Zhao Han, sitting in the courtyard, looked somewhat solemn as he wrote down Fu Tu's actions and sent them to the State of Qi by fast horse.

This kid is inherently rebellious and extremely vengeful. If he didn't have a weakness in his heart, he would become a complete madman. To achieve his goals or realize his ideas, he would do many things that others cannot understand or comprehend, and even harm others and himself.

The next day, the snow was still falling, and the snow, a finger's width thick, bent the branches of the jujube tree in the yard.

A sparrow flew by, and a few snowflakes drifted down.

Madam Feng opened the window and saw Su Jiaoniang across the street. She rubbed her arms and said, "Aren't we going to open a hot pot restaurant? Let's go to the county town and pick out a good location."

To make hot pot, you need meat. Su Jiaoniang thought again about the task she had asked Jiang Shi to do.

They first went to the Jiang family's house to inquire about the progress before heading to the county town.

In the county town, everyone was cleaning the snow in front of their own houses.

After the snowfall, there were noticeably fewer pedestrians.

The two passed by a cake shop, where, as usual, a long queue had formed.

Madam Feng also spotted Granny Tang in the crowd. Granny Tang was wearing a tattered jacket, and the silver hairpin she always wore was gone. She kept glancing ahead.

Madam Feng paused for a moment. She understood that Granny Tang had betrayed her; everyone has a family.

However, understanding does not mean forgiveness.

From now on, we'll just be strangers.

The two went into the shop and inspected it. The hygiene was up to standard, and the employees' attitude was satisfactory. Although the line was long and the workload was heavy, no one was slacking off.

The only worry is that the Cai family will try to take away the cake recipe.

Although Madam Feng knew that having what others don't have, or being better at what others have, was a solution.

But I'm still not happy!

Su Jiaoniang smiled; she liked women like Madam Feng who valued money and property highly.

The two walked out of the cake shop and looked around at all the shops inside. Just then, Old Man Guo suddenly appeared. He said breathlessly, "Madam, Lu Dashan from the Lu family has suddenly died. The Lu family wants you to go over there."

"??" He just died so suddenly!

She's dead, so what? Why would she go back?

Should we wear mourning clothes for Lu Dashan?
