Inside the bungalow,

After sending the text message, Zhou Ling's face revealed a triumphant smile of revenge.

She believed that Zhou Chen would be furious and have a terrible expression when he saw the message she sent.

Even if you go back to school, what difference will it make? In terms of grades, you're far behind your second sister, Zhou Na. Zhou Na is ranked in the top ten, while you, Zhou Chen, are outside the top fifty.

But as she was laughing, Zhou Ling suddenly stopped.

She felt that using Zhou Na to mock Zhou Chen was not quite enough; she felt that it would be truly satisfying if she could openly and honestly humiliate Zhou Chen.

Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to have anything to offer that she excels in.

Zhao Kun isn't doing well and isn't making big money, which makes her look good and gives her the right to show off in front of Zhou Chen.

Zhao Kun's parents would frequently come to her and make sarcastic remarks, complaining that she had brought no benefit to her husband's family and was just a freeloader.

Life is not going well.

The more she felt this way, the less she could let Zhou Chen know, because that would only prove that she was wrong.

Just then, Zhao Kun rushed back from outside, his face beaming with joy.

"Brother Kun, is there some good news?"

Seeing Zhao Kun's mysterious demeanor, Zhou Ling immediately asked him a question.

Zhao Kun opened the bag in his hand and took out the large tofu, some other miscellaneous items, and a serving of stinky tofu.

"Honey, I've made up my mind. I'm going to make stinky tofu myself. Look, I've bought all the ingredients. Stinky tofu isn't difficult to make. The main ingredient is just firm tofu, chili oil, and a stinky sauce. I'm sure I can figure it out. Then, we'll sell stinky tofu right next to your brother."

Zhao Kun said with a smug look on his face.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling's eyes lit up. Yes, even if Zhou Chen didn't tell them how to make stinky tofu, they could figure it out themselves. If Zhou Chen could do it, why couldn't they?

Once they figure it out, they can set up a stall and earn several hundred yuan a day, even stealing all of Zhou Chen's business and leaving him with no money.

The more Zhou Ling thought about it, the more excited she became. She exclaimed, "Brother Kun, this is a great idea!" But then a hint of concern appeared on her face. "But can we really make stinky tofu that tastes the same?"

"I think it's no problem. I specially asked someone to buy a box of stinky tofu today, and I secretly observed it for a while. It's just cutting large pieces of tofu into small pieces, frying them in oil, then taking them out and adding seasonings. It's not difficult at all." Zhao Kun felt that it was basically not difficult. As long as he put in the effort, he could easily imitate it.

Zhou Ling believed it and exclaimed with delight, "So, Brother Kun, if you figure out how to make stinky tofu, I'll be the boss lady!"

"Of course, from now on, if you follow me, Zhao Kun, you'll live the high life." Zhao Kun looked smug, with an air of complete confidence, as if he were about to master the art of making stinky tofu.

"Alright, I'll study it first and try to figure it out tonight. Then we'll set up a stall tomorrow."

Without further delay, Zhao Kun decided to give it a try immediately.

Zhou Ling's eyes showed admiration, and she nodded obediently: "Little Kun, keep it up, you're the best."

Watching Zhao Kun get busy,

A hint of pride appeared on Zhou Ling's face as she muttered to herself, "Zhou Chen, you're heartless. You won't give the stinky tofu business to my little Kun. Once my little Kun figures it out on his own, don't blame us for taking your business. You were the one who was cold and heartless to me first."

At this moment, Zhou Ling couldn't help but imagine the scene of them setting up a stall at the night market after they figured out how to make stinky tofu.

Zhou Chen would definitely be quite shocked, watching as his customers were gradually taken away.

At that time, she would take the money she had earned to Zhou Chen, making him regret his actions and showing him how powerful her Little Kun was.

The man she chose is not as despicable and unworthy as you, Zhou Chen, think.

That night, Zhou Ling had sweet dreams.

...

The mock exam is over.

As the learning process entered a new phase, Zhou Chen's ranking improved from over 200th to over 50th, causing quite a stir and attracting attention in the class.

After all, it is very rare for someone to take a three-year break from school and then achieve such results after only one month.

There wasn't much information about other classes, so there were very few people discussing it; most attention was focused on the top ten students on the leaderboard.

Zhou Chen overheard someone talking about Zhou Na, saying how hard Zhou Na studied and how it was only natural that she could get into the top seven.

Although Zhou Chen did not approve of Zhou Na's character, he had to admit that Zhou Na was indeed hardworking and ambitious in her studies.

While other students relaxed on weekends, Zhou Na never went out to play, focusing all her energy on her studies.

This was also the reason why he was willing to make sacrifices and felt that the sacrifices were worthwhile in his previous life, because Zhou Na could almost always get a good score.

"I also need to work hard, otherwise it will be really difficult to catch up."

Zhou Na's achievements speak for themselves; she has consistently ranked in the top ten of the leaderboard, so her strength is undeniable. If he wants to surpass her, he will need to put in a certain amount of effort.

He was confident about the college entrance exam and had practiced the questions, but he still wanted to surpass Zhou Na based on his own abilities.

As the amount of knowledge I picked up increased dramatically, learning became easier and easier. Even the past college entrance examination questions from various provinces that I had done in night school in my previous life became clearer and clearer.

This greatly boosted his confidence and made him feel more self-assured.

I haven't been to the night market for three days in a row.

Zhou Chen decided to go and see Xu Dalong and help him out for a while. He needed to relax properly because he was constantly concentrating and his brain was working at high speed.

Experiencing nightlife is undoubtedly an effective way to enjoy it.

The stalls were the same as usual, with no major changes except for a small loudspeaker playing announcements on a loop.

He told Zhang Dafu and the others to do this so that more people would notice. Zhang Dafu and the other stall owners all listened to his advice and each stall had a small loudspeaker.

Naturally, one also hangs on the stinky tofu stall.

After arriving at the stall, Zhou Chen greeted Zhang Dafu and the others, and then began to help Xu Dalong by collecting money.

However, not long after,

Zhou Chen frowned, because he saw the ungrateful third sister, Zhou Ling, again. To his surprise, Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun were not alone at the night market this time, but also had a modified stall cart that was extremely similar to theirs.

Stinky tofu!

When he saw the sign hanging on the stall cart, he realized that these two people had followed his example and started a stinky tofu snack business.

That's interesting.

They're here to steal his business.

However, he was very curious about where these two learned to make stinky tofu. You know, stinky tofu may seem simple, but it actually involves a lot of knowledge. Without a master to teach you, you simply can't make it taste good.

Especially the secret sauce, the soul of stinky tofu, its preparation ratio is a closely guarded secret and very difficult to imitate.

What gives these two the confidence to set up a stall here and compete with him?
