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

Chapter 201 Good heavens, this is terrible!
Everyone took the small, square block and examined it closely.

Fang Xingzhi asked, "Li, what is this?"

Bai Lu: "Won't this upset my stomach?"

In her mind, sprouted wheat was absolutely inedible.

Chu Xiu: "Aunt Li, is this sweet?"

He doesn't like sweet food, he only likes spicy food.

Yinyin was a foodie; without asking or thinking, she put it directly into her mouth.

She chewed it up in a few crunches, and the joy in her eyes almost instantly overflowed as she ate.

"It's delicious, so delicious! It's crunchy and sweet."

Hearing her say that, the crowd put the small cubes in their mouths with some skepticism.

Bai Lu took a bite and exclaimed in surprise, "It tastes really good!"

It tastes better than any of the ridiculously expensive pastries she's ever had. "Aunt Li, this stuff is sure to be a bestseller."

She tacitly agreed that Li Ruru was making this thing to earn money by setting up a stall.

The others also praised it, and even Chu Xiu, who doesn't like sweets, gave it a thumbs up.

"Aunt Li, you've once again turned the impossible into reality."

Fang Xingzhi squinted as he slowly savored the food, and after finishing it, he secretly licked his fingers.

Then he asked, "Li, what is this thing called?"

Seeing that everyone was enjoying the food, Li Ruru smiled and said, "This is called sesame candy."

After finishing one piece, Yinyin looked longingly at the basket and asked, "Mom, can I... have another piece?"

Bai Lu said that her mother was going to sell it at a stall. She didn't dare to eat too much, but it was just too delicious.

She couldn't help it.

Li Ruru handed the basket to her and said, "Take two more pieces."

She wanted to give her more food, but she was worried about her getting cavities, so she had to be ruthless and control her intake.

However, Yin Yin was very satisfied and ate three pieces in one go. She happily hugged and kissed Qi Qi's dog head.

Qiqi's face fell: Goodness, you guys are having so much fun eating, but you won't give me a piece? Isn't that too much?
This is so unfair to dogs!
Just as I was getting angry, a piece of sesame candy suddenly appeared in front of me.

Qiqi looked up and saw Li Ruru smiling at it, "Qiqi, eat too."

Qiqi let out a howl and swallowed it whole, without tasting anything.

After eating one piece, it wanted to eat a second one, but Li Ruru put away the basket.

She looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think of this business? We'll harvest the sprouting wheat in the village, make it into sesame candy, and then sell it."

Peipei spoke first: "This will definitely sell better than konjac tofu; demand will far exceed supply."

Chu Xiu said, "Many young masters and ladies from wealthy families in the county town like to eat this kind of thing."

As one of these people, he naturally knew that they all liked to try new things.

Xiao Yishan, Xiao Wu, and the others also said that the business was good, and everyone was eager to make a fortune.

During these rainy days, we haven't done much work or made any money, and everyone's been itching to get back to work.

Li Ruru wiped away her sweat, relieved that her efforts hadn't been in vain.

In this way, they can make money, and the people of Chenjia Village can also make money.

After working hard for more than half a year, the wheat sprouted, which saddened everyone. If the sprouted wheat could be sold, they would be excited and happy.

Thinking of this, Li Ruru couldn't help but smile.

If her business grows bigger and stronger, she will be able to buy up sprouted wheat from many villages nearby.

This can be considered a good deed that benefits the people.

Bai Lu was the last to finish her sesame candy. She elegantly wiped her hands and said softly, "Aunt Li, this is quite good. If you're interested in selling, you could consider selling it to me."

"Sell it to you?" Li Ruru's mind went blank for a moment. "Can you even finish it?"

Bai Lu smiled and said, "It's a shop being sold to my family." Li Ruru knew that Master Bai's business was very large, but in her eyes, Bai Lu was just a well-behaved girl.

If she wanted to do business, she would also go to Master Bai.

She asked softly, "Can...can you make decisions for your father?"

Although Bai Lu is the eldest daughter of the Bai family and is very favored, she is still just a woman.

In Da Tang, regardless of whether a family is rich or poor, the family property is always left to the son.

In a large family like the Bai family, the only people with a say besides Bai Yuan himself are his sons.

Bai Lu retorted, "Of course! Auntie, you've forgotten, my father gave me the deputy seal."

Li Ruru absentmindedly pulled out the secondary seal from her bosom and handed it to Bai Lu, saying, "Oh dear, it seems this is quite important to you. You should keep it."

She was afraid that someone might lose something so valuable.

Bai Lu didn't refuse and took the things, saying, "Aunt Li, you can rest assured. With me here, everything will be fine."

She knew what Li Ruru was worried about, and to reassure everyone, she added, "My younger brothers are still young."

Those little brats have to listen to her in everything.

The group, carrying a pile of belongings, went straight to the village head's house.

The village head's house was bustling with activity, with some crying and blaming God for not leaving them a way to survive.

Some people pulled the village headman and demanded that he go to the county magistrate immediately, saying that they couldn't afford to eat and the county magistrate couldn't ignore them.

Some people are also asking whether there will be any tax reductions or exemptions this year.

Lu Da was extremely annoyed by these people. When he saw Li Ruru and the others come in, he immediately pushed through the crowd and welcomed them in.

The village head's wife chased away several weeping women, grabbed two small stools, and handed them to Li Ruru and Fang Xingzhi.

"Sit down, all of you, please sit down."

Li Ruru was the one who helped her husband solve his problems, and Fang Xingzhi was a scholar; in her eyes, both of them were honored guests.

The two women whose chairs had been removed stopped crying and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Their stools have all been taken away, so how are they supposed to sit, and where are they supposed to sit?

Lu Da's wife ignored the women's resentful looks and warmly poured water for Li Ruru and the others.

She reached out and took the large basket from her hand, scolding, "Aru, you said you'd come, why did you bring anything?"

Li Ruru's lips twitched as she pondered how to explain.

Peipei immediately said, "Grandma, my mother can turn sprouted wheat into something wonderful. Look, this sesame candy is delicious."

As he spoke, he lifted the white cloth covering the basket and handed one to Lu Da's wife.

Lu Da's wife naturally took it, took a bite, and exclaimed "Ouch!"

The women around immediately gathered around, asking, "How is it? Is it delicious or awful?"

Lu Da's wife didn't answer, and continued chewing.

One woman, who was waiting to see Li Ruru make a fool of herself, mocked, "I knew it! What good can you make from sprouted wheat?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao, a member of the crowd, felt as if she had finally found a kindred spirit and exclaimed excitedly, "What did I tell you? If sprouted wheat can be made into something delicious, I... I, this old woman, will eat shit upside down."

Some impatient women had already grabbed a piece of sesame candy and started eating it.

Peipei carried the basket around and distributed all the maltose in it, but she didn't give a single piece to the Chen family.

No one spoke; they were all busy chewing.

Li Ruru looked at Zhao Shi with amusement: "Oh my, I didn't know that old woman Zhao liked to eat shit."

I told you, no matter what I cook, you can always find fault with it.

Just as Zhao was about to retort, Lü Da suddenly slapped his thigh and stood up.

"Good heavens, this is terrible, this is terrible!"
