Chapter 444: Chapter 444: Anticipation Chapter 444: Chapter 444: Anticipation “Sister-in-law, this tofu has gone moldy? You can still eat it?”
Mrs. Chu’s face was full of disbelief.
When other things went moldy, they were harmful to the body. In Mrs. Chu’s view, tofu was the same; once tofu went moldy, it couldn’t be eaten either.
Thus, Mrs. Chu advised Su Yunjin, “Sister-in-law, this tofu is moldy; you shouldn’t eat it, just throw it away! It’s a pity, but it’s better than getting sick from eating it!”
“Younger sister, who told you eating this moldy tofu would make you sick? Don’t worry! I assure you, you won’t have any problems after eating it. There won’t be any issues.”
Su Yunjin patted her chest in assurance.
Mrs. Chu was still skeptical, “Sister-in-law, you can really eat it even though it’s truly moldy?”
“Younger sister, give me that tofu. I’ll cook it tonight and bring it over for you to try, then you’ll know whether it’s edible or not.” Su Yunjin reached for the tofu in Mrs. Chu’s hand.
Mrs. Chu was going to throw it away anyway, so when Su Yunjin went to take it, she handed it over willingly. Just at that moment, Gu Ya, who had been silent until now, stopped her.
“Yunjin, please listen! It’s better to throw away the moldy tofu!” Gu Ya frowned, as he believed that moldy tofu was absolutely inedible.
In modern times, moldy tofu could be made into fermented tofu, bean curd cheese, and even mold-fermented tofu – there were many ways to eat moldy tofu.
Gu Ya and Mrs. Chu had never seen these culinary practices and thus believed it could not be eaten.
“Husband, it’s actually quite delicious! I’ll make it for you and younger sister tonight.” Ignoring Gu Ya, Su Yunjin carried the tofu toward the kitchen.
Gu Ya followed behind his little wife.
Still not convinced that the moldy tofu was edible.
But since his little wife wouldn’t listen to him, Gu Ya considered to wait and see how she would eat it. If it turned out to be inedible, he would then stop his little wife.
Su Yunjin, carrying the few pieces of moldy tofu, arrived at the kitchen and placed the moldy tofu on the stove. She left it there for now, as she would cook it when she came back in the evening.
Su Yunjin still had other matters to attend to.
She needed to deliver tea and watermelon to the workers. Without a knife outside, the watermelon had to be cut at home first. Su Yunjin went to cut the leftover watermelon.
But then Gu Ya said he would do it.
So, all of the remaining watermelon was left for Gu Ya to cut.
The cut watermelon and tea were brought by Su Yunjin and her husband, Gu Ya, to the entrance of the village to distribute to the workers as a way to cool off. At that moment, the workers were quite hot.
When Su Yunjin and Gu Ya brought the watermelon, everyone stopped their work and came over to drink tea and eat watermelon. Gu Jianghai approached Su Yunjin and Gu Ya.
Su Yunjin handed Gu Jianghai a big piece of watermelon, “Fifth brother, have some watermelon!”
“Thank you, sister-in-law!” Gu Jianghai smiled warmly as he took the watermelon and began eating it heartily. Su Yunjin surveyed the house that was more than halfway built in front of her.
Gu Ya said that in about half a month, their house would be finished.
Imagining moving out of the Gu Family’s home to live independently, Su Yunjin felt anticipation. Having lived with those unbearable people at the Gu Family’s place for so long, she was now finally able to move out soon with Gu Ya.
Su Yunjin had already decided.
After she and Gu Ya moved out, they would give their room to her fifth brother-in-law Gu Jianghai and Mrs. Chu. As for Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Han,
Su Yunjin had no intention of leaving her house cheaply to them.
Since she and Gu Ya would not be moving back after leaving, it would be a waste to leave the house empty. Giving it to her fifth brother-in-law and Mrs. Chu seemed a good way to prevent waste.
