Seeing that they were busy, Sheng Yueqing quickly went back to her car.

We went to the industrial zone to see the factory buildings.

She carefully selected locations, mainly choosing those with good environments.

After all, those who make food are most particular about hygiene.

Choose a place with a clean surrounding environment.

In addition, the price should be affordable.

Otherwise, if it's too expensive, the cost might be too high; if it's too cheap, people might worry about the surrounding air quality, and they wouldn't dare to eat it if they saw it.

Therefore, you need to choose a better environment.

She avoids shopping near chemical and plastic factories to save money.

I've been looking all night but haven't made a decision yet. I'll continue looking tomorrow.

She drove back and parked her car behind the shop.

Then we saw that Grandma He and the others had also returned.

They looked exhausted, and their faces and bodies were covered in dirt.

Just like when He Yushen went to the dock to move goods before.

Sheng Yueqing greeted them, "You're back too?"

When Grandma He and the others saw her, they were too exhausted to scold her.

Where did you go?

"They didn't even bring us some water."

Sheng Yueqing went to open the shop door and brought them some cold water.

The group, starving, were forced to drink the dregs of water, and were on the verge of fainting from exhaustion.

"Working at the dock is too tiring. Although I earn seven or eight dollars, my shoulders are going to be ruined."

Sheng Yueqing scoffed, "Now you know how hard my brother Shen works moving goods every day, right?"

"If I don't let you experience it for yourself, you'll all think he makes money easily."

These people always take He Yushen's hard work for granted.

If we don't let them experience it for themselves, they'll think that other people's hard-earned money comes easily.

Unfortunately, the He family members didn't care at all whether He Yushen was working hard or not.

They only care about themselves.

"Alright, we're starving, hurry up and make us something to eat."

Sheng Yueqing said "Oh," and reheated the large pot of dried taro left over from lunch. "Eat up."

Grandma He and a few others...

"Why is it taro again?"

Sheng Yueqing took a piece and ate it first.

“If you don’t want to eat, go to a restaurant. I see you’ve all made several yuan. Seven yuan per person, so forty-two yuan for the six of you, that’s enough for a good meal.”

Whenever it came to spending their money, Grandma He and the others would clutch their purses tightly, unwilling to spend a penny.

Instead, he said to Sheng Yueqing, "We are guests who have come from afar, can't you contribute some money?"

Sheng Yueqing spread her hands, "No way. You have so many mouths to feed, it's not like you only have one. I can't bear to do that."

"If it were just one person, it would be fine, but with so many people, how much money would that cost?"

"you."

They originally wanted to accuse Sheng Yueqing of being stingy.

Sheng Yueqing then said, "How about I treat you to potatoes? Didn't you say you wanted to eat potatoes yesterday?"

As he spoke, he went and brought out a large plate of dry potatoes.

"Let's splurge this time, shall I add some salt for you? Am I generous enough?"

Grandma He and a few others...

You're so arrogant!

You're the one who should be angry.

Sheng Yueqing, however, was very enthusiastic, "How about I treat you to a meal at a restaurant?"

The He family matriarch's eyes lit up, and she was about to stand up when Sheng Yueqing said, "You all brought your money, right?"

Grandma He and the others quickly covered their money bags, "Why are you asking about our money when you're treating us?"

Sheng Yueqing smiled slyly, "Hey, I was just asking."

"Let's go, I'll take you to a restaurant."

He kept glancing at their pockets as he spoke.

Old Mrs. He and her daughters-in-law dared not go. If they went, would they be asked to pay?

This money is hard-earned; it's their blood and sweat.

If they hadn't witnessed Sheng Yueqing's stingy behavior a couple of days ago, they might have actually gone out to eat with her.

But having witnessed her stinginess, I didn't dare go.

What if she doesn't pay and just runs away? Wouldn't they have to pay?

I think I'll pass.

"I'm not going, I'll just eat at home."

"Yes, we'll eat at home."

Sheng Yueqing laughed, "Oh my, I was going to treat you all to a meal at a restaurant, but you all refused. You're saving me so much money. You're all so kind."

Some neighbors passed by and overheard the conversation. Sheng Yueqing laughed and repeated it to them, "I was going to treat my sisters-in-law to a meal, but they didn't want me to spend the money. That's really nice of them."

The neighbor gave a perfunctory compliment, smiled, and left.

Old Mrs. He and her family were utterly frustrated.

But the words have already been spoken.

There's no point in going back on your word now.

So he had no choice but to tell Sheng Yueqing, "Why don't you go buy some meat? It's not good to keep eating potatoes."

Sheng Yueqing shook her head, "At this hour, the vegetables at the market aren't fresh anymore. Let's do it tomorrow."

It's already eight or nine o'clock at night.

Grandma He thought about it and agreed; vegetables are freshest in the morning.

"Then we'll just have to make do."

So we ate potatoes from Gan Ye again that night.

I don't know how these potatoes grew, they're so starchy, almost to the point of being dry.

Unlike some potatoes that are soft and mushy or crispy.

Sheng Yueqing's words almost choked them to death.

Finally, they filled a large tank with water, and then it went down smoothly.

The group was exhausted from eating and didn't want to argue anymore, so they lay down on the floor, intending to sleep there.

Old Mrs. He felt that as the mother-in-law, she shouldn't sleep on the floor like that, so she said to Sheng Yueqing, "Let me sleep upstairs, otherwise if I get sick, it will be your fault."

Sheng Yueqing responded with an "Oh," and then said, "Okay."

She went to unlock the attic.

Old Mrs. He was overjoyed, not expecting it to be so effective, and immediately went upstairs.

Several daughters-in-law also went up to see if there was anything there.

To my surprise, as soon as I went up to the attic, I saw piles and piles of unassembled packaging boxes.
