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

Chapter 28 A Fool Who Won't Make Money

Following the direction the man was pointing, Li Ruru saw her elder brother and sister-in-law's family.

Wang Shuixia and Chen Dagang arrived relatively late, and saw that Li Ruru's stall was doing incredibly well.

They then came up with the idea of ​​suppressing Li Ruru by lowering her price.

Many people present had just spent 3 coins to eat a bowl of konjac tofu, and some even ate two bowls.

They were enjoying their meal, but when they heard that someone was selling it for 2 coins, they immediately became unhappy.

Although it was only a difference of one coin, it was still money.

They felt like they were being taken advantage of and questioned Li Ruru.

"Hey girl, that's not fair of you. We support your business, but you're treating us like pigs to be slaughtered."

"They're both konjac tofu, but others only charge 2 coins. Your stuff isn't made of gold, is it?"

"Give us our money back. We absolutely have to get that one penny back."

The crowd was shouting, and Da Ya was afraid of getting into a conflict. She stood there, holding her bowl, not knowing what to do.

Er Ya, with her lively personality, shouted at the top of her lungs, "This konjac tofu was invented by my mother, and only our family makes it. Everyone else's is a fake, not authentic."

The man with the mole sneered, "Little girl, does saying someone isn't authentic mean they're not authentic?"

He then said to the onlookers, "That konjac tofu is not only cheap but also delicious. I just ate three big bowls of it."

He slurped his words, wiped his mouth, and looked like he wanted more.

Li Ruru remembered that Pan Dayan had reminded her yesterday that her two nephews were digging for konjac, and that they had even climbed onto her house wall yesterday.

She recalled carefully that it was already evening when Chen Jintong and Chen Jingang arrived, and she had already finished making konjac tofu.

Logically speaking, the eldest brother and sister-in-law's family shouldn't have been able to learn anything from this.

If you let them do the research themselves, given their intelligence, they wouldn't figure it out even after ten or eight years.

Li Ruru pulled the three children behind her and whispered, "Stay close to me and don't run around."

Daya nodded vigorously, while Erya secretly grabbed a handful of chopsticks and hid them in her sleeve. If her uncle's family bullied her mother, she would poke their eyes with the chopsticks.

Er Ya completely ignored the fact that she was short, only reaching Chen Jintong's shoulder.

Sanya felt wronged and wanted to cry, but she tried her best to hold it in, sniffling.

She can't cry, because if she cries, her mother will have to comfort her. Her mother has already had a hard time dealing with these bad people, and she can't hold her back.

Li Ruru cut two bowls of konjac tofu, intending to take them over and compare them with the ones made by her older brother and sister-in-law.

Looking up, Wang Shuixia and her group had already arrived at her stall with large buckets.

"Oh, isn't this the third sister-in-law who was kicked out of the Chen family?" Wang Shuixia said sarcastically. "You've left our Chen family, so it's going too far to still use our secret recipe, isn't it?"

Wang Shuixia doesn't blush at all when she talks nonsense; she's truly inherited Zhao's talent in this respect.

She continued, "You stole our secret recipe, and you even sold it for such a high price."

It's one thing for you to bully our Chen family, but why are you bullying everyone else too?

"They have no grudge against you, yet you charge them an extra penny. How can you be so shameless?"

Chen Dagang chimed in, "That's right. This konjac tofu is a long-established brand from our Chen family. Your counterfeit and shoddy product is disrupting the market. I'm going to report you to the authorities and have you arrested."

Chen Jingang rolled up his sleeves. "Reporting to the authorities would be too lenient on them. Let's make them spit out the money they've taken first."

Chen Jintong's jumping around was just like a mischievous monkey from Emei Mountain. "You'd better be sensible and not force me to take action."

The man with the mole led the shouting, "Give us our money back! Or we'll call the authorities!"

Many uninformed bystanders echoed, "Give us our money back! Give us our money back!"

Amidst the crowd's indignation, Li Ruru coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Brother, sister-in-law, since you say that the konjac tofu made by your Chen family is the authentic one, then bring it out for everyone to try. I believe the eyes of the masses are discerning; once everyone tastes it, they will know who is the real deal and who is the fake."

She glanced at the man with the mole, "We can't just believe whatever some people say."

The man with the mole seemed a little guilty. "I just ate three bowls. It was really delicious."

Li Ruru said with a smile, "Since you think it's delicious, the Chen family's version must be authentic. Why don't we let everyone try it?"

As she spoke, Li Ruru stepped forward and lifted the wooden bucket in front of Wang Shuixia.

Wang Shuixia's face stiffened, and she hurriedly covered herself with her hand, asking, "What are you doing?"

Li Ruru raised an eyebrow. "What, you only talk about how authentic your family's products are, but you're afraid to let people taste them?"

Wang Shuixia's eyes darted around, "I...I won't sell it to you."

Li Ruru reached out and pushed her, and Wang Shuixia immediately fell on her bottom.

Chen Dagang helped his wife up, his face darkening as he shouted, "Everyone, look! She's selling counterfeit goods and even hitting people!"

Seeing that the couple were protecting the wooden bucket, Li Ruru concluded that there must be something fishy about it.

She slammed the 10 coins onto the bucket lid, turned to the crowd, and said, "10 coins, I'll treat everyone to 5 bowls. Help yourselves, there are only 5 bowls, first come, first served!"

Upon hearing this good news, everyone rushed forward to lift the wooden bucket.

Chen Dagang and Wang Shuixia tried their best to stop them, while Chen Jintong and Chen Jingang scratched their ears in confusion.

"Second brother, what do Father and Mother mean by this? Are they reluctant to sell konjac tofu?"

"I guess they don't want to sell it for 2 coins."

“If we don’t sell it, won’t we not earn a single penny? Yesterday, my parents said they would sell the konjac tofu to buy us meat buns.”

The two brothers exchanged a glance. Two coins were still money, and nothing was more important than their meat buns.

The two brothers suddenly rushed forward and roughly shoved Chen Dagang and Wang Shuixia aside.

Chen Jintong happily pocketed the 10 coins and then brought over a few bowls.

Chen Jingang suddenly lifted the wooden bucket, "Look, this is my family's authentic konjac tofu."

Upon closer inspection, everyone noticed that the konjac tofu in the bucket was white, quite different from Li Ruru's.

It also has a strange smell.

"Can you smell it? It smells a little stinky?"

"It seems so. Could this be the authentic taste of konjac tofu?"

Wang Shuixia quickly replied, "My family's konjac tofu is a family recipe passed down through generations, and it's not for sale!"

After she made it yesterday, she tasted it and found that it wasn't firm enough and didn't solidify properly.

It crumbles easily when stirred, tastes bland, soft, and lacks elasticity.

She only ate a small bite, and then had diarrhea all night.

Wang Shuixia originally only wanted to make Li Ruru's business fail, and did not expect her so-called konjac tofu to make money.

But things didn't go as planned, and the two boys just did the opposite of what she wanted.

Li Ruru scoffed, "Sister-in-law."

She pointed at the man with the mole, "He said he ate three bowls of food from your house, and now you're saying you won't sell it?"

"Is your konjac tofu only sold to him? Does that mean I can suspect he's a shill?"
