The next day.

Ye Yun got up early in the morning. It was still a bit damp and chilly. She put on her coat and went into the kitchen to make mung bean cakes.

"His wife, why are you up so early?"

The door to the west room was also pulled open from the inside, and Qin Xiang'e walked out, looking sleepy and wearing a coat, presumably having heard her commotion.

Ye Yun said, "The early bird catches the worm, let's make the mung bean cakes first."

If we start working now, we can finish around sunrise, and with the journey to town, we'll be there just in time for lunch.

"Making mung bean cakes..."

Upon hearing this word, Qin Xiang'e immediately sobered up and hurriedly followed into the kitchen.

"His wife, I'll handle it. You just need to direct from the side," Qin Xiang'e said quickly. Getting her niece-in-law wet with cold water so early in the morning would only harm her health.

Qin Xiang'e kept taking over the work, so Ye Yun had no choice but to give her the task of washing mung beans.

This time, she still didn't dare to do too much.

Qin Xiang'e asked her if it would be alright to make five catties first, and she said yes, then turned around and went outside to gather firewood and start a fire.

Before we knew it, the sun was high in the sky.

Qin Xiang'e prepared lunch for the old lady, told her neighbor Aunt Tian to keep an eye on the house, and then rode her old bicycle to town with Ye Yun.

Originally, Ye Yun wanted to set up a stall in a good location in town.

When they arrived, they found the place overcrowded. Good spots were basically first-come, first-served, and she and Qin Xiang'e, who arrived late, ended up on the edge.

She had just parked her bicycle when a questioning voice came from the side.

What do you sell?

Ye Yun looked up and saw another woman selling mung bean cakes next to her.

She was about to greet him, but when she saw his face clearly, she felt disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly.

What a small world! It turns out to be Zhao Wensheng's married older sister!

At this moment, Zhao Wencui's expression also changed.

Upon seeing the wooden box strapped to the back of Ye Yun's bicycle, her expression turned even more unpleasant.

"What? You're here to sell mung bean cakes too?" Zhao Wencui looked Ye Yun up and down with disdain, her eyes filled with intense hostility.

Ye Yun scoffed, "What a coincidence."

"That's no coincidence!"

Before she could finish speaking, Sister Zhao interrupted her with a shout, rolled her eyes and mocked, "It's almost summer, and everyone's eyeing the mung bean cake business. It's true that anyone dares to try and make money this way!"

Ye Yun: "..."

She and this man were incompatible, so she silently pushed her bicycle and moved Qin Xiang'e to another spot.

Since the other person arrived first, she declined.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Wencui assumed that Ye Yun was afraid of her, and with a disdainful snort, she looked away, probably thinking that Ye Yun was not worthy of competing with her for business.

With such delicate skin and tender flesh, she doesn't look like the kind of person who'd settle down and do business honestly.

Qin Xiang'e didn't dare to speak.

She was a little scared at this moment. She had worked hard in the village all her life and rarely went out to buy things. This was the first time she had gone out to do business, and she seemed very reserved.

Ye Yun didn't seem to care at all, and deftly lifted half of the white cloth covering the mung bean cake.

She picked up a piece and handed it to Qin Xiang'e.

"Auntie, have something to eat first."

Qin Xiang'e waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, let's keep it to sell for money."

Such precious and refined grains cost 35 cents a piece. How could a rough person like her afford to eat something so expensive?

A pound of mung beans costs 78 cents now.

Ye Yun divided the finished product into five pieces according to the original one-pound quantity, and priced it at 35 cents per piece, along with other seasonings.

"Why don't you dare eat the food you made yourself?" Zhao Wencui asked again.

The two stalls were about ten meters apart.

In an attempt to strike at Ye Yun, Zhao Wencui practically shouted at the top of her lungs.

Ye Yun and Qin Xiang'e turned their heads at the same time and saw Zhao Wencui eating dry rations, looking them up and down with an unfriendly gaze.

Qin Xiang'e smiled shyly, "Sister, how could a farmer like me bear to part with such fine grains..."

"I bet you're too scared to eat it."

Zhao Wencui scoffed and looked at the timid Qin Xiang'e with disdain.

Qin Xiang'e's smile faltered.

She also sensed the other person's hostility and wondered why he was talking like that.

"Aunt, don't pay any attention to her." Ye Yun turned Qin Xiang'e back and forcefully stuffed the mung bean cake into Qin Xiang'e's hand.

This time, Qin Xiang'e dared not refuse to eat.

Firstly, Ye Yun gave her the food, and secondly, she was also dissatisfied with what Zhao Wencui had said, so she opened her mouth and took a bite of the mung bean cake.

"Ouch! Take it easy! Don't poison yourself!!"

Zhao Wencui suddenly shouted again.

Qin Xiang'e choked immediately.

Ye Yun quickly patted her back, feeling annoyed, and glared at Zhao Wencui: "Hey Zhao, I have no grudge against you, do I?"

"cut!"

Zhao Wencui snorted coldly and triumphantly looked away.

There was no enmity between them.

She just couldn't stand Ye Yun. Her younger brother couldn't even get married, and it was largely thanks to Ye Yun!

How much are the mung bean cakes?

Suddenly, customers came to her stall.

Seeing that a customer had arrived, Zhao Wencui quickly stood up straight and said with a smile, "Two and a half cents a tael!"

"So expensive?"

The young man selling mung bean cakes looked astonished and made an incredulous sound.

Yes, it's so expensive!

Ye Yun also looked at Zhao Wencui in surprise, originally thinking that she was already dark-skinned enough!
