The Lu family thought that by announcing publicly that they were going to build a house, they could tie with the Xie family in the arena.

When they got home that night, they excitedly discussed the matter of building a house, and decided to have Lu's father go to the village chief to apply for a residential plot the next day.

Unexpectedly, early the next morning, the news that the Xie family was recruiting again spread throughout Longjing Village, sparking heated discussions among everyone.

"The Xie family is hiring again?"

"Yes! This time we recruit more people than before, about 40 to 50 people!"

"So many?! Then I have to hurry and sign up! No one in my family works for the Xie family. Who knows, maybe it will be our turn this time!"

"Go, go, go! I want to go too!"

"Don't two of your family members work for the Xie family? Why are you still competing with us?"

"We have to fight for it! Why can't I go? The Xie family didn't say that I can't go for the interview just because someone in the family works for them!"

"Yes, we all compete fairly! But they are recruiting more people this time, so we have more chances to get interviews than before!"

"But didn't they say their business is not doing well? Why are they hiring so many people?"

"These words were said by the Lu family. What is the relationship between the Lu family and the Xie family? Do you think the Lu family's words are credible?"

"Anyway, I think it's unbelievable! If the Xie family really didn't make any money, they wouldn't have expanded the workshop, bought electrical appliances, and hired so many people!"

"Yes, I said that the Xie family started their business so long before the Lu family. How could the Lu family surpass them in such a short time? This is simply impossible! Now it seems that the Lu family is bragging, but the Xie family doesn't care about them at all!"

"Right, right, right! When I asked them yesterday if they wanted to buy electrical appliances, they said they had to build a house first! How much does it cost to build a house? How much do electrical appliances cost? I think the Lu family said that because they don't have the money to buy electrical appliances!"

"Hahaha, I thought it was weird when I heard that. If they really wanted to buy, they could have bought appliances while building the house!"

“That’s right!”

...Although many people present could not only not afford to buy electrical appliances, but also could not afford to build a house, it did not prevent them from laughing at the Lu family at this time.

This is the bad nature of human beings.

In the morning, Lin Huihui went to the county meat processing factory with Lu Lao and Lu Lao Er to pick up goods. All they heard along the way were sarcastic remarks and their faces turned green with anger.

Especially Lin Huihui.

This made Lin Huihui, whose mood had improved in the past few days due to Zheng Fanglei's company, fall into depression again. She and Brother Lu pulled the cart all the way to the meat processing factory.

At first they used Uncle Niu's ox cart to transport goods, but Uncle Niu's ox cart was public property and it was impossible for the Lu family to use it all the time, even if they paid them.

So later the Lu family made a cart and used it to transport goods.

As soon as I entered the meat processing factory, I ran into Gao Baolin who was guarding the door.

Gao Baolin's face was not looking good: "Lin Huihui, come here!"

Lin Huihui's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Gao Baolin's visit to her must not be about anything good.

On the way, she looked at Gao Baolin's expression, touched her pocket, and found that she had nothing to give Gao Baolin, so she smiled and said, "Uncle Baolin, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"What's the matter?" Gao Baolin walked with her to a corner and asked angrily, "When you first came to me to buy goods, you promised to buy at least 1,000 kilograms a day! Why is it getting less and less now? I checked your accounts, and the purchases in the past few days are less than 300 kilograms a day!"

Lin Huihui clenched her fists.

Their business is getting worse and worse, and low prices can no longer attract more customers.

Lin Huihui noticed that their restaurant had very few repeat customers, and now she has found the cause of the problem.

Because their braised food tastes good at first, but it’s easy to get sick of it if you eat too much!

There are only so many people in the county, and it is impossible to have new customers all the time. No repeat customers means their business will become increasingly bleak.

If the goods cannot be sold, the purchase amount will naturally be less.

The reason why Gao Baolin agreed to cooperate with Lin Huihui was because Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi purchased so many goods from the meat processing plant, which brought honor to Lin Shan, and Gao Baolin was unwilling to be outdone.

But now that Lin Huihui imported so little goods, not only did it not bring him honor, but it actually made him lose face. Of course he was unhappy.

He had no empathy. Even though Lin Huihui acted pitiful in front of him, he did not show any mercy. He ordered and mocked:

"I don't expect you to import 1,000 kilograms of goods every day as agreed upon in the beginning, but you must import 500 kilograms of goods for me every day from now on, otherwise we will not cooperate anymore!"

Lin Huihui was now a fish on the chopping board. She had no choice but to agree. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay!"

Before leaving, Gao Baolin did not forget to taunt: "At the beginning, you swore to me that you would definitely beat Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi. I don't know where you got the confidence from. You don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"

Lin Huihui almost bit her back teeth to pieces, and hatred burst out from her whole body. She hated Gao Baolin, Lu's mother, Lu Dingyuan... and she hated Lin Xiangyi the most!

...Learning that they would have to import 500 kilograms of goods every day, which was far more than the amount they sold, the Lu family scolded Gao Baolin at home.

But there was no other way. Although business was getting worse and worse, the money they earned was still much more than what they earned working in the fields. So after complaining to Lin Huihui for not being able to win over Gao Baolin, they had no choice but to agree.

Fortunately, it doesn’t matter if you buy too much. If the braised food cannot be sold, you can save it and sell it the next day.

They have been buying overnight braised food for more than just one or two days, and selling them together with new goods, and nothing has happened.

On the contrary, overnight braised food becomes more flavorful because it has been stored overnight, and its sales are even better than before.

The Lu family and Lin Huihui both had a lucky mentality, but unfortunately, if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet.

After entering June, the weather became extremely hot.

The porridge cooked in the morning may go bad in the afternoon.

Not to mention the meat that’s been there for a day!

On this day, the Lu family set up their stall to sell braised food as usual. Business was good today. As soon as they set up the stall, many customers lined up.

"Boss, your stewed food has been getting better and better these days! It's much better than before!"

"Really?" Mother Lu smiled from ear to ear: "If it tastes good, buy more!"

"Okay!" the guest said with a smile.

Lin Huihui didn't say a word. Her eyelids had been twitching all day, and she felt a little nervous.

She thought of the overnight stew, but then she thought it was impossible.

Mother Lu was stingy and mean, but she was right in saying that it was just overnight meat. How could it be so easy to eat a bad person?

She comforted herself and was about to cheer up and continue selling braised food when a noisy noise came from behind.

She subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound and saw several men and women walking towards them aggressively, cursing:

"What is that Huihui braised food? How dare you sell spoiled braised food!"

Lin Huihui's expression suddenly changed. Was she discovered?!
