56 Chapter 56 Seeking Advice
After settling the bill, Uncle Sun taught Gu Chengrui how to set up the cart and drive it. The two lifted their small cart onto the donkey cart and went home.
When Zhou Ying returned the cart, she took five pounds of pork ribs and handed them to Sister Tian. “Sister Tian, give these ribs to Da Hua and Er Hua to improve their diets.”
“How can we …” Sister Tian wanted to decline, but Zhou Ying stopped her and said, “Sister Tian, you don’t have to be so polite with us. We’re neighbors, and you’ve helped us a lot. Please take it.”
Sister Tian replied, “Oh, then don’t hesitate if you need us for something.”
“I won’t.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she turned around and was about to return when she saw Sister Tian’s face full of hesitation. She paused and asked, “Sister Tian, is there anything you need? Just let us know. If it’s within our means, we will definitely help.”
“Did your family buy a donkey cart?”
“Yeah, it’s embarrassing to borrow your cart every day.”
“Do you guys earn a lot of money by selling bean sprouts?”
Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment and shook her head. “It’s alright, but the money for buying the donkey is mainly from picking herbs.
“However, I can teach you if you want to learn how to grow bean sprouts.
“Even if you don’t sell them to a restaurant, the price of this new vegetable will not be low in the market.”
Tian Dahua’s eyes brightened up. She felt that her return with her kids had dragged down her brother. If they could have a stable income, they could move out and let their brother quickly marry another wife.
“Then I’ll go back and discuss it with my brother before making a decision.”
“Sure, you can come over at any time.” Zhou Ying assured her before turning around and heading home.
In the afternoon, Tian Jiaxing’s family sent over the remaining furniture and an additional single bed, saying it was for Gu Chengrui to use as a patient bed.
Before dinner, Gu Chengrui was about to lock the door and let the dog out when he saw the Tian siblings walking over.
Gu Chengrui paused for a moment before warmly welcoming them into the house.
On the other hand, Zhou Ying heard the commotion outside and immediately glanced at the dishes on their dining table. There was braised tofu, pork ribs, fried cabbage, and rice. After confirming that there was nothing out of the ordinary, she got up and went out to welcome them.
“You guys are having dinner? Why don’t we come back later?” Sister Tian looked at the food on the table and smiled awkwardly before getting ready to leave.
Zhou Ying quickly stopped her. “No, you came at the right time. Since you’re here, let’s eat together.”
“No, no, we’ve already eaten before coming here. Besides, we also had pork ribs for dinner.” Sister Tian shook her head and said.
“Yeah, you guys eat. We’ll just sit at the side and wait.” Tian Jiawang replied.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying went to the kitchen and brought back two pairs of bowls and chopsticks. She also gave each of them a small bowl of braised ribs and braised dried tofu. “Do try the pork ribs and dried tofu that I made.”
“This, well, don’t mind if we do.” Tian Jiawang smelled the rich meat fragrance and finally couldn’t resist the temptation and took it.
When Sister Tian saw this, she also accepted it. However, she only tasted a bite and gave most of it to Tian Jiawang.
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying immediately returned to their seats and quickly ate.
After they finished eating, Tian Jiawang asked curiously, “Sister Zhou, what is this red thing made of? It doesn’t taste any different than meat.”
“It’s dried tofu. It’s made of soybeans, but it’s been pressed and stewed with spices.” Zhou Ying replied as she cleaned up the dishes.
After saying that, she took the bowl and chopsticks and went to the kitchen.
