"Aunt, please let me go. Brother Jin Lu no longer wants me. Do you still want to ruin my reputation and my whole life?"

Zhu Wenjuan's cleverness finally came back, and she pushed Zhu Xiaohua's hand away.

He returned to his room with dull eyes.

"Hey, damn girl, you don't know a good heart. What have I ruined for you? I'm not doing this all for you. It's really thankless. You have to stay in my house and eat and drink for free, and let you hook up with a baby's wet hair. You little brat, you can’t even seduce me, you’re a piece of trash!”

Zhu Xiaohua fell down in anger. She cursed in a low voice for a long time before returning to the main room.

"Hurry up and get rid of your niece. The marriage has been ruined. Why are you keeping her? Don't spend money to buy the food at home. She eats and drinks for free. Do you really think that my Chen family is the Salvation Hall?"

No wonder it was the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. They both said the same thing, and Mrs. Chen Li had a droopy face, showing her meanness.

"Grandma, why are you driving her away? I still have a good marriage here, Aunt Efen from our village, do you know? Her son is already 20 and has not yet gotten married. Aunt Efen is anxious and says she wants to take 5 taels. The money is used to buy a wife for Wang Tao of her family, no, the door of her family is almost broken by the matchmaker, Wenjuan is good-looking, and Wang Tao is determined to fall in love with her."

Zhu Xiaohua's eldest daughter-in-law Li Rulan intervened.

She and Zhu Xiaohua were on a united front, so they naturally knew what her mother-in-law was planning.

The five taels of bride price, excluding the four taels that must be given to the mother-in-law's family, they can get at least one tael, and how many rations of food can Wenjuan eat.

No matter how you look at it, this deal is a good deal.

"Really? Why don't you take her to see her as soon as possible? If you get married earlier, you will lose a few days of food from our family."

Mrs. Chen Li feels distressed.

The money had been stolen, and she had nightmares every night, beating the thief in her dreams.

Another mouth to eat.

The family is even poorer.

"Don't worry, grandma. Look at how she looks. She won't be able to recover in a day or two. So, I'll go and tell Aunt Efen later and take her to Liu's house to see her the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, Xiaohua, if that boy Wang Tao doesn't like her, drive her away quickly, do you hear me?"

Chen Li asked again worriedly.

"I understand, mother, don't you worry about Rulan's work? She's already said this, so it will definitely happen."

It can indeed be done.

Because Liu Wangtao has long been interested in Zhu Wenjuan.

It was just that she and Jin Lu were a couple before.

That day, Li Rulan came to Liu's house and stayed there for half an hour.

Leaving with a smile on his face.

Another night, in the backyard of Yan's pastry shop, the mother and daughter rolled up their sleeves and were busy.

The persimmon tree in the courtyard is hung with green fruits, swaying back and forth in the breeze.

The dense leaves blocked the hot sunshine and made the mother and daughter less hot.

The cicadas and birds on the tree were chirping to each other, as if they were competing for supremacy.

Midsummer is always particularly lively.

Today Yanxia officially launches a new product, ice powder.

Last night, the whole family stayed in the courtyard, making bamboo tubes and digging wooden spoons. They were busy until late at night, so that Yan Xia slept for half an hour more at noon.

So sleepy.

Making money is not easy.

For the sake of copyright, Yan Xia also specially carved the word "Yan" on the outside of the bamboo tube.

It uses her original cute font.

"Mom, do you still have ice powder? The customer who bought 9 cups before came to the door again and said he wanted 12 cups this time. He wanted to give it as a gift."

Jin Lu looked panicked. It was full of customers today, and they were all here for the ice powder. Just now, two customers almost got into a fight because they jumped in line.

"No, no, our family only made a total of 300 bamboo tubes yesterday, and they are all sold out. Please tell the guests not to wait in line. There are still two days of the event."

Since I did the activity yesterday, I will definitely do it today.

Half a tael of silver for one cup, one tael of silver for three cups.

Even a fool would buy a tael of silver, and the customers who often come to her shop are not short of money.

The streets were bustling with people, and most of the people were crowded outside the door of Yan's pastry shop. Even if the weather was extremely hot in the afternoon, they could not resist the enthusiasm of these people to buy ice powder.

"Dad, the business of our shop is getting worse and worse. Ever since the incident of selling flower cakes that day, not many people have come to the shop. Anyway, I am idle here. Let me go home to accompany Yue Fang."

Monday was boring.

Although he came to the shop around noon every day, staying there for half an hour felt like a year had passed.

"What's it like? Are you not late any day? Come here early tomorrow and sleep in every day. Do you really think this shop belongs to your father and me?"

Zhou Laocai was extremely annoyed.

If the shop's business continues to be this bad, it will be closed sooner or later.

If it's closed, what will his family eat and drink?

His cousin came to inspect a few days ago.

He said that the money on the account this year is less than last year.

Zhou Laocai was scared to death. How could his family afford a house in the town and spend 8 taels of silver to marry his son on a salary of less than half a tael of silver a month? Of course not.

He secretly tampered with the account book, and it was for this reason that he fired the old accountant.

If he checks the accounts at the end of the year and finds that the revenue is less than half, his cousin will definitely doubt him.

Even if he only stole two taels this year.

Zhou Laocai stood at the door of the shop, staring at Yan's pastry shop opposite with poisonous eyes.

I don’t know what’s going on in my mind.

"Guests, it's sold out. All ice noodles are sold out. Come back tomorrow. There are still two days of the event. If you want to eat, come early tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. The store will be closed at noon and will open at the end of noon. Don't miss out. .”

Jin Fu just came out of the backyard and told the customers in line what his mother said.

"Hey, the queue is free. Business is so good. Let's do this. Bring me a bag of peach cakes. I want the peach flavor."

"Ouch, it's so hot. Pour me a glass of water. I won't buy the peach cakes. Let's get a bag of flower cakes. The weather is very hot. My mouth will be dry after eating the peach cakes."

"I'm going home. If I don't have ice fans, why would I queue up? I'll come early tomorrow morning and see who wants to grab it from me."

"If I had known, I would have bought six cups just now. Three cups is not enough. I only took two bites of it when I got it home and it was gone. Hey, there are too many people in the family, so we have to fight for food."

Two-thirds of the team was gone at once.

I left a third to buy flower cakes or peach cakes.

We have to close the shop early today.

The weather is too hot, and the pastries are not selling well, unlike the vendors who set up stalls to sell melons and fruits. The stalls are sold out at noon.

In the backyard, the three of them drank a large glass of cold water to relieve fatigue and heat. Yan Xia sat on a stool and began to check the accounts.

300 cups of ice powder, after excluding the cost, I made 98 taels today.

Yes, the cost is only two taels of silver.

Brown sugar and rose jam account for the bulk.

These are too expensive.

Watermelon is not worth mentioning.

Including flower cakes and peach cakes, I received 120 taels today.

Yan Xia collected the money, closed the shop and went home holding a big watermelon.
