"Impossible! I didn't agree! I don't care! I don't agree! Let that bitch Daya go with Chengzong!" Wu shouted in despair.

Her precious son is being tortured, so why shouldn't that bitch Daya be punished along with him? If it weren't for Daya, her son wouldn't be in this state now.

Li raised her hand and slapped him again: "Watch your mouth."

Wang Yiyi casually added from the side, "Auntie, I still advise you to hurry up and make arrangements for your son, otherwise, well, I reckon the journey will be tough."

She gulped down another mouthful of tofu pudding.

Yes, there's a performance here, and the food definitely tastes better.

Wu was so angry that she clutched her chest and almost collapsed. Jiang Mantun caught her from behind and said fiercely, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. You should watch your words. Be careful, or one day this retribution will come back to haunt you."

Wang Yiyi gulped down the tofu pudding in her bowl before saying, "That's right, isn't Jiang Chengzong getting his just desserts?"

Jiang Mantun almost choked on his breath. After a long while, he helped Wu Shi leave.

The girl from the Wang family was right; he had to make arrangements, otherwise his son wouldn't make it through.

When Daya returned, Jiang Mantun and Wu Shi had just left; she only saw their backs.

Since she no longer needs to set up a stall, she goes up the mountain every morning to look for herbs or wild vegetables.

"The Jiang family is causing trouble again?" Daya put down the basket in her hand and asked hurriedly.

Li scooped up a bowl of tofu pudding and handed it to her: "Look at her, do you think she can get away with this? You have the annulment order from the magistrate now, I'm not afraid of her at all."

"Yeah, I'm not afraid." Daya smiled and took a sip of tofu pudding.

"Mom, is there any extra tofu today? Take it all with me," Wang Yiyi asked.

"Your dad was a bit confused last night and ended up grinding too many beans, 20 extra pounds. I was planning to go to town with your older sister to sell them later. If you want them, that would be great!"

After finishing her sentence, Li picked up the remaining tofu and put it in the bucket. She went back into the house to check on her husband, who was still fast asleep. Then she carried the tofu to town.

Big Head and Second Head went along with them.

A load of tofu is no light load; by the time Li carried it to town, she was sweating.

"Mom, how about we buy a house in town?" Wang Yiyi suggested.

Since the RV has already been exposed, she might as well just take it out and save herself from walking so much every day.

Mrs. Li was shocked: "My goodness, houses in this town are so expensive! Besides, the fields still need to be tended. Sanya, let me tell you, even though you've made some money in business, the fields are the foundation."

"Okay, whatever you say."

Wang Yi replied lazily, "At worst, she can just make money and fix the road."

After putting down the tofu, Li left with her two sons.

Wang Yi first went to Liangping County, took out ten catties of tofu, and gave it to the shops that had not ordered tofu.

She offered a reasonable price, and without much effort, she secured another 50 jin (25 kg) of business with five different vendors, 10 jin (5 kg) each.

At first, everyone was quite cautious, but she was very satisfied with the quantity.

After leaving Liangping County, she went directly to Shi County, delivered all the tofu, and then took another ten catties of tofu to discuss business.

The talks did not go very smoothly.

The news of someone colluding with outsiders to cuckold another person spreads the fastest, and these business people are all shrewd, so they guessed that the Wang family had probably offended the county magistrate.

Even the shops that had previously indicated that they might reduce the amount of tofu ordered.

For businesses like theirs to thrive in the long run, good products are key, but connections are even more important.

"Miss Wang, our customers are picky eaters; they're used to the tofu they had before." The manager of Yufulou restaurant returned the tofu that Wang Yiyi had handed over.

Wang Yi smiled and said, "Then I wish your business great success, and I won't bother you any longer."

Just as they were about to leave, someone ran in from outside the shop: "Boss Wang, I've finally found you! I've been looking all over for you. My family has prepared a banquet and would like to invite you over."

Wang Yiyi recognized him as the steward of the county government office, the one who had followed the county magistrate last night.

She quickly took a few steps forward, her face beaming: "Does Your Excellency have any instructions? You could have just said so, why did you have to come all the way here to find me?"

Butler Li said with great enthusiasm, "What happened to your sister yesterday was really a misunderstanding. My master thought about it over and over again and still felt bad about it, so he specially booked a table at Yinyue Restaurant."

Wang Yiyi seemed extremely pleased by these words and was somewhat at a loss for words: "It's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up. I'm embarrassed by what you've done, Magistrate. Well then, I'll respectfully accept your offer."

Butler Li was beaming with joy as he prepared to lead the way.

Then Wang Yiyi slapped his forehead: "It's just unfortunate today. As you know, Shi County is quite far from my home. If I get back late, my family will inevitably worry, especially after what happened yesterday. What do you think about tomorrow?"

"Uh." Butler Li was taken aback by Wang Yiyi's refusal. He quickly realized that his master had repeatedly warned him not to offend Boss Wang before they arrived.

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture: "Of course, I'll go back and tell my family right away. I won't disturb Boss Wang's business any longer. Farewell."

Only after Steward Li had walked away did the manager of Yufu Restaurant close his gaping mouth.

Didn't they say the Wang family offended the county magistrate and even had someone arrested and imprisoned?

However, Wang Yiyi not only received an invitation from the county magistrate, but she also changed the date at will.

You have to know how many connections they pull and how many gifts they give to get a chance to meet the county magistrate.

The magistrate decides when to hold the ceremony, and even if it's the day the baby is born, you have to rush over. There's no reason for them to change the date.

He immediately put on a fawning expression and took another piece of tofu from beside Wang Yiyi: "Miss Wang, oh no, Boss Wang, this will save you the trouble of running around. I'll buy all this tofu."

As he spoke, he broke off a small piece, put it in his mouth, and savored it for a while: "Boss Wang's tofu is indeed absolutely delicious. Starting tomorrow, I'll order thirty catties every day."

Wang Yiyi understood the shopkeeper's opportunistic behavior.

She put on a smile and said, "Thank you so much for supporting my business, boss. But I estimate that I won't be able to supply the goods until the day after tomorrow, as I only have a limited amount of tofu prepared at home each day."

"I'll leave everything to Boss Wang." With that, she handed over the deposit to Wang Yiyi.

"I wish you a prosperous business, boss." Wang Yiyi took the money, picked up the tofu, and left.

This tofu can't be sold; it has a very important use.

Regardless of the magistrate's purpose in inviting her to dinner, she should make the most of it.

In any case, she is powerless to fight against the county magistrate at this stage, so she might as well take this opportunity to improve her own strength.

At each subsequent restaurant, she would intentionally or unintentionally promote the fact that the county magistrate had invited her to dine at Yinyuelou the following day.

Some people thought she was bragging, some took it seriously, and some were just watching. In any case, she made another deal involving 100 kilograms of goods.
