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

Chapter 230 This kid is amazing, he's so smart!
He Dajiao walked and looked around, from one end of the village to the other, and her mood changed from anger to peace.

Pointing to a section of unpaved road, he said to his son, "Look, the road over there hasn't been repaired yet. Don't worry, it will eventually be repaired to our doorstep."

He Xiaotou noticed that the roads in front of the houses to the east hadn't been repaired, but the roads to the west had been repaired except for his house.

But since his father had said that, he didn't say anything more.

Let's wait a few days and see. Road construction is a major event for the village, and their family will definitely be affected.

The father and son waited for a whole week.

A week later, all the roads in the village were repaired, and every household could walk out of their homes onto the wide roads.

Li Zheng lit a fire under the soapberry tree at the village entrance, threw bamboo into it, and it made a series of firecracker sounds.

In this joyful atmosphere, Lü Da said, "The road in our Chenjia Village is officially completed. From now on, it will be much more convenient for us to travel or do some small business. All of this is hard-won."

Lu Da gave a generous speech praising Chu Xiu and Li Ruru, and the crowd gathered around Li Ruru's big house, beating drums and gongs, creating a lively atmosphere.

After the excitement subsided, He Dajiao belatedly realized that the road repairs were finished!
But the doorway in front of his house still hasn't been repaired!

He rushed to the village head, shouting, "Village head, what's going on? Why isn't the road being repaired in front of my house?"

Chen Bingxiao was equally puzzled. "Yes, what's going on? No one's fixing it in front of my house."

The two seemed to have found kindred spirits and unleashed a torrent of attacks on Lü Da.

After Lü Da and the other man finished speaking, he lazily puffed on his pipe and said, "Oh, maybe there aren't enough bluestone slabs. Please understand. Why make such a fuss over such a small matter?"

For decades, the roads were all dirt tracks; you should be used to them by now.

"Alright, alright, I have something to do, so I won't see you off."

The two were kicked out, and the village head's door slammed shut. They cursed and swore for a long time, but there was nothing they could do. They could only accept their bad luck.

After Chu Xiu told Li Ruru about this, she asked with a smile, "Did you specifically tell them not to build roads for either of their families?"

Chu Xiu chuckled and said, "Of course, we can't let those rotten apples get away with such a good thing."

He Dajiao never thought there was anything wrong with his dirt road before, but now that he sees that the roads on both sides are made of blue bricks, he can't stand the dirt road anymore.

He was in a terrible mood every time he passed by the door, and several times he even fell on the bumpy road and couldn't get out of bed for several days.

After a week of development, Li Ruru's konjac tofu workshop has gradually gotten on track.

The entire process of harvesting and processing konjac is integrated, and konjac tofu is now available in major restaurants in Baijia.

Because of its affordable price and delicious taste, it has received a lot of positive reviews from customers.

The business of Baijia Restaurant was also boosted, and it became increasingly popular.

After being disciplined by Li Ruru, Zhao Shi, Wang Haixia, and Zhang Junniang became noticeably more obedient.

Everyone tacitly agreed to assign the dirty and tiring work in the konjac tofu workshop to the three of them.

They got up earlier than the chickens and went to bed later than the chickens, and they were so busy that they all became very thin.

Fang Xingzhi watched the three of them busy at work and asked Nie Tianlei, "Did you really accidentally bring them in that day?"

Nie Tianlei said calmly, "Isn't this how you deal with evil people, instead of shutting them out?"

Fang Xingzhi stroked his beard, indicating that he had learned something. This kid is amazing, he's really smart.

In Li Ruru's workshop, Ren Siniang and Wu Shuihua were also busy.

The two of them volunteered to do all the dirty and hard work, and rushed over to help at every stage of the process.

After working on it for more than half a month, they still couldn't figure out what the so-called secret recipe was.

Li Ruru's workshop no longer uses wood ash water, but instead uses pure soda ash water directly.

Making wood ash water is rather complicated, while soda ash is convenient and quick, and the effect is the same.

Every day, Li Ruru would take the soda ash from her space and give it to Xiao Yishan and Xiao Wu.

The two mixed the ingredients according to the recipe and poured it directly into a large pot to boil. Ren Si Niang and her daughter had come here to learn the secret recipe, but now they hadn't learned it and had almost worked themselves to death from all the work.

"This can't go on, we have to think of a new way," Ren Si Niang murmured.

Two weeks later, on a peaceful afternoon.

Manager Qian suddenly appeared in Chenjia Village, followed by a group of managers.

Li Ruru was taking a nap and was very unhappy to be woken up. She asked with a stern face, "Manager Qian, what do you want with me?"

Manager Qian was as kind as ever. He said with a smile, "Mrs. Li, you must have spent a lot of money to open this konjac tofu workshop, right? And the daily wages for the workers must be quite high."

Li Ruru's eyelids were drooping with sleep, and she interrupted him directly, saying, "Manager Qian, what do you want to say?"

Just say what you want to say, why beat around the bush like this?

Seeing her say that, Manager Qian said directly, "I just wanted to ask if you need two tranches of silver?"

The shopkeeper's head popped out from behind him and said, "Mrs. Li, we all know you haven't sold a single piece of konjac tofu. Since you can't sell it outside our restaurant, just make a little less each day."

What's the point of putting on such a grand show if it doesn't make money?

Li Ruru rubbed her eyes and was no longer sleepy. There was a traitor in Chenjia Village.

Someone told Manager Yu and Manager Qian everything that had happened in the workshop.

Manager Qian came to her to lend money at exorbitant interest rates, while Manager Yu and the others came to see her make a fool of herself.

Just as the group was talking, many donkey carts appeared in the village, forming a long line, creating a spectacular scene.

The leader greeted Li Ruru politely before heading to the maltose workshop to load the goods.

The donkey cart was loaded with goods, but half of it remained empty.

Li Ruru waved to him and said, "The konjac tofu is all ready, just waiting for you."

The head shopkeeper bowed and said, "I'm so sorry, I've been coming to pick up goods at night lately. I made sure to come half a day earlier today."

Li Ruru smiled and said, "It's alright, shopkeeper, go and load the goods."

Manager Yu stared at the person loading the goods for a long time, but he didn't recognize him, and Manager Qian also shook his head.

None of them knew him.

"Li, who is that person?" Manager Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, they're from Master Bai's group," Li Ruru explained considerately. "They come to pick up goods at night, which might have led you to misunderstand that my konjac tofu isn't selling."

As you can see now, I don't need working capital.

Mr. Qian's expression changed several times before he finally managed to force out an ugly smile.

Manager Yu wasn't much better off. He had come to watch Li Ruru make a scene, but he was humiliated on the spot.

He never expected that an ordinary peasant woman would actually get involved with Master Bai and take away so many goods at once.

How much would it sell for?

He used to sell konjac tofu, so he knows best how high the profit margin is.

If these things are consumed by their own restaurant, they will definitely make a fortune and bring a surge in customers.

But how did Li manage to establish a connection with the Bai family after Bai Yuanwai went south?
Just as the shopkeeper was racking his brains, he suddenly saw Bai Lu talking to someone in the distance.

After they returned, they immediately told Chu Yu and Madam Bai the news.

Madam Bai slammed her hand on the table and said, "So that wretched girl Bai Lu is really alive."

He said fiercely to the maid beside him, "Go, bring her back."
