Jiang's mother sat on the back of the bicycle, her arms around Lin Jianguo's waist, a smile on her face.

She hadn't misjudged him. Although her husband was a bit honest and simple, he was much more thoughtful than her in this regard. She had been worried that he would object if he saw that she had given so much meat to her family.

Er Ya sat on the crossbar of the bicycle and shouted excitedly, "Yay, off to visit relatives!"

The crisp sound of the bicycle bell accompanied Er Ya's happy laughter as they arrived at the market.

Lin Jianguo, who was originally planning to go buy things first, was stopped by Er Ya: "Dad, don't you want to know who is behind this? Let's go to the stall first, and buy the things later, okay?"

Lin Jianguo thought to himself that this was acceptable. It was such a profitable business, and he had only been doing it for a short time before someone else took away his business. He was a little angry when he thought about it.

"Okay, let's go to the stall first."

The three of them rode their bicycles to the stall where they had sold things before. Before they even got close, they heard a familiar voice loudly hawking its wares:

"Hurry up and buy some! Delicious braised meat for only two cents a skewer. You'll want to keep eating it. It's even better than what that father and daughter made before."

An older woman asked her, "Why did you raise the price? It used to be two skewers for one cent."

"What are you talking about? Everything goes up in price. My capital is money, isn't it? If you want to buy, buy; if you don't want to buy, then get out of here and don't keep me from getting to work."

The woman had only asked a simple question, but was immediately rebuffed and stormed off in a huff.

Ignoring her, he continued hawking his wares, and she actually managed to attract a few people. Just as they were about to take out their money to buy, a voice came over: "Wait a minute, don't buy yet."

It turned out that Jiang's mother recognized the woman: "Isn't this Sun Xiaocao? So it was you who stole our business. Tell me, where did you learn to make this braised meat?"

Sun Xiaocao was initially a little flustered when he heard the voice, but when he looked up, he saw only Lin Jianguo and his family of three; Old Lady Shen had not come over.

His attitude immediately became arrogant: "What do you care where I learned it from? What does it have to do with you? Get lost and don't delay my business."

Er Ya pointed at her braised meat and said, "You must have secretly watched Aunt Tao Hua clean the pig offal, otherwise you would never have been able to make it. I don't believe you figured it out on your own."

Sun Xiaocao said arrogantly, "How do you know it was me who peeked, and not Li Taohua who told me?"

Er Ya said in her childish voice, "Aunt Peach Blossom is not that kind of person. You must have done something bad. You're a bad guy."

"Get up. I don't have time to argue with you. Get out of here. I was the one who peeked. What can you do to me?"

After saying that, he called to the group of people, "Hurry up and pay the money, take your food and leave. This business of mine is unique. Once I'm gone, you won't be able to find a place to eat here anymore."

Er Ya was furious. How could there be such a shameless person in the world who dared to steal someone's business and still think she was right? Just as she was about to go up and argue with her, Jiang's mother stopped her and gestured for her to look ahead.

It turned out to be the woman Er Ya and her friends encountered when they first started doing business. She was initially unwilling to pay for the product, but later she secretly came over and bought it herself.

She angrily threw several skewers of braised meat in front of Sun Xiaocao, saying, "What kind of thing are you selling? You have the nerve to say it's better than that father and daughter's. I can tell they haven't been washed properly, and they smell terrible. Give me my money back right now."

Upon hearing that she wanted a refund, Sun Xiaocao put her hands on her hips and shouted, spitting everywhere, "Refund what? You've already eaten it, how dare you ask for a refund? What's wrong with my food? Are you trying to cause trouble?"

The woman was so angry that she tried to overturn their table, but Sun Xiaocao and her mother-in-law, Lin Dafu, stood burly in front of it.

"You dare touch our table? Try walking over me if you dare."

The woman was a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. Seeing that there were many of them, she didn't dare to say anything and left with her things.

As he walked, he looked up and saw Er Ya and her family of three. His cursing suddenly turned into a smile. Pointing at them, he said to the people still surrounding Sun Xiaocao buying braised meat:

"Look, their food is so much better. The ones we bought from them before were all really good. That fake one even claimed to be a relative and said their food was even better than theirs, which is how they tricked us into believing them."

Among the people in line were those who had bought Er Ya's braised meat before and had a good impression of this clever girl. They also couldn't stand Sun Xiaocao's arrogant attitude, as if they would starve to death if they didn't buy her things.

Why is there such a big difference between people who are all in business?

I didn't queue up anymore after buying Er Ya's braised meat. I greeted Er Ya with a smile: "Why haven't you come these past few days? Everyone's been waiting to eat your braised meat. The quality of this product is really not very good."

Seeing that they were regular customers, Er Ya said unhappily, "We came before, but someone else stole our business first. It wasn't until today that we realized we were from the same village as them."

"I knew it! She's supposed to be a relative of yours. Did you bring anything today? I've been thinking about it for two days."

Er Ya shook her head and said, "No, we might not do this business anymore."

The sound of their voices attracted the attention of the people in line. When they heard that Er Ya was no longer selling, they asked disappointedly, "Why? It was selling well before. Is it because of this fake?"

"Yeah, I bought some from this store yesterday, and it really wasn't good. I thought it would be cheap, but who knew it would go up in price today."

"Yes, yes, you have to come tomorrow. We're not buying from her anymore, we're just waiting for yours."

"Yes, yes, my little grandson loves their spicy braised pork. I haven't bought it for the past two days, and he's been throwing a tantrum. I thought this little girl was selling it today, but it turns out it's someone else!"

Seeing how much they supported their braised meat, Er Ya was deeply moved: "Okay, we'll come back whenever we have time, and we'll also launch some new products from time to time."

Seeing that everyone had gone to Er Ya's place, and that the long queue had suddenly disappeared, Sun Xiaocao angrily took off her apron, called Lin Dafu, and the two of them walked towards Er Ya with unfriendly expressions.

Pushing aside the crowd, Sun Xiaocao walked up to Er Ya, pointed at her, and scolded, "You little brat, how can you be so good at bewitching people? You're so young and you're already learning bad things, seducing so many people."

Er Ya, hearing the insults directed at her, slammed her head into Sun Xiaocao's stomach, knocking her to the ground. She angrily exclaimed:

"You're the one who's seducing people and stealing their business. Be careful, or you'll get your comeuppance."
