Old Lady Zhang's Rebirth: Going Mad! Severing Ties with Family! Becoming Incredibly Rich!

Zhang Guiying immediately looked over.

The shops across the street are directly opposite his shop, separated only by a road. Originally, two of them sold roasted nuts and seeds, and the other two were noodle shops. Business seemed to be doing alright.

But both shops suddenly closed last month.

Workers arrived and began construction shortly afterward.

Zhang Guiying hadn't taken it to heart at first.

After all, it's normal for businesses to open and close.

But now it seems wrong.

The wooden gate opposite had been removed, and Zhang Guiying's view was now unobstructed.

Workers are installing glass display cases.

Look around.

The shop across the street is exactly the same as hers in terms of its internal layout, decoration style, and even the glass counter and glass door.

Ah shit.

Plagiarism!

Zhang Guiying was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.

Gao Jinhua was even angrier than her. "They definitely copied our house design! Not only copied ours, but it's exactly the same!"

Gao Jinhua grew angrier the more she looked.

"Not only is it decorated exactly like ours, but it also deliberately opened right under our noses. Isn't that just deliberately disgusting?"

She threw her apron on the counter and stormed off, shouting, "I'm going to confront their boss right now and see who's so shameless!"

Zhang Guiying stopped the person.

Gao Jinhua was taken aback. "Sister-in-law, aren't you angry? This isn't like you."

"..."

What's her style?

Zhang Guiying said with a dark face, "What kind of image do you all have of me?"

Need I say more?

It's a tough image, I suppose.

Gao Jinhua didn't dare say it aloud, but her expression said it all.

Zhang Guiying gritted her teeth, "I'm a civilized person! A civilized person!"

"Oh~"

Gao Jinhua suddenly realized, leaned closer and whispered, "Going out to cause trouble in broad daylight is too conspicuous, sister-in-law. Are you planning to just have someone smash things up at night when no one's around? Sister-in-law, it has to be you! But isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"..."

OK OK.

She's not only a tigress, but also a ruthless bandit!

Zhang Guiying could no longer tolerate it.

She slapped Gao Jinhua on the head, gritting her teeth as she said, "I'm a law-abiding, civilized person! I won't do anything illegal or criminal!"

After being beaten, Gao Jinhua's eyes cleared, and she covered her head, asking, "So, sister-in-law, what are you planning to do about the other side?"

"Deal with what? What a load of crap!"

Zhang Guiying grumbled, "We didn't apply for a patent for our home renovation. If we can do it this way, so can others. It might be a bit disgusting, but they haven't broken the law. What's wrong with arguing with them?"

Gao Jinhua was stunned. "What's a patent?"

"..."

Zhang Guiying covered her chest.

These people are enough to drive her crazy.

Gao Jinhua was shocked to learn that Zhang Guiying didn't intend to cause trouble for the other party. "Sister-in-law, aren't you angry?"

"I'm angry! But these things can't be avoided."

Zhang Guiying, suppressing her anger, said, "Those shop owners on the street aren't blind. Our business is doing well, and that's partly due to the eye-catching decoration of our shops. The old owners can't renovate while they're busy with their businesses, so of course they have to tidy up their new shops when they open."

"Are you just going to... ignore it?"

"Ignore it!"

Zhang Guiying was mentally prepared for this kind of thing long ago.

Actually.

She's been in business for almost a year, and it's already considered late for similar shops to appear on the street.

but……

Being mentally prepared is one thing.

Zhang Guiying stared at the other side, still feeling very unhappy.

Just like Gao Jinhua said.

Not only are the shops decorated exactly the same, but they also deliberately opened one right under her nose. There are so many shops on Central Street, isn't this guy deliberately trying to disgust people?

Damn!

She endures!

Out of sight, out of mind, Zhang Guiying turned and went to the backyard.

The renovation across the street is nearing completion.

Two days later, Zhang Guiying saw that the house across the street had installed the same lightbox as theirs. Two days after that, she saw that the shop across the street had hung up signs for "Imperial Pastries" and "Imperial Braised Pork".

"Grass!"

Zhao Xueyi angrily grabbed a long stick. "It's one thing to copy our decor, but now even the sign is exactly the same! Anyone who didn't know better would think the shop across the street is a branch of ours! Damn it, this is too much! I'm going to smash their sign right now!"

Everyone was furious.

Chengtuo and Ermao immediately agreed, "Boss, we'll go with you."

Not to be outdone, Zhao Xiaowei exclaimed, "Me too! Me too!"

"stop!"

Zhang Guiying shouted, "No one is allowed to go! Go and do your work properly!"

Zhao Xueyi stopped in his tracks, angrily tearing at his hair. "Mom! Those people over there are obviously trying to steal our business! They're practically shitting and peeing on our heads! Who the hell can tolerate this?!"

Zhang Guiying sneered.

I initially thought the person across the street was just referencing her home's decor.

Now it seems...

The opposing team came here with the intention of challenging us to a duel from the very beginning.

Very good.

Zhang Guiying said coldly, "The difference between a stumbling block and a stepping stone lies in how high I lift my foot! It's just a boxing match, I've never been afraid of anyone!"

Zhao Binghe knew immediately that she had an idea. "Guiying, what should we do?"

Zhang Guiying issued orders one by one: "Er Mao, go and find out when the store across the street will open. Zhao Xueyi, go to Qin Xin's workplace and ask her to come over at noon. Tell her I need to talk to her. Xia Zhishuiyan, don't make those new products you two came up with for the next few days. Don't put them on the shelves yet. Zhao Binghe, come with me to the convenience store and make a phone call. Everyone else, just continue as usual."

Zhang Guiying made the arrangements in an orderly manner.

Her calm demeanor inspired the others, and they all calmed down and followed her instructions.

Zhang Guiying and Zhao Binghe went out to make a phone call.

After making the call, Er Mao had already found out the news from across the street: "Aunt Zhang, they're opening on August 30th. That day is Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day), so they're probably planning to do some promotions to attract customers."

Zhang Guiying nodded, "Prepare less stock for the 30th and 31st."

"it is good."

"Go ahead and get busy."

Zhao Xueyi returned soon after.

Qin Xin was also with him when he returned.

Zhang Guiying was taken aback. "Why are you here so early? Aren't you still at work at this hour? Won't this interfere with your work?"

"It's alright, Aunt Zhang."

After working for so long, this was the first time Fifth Brother had come to her workplace to see her. Qin Xin couldn't sit still any longer and came with him. After glancing at the shop across the street, Qin Xin said slowly, "I'm not busy at work, I'll just be out for a while."

Zhang Guiying pulled Qin Xin to the backyard.

Once we got to the backyard, I asked her, "Qin Xin, you work at the union, do you know how to register a brand's trademark?"

"..."

Qin Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

She almost thought Aunt Zhang wanted her to help sabotage the other party's business... Qin Xin blushed. Aunt Zhang was an honest person, how could she think of her like that?

Qin Xin felt secretly ashamed of her thoughts.

I was just thinking about it.

Then Zhang Guiying said through gritted teeth, "I'm so angry! If I had power and influence, I would just crush them to death and see who dares to disgust me to my face!"

"..."

Qin Xin's lips twitched.

He tried to make amends for Zhang Guiying in his heart.

Isn't Aunt Zhang's behavior another form of openness and honesty?
