"Ugh—ugh—"

Aunt Zhao and Big Feet Wang, covered in excrement, were retching and cursing.

"Ugh—you, is all the Liang family knows how to do is throw excrement? You always use this trick, ugh—aren't you tired of it!"

Wan Shu pinched her nose and shrugged indifferently: "Who cares if it's cloying or not, as long as it works."

Throwing feces is really a great way to deal with these shameless people.

It is highly lethal, and since it only inflicts psychological damage on the other party without causing physical harm, they are not responsible for paying compensation.

The only downside might be that cleaning up afterwards is a bit of a hassle.

However, they had already cleaned so much pig offal and crayfish, so they were supposed to thoroughly clean the yard anyway, and now that they'd already spilled it...

"Since you're still unwilling to leave, then we won't stand on ceremony."

Wan Shu looked at Da Zhu and gave the order: "Da Zhu, continue..."

Before she could even utter the word "continue," Aunt Zhao and Big Feet couldn't take it anymore and ran away in a flash.

As they ran, the two cursed and muttered, "Damn it! Wan Shu really is a little bitch, using such despicable methods to deal with us!"

At the same time, Li Chuanzong was also at the Li family home, cursing and swearing at Wan Shu's family.

"Damn it! Wan Shu and that Liu Zhaodi are both shameless little sluts! I really don't know what they're so obsessed with, they throw feces at me every time they see me! I haven't been able to find out the recipe for the braising liquid for so many days!"

In order to find the recipe for the braising sauce, Li Chuanzong has been going to the Liang family's house whenever he has free time these past few days.

But for some reason, whenever he went there, he would inevitably run into Liu Zhaodi, or one of Liu Zhaodi's daughters.

Then, whenever they run into him, these people will throw excrement on his head without hesitation, which not only prevents him from finding out any formula in the past few days, but also leaves him covered in stench.

They've all been pickled in manure!

Li Dagen covered his nose, looking at him with disgust and loathing.

"You useless thing! It's one thing that you can't even give birth to a son, but you can't even handle something as simple as this! What use are you to me!"

Li Chuanzong pouted, feeling wronged, but didn't know how to argue back.

In the end, it was Liang Yaozu who spoke up and helped him out of the predicament.

“Grandpa, it’s not Uncle’s fault. Every time Uncle goes there, he runs into the Wan family. It’s obvious that Wan Shu is wary of us and is deliberately keeping an eye on us.”

"Even if it wasn't my uncle who went, if it were us, we probably still wouldn't be able to find out the recipe for that braising liquid."

Li Dagen looked unwilling: "Are we just going to give up like this? I heard that Wan Shu's business has been getting better and better lately, and he can earn one or two taels of silver a day!"

Liang Yaozu revealed a confident smile: "We certainly can't let go of such a good opportunity to make money. Don't worry, Grandpa, with me here, we will definitely be able to get the braising spice recipe."

Li Chuanzong never expected that Liang Yaozu, who had always looked down on him, would actually help him out of a predicament. He felt a little embarrassed but also touched. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Li Daniu carrying a basket and walking towards the door.

Since the last incident, Li Chuanzong has grown increasingly displeased with his disobedient daughter, and his face immediately darkened.

"It's almost dark, where are you going, you little slut? Are you going to meet your lover at night?! You shameless good-for-nothing!"

Li Daniu's expression was cold but tinged with anger. She glanced at her mother's room where she was recuperating, but ultimately did not lash out.

He simply lowered his eyelids and said with a blank face, "I'm going to sell crayfish."

Li Chuanzong took a closer look and found that the basket contained about two kilograms of crayfish.

These two pounds of crayfish can be sold for ten coins.

Li Chuanzong naturally wouldn't stop them from making money, but he did remind them, "Remember to bring the money back to me after you sell them. Also, when you're selling crayfish, take the opportunity to find out the recipe for braised dishes, understand?"

Li Dani pursed her lips, didn't answer, and turned to run away.

She ran until she was about 100 meters away from the Li family's house before stopping under a large locust tree.

Li Erniu and Li Sanniu came out from behind the locust tree and handed her the baskets they were carrying.

Li Erniu: "Sister, we caught a total of four jin."

Li Sanniu: "After giving the money from selling those two jin to Father, we can still keep twenty coins from these four jin, enough to secretly buy some things for Mother to nourish her body!"

After her confinement period, Ms. Sun did not receive adequate nutrition, which weakened her already frail body. The subsequent beating left her unable to even get out of bed.

Thinking of Sun, a look of grief welled up in Li Danu's eyes.

Li Erniu quickly and quietly tugged at Li Sanniu's sleeve, signaling her not to mention her mother now, lest she upset her older sister.

Then he said, "Sister, I'll go with you to the Liang family to sell crayfish."

Li Danu concealed the grief in her eyes and shook her head: "You should go back first, so that Father and Grandfather don't notice anything amiss."

Li Erniu and Li Sanniu thought about it and agreed, then turned around and went back to the Li family home.

Li Daniu walked alone, her steps heavy, toward the Liang family.

In the Liang family courtyard.

Wan Shu was currently leading her five little ones, working overtime to clean pig offal and crayfish.

Lately, they've been earning more and more money, and their workload has also been increasing.

Including Wan Shu, there are a total of six able-bodied people in the family.

Actually, if it's just making this much braised food every day, it's not too much work for them.

The key point is that, in addition to making braised food, they also have to set up stalls to sell it.

When business is good, it only takes half a day to sell out.

But if business is slow that day, by the time they finish selling and come back, it will already be close to evening.

She would start making the braised food after dusk, and then get up early the next day to set up a stall to sell it. This kind of work intensity was okay in the short term, but in the long term, let alone five little kids, even she, as an adult, couldn't stand it.

It seems she needs to figure out a way to reduce her workload at home without affecting her daily income.

"Knock knock knock—" The knocking sounded on the door.

It's getting late now; usually at this time, no villagers would be delivering crayfish.

The six people inside the house instinctively assumed that Aunt Zhao and Wang Dajiao had returned to cause them trouble again.

As the eldest son in the family, and the strongest among them, Dazhu stood up without hesitation.

"I'll go take a look!"

He walked to the courtyard gate, pushed it open, and asked menacingly, "What are you doing here again? Do you want to be splashed with excrement again?!"

Li Danu was startled by him and said somewhat helplessly, "Brother Dazhu... I'm here to sell crayfish. If you don't want to buy them, I'll leave. Please don't throw feces on me. This is the only piece of clothing I have."

As she spoke, tears welled up in Li Daniu's eyes. She stubbornly pursed her lips, turned around, and left.

Dazhu, a straight man who had never been in contact with any other women except his own sister, was completely dumbfounded after never having seen anything like this before.

He instinctively stepped forward and grabbed Li Danu's slender wrist.
