"Oh, isn't this Aunt Juan and Ayan back from their business? How much did they have left unsold?" Zhu Xiaoping asked in a strange voice as she came out of the house.

There was no way around it; Su Yan's house and her house were separated by only one wall, so it was hard for Zhu Xiaoping not to notice.

Li Juan stepped down from the carriage and, upon hearing this, immediately glared at him, angrily saying, "What do you mean by that? You can't stand to see my family doing well, can you? If you can't speak properly, then shut your stinking mouth! Otherwise, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

She really couldn't understand how Zhu Xiaoping, who used to be such a good person, could have changed so much after she found out that Ayan was going to do business.

Zhu Xiaoping choked. She didn't want to be labeled as disrespectful to her elders, so she snorted and said, "I just think your prices are too high. City people aren't stupid. How could they possibly buy such expensive braised food?"

"I'm really sorry to disappoint you." Su Yan said with a smile after unloading the iron bucket from the oxcart. "I set up my stall at seven o'clock and closed at nine-thirty. Aunt Zhu, you have no idea how much city people love my braised food. It's a pity I made too little. There were more than a dozen people who didn't get any. They even took the broth back to mix with their noodles. So I bought several dozen more kilograms of braised food, planning to sell more tomorrow."

"How is this possible!" Zhu Xiaoping's voice suddenly rose as she looked at Su Yan in disbelief.

Upon hearing this, the onlookers immediately lost their composure and rushed forward to surround Su Yan.

"Su Yan, is your braised food really selling that well?"

"Yeah, so many buckets of braised food, and the price is so high, can they really sell out so quickly? You're not kidding us."

"How many kilograms did you buy today? Can I try them with you?"

...

Li Juan was extremely anxious looking at the greedy faces of the villagers, fearing that her daughter would be too shy to refuse them.

"Ladies, please listen to me first."

Su Yan's clear and loud voice quickly quieted the restless crowd.

She began in a well-organized manner: "First, I developed this braised dish myself. It contains many precious Chinese herbs, all of which I personally collected from the mountains. Not to mention how dangerous the deep mountains are, even if I told you the recipe, you wouldn't know how to distinguish the herbs."

Secondly, no matter what you sell at a stall, as long as you have good skills, you can choose to make the food you're good at and sell it. Even if you don't make a lot of money, you can still make a little. Of course, customers aren't stupid. If you're just trying to make something quick and easy, your business definitely won't last long. I've said everything I need to say; you can consider it."

Su Yan felt that although there were many problematic people in the village, she still hoped that the villagers would become rich, out of respect for the brigade leader.

She felt she had done a good job, but there were still people dissatisfied.

"It's just gathering herbs, right? You can just go up the mountain with us, we'll go with you."

"That's right, we're all from the same village, isn't it normal to help each other out?"

Li Juan was so angry she laughed when she heard this, and retorted, "According to your logic, wouldn't it be best if my daughter made the food for you, sold it, and then gave you the money?"

"I didn't say that, I just told your daughter not to be so stingy."

"That's right, we genuinely want to do it too, otherwise why would we have the nerve to ask a little girl?"

"Do it or don't, don't even think about getting any benefits from me. I, Su Yan, am not someone to be trifled with. If you piss me off, I'll make you regret it. Stay away from my house in the future, or I'll make you pay for this."

After uttering those harsh words, Su Yan went into her house without looking back.

She was truly exhausted.

Damn it, even though she knew how awful rural people were, when it happened to her, she really wanted to slap each of them across the face!

Of course, those people outside didn't dare to offend Su Yan too much, after all, their family had received a considerable amount of the meat she had found.

What if we offend someone too much and they don't give them anything next time?

Zhu Xiaoping shouted sarcastically at Su Yan's house, "Everyone saw that, right? They've made a fortune in business and now they look down on us country folk. We're all college graduates, don't they even respect their elders?!"

"Splash—!"

Before Zhu Xiaoping could finish speaking, a basin of swill reeking of sour and foul odor was splashed directly in her face.

Su Yan looked at her with a stern face and said sternly, "Calling you 'Auntie' is giving you face, not letting you take advantage of me. Zhu Xiaoping, I don't care if you're jealous of me or envious of me. If I hear you barking like a dog in front of me again, I'll report you to the police for spreading rumors. If you don't spend ten days or half a month in jail, I'll change my name!"

This Su Yan is not Su Yan at this moment; she is the decisive and efficient CEO Su from her previous life, exuding a fierce and powerful aura.

Zhu Xiaoping was trembling with anger, but when she met Su Yan's murderous gaze, her mind went blank and she couldn't utter a sound.

The others were also frightened and retreated repeatedly; no one knew that Su Yan had such a temper.

Su Yan gave a warning look before turning around and going home.

She had truly reached her breaking point.

If she keeps putting up with this, she'll become a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!

This is not like Su Yan at all!

Moreover, Zhu Xiaoping is always running around her, so it would be a shame not to lash out at her for all this.

Li Juan, who was in the courtyard, also felt relieved and said to her daughter, "Ayan, let's move to the town as soon as possible. There are too many people and too much gossip in the village. Even if we do business, we will be watched all the time."

Su Yan nodded. "I forgot to ask today. I'll ask Manager Tang if he has any reliable renovation company recommendations when I go to Baicaotang in a couple of days."

"Ayan, as long as we have a place to stay, there's no need to go through the trouble of decorating, right?" Li Juan was a little reluctant to spend the money.

When her daughter said that, she knew that the renovation would cost at least several hundred yuan.

Li Juan didn't realize that she hadn't thought things through enough.

“Mom, the house is our own. The better it is decorated, the longer we can use it.” Su Yan said, “You don’t need to worry about this. I’ll arrange it. We’ll try to move in next month.”

What else can Li Juan say?

Oh well, my daughter can earn money, so let her do whatever she wants.

After discussing the house, Grandma Li was making lunch, while the mother and daughter counted money in the yard.

Su Yan noticed someone was spying on her from next door. She knew who it was without even guessing, but she ignored it.

If Zhu Xiaoping doesn't repent, she really will spend some time dealing with her.

It took about half an hour to finally finish counting.

Clutching a wad of cash, Li Juan exclaimed as if in a dream, "Eight hundred and fifty-two yuan! After deducting one hundred yuan for costs, we still have seven hundred and fifty-two left! My God, Ayan, am I dreaming? We actually made so much money today?!"

This 700-plus yuan is different from the several thousand yuan my daughter earned selling herbs.

She earned the money from participating in it, which is why she was so excited!

Li Juan felt all her fatigue vanish and was filled with energy!

More than 700 a day!

This is a number she never dared to imagine before today!
