can do it, Liu Pozi can't make a dozen or two in a year.
"Then what should I do now?" Mother Zhou was a little nervous. She was just joking, thinking about the big deal. She hurriedly sold the prescription before Mrs. Liu sold it. Unexpectedly, for Meihua, this It's so important, even if you don't do it, it's something you must hold tightly in your hands. I couldn't help but asked, "There are so many tofu, but the taste is different, so you didn't keep a hand?"
Mei Hua cried and shook her head, "She sees every day, it's my mother-in-law again, I can't urge her to leave, where can I keep it?"
"I'll find her back!" Boss Zhou put her on the chair and was about to chase after him. But the hem was pulled by Meihua, he turned around and listened to her, "No need."
"I should have thought of this day long ago. She is not a good person. Unless I have always fulfilled her wish and tied her tightly to her in this life, I will not remarry or have children. Since I married you , She can always find a chance to sell the prescription."
Boss Zhou was very moved, even Zhou's mother was a little moved. For Mei Hua, marrying him is not just as simple as marrying someone, it is to get what he wants without losing the recipes uploaded by the family.
Liu Pozi is gone, one person is missing from the Zhou family. It seems the same as the original, but it seems a little different.
Li Qinghe and the two returned home, it was getting late, they cooked and ate, and then fed everything before washing and sleeping.
As the days passed, when Li Qingmiao's full moon banquet passed, the two began to cut the sweet potato vines in the field, cut them and dried them, and put them out to feed them in winter.
Half a month after Po Liu left, there were three more tofu sellers in the town. Needless to say, they all knew that it was Po Liu’s masterpiece.
It might be like what Mei said. Po Liu wanted a seller for a long time. It is said that each family bought it for thirty taels of silver. She made nearly a hundred taels at once. I heard that she was still holding this silver. I bought a small yard in the town, and bought a few women to take care of her, and life was comfortable.
The leaves of sweet potato vines were all covered in the yard. At first, I didn't notice the two people who planted sweet potatoes. They also knew about it now. Looking at the lush seedlings in the wheat field, and the sweet potatoes faintly emerging from the soil, some people couldn’t help but come over and ask,
Although this kind of stuff is cheap, but the stuff is weighed down, how much do you buy? Planting such a large piece?" The question was Li Qingmiao's mother.
Before Li Qinghe spoke, a woman next to her shook her head and said, "We can't afford to grow, and they don't lack silver." Her tone was sour.
