The reason Sheng Yueqing went to such lengths was because in her previous life she had experienced the He family taking things without permission, which caused her to be unable to deliver her goods on time and lose a large sum of money.

Her sisters-in-law would steal and eat all the wedding candies and cakes she made.

Sometimes they are even stolen and sold.

They ate without saying a word, took without saying a word, and it wasn't until the day of delivery that she discovered so much merchandise was missing.

He was so angry that he confronted them.

They denied it to the death, all saying it didn't happen.

They said they came to help out at the store, but they actually came to steal things.

Sometimes they would even sneak a little pocket money or eat some wedding cakes.

Thinking back to her past life, she was foolish; she shouldn't have trusted them.

The main reason is that I was thin-skinned in my past life and easily morally blackmailed.

She's going all out for this life; there's no way she'll ever give them a kind look.

She went to open the shop slowly, reluctant to turn on the lights, only taking a flashlight.

"Alright, now that you've seen it, go check into a hotel. I don't have any room for you here."

Because of the addition of several machines, the entire store is now filled with machine rooms.

Except for a cashier counter, the small kitchen has been moved to the warehouse.

The store felt very crowded.

There's nowhere to sleep.

The shop was dark, and they couldn't see very well, so they muttered, "Can't you turn on the lights? Aren't all the lights on now?"

Looking at the bright lights outside, you can tell that big cities definitely have their lights on.

Only the stingy Sheng Yueqing doesn't turn on the lights.

Sheng Yueqing also grumbled, "Turning on the lights is free?"

"A flashlight is enough, why turn on the light?"

"Then light the candles."

Sheng Yueqing refused to light it, saying, "No, candles cost money, and I don't have any."

Old Mrs. He never expected her to be so stingy.

Why are you picking at your hair like that?

She considered herself to be frugal enough, not even lighting candles at home at night.

Who knew Sheng Yueqing was even stingier?

The other sisters-in-law also looked dissatisfied.

Sheng Yueqing laughed and said, "Otherwise, you can pay my electricity bill?"

"I need to pay the electricity bill tomorrow."

She reached out to her sisters-in-law for money, and they immediately turned away.

"Sixth sister-in-law, we came here because our family's harvest wasn't good. We thought you were big bosses here, so we came to rely on you."

"Yes, even if we sell all the grain at home, it won't be enough to feed our children, which is why we came all this way here."

Basically, they just keep complaining about being poor.

Sheng Yueqing responded with an "Oh," and added, "It's no use relying on us; we don't have any money either."

"Look, there's nowhere to stay here. Who can you rely on?"

The women in the house didn't believe it. "If you really didn't have money, how could you run such a big store?"

"Sixth sister-in-law, tell us the truth, are you deliberately making up stories about how poor you are because you don't want to help us?"

Although they weren't sure whether Sheng Yueqing was working for someone else or running her own shop, they still wanted to test the waters.

Otherwise, wouldn't our trip have been in vain?

Sheng Yueqing took out an old cotton quilt and spread it out on the crowded passageway. "Think what you want, I'm going to sleep. I have to work tomorrow."

She just lay there on the floor, not changing her clothes or cooking, leaving the He family in disbelief.

The daughters-in-law said to Old Mother He, "Mom, did we come to the wrong place?"

If Sheng Yueqing were truly a big boss, she wouldn't be this stingy, would she?

For these country folk, those who can afford it will wash up before going to bed.

She didn't even change her clothes, she just lay down on the floor and fell asleep?

Old Mrs. He was also puzzled.

"That shouldn't be the case. What that fellow villager said seemed so true. She even said they drove two cars."

"I guess she's pretending to be poor because she's afraid we'll try to extort her."

"Keep an eye on her tomorrow; I don't believe she won't slip up."

The wives nodded. "But where will we sleep now?"

This shop looks big, but it's very cramped inside. There's only one aisle left, and Sheng Yueqing is sleeping there. How are we supposed to stay here?

Old Mrs. He didn't believe in superstitions and wanted to go past Sheng Yueqing to see if there was anywhere for her to stay.

Who knew that when she lifted her foot, Sheng Yueqing tripped and almost fell flat on her face.

Fortunately, several of her wives helped her up.

Old Mrs. He was furious, "Sheng Yueqing, how dare you harm me?"

Sheng Yueqing remained unmoved. "The room is already crowded. If you wander around and bump into something, it's your own fault."

"I would say the same thing even if the police came."

Old Mrs. He wished she could chop her to death; Sheng Yueqing was even more shameless than her.

"Stomp on me, stomp on my heart."

"If anything happens to me, you'll be a murderer. The police will arrest you and shoot you!"

Old Mrs. He was about to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"You unfilial son!"

She sat down and started wailing.

The voice was so loud that even the neighboring shopkeepers could hear it.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Yueqing howled louder than her.

"My life is so miserable! My mother-in-law came empty-handed, wanting to eat and drink for free, but I have no money either. This is killing me!"

Old Mother He...

She never dreamed that the seemingly gentle and refined Sheng Yueqing would actually resort to the wailing and howling of a country old woman.

The way he howled was quite convincing.

The neighbors and shopkeepers outside were whispering amongst themselves.

It seems everyone says that country women are difficult to deal with, and probably not good mothers-in-law.

Old Mrs. He was both angry and ashamed, and stood up abruptly, saying, "You just wait!"

She came with a purpose, but now she's tucked her tail between her legs and run away.

As for where they go, Sheng Yueqing doesn't care.

They'll be back tomorrow anyway.

After the He family left, she closed the door, cleaned the house, and opened a window to let the smell dissipate.

Finally, I took a shower and then loaded all the wedding cakes into the car.
