“Shut up. If I say we’re splitting up today, we’re splitting up. Go, help me call the village chief over.”
Cao Jing watched from the side for a long time and understood that her parents-in-law had already made up their minds. She sneered at Zhu Fang. “You deserve it! You pushed your luck, took advantage, and now you’re bullying others.”
Zhu Fang was indignant. “Didn’t you take advantage of me too? How many times have you been in the fields? How many work points did you earn at home?”
“I didn’t go to the fields much, but Yuejin did, and he didn’t lose any work points.” When she first entered the house, she was not as lazy as now. At that time, she was full of confidence and looked forward to the future.
If it weren’t for the fact that Zhu Fang didn’t work and even pushed her work to her, she wouldn’t have given up.
It was good that they were splitting up now. They could live their own lives.
It wasn’t that Cao Jing couldn’t work. She just didn’t want to see her mother-in-law being biased and let Zhu Fang take advantage of her. She didn’t believe she couldn’t lead a good life after splitting up.
Soon, the village chief was called over to be the notary for the Xu family’s division. Su Wen saw it was about time and was not interested in what happened next. She pulled Su Xiu home.
“Big sister, should I still partner with Sister Yulan?” Su Wen asked.
“Yes, you should. In fact, now it’s even more important,” Su Wen replied without hesitation. “Before, when she didn’t separate from the rest of the family, she had many conflicts with the eldest and second son. But now that they’ve split, it’s a good thing.” After observing for a while, she gained an understanding of the Xu family members.
He Yulan and Xu Xiangdong were both good people. They could handle their parents-in-law.
It was much better than the Su family.
“Alright, then I’ll wait for Sister Yulan to settle down before looking for her.” Su Xiu smiled happily.
“Yes!” Su Wen stood at the door. She guessed that Su Qing had left early in the morning and should be at her aunt’s house by now. If she rode her bicycle there, she could make it back for lunch. At noon, she cooked pickled fish.
The pickled vegetables were pickled in the jar. They were sour, crisp, and refreshing. They were used to make pickled fish. The fish was a wild silver carp that Uncle Youtian had found by the river. Su Wen had exchanged it with a notebook. The weather was hot, so they couldn’t put anything fresh in the kitchen. If they wanted to eat some fish, they had to go to town.
Other than being a barefooted doctor, Li Youtian was also good at catching fish. He was lucky today and caught a silver carp and a carp. Carrying them with a grass rope as he passed by the front gate, he happened to be spotted by su Wen.
Li Youtian was too embarrassed to accept the money, and Su Wen could not ask for something for free, so she offered to exchange it with her notebook.
The two prices were about the same. Su Wen’s notebooks were of good quality and were very exquisite. Li Youtian, as a barefoot doctor, naturally used it. He couldn’t put his hands down when he saw the notebook and offered both fish to su Wen.
Su Wen was too embarrassed to take all the fish. Wouldn’t that be too greedy? At least she left one for someone, so she asked for a bigger silver carp.
It was perfect for making pickled fish.
She used to like to eat pickled fish, and she also liked to buy condiments from the supermarket to make pickled fish and cook them herself. It was not troublesome to make pickled vegetables in the county town.
In the afternoon, Su Xiu cooked the rice. After the silver carp was killed and washed, Su Wen rolled up her sleeves and personally cooked. First, he cut the silver carp from the back of the fish, then cut the fish from the tail. At first, she was still a little rusty, but after a few cuts, she became more and more familiar with it. Every piece of fish was cut beautifully by her.
Although it was not as thin as the chef’s, the pickled fish did not need to be very thin. If the fish slices were too thin, they would break easily when cooked..
