Although Jiang Yan demonstrated her martial arts, Sun Shi still went with them to set up their stall in town the next day.
Compared to yesterday,
Today they prepared sixty pounds to sell.
And they sold out everything.
Jiang Sanya was so excited she almost jumped up: “Big Sister, let’s make more tomorrow.”
She wanted to earn more money.
Jiang Yan understood her intention.
But she didn’t plan to do so.
She looked at Jiang Sanya and Sun Shi and said, “We can’t make too much. This amount is already quite a lot. Selling food is like this; you want people to crave it, then the business thrives.”
“That’s true.”
Sun Shi agreed.
From today, she noticed that those who couldn’t buy yesterday came early today and bought even more.
Over the next few days,
Their divine tofu sold well, and Wang Xiuzhen and her group also did well in the neighboring town.
In just a few days, they earned over one or two taels of silver.
It wasn’t long before the Jiang family and Lin Fen learned about Jiang Yan and her group selling divine tofu.
Before the Jiang family could come,
Lin Fen approached Jiang Yan and her group: “Big Sister, you’re too unfair. We’re all uncles and aunts, why did you teach your second uncle and aunt how to make divine tofu but not us?”
“Dear, don’t say anymore!”
Su Laoda chased after her to pull her back.
Lin Fen shook off his hand and said, “Did I say something wrong? When they were bullied by the Jiang family, didn’t we help? Why treat us differently?”
“Why? Naturally, because the second uncle and his wife are nicer to us.”
With Jiang Yan’s words, Lin Fen’s face instantly turned sour, but she couldn’t find a retort.
Su Laoda was extremely embarrassed.
He was about to forcibly take Lin Fen away.
Jiang Yan spoke again, “But for the sake of my eldest uncle, I can teach you too. However, you can’t sell in the same place as us. If you want to sell, go to the county town. Actually, you could earn more there, if it weren’t for the distance, we’d all go to the county town.”
“That’s fine.”
Lin Fen happily agreed.
Jiang Yan continued, “If you want to learn, sign a document. Unless we agree, you can’t teach others or sell this recipe.”
“We’re not stupid; why would we teach others?”
Lin Fen said with a chuckle; she really had no intention of teaching others.
Because her family members were not good to her.
Jiang Yan thought for a moment and said, “You all know, Jiang Dahai and his family will definitely find out soon. They might come looking for trouble. When that happens…”
“Big Sister, we’re in the same boat now; we’ll definitely help you!”
Lin Fen was very cooperative.
Su Laoda didn’t speak, just nodded in agreement.
“You follow me to learn later.”
After Lin Fen and her husband signed the document, Jiang Yan seriously began teaching them. They were both diligent and capable, and soon learned.
As for Su Xiangxiang, she didn’t let them teach her.
Because she was never on good terms with them.
Lin Fen also didn’t plan to teach her daughter, since daughters are to be married off, and besides, Su Xiangxiang was currently learning embroidery and didn’t have time for this. The Jiang Family.
Zhang Shi knew this was obviously not believable: “Cuihua, are you sure you didn’t get it wrong? That so-called ‘Divine Tofu’ was thought up by Da Ya and her group?”
“If it was thought up by the Su family, wouldn’t they have sold this tofu long ago?”
Qian Cuihua was just guessing.
Zhang Shi then started cursing loudly: “These dead girls, not telling us about such a profitable business, they deserve to die! Da Hu, go find them and get the recipe!”
“Mother, how could Da Ya and the others know about this, it’s impossible!”
Jiang Da Hu refused to believe it.
Hearing this, Qian Cuihua chimed in from the side: “Third brother, don’t worry about whether it’s true or not. You’re their father, if you tell them to give it, they’ll have to give it, right? If we take this and make money, you could marry a better wife, couldn’t you?”
At the mention of a wife.
Jiang Da Hu wanted to marry, but recalling Jiang Yan’s resolute expression from before.
He was somewhat afraid of her.
“They’ve already cut ties with us.”
Jiang Zhengde tapped his dry tobacco pipe and said: “So what if they cut ties? Does that mean you’re no longer their father? Without you, would there be them?”
“That’s true…”
Jiang Dashan and others echoed in agreement.
They all pressured Jiang Da Hu to go find Jiang Yan and her group.
Jiang Da Hu had no choice but went to the town early the next morning to find them.
When he arrived.
Jiang Yan and her group had just set up their stall not long ago, and currently, there weren’t many people buying the Divine Tofu.
After the last customer left.
Jiang Da Hu mustered his courage and walked over. Seeing him, Sun Shi couldn’t help but shout: “What are you doing here? You still have the face to show up? Get lost!”
“Mother…”
Jiang Da Hu weakly called out.
Sun Shi was not polite at all: “I’m not your mother, I can’t afford a son-in-law like you!”
“Grandma, please sit and rest.”
Jiang Yan pulled her to sit down and faced Jiang Da Hu: “You’re here for the Divine Tofu recipe, right? I can tell you clearly, don’t even think about it.”
“Da Ya, we are your family…”
Jiang Da Hu managed to say this awkwardly, but as he met Jiang Yan’s gaze, he couldn’t continue.
Jiang Yan asked coldly: “Family, do you deserve that title?”
Chapter 9: Don’t Be Ungrateful
Jiang Da Hu opened his mouth but couldn’t say a word, suddenly noticing Jiang San Ya standing aside, he looked at her for help.
How could she not understand his intention?
Jiang San Ya expressionlessly stated: “I’ll follow my big sister.”
Seeing no hope in getting the recipe, Jiang Da Hu had to go to work, not returning home until the afternoon.
Seeing him return, Zhang Shi immediately asked.
Learning that he hadn’t obtained it.
Zhang Shi angrily cursed: “Dead girls, little bitches, heartless creatures, feeding a dog would be better than feeding them!”
Jiang Da Hu hung his head in silence.
Qian Cuihua squinted her eyes and said: “Mother, we can’t just let this go. If they won’t give it, we’ll block their way and beat them until they agree to give it!”
Jiang Zhengde didn’t speak, which was taken as consent to her proposal.
To block Jiang Yan and her group.
Zhang Shi sent Jiang Dashan, Jiang Dahe, and Jiang Da Hu to the town that day, then out of the west city gate to wait until dawn.
As dawn broke, they headed towards Su Family Village.
To intercept Jiang Yan and her group on the road.
Naturally, Jiang Yan and her group were unaware. After dinner and washing up, they each went to bed.
The next day.
Jiang Yan and her group, as usual, carried their goods towards the town.
But they hadn’t even reached halfway.
They encountered Jiang Dashan and his group who had come to block them.
Their eyes met.
Jiang Da Hu said weakly: “Da Ya, just hand over the recipe, it will be good for everyone.”
Jiang Yan glanced at them and said: “Good for everyone? You sure think nicely. What if we don’t hand it over, what will you do?”
“Da Ya, we are relatives, after making money, we will definitely think of you.”
Jiang Dashan spoke kindly.
Their faces were really thick.
Jiang Yan retorted to Jiang Dashan: “Jiang Dashan, you never thought of us before, now you say you’ll think of us after making money? Do you think we’re fools to believe such words!”
He was her uncle.
She actually called him by his name!
Jiang Dashan’s face looked extremely unpleasant.
Before he could react.
The more impatient Jiang Dahe cursed: “Ungrateful girl, don’t be ungrateful!”
“Too much nonsense.”
Jiang Yan felt itchy hands looking at this uncle who resembled Zhang Shi.
