“Yes!” Su Xiu nodded with pride, her eyes sparkling.

He Yulan’s eyes widened. She was once again sure that her Big brother had good taste.

“It was my Big sister who made it. The first time we went to town to sell, it was me and my Big sister,” Su Xiu explained. This was something they had been doing secretly in the village, not daring to let anyone know. Su Xiu had always been happy about it, but without her Big sister’s permission, she couldn’t share it with He Yulan.

But now, she could finally reveal the secret, and she felt a little excited.

It was like scoring a perfect hundred and being eager to boast and share the good news with a close friend.

He Yulan opened her mouth in surprise. She had heard about someone selling steamed cakes in town. Those who had bought them said that they were delicious. Those who didn’t manage to buy them secretly regretted missing out. Recently, no one had been selling them, causing many people to specially go to town to look for them, but they couldn’t find them.

A few days ago, when she went to the market, she met a relative and heard about it.

However, she never expected that the steamed cakes were made by Su Wen and her sisters.

“No wonder Chen Guihua would say that she could smell the sweet aroma at night in the village.” He Yulan suddenly realized. “Several people said they smelled it.”

Su Xiu chuckled and said, “That’s because of my Big sister. She was afraid the smell would spread, so she covered the kitchen gaps with rags. But the freshly steamed cakes were just too sweet and aromatic, so the scent would eventually waft out.”

“Hahaha…” He Yulan couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of Su Wen plugging the gaps. “You don’t know when Chen Guihua told people about it, they even teased her for being so gluttonous that she dreamed of eating it at night.” “It was all my Big sister’s idea.”

“It seems I completely misjudged her. I never expected your Big sister to be so talented.” He Yulan sighed. She had previously disliked Su Wen, thinking she was foolish, selfish, and only cared about herself.

She didn’t expect that her previous foolishness was all an act, and she was very clever.

“Why aren’t you continuing to sell the steamed cakes then?” He Yulan said anxiously, “I’ve heard that many people in town are waiting to buy them! If you sold them, it would be money. The new policy has been pa.s.sed down. The country now allows us citizens to trade freely.”

“Yes, I’ve heard about it too,” Su Xiu said. She had overheard her brother-in-law and Big sister discussing it at home. “It came along with the land division policy.”

“That’s right.” He Yulan sighed. “Now that we’ve separated our households, my parents-in-law have been treating me well. I have to prove myself and earn money to show filial piety to them in the future.” The division of households had angered Xu Qianjin and Zhu Fang. Despite Zhu Fang’s crying, tantrums, and even threats of self-harm, her mother-in-law remained firm in her decision.

Apologizing and begging wouldn’t work either. He Yulan knew that her mother-in-law was determined to separate the family. He Yulan knew that her mother-in-law was doing this for her and Xiangdong.

Xiangdong was a kind-hearted person who never complained, even when Xu Qianjin took advantage of him. But Xu Qianjin was a greedy person. He had been taking advantage of them all this time, and they had all swallowed their grievances, but this time, he had gone too far.

She couldn’t bear it anymore and planned to learn from Sun Dahai’s wife.

Perhaps she should just return to her parent’s home.

If she wasn’t afraid that her Big brother would beat Xu Xiangdong up if she went back to her parent’s home, she would have gone back to her parent’s home long ago. However, everything was better now. Her mother-in-law still doted on her in the end. For her and Xiangdong’s sake, she had separated the family.

In the future, there would be no more obstacles in life. Therefore, as soon as they separated, she immediately started working. She wasn’t afraid of any hards.h.i.+ps or fatigue..
