After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 191: Conflict
Facing this distillation apparatus, Su Xiaoxiao began to feel a sense of accomplishment, as if she were a researcher developing a future top-tier cosmetics brand.

She was wearing a white lab coat and goggles, and holding sophisticated instruments and containers in her hands. At that moment, Su Xiaoxiao felt extremely proud.

However, she needs to test these essential oils on herself first. She doesn't expect to produce them for sale, but she needs to be able to use them herself with peace of mind before she can give them away or sell them.

What you put on your face is no ordinary thing; if you don't do it right, it can easily ruin your appearance.

With that same excitement, Su Xiaoxiao worked all night and finally managed to extract the essential oil.

In those days, people usually applied honey to their faces, saying it could protect against the sun and reduce wrinkles. However, applying it directly was too sticky. Then someone developed beeswax, so Su Xiaoxiao bought some beeswax from the market.

This stuff is sticky. Won't it attract bees if I apply it?
However, honey has also been used in skincare products in later generations, which makes it seem that honey is indeed a good thing and there is no doubt about it.

Su Xiaoxiao pondered this question before going to her specialty store in town to check on the store's situation. She didn't have much to do each day; she would just go to the store for a quick inspection before doing other things.

That's the good thing about being a boss: you have a lot of free time and don't have to stay in the shop for long periods of time. Shop assistants don't get that kind of treatment. If you're not happy about it, go be a boss yourself.

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao arrived at the shop, she heard arguing coming from the doorway.

What's the situation?
Su Xiaoxiao quickened her pace and entered the store, where she saw a middle-aged woman in her thirties shouting at Sun.

"My son got sick from eating your jam. He's having diarrhea and vomiting. What should we do?"

"Are you sure you want to eat our jam? We've been selling jam for so long and have never heard of anything like this. We need to investigate what you're saying to find out if it's true."

Su Xiaoxiao was most worried about this situation, which is why she strictly controlled hygiene during the jam production process.

Another important point is the shelf life of the jam; you absolutely cannot sell jam that has exceeded its expiration date to customers.

Su Xiaoxiao was still concerned about this point, "May I ask when you bought the jam?"

The middle-aged woman looked very upset. Pointing to the jar of jam in her hand, she said, "I bought this a few days ago. You see, we've only eaten less than half of it. My child got diarrhea as soon as he ate it. He's usually very healthy and has never had an upset stomach before. Now he's completely exhausted from the diarrhea."

Su Xiaoxiao quickly took the jar of jam. She examined the jar and found that it did not mention an expiration date, and the production date was also recent.

"How could this happen?"

Su Xiaoxiao smelled the jam again and found that it hadn't spoiled.

Where is your child now?

The middle-aged woman shouted angrily at Su Xiaoxiao, "Where else could it be? It's been taken to the hospital now. The doctor said that if it had been any later, the child might not have survived."

Su Xiaoxiao was really confused. She immediately poured out some jam from the remaining half of the jam jar and tasted it.

Su Xiaoxiao really couldn't taste anything, nor did it taste spoiled, but why was this happening? Su Xiaoxiao was really confused. This matter seemed quite serious, and the onlookers were no longer willing to come and buy jam.

Most of them are bought for the elderly and children in the family. If there is a problem with the jam, how can we buy it for the children to eat?

"Who are you? You've been asking me questions for so long." "Oh, I'm the owner of this shop." Su Xiaoxiao introduced herself. "Since your son is sick, if it's our problem, we should at least show our concern."

Upon hearing that it was the boss, the middle-aged woman's expression suddenly changed, and she lunged at Su Xiaoxiao with bared teeth and claws.

Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao reacted quickly and dodged in time.

"So you're the boss! You heartless boss, you're trying to fool us with this cheap jam and selling it at such a high price. Don't you have any conscience? Don't you have children?"

After dodging the attack, Su Xiaoxiao said to the middle-aged woman with a straight face, "We have children at home, and they eat this jam. We've never had the problem you described."

Su Xiaoxiao frowned and asked, "Did you ask the doctor about the cause? Why is your child having diarrhea and vomiting? Has he eaten anything else before?"

"Do I even need to ask? He didn't eat anything this morning, just drank some water mixed with your jam."

"Did any other members of your family drink this jam water? How are they feeling? Have they experienced diarrhea or vomiting?"

"How could we adults bear to drink this jam water?"

Su Xiaoxiao paused for a moment and then said, "Big sister, look, I just ate some of the jam in this jar, and I've been talking to you for a while now, right? I'm perfectly fine, right?"

The middle-aged woman was taken aback. "What do you mean? Are you comparing your stomach to a child's delicate stomach? Maybe your jam isn't made well enough, and it might upset a child's sensitive stomach!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Yes, what you said is indeed possible. It is indeed possible. I think we should find a doctor to find out whether your son ate the jam and this happened, or if there is some other reason that caused this."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman immediately flew into a rage. "What reason could it be? I can't think of anything else besides your jam."

The middle-aged woman's words immediately stirred up a storm, and the surrounding crowd began to discuss it animatedly.

"What do you want?"

Sun, standing nearby, felt she couldn't stand it anymore. She believed that this woman who came to cause trouble had malicious intentions.

She actually has a set of standards in her mind, and she probably wants some kind of compensation.

I've already told her that the jam didn't cause any problems for the adults, but if she's still nagging like this, she probably wants compensation.

"I don't want money."

The middle-aged woman shouted without hesitation.

"I just want your store to close down immediately and stop selling jam and harming other people."

The middle-aged woman's words immediately aroused the anger of the surrounding crowd. They were actually just there to watch the show, but when faced with someone like this causing trouble, the best way to deal with it is often to give them some money to settle things.

However, the middle-aged woman seemed not to care at all; money was not important to her, she just wanted Su Xiaoxiao's shop to close down.
