Chapter 93 Roasted chestnuts with sugar
At this point, He finally realized that Qian Fengping had been lying since she said she would treat her to a meal. She did it all to take away the chestnuts she had picked up.
She was also tricked by Qian Fengping!
But no matter what, those chestnuts were enough for the family to eat for several meals, so she couldn't just let it go like that.
Just as she was about to sit on the ground and throw a tantrum, Fang Tongxian asked with a sullen face before she could do anything: "Sister-in-law, why are you still bullying my wife behind my back?"
"You actually stole my wife's yams. No wonder she sprained her ankle the last time she came back. Sister-in-law, you have to give me an explanation for this, otherwise you won't be able to leave today."
Fang Nanzhi had been eavesdropping for a long time and was now very angry.
She thought her aunt was really crying, so she ran out, opened her arms, and stood in front of Qian Fengping.
"Aunt, you are so mean! We are not a family anymore, you can't bully me!"
Qian Fengping didn't expect the little girl to come out and was stunned for a moment.
He was already very angry, and now she saw that a money-losing guy dared to point fingers at her, and she immediately became furious.
"How do you talk?"
As she spoke, He took a step forward and reached out to push Fang Nanzhi.
Fang Tong had no time to react. Just as He's hand was about to fall on his daughter, an arrow passed between the two of them.
"what!"
He screamed in fear, pulled her hand back in panic, subconsciously took two steps back, stumbled and sat on the ground.
Qin Yan came into the yard at some point, sitting in a wheelchair with a bow and arrow in his hand.
"You, how can you shoot arrows randomly?"
He was so scared that her face turned pale and she pointed at him tremblingly.
Qin Yan had a blank expression on his face, a cold light in his eyes, and his voice was icy cold.
"Aunt, I just accidentally dropped it."
No one believed this.
He hadn't recovered yet, her face was as pale as a piece of paper, and she was gasping for breath with fear on her face.
Fang Tong had no intention of letting him go, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
It was obvious that he had married into the family and his name was not even on the family tree, but the Fang family still relied on their blood relationship to cause trouble again and again!
His voice was sinister: "You bully my wife behind her back, and you dare to bully my daughter in front of her."
"Sister-in-law, I'm not dead yet!"
After saying that, Fang Tong took action directly.
He picked up a carrying pole and attacked his two nephews without holding back. He first hit Fang Qingtian in the face and then hit Fang Zetian in the chest!
"Ah! It hurts!"
Cries of pain were heard, and the two men were beaten so hard that they screamed and tried to run away.
But could they escape? Fang Tong was even faster, whipping them directly on the calves. The two men instinctively covered their legs in pain, and then they were hit on the hands.
No matter what, He is Fang Tong's sister-in-law. He can't beat her, and it won't look good if it gets out. But he definitely has the right to teach his two nephews a lesson.
"Ouch, stop fighting, stop fighting!"
When Mrs. He came to her senses, she felt heartbroken. When had her two sons ever suffered such injustice?
Fang Tong showed no intention of stopping his movements.
Fang Nanzhi even clapped his hands in encouragement: "Daddy is so awesome! Daddy is so great!"
By the time Fang Tong finished beating the two children, their faces and noses were bruised and they were crying.
But Fang Tong was still angry. Without waiting for He's reaction, he waved his hand and took away the basket of chestnuts next to He.
"Sister-in-law, these chestnuts are compensation for my wife's sprained ankle last time. Do you have any objections?"
But he was looking at his two nephews when he said this, and if they were not satisfied, he wouldn't mind taking action again.
But He had lost his wife and his soldiers today, so he didn't understand the subtext at all. He just slapped his thigh and continued to howl at the top of his lungs.
"It's so unfair! The brother-in-law is bullying his own sister-in-law!"
Not far away, Qin Yan narrowed his eyes, drew his bow and shot an arrow. The arrow, with a cold wind, landed firmly at He's feet.
At this moment, He felt as if someone had grabbed her throat and she couldn't even howl.
The mother and her two children didn't get any benefit at all, and they also lost a basket and a half of chestnuts. They could only get up in shame and prepare to leave.
When Mrs. He fell earlier, she might have twisted her ankle, but her legs were cramping and she had no strength left. She was completely dependent on her two sons for support.
As soon as the few people left, the backyard door was closed.
Fang Tong spat in an unlucky tone and then walked up to Qian Fengping.
"If you are wronged in the future, you must tell your family."
"Ah?" Qian Fengping was stunned for a moment.
Fang Tong placed the basket of chestnuts he had brought beside him and muttered, "Don't hide it. Besides, even if it gets stolen, just come back and tell me. You don't have to chase it yourself."
Qian Fengping blushed and agreed with a smile.
She thought that Fang Tong would be dissatisfied with her for what she did today.
Unexpectedly, he was the first to care about himself.
The whole family didn't take He seriously and hurried to eat.
After finishing the meal, I didn’t even take a break and started to study the sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Their enthusiasm for making money is very high!
Qian Fengping washed some chestnuts, hung them aside to dry, and picked them out: "Since this is our first time, we should make less and then make more."
Fang Tong heard this, nodded, and was responsible for assisting Qian Fengping.
Candied haws are hawthorns coated directly with sugar, but chestnuts are not.
Chestnuts must be cooked first, otherwise no matter how much sugar they are coated with, they will still be raw inside.
So Qian Fengping put the chestnuts in the pot and boiled them, counting the time with her hands: "Let it cook slowly, I'll make some syrup first."
"Aunt, this is for you." Fang Nanzhi had already taken the candy and was looking at it with anticipation.
"Zhizhi, go take a rest."
"I am not tired!"
Fang Nanzhi chuckled and never took his eyes off the pot of boiling water.
Fang Nanzhi knew the taste of candied haws very well, but she had never tasted the chestnut version.
"It should be as fragrant and sweet as candied haws."
Fang Nanzhi was already looking forward to it, sitting aside smacking his lips.
The peeled chestnuts were put into sugar water and stir-fried until they were coated with syrup. Qian Fengping then picked out the chestnuts one by one and handed them to Fang Nanzhi.
"It looks exactly like candied haws." Fang Tong also squatted aside, looking at the chestnuts inside.
Each plump chestnut is covered with crystal clear syrup, just like the candied haws sold by vendors outside.
Fang Nanzhi gave one to her brother first, then ran to the west room to give one to her second uncle. She then took one and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it while mumbling, "Aunt, this candied chestnut tastes so sweet, even sweeter than candied haws!"
Hearing her words, Qian Fengping smiled. She picked up one, broke it open and tasted it.
It tasted sweet, but she frowned.
"These sugar-roasted chestnuts are only sweet on the outside; the inside isn't very flavorful. Also, they use too much sugar. Sugar is so expensive these days..."
