Chapter 1692: Chapter 1090: Heroine of the Republic 64

Time flew by amidst the busyness, and after spring began in ’57, An Yi started using traditional methods to brew soy sauce and vinegar. She had done these things before in the Beast World, so it wasn’t very difficult. Although her memory was gone, some skills remained to this day; simply seeing the raw materials was enough for her to know how to make them.

Aside from soy sauce and vinegar, she also made soybean sauce, watermelon sauce, with watermelons naturally grown in the space used for making the sauce. Besides watermelon, she made many other ingredients like seeds, peanuts, chili, and others to serve as additives. If this sauce was done well, it would be a divine sauce for meals, especially delicious.

Whether it was soy sauce, vinegar, or sauce, the first step was to soak the soybeans and ferment them. This process takes about a month, followed by step-by-step procedures, and the sauces would be fully matured and ready to eat, but not until autumn.

Precisely because the time is so long and the production process is intricate, she usually makes a one-or-two-year supply all at once and eats it slowly.

This time, the production was a major project, and the children helped out after school and learned from her. In their own words, only by learning is it considered their own skill.

After spring began, they chose two weekends to go home and utilize the land in front and behind the house to grow vegetables and grains.

The people in the village hadn’t thought An Yi was so capable before nor imagined that Anna and Angel had gone to study in the city and had already reached high school.

Nowadays, many envy and begrudge them behind their backs, and some even consider sending their own daughters to An Yi for raising, among whom Liu Fugui desires the most.

For these years, although An Yi hadn’t directly sabotaged his marriage affairs, she indirectly caused him unable to have children. As he watched his three daughters grow older without having a son, wouldn’t daughters become his only hope?

But he was jealous that An Yi was cultivating the adopted children so well; he had often thought how great it would be if his three daughters were also raised by her.

Unfortunately, even though he had the thought, he dared not express it to An Yi. But just because he didn’t voice it doesn’t mean his mischievous old mother wouldn’t.

So when Old Lady Liu brought her three ill-mannered granddaughters to the An family, trying to win An Yi’s sympathy, An Yi immediately saw through their intentions.

Although she sympathized with these three girls, as they grew older, they had been brainwashed by the Liu Family, and their outlook had been skewed. When they came to her house, their eyes darted around, and when they saw her daughters holding food or toys, they would snatch them, and if refused, they would cry, completely consuming her remaining sympathy.

An Yi did not welcome them and did not want to interact, so she directly turned and went inside to avoid the frustration. Seeing this, Anna stayed behind to deal with the old woman, but it wasn’t long before the forthright Angel drove them away.

Now Anna and Angel can stand tall in the village. Previously, no matter where they went, people would gossip about them, but as they aged and time smoothed things over, they had become indifferent to many matters. As long as they didn’t care, people could say whatever they wanted. Moreover, their experience at school taught them to understand that as long as there’s life, there’s hope, and there are numerous things to do in life without hanging onto a single tree.

Whenever they passed by their maternal home or wandered in the village and people talked about how heartless they were for not visiting their own family, the two would just smile it off. Even when encountering their own family members face-to-face, they could walk past as if they hadn’t seen them.

Their familial gratitude had been repaid in the years following their return from the brothel.

Without An Yi, there would be no rebirth for them, so the reborn them saw only An Yi’s kindness and none from everyone else.

The village was where they grew up from a young age, yet now it gives them a feeling of returning to their maiden family.

Yes, a maiden family; only a married woman has a maiden family; their rebirth is no different from a woman marrying.

Anna is already thirty. At this age in the village, she might be a grandmother in a few years, and her own mother no longer argues with her. Every time they meet, her mother’s lips tremble, trying to stand up and speak a few words to her, but they are always ignored.

It’s said she’s not living well now; her sisters-in-law resent her greatly, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year, while others return to their maiden family, the old couple sits alone at the door, gazing around. They’re hoping for something, but sadly, nothing can return to the past anymore.
