Recently, everyone discussed this, and the rumors about Sheng Ning were not being paid attention to.
Staying at home every day, Sheng Ning did not idle around. She accidentally discovered that there were still a lot of soybeans at home, so she made soybean sprouts herself when she had nothing to do.
Having a skill in this era, saying it out loud was something to be proud of. Because of the lack of information and generally low cultural level, rural people only did farming.
Learning a skill was almost impossible.
Making soybean sprouts would later be as simple as looking up a tutorial online. But now, not many people knew how to do it.
No one in Shixi Town, where Sheng Ning's house was located, knew how to do it. To eat soybean sprouts, you had to wait for market days when out-of-towners came to sell them.
Usually, you could only buy them in the county town.
Sheng Ning could make soybean sprouts with ease. As long as the water temperature and timing were controlled well, the soybean sprouts looked especially tender and delicious.
Low cost, cheap prices, and having a tasty dish added to the dining table was the happiest thing.
Even Sheng An, who had always ignored her, couldn't help but get close when he saw the soybean sprouts she made.
"Sheng Ning, what do you think about making more and selling them in town?" Sheng An, with his quick thinking, had his bright black eyes rolling.
Sheng Ning looked at him in surprise, "Soybean sprouts are cheap and not weighted, 20 cents per pound can buy a lot. There is indeed a market."
"Right! I told you!" Sheng An excitedly rubbed his hands.
"Why don't we give it a try? Next month it's our turn to give food to Grandpa's house. If we don't have anything, First Aunt and Second Aunt will definitely point at Dad's nose and scold him."
Sheng Laosan ranked third among the brothers, and the two sisters-in-law above were both very mean. The elderly lived separately, but the three brothers took turns providing grain. Each household provided for four months, either grain or money, and it would soon be their turn.
If they couldn't come up with something, they wouldn't even have a good New Year.
Thinking of the grandparents who lived at the east end of the village, Sheng Ning suddenly felt stifled. When their family didn't have a boy in childhood, Grandma cursed her every day, saying she was unlucky and a bane to the family's inheritance. Later, when Sheng An died a tragic death, it was also Grandma, along with First and Second Aunts, who blocked the door and forbade the body from entering under the threat of their lives.
So Sheng Ning truly had no familial feelings for this grandmother.
"What's wrong with you?" Sheng An was frightened by the gloomy expression on her face.
"Nothing." Sheng Ning took a deep breath, repeatedly reminding herself, 'Calm down, you must remain calm. That is your grandmother, your relative. You swore to be a filial daughter in this life, so you absolutely cannot be an unfilial granddaughter.'
Sheng An stared at her in confusion, his suspicion growing larger. In less than half a year's time in the General Union, Sheng Ning's change was really too big, as if she had become another person.
If it weren't for some of her familiar small habits, he would almost suspect that she was someone else impersonating.
"Do you want to do it or not?" Sheng An, seeing that she was lost in thought, impatiently urged, "If you don't want to do it, forget it. I always knew how lazy you are. Hmph!"
"I don't have time to do it, but I can teach you." She had only a week left before she had to return to the General Union, and before returning, she had to help An'an cancel the marriage with the mayor's family.
There simply wasn't enough time.
"You say you'll teach me? Are you willing to teach me?" Sheng An incredulously pointed at himself, confirming again, "You're not joking, right?"
