“I was also unaware of this,” Zhuang Sifu said. “It was Uncle Yonghe who urgently sought me out, mentioning that there were certain matters involving the tofu mill so he asked me to hurry to town and bring you back. Seeing the panic in Uncle Yonghe, I guessed the matter was not small and hurried to fetch you.”

Something happened at the tofu mill?

If it were not a small matter, it wouldn’t have put Zhuang Yonghe into such a rush.

Zhuang Qingning’s face darkened, she quickly informed Zhang Qiuying and Mrs. Cao, and hurried home with Zhuang Qingsui accompanied by Zhuang Sifu.

The tofu mill was Zhuang Qingning’s backbone, and it was also where Zhuang Sifu made his silver. Therefore, he did not dare to delay. He swiftly drove the bullock cart towards the village, with the whip cracking loudly against the bulls.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw that Zhuang Yonghe was already waiting.

“Uncle He, what’s happened?” Zhuang Qingning jumped down from the bullock cart: “What happened at the tofu mill?”

“I heard from Mingliang.”

Zhuang Yonghe wiped a layer of forehead sweat caused by the heat and anxiety, saying,

“It seems that near noon, Aunt Wen’s household suddenly became bustling, it appeared that her two sons had returned home. At first, everyone didn’t care much. It was normal for a son to return and see his mother. But then the noises became louder as if they were arguing, this made everyone worried. However, as Aunt Wen’s relationship with her children was not good, and it was a private family matter, everyone thought it best not to interfere.”

“As the argument escalated, Aunt Wen’s two sons suddenly showed up at the tofu mill, and announced that they would not be renting the tofu mill anymore. They told the people working in the tofu mill to finish today’s work and pack up to go home.”

“After the two men had spoken, Aunt Wen appeared. She told everyone not to listen to her sons, and that they just needed to listen to her, and the tofu mill would operate as usual. This led to another fight. In the end, Aunt Wen’s two sons did not argue anymore at the tofu mill, instead, they went to the entrance of your house, mentioning that they would wait for you to return so they could properly discuss the matter of the tofu mill.”

“When Mingliang saw that the matter was not right, he immediately went back and told me about it. So, I quickly sent Sifu to the town to fetch you, so we could see what was going on.”

“Let’s go, let’s see what’s happening,” Zhuang Qingning said with furrowed brows, walking ahead with Zhuang Yonghe, not even thinking about getting into the bullock cart.

Behind them, Zhuang Sifu hurriedly drove the bullock cart carrying Zhuang Qingsui and followed.

When they arrived at the gate, they indeed saw Aunt Wen’s two sons, Zhuang Yutian and Zhuang Yucheng, waiting at the entrance of the courtyard.

When they saw Zhuang Qingning approaching, they walked towards her: “You must be Ning, right?”

“Uncle Yutian, Uncle Yuchcng,” Zhuang Qingning replied.

“We haven’t been in the village for quite some time, many people have changed. You’ve grown so big now, Ning” Zhuang Yutian said.

He was just exchanging pleasantries, but his tone was lukewarm, making one feel uncomfortable.

Apparently angry, but unable to vent at the moment, he could only hold back his temper and talk to Zhuang Qingning.
