Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 131 I'll do as you say
Chu Yu waved his fan and said, "Hey, you're half right. Everyone, eat first."

The group looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy.

But out of respect for Master Bai, they still picked up their bowls and chopsticks.

To these merchants, Master Bai was like a god.

Starting from scratch, he built a business that flourished across the country.

Within the territory of Datang, there are Bai family shops everywhere.

In order to climb into his network of connections, they had no choice but to listen to Chu Yu.

After taking a couple of bites of the konjac tofu, someone said with satisfaction, "It's really quite good."

It tastes very authentic; it's definitely from Aunt Li's shop.

In no time, the group of men had each eaten two bowls.

Even the health-conscious shopkeeper, Mr. Qian, ate a small half bowl.

He smacked his lips, thinking that eating a little shouldn't be a problem.

"Have you all finished eating?" Chu Yu asked.

"OK OK."

"It's delicious."

Everyone responded.

“Very good.” He pointed to several large barrels nearby. “What about these?”

Boss Yu went over to take a look. The konjac tofu in the several large buckets had not yet been cut and was piled together, looking cute and bouncy.

He thought they could sell them in restaurants, or even share them with the servants.

But seeing Chu Yu's stern face and trembling leg, looking impatient, it was clear that he didn't want to listen to others' opinions; he had his own plans.

Mr. Yu smiled apologetically and said, "I'll do whatever you say."

Seeing that the boss was already flattering them while they were still eating, the others felt like slapping themselves in the face.

You're so stubborn, you're such a glutton.

"We'll follow your instructions," everyone agreed.

Chu Yu smiled, and Boss Yu silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Yu said, "This konjac grows in the soil, so let it return to the soil."

Before anyone could react, a group of servants filed in and dumped several large buckets of konjac tofu directly onto the open ground in the courtyard.

Chu Yu clapped his hands lightly, and immediately a servant appeared out of nowhere, driving the carriage around the courtyard.

The horse-drawn carriage ran over the konjac tofu, again and again, until it crushed the originally red, green, and bouncy stuff into a paste before stopping.

"Good, well done, reward me." Chu Yu was in a great mood and said happily.

I remembered that when I asked Li Ruru to buy konjac tofu before, she actually said that it was sold out and she wouldn't sell it to me.

Although it was a very small matter, he kept it bottled up inside for a long time, feeling uneasy about it.

Today, he simply mashed Li Ruru's konjac tofu into a paste to see what kind of trouble she could cause.

Lowly things and lowly people are not worthy to appear before him.

No one understood his actions; they just watched it as a joke.

Most of these people are extremely wealthy, and their families have never suffered hardship or toil for generations. They don't know what it's like to go hungry.

Naturally, they wouldn't feel that this was a waste of food or something that would incur divine punishment.

Boss Yu watched as the konjac tofu on the ground turned into red and green water, disappearing without a trace after being washed away by the torrential rain.

He sighed inwardly, and after thinking for a moment, he still asked, "Young Master Chu, so tomorrow... will we still buy Aunt Li's konjac tofu?"

Chu Yu told them to collect it yesterday, and now he's doing it again right in front of them.

Boss Yu really couldn't understand Chu Yu's bizarre actions.

Does he intend to help Aunt Li, or does he hate her to the core?

“It’s settled, of course it’s settled,” Chu Yu said.

He wanted to give Aunt Li a taste of success first, and when she thought her business was going to improve, and started spending money to hire people to work, and even selling land to build a workshop, he would then unexpectedly cancel these orders, causing her to fall from heaven to hell overnight.

Moreover, the fact that these restaurants sell konjac tofu will indirectly reduce the business of Hongfu Restaurant, which is also a way for him to suppress Bailu.

Why wouldn't he do something that kills two birds with one stone?

—In Chenjia Village, Li Ruru is teaching everyone how to play cards.

Chu Xiu picked up a playing card and looked at it, saying, "This paper is so thick and stiff, and I've never seen this pattern before."

Li Ruru patted his head: "There are many things you haven't seen before."

She skillfully dealt the cards to everyone, saying, "Who wants to be the landlord? The one who gets the four of hearts, speak up."

The rules had already been explained, and the children gathered in small groups to study the cards in their hands.

Chu Xiu carefully handed the cards in his hand to Chaochao and said, "Look, what should we play?"

Chaochao smiled and said, "I don't know either. Just come up with whatever you want."

It's just a pastime, there's no need to take it too seriously.

Peipei and Yinyin surrounded Xiao Yishan, the three heads huddled together, chattering away.

As Li Ruru held the cards, she saw two heads leaning in from the left and right.

Xiao Wu tugged at her hand and said, "Godmother, hit this."

Fang Xingzhi frowned and remained silent.

In his view, this was just like those card games, both of which were frivolous pursuits that led to the loss of one's ambition.

He tried to stop them with his mouth, but his eyes involuntarily darted over, his mind already racing, trying to figure out what strategy he could use to win.

The children argued and laughed loudly; the winners complained and then the cards were shuffled again.

Fang Xingzhi participated very little, but was still annoyed by the noise.

His handsome brows were furrowed. This family had no manners, whether sitting or standing, and their laughter was particularly exaggerated.

Li Ruru, in particular, has a loud laugh that could practically shake the roof off.

After a while, the rain stopped.

Li Ruru put away the cards and asked Fang Xingzhi, "Oh, by the way, where do you want to build your thatched hut?"

If you ask me, a thatched hut is no match for a brick house. Or better yet, build a better house the first time.

A thatched hut leaks during heavy rain; when it rains heavily outside, it drizzles inside, making it completely useless.

"No need, I'll figure it out myself." Fang Xingzhi got up and walked out.

By evening, the sky had completely cleared up.

Li Ruru went to the Hai family's house and saw that the konjac tofu there was already being cooked.

After thinking for a moment, she continued walking and entered the courtyard of the village head's house.

She wanted to ask the wandering man when he would come to the village.

The village head's gate was wide open, and Li Ruru had only taken a few steps inside when she heard a familiar voice.

"Village head, I don't want to build a house next to the Li family anymore. Can you help me find another place?"

Li Ruru's eyes widened; it was Fang Xingzhi's voice.

Lu Da asked, puzzled, "Why? Do you two have some kind of conflict?"

Li Ruru is such a gentle and cheerful person, she shouldn't have offended this teacher.

Lu Da advised, "Master Fang, you won't be staying for long, so don't worry about it so much."

He naturally sided with his own villagers, especially since Li Ruru had helped his family earn a lot of money.

Fang Xingzhi sighed and said, "It's not that there's any conflict, I just think... their family is too noisy!"

"Too noisy? What are they doing?" Lu Da pressed.

What, you won't even let people speak in their own home?!
Fang Xingzhi said, "Village head, just find me a quiet place."

If he stayed at Li Ruru's house, he definitely wouldn't have any peace and quiet.

He had seen many such enthusiastic village women; they had no sense of propriety, which made him very uncomfortable.

He needs to live a quiet life alone, without being disturbed at all.

"Um... Aru, you... you're here!"

Li Ruru suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, and Lü Da was so anxious that he could barely speak.

Li Ruru gritted her teeth and said, "Master Fang, are you the one who wants to move next door to me? You think we're noisy? You want some peace and quiet?"
