Chapter 21: Humiliation Comes Too Fast
"What is it?" Su Li heard He Yufeng's voice and turned around in confusion.
He Yufeng looked at Su Li's clear eyes and choked on what he wanted to say. He subconsciously shook his head. "Nothing."
After confirming that He Yufeng really had nothing else to say, Su Li went back to work on her own matters.
He Dahu and He Erhu surrounded He Yufeng and watched him work curiously.
A few molds were nothing to He Yufeng. It didn't take long for him to make them.
When Su Li came out of the house, she saw the finished molds and said in surprise, "You're done so quickly!"
"It's just a few toys. It's a piece of cake." As he spoke, He Yufeng's face carried a trace of pride.
He Erhu raised his chin and said, "My father is amazing. He knows how to do everything!"
He Dahu didn't say anything, but the expression on his face said it all.
Su Li rolled her eyes. "If your father is so powerful, he should have added some tables and chairs to the house. Do you think there are any decent stools and tables in the house?"
There was nothing decent in the room. The tables and chairs were about to fall apart. If He Yufeng had such skills, why didn't he repair them? Or he could make a new one!
He Yufeng took a deep look at Su Li before leaving with a hatchet.
Su Li was baffled by his gaze. He Yufeng felt angry from embarrassment. She was just telling the truth. Was there a need to be so petty?
"How petty!" Su Li muttered softly.
She picked up the mold. With it, she could start making soap immediately.
Although Su Li's voice was very soft, He Dahu still heard her. He couldn't stand Su Li talking about He Yufeng, so he pouted and explained.
"My father is not petty. Every time, you would use an axe to chop the new tables and chairs into pieces and burn them as firewood. That's why my father is unwilling to waste that effort!"
With that, He Dahu ran off angrily!
He Erhu looked at Su Li and snorted. Then, he chased after He Dahu.
Su Li was speechless.
This had nothing to do with her. All of this was caused by the original owner of the body!
During lunch, Su Li realized that the braised pig intestines had decreased significantly. She looked up at the father and son, who were engrossed in eating.
Sensing Su Li's gaze, the three of them inexplicably felt a little guilty. They had clearly said that they would definitely not eat it, but they did not expect their faces to be slapped so quickly.
He Yufeng ate the mixed grain rice in his bowl. It was understandable that the two children were greedy. Thinking about it, he had lived for more than twenty years. He did not expect that he would lose his face over a few mouthfuls of pig intestines.
Back then, when he heard He Dahu and his brother praise the pig intestines for being delicious, he didn't believe it. It wasn't like he hadn't eaten pig intestines before. Ordinary people couldn't accept that taste.
Therefore, even if the pig intestines were sold at a cheap price, not many people would buy them.
He Dahu and He Erhu were filial children. When they encountered delicious food, they would definitely have He Yufeng's share. Hence, when the two of them saw He Yufeng, they immediately gave him some.
He Yufeng's first reaction was to refuse, but he could not stand the two little guys' pestering, so he frowned and took a bite. He did not expect that this bite would make him unable to stop.
Hence, the three of them took one bite after another. By the time He Yufeng realized, half of the food on the plate was gone.
At that time, he felt a little embarrassed. If Su Li found out that he had secretly eaten it, she would definitely mock him again!
He Erhu secretly looked up at Su Li, then lowered his head guiltily and used his chopsticks to eat the rice in his bowl as he whispered.
"I'm just helping you try it so that you won't be poisoned!"
Su Li chuckled. "Then I have to thank you."
"No, no need to thank me!"
He Erhu didn't understand what Su Li meant and really thought that she was thanking him. He was at a loss.
"Hahaha... You're so cute." Su Li reached out and pinched He Erhu's face.
There was really too little meat on his face. It seemed like she had to nurture them well. It would be easier to pinch his cheek when he was fat!
Su Li's actions made He Erhu's face turn red. His heart was pounding like a deer. She had just praised him for being cute!
Ever since he could remember, this was the first time Su Li had praised him for being cute. This feeling was really good.
He Dahu looked at He Erhu enviously before continuing to eat with a straight face.
"Hehe!" He Erhu laughed as he thought about it.
"You look so silly when you smile," said He Dahu.
When He Erhu heard someone say that he was silly, he was unhappy and retorted, "Brother, I'm not silly at all."
"You're just silly. It's just a sentence. Look at how useless you are."
He would never admit that he was jealous of He Erhu. It was just a compliment. He did not care at all. Yes, he did not care at all!
After lunch, Su Li began to make soap and fragrant soap.
He Yufeng was about to go out when he glanced at Su Li, who was busy. After some thought, he walked over.
"What's wrong?" Su Li asked.
She knew that He Yufeng must be looking for him for something. Otherwise, with her current appearance and figure, she would not be so narcissistic as to think that he was attracted by the charm she emitted.
"I'll go up the mountain and cut down some big trees to make tables and chairs."
He Yufeng's tone was very calm, as if he was informing her or discussing with her.
Su Li nodded. "Go ahead. The chairs at home probably won't last long."
In the afternoon, when she squatted down, she could feel the chair swaying. She seriously suspected that if she sat down again, the chair would immediately fall apart.
Seeing that He Yufeng was still standing there, Su Li's eyes were still filled with distrust for her.
Su Li's face darkened. This was a serious doubt about her character. This problem was very serious!
Su Li stretched out three fingers and said, "I swear to God that I won't cause trouble."
He Yufeng still stood rooted to the ground. He really did not believe the truth in Su Li's words.
Su Li rolled her eyes at him. "Why are you looking at me like that? I've already sworn. What else do you want? It's fine if you're unwilling, I don't have to beg you."
He Yufeng looked at Su Li deeply. "Remember what you said just now."
Su Li looked at He Yufeng's back and said with her hands on her hips, "What a bad temper."
He Yufeng had only helped her make a total of 30 molds. Although she thought that it was too little, He Yufeng was unwilling to help her make more. This thing was too useless. The last time she tried to make it, she had been scratched by it.
Therefore, so be it. It was better than nothing!
Su Li took out the petals that had been processed in her space. She planned to make 10 fragrant soaps and 20 normal soaps. As the price of fragrant soap was slightly higher, she did not dare to make too much at once.
