From the source of the water deep in the back mountain, Song Yinhua poured the spiritual spring water from her space into it.
Soon, the rivers and ditches throughout the village will be filled with water from the spiritual spring. After being irrigated by the spiritual spring water, the crops, vegetables, and other plants in the village will grow more luxuriantly. The villagers and their poultry will also become healthier after drinking this water, and the poultry will grow fatter.
Song Yinhua carried a basket of herbs and wild vegetables on her back and led a black wolfhound down the mountain.
The little flower in the yard was eating sweet potatoes next to the black wolfhound, which made the black wolfhound drool.
Li Wenxiu arrived at this time.
"Little Flower, is your mom home?"
"Woof!" one of the black wolfhounds barked at Li Wenxiu.
Little Flower raised her hand and slapped the black wolfhound hard. "This is your aunt, you're not allowed to be mean to your aunt!"
"Woof woof!" Little Flower heard the call and raised her thin little arm to hit the black wolfhound hard, making the black wolfhound feel very wronged.
It didn't make a sound.
"Little Flower!" Song Yinhua returned at this moment, leading a black wolfhound.
The one that barked twice was the one next to Song Yinhua.
"Wenxiu, what are you doing here? Didn't you go to the shop in the county town?"
"Big sister, I need to talk to you about something," Li Wenxiu said.
Song Yinhua pushed open the courtyard gate and invited Li Wenxiu in.
"Sister, it's too much trouble for Baogen and me to come over to get minced meat every day. Could you tell me the proportions for making minced meat? I'll make minced meat at the shop in the county town according to your method, so I don't have to run back and forth every day. Baogen can also go to work with peace of mind and won't have to take leave every day. The boss is already complaining."
Song Yinhua saw through Li Wenxiu's scheme to obtain the formula.
"Okay, I'll go to your shop in the county town first thing tomorrow morning and bring you the recipe for making minced meat."
Upon hearing this, Li Wenxiu left happily.
The next morning, after settling the mentally ill old woman and Xiao Xiaohua in, Song Yinhua had several black wolfhounds guard them at home, and then she took a car to the county town alone.
She walked around the kitchen and saw that there was still more than half a tank of water left in the kitchen water tank. When no one was around, she took several buckets of water from her space and poured them into the water tank, filling the large water tank to the brim.
This tank of water is enough to last for several months.
She wrote down the ingredients and proportions for making the minced meat and handed it to Li Wenxiu. Song Caixing was also present.
She specifically instructed them that the water used to soak the scallions, ginger, and garlic must be from a large water vat.
As soon as Song Yinhua finished explaining, Li Wenxiu spoke up.
"Big sister, from now on we'll make all the meat filling in the shop ourselves, and you won't need to provide the recipe. So from now on you shouldn't be involved in the shop's profit sharing." Li Wenxiu said this while sweating profusely, feeling extremely guilty.
This idea was devised by Song Qiuxue, and it also protected her own interests to the greatest extent possible.
She didn't want to work hard for a month only to have most of it given away to others.
Song Yinhua was not surprised and agreed to withdraw from the partnership and no longer participate in the store's profit sharing.
“You should change the shop sign. This shop has nothing to do with me anymore,” Song Yinhua said.
She did this much out of consideration for her younger brother Baogen; she has done more than enough.
Li Wenxiu was secretly pleased to see that Song Yinhua agreed so easily, knowing that she wouldn't have to give away half of the profits anymore.
When Song Yinhua left the wonton shop in the county town, she felt much more relaxed.
She had long suspected that Li Wenxiu had deliberately tried to steal her filling recipe. Once she handed over the recipe, Li Wenxiu would likely find an excuse to prevent her from sharing the profits.
She knew the shop wouldn't last long when Li Wenxiu and Song Caixing clashed over accounts, and now that she's leaving early, it might not be a bad thing.
No sooner had Song Yinhua left than Li Wenxiu said to Song Caixing, "The money you put into opening the shop before is considered a loan from me. It was my parents' money for their funerals. I will pay it back to my parents tomorrow. From now on, this shop has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to share any more money with me."
"Second sister-in-law, how could you do this?" Song Caixing objected. "We agreed to open a shop together. Now that the shop is making money, you're saying that the money I contributed was a loan to you. That's so unfair of you. I'd rather say that the money you contributed was a loan to you."
"Caixing, why are you so calculating? You didn't contribute a single penny to opening this wonton shop; it was all money I raised, plus our parents' funeral savings. You can't be so greedy. You didn't contribute a single penny and you still want to take over the shop all by yourself!"
The two women, an aunt and a sister-in-law, had a few words in their mouth.
Li Wenxiu had Song Caixing carried out.
Song Caixing angrily went to her parents and second brother to complain. Song Baogen asked Li Wenxiu to fulfill the contract and share the profits with her older and younger sisters every month, but Li Wenxiu refused outright.
The couple had a fight over this, but Li Wenxiu insisted on taking over the wonton shop even if it meant divorce, so Song Baogen had no choice but to compromise in the end.
Qiao Guilan was on her son's side and advised Song Caixing to let go.
Guo Rui, who was in prison, asked Song Caixing to go to Song Qiuxue and ask her to help hire a lawyer to sue Li Wenxiu and her husband.
Song Caixing was terrified when she heard the word "lawsuit".
She called Song Qiuxue, who replied dismissively, "You and my second brother are both my relatives. It would be wrong for me to side with either of them, Caixing. Please don't make things difficult for me."
Guo Rui was locked up in prison, and Song Caixing, a woman with a timid nature, couldn't think of any way to deal with Li Wenxiu.
Unbeknownst to her, after she called Song Qiuxue, Li Wenxiu also called Song Qiuxue, feeling guilty and asking, "Was what I did too much?"
"People die for money, birds die for food!" Song Qiuxue comforted Li Wenxiu, "Wenxiu, I only have a little over two months until my due date. Come to the provincial capital when you have time! Ask your second brother to come too, stay at my house for a while, and attend my son's one-month celebration. I'll then show you and your second brother around the provincial capital."
Li Wenxiu happily agreed.
"Qiuxue, I'm planning to send my eldest son to school in the provincial capital. He can stay at your house then. Is that okay?" Li Wenxiu asked.
Years ago, Song Qiuxue had taken the initiative to mention to her that when her child went to study in the provincial capital, he would stay at her house.
"I need to discuss this with my husband. I won't mistreat your child with my second brother."
To Li Wenxiu, these words meant that he had agreed.
-
Time flies.
More than two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Wenxiu's wonton shop was packed with customers every day, and she was making a fortune. When she learned that Song Qiuxue had given birth to a son in the provincial capital hospital, she immediately packed her bags and asked Song Baogen to take their two sons to the provincial capital to see Song Qiuxue.
Song Baogen didn't want to go, but Li Wenxiu kept making a fuss, so he had no choice but to agree.
Qiao Guilan specially killed several chickens and asked her son and daughter-in-law to take them with them.
She longed to go to the provincial capital, but the third daughter hadn't called her for years. She asked Li Wenxiu several times if the third daughter had mentioned her or asked her to come along.
Li Wenxiu said very frankly, "No!"
Song Baogen went to see Song Yinhua. Since his younger sister had given birth, they, as her older brother and sister, should contribute money as a gift.
Song Yinhua: "Her surname is Tang, and our surname is Song."
Song Baogen didn't say anything more.
When Li Wenxiu learned that Song Yinhua refused to contribute to the baby's birth, she muttered, "Your older sister is so stingy. She won't even contribute to the baby's birth, even though it's her own sister."
The young couple took their child to the town's train station. Passing by Song Yinhua's wonton shop, they noticed that even though it wasn't lunchtime yet, there were already quite a few customers queuing outside.
A police car pulled up outside the store and sealed off the wonton shop.
Song Baogen was worried and wanted to go forward to ask what was going on, but Li Wenxiu stopped him.
Bystanders discussed that someone had found a rat's head in their wontons, suspecting that the wonton filling was rat meat disguised as pork, and immediately called the police.
Yesterday, a customer ate wontons and got diarrhea; it already caused quite a stir.
