As expected.

As soon as Liu Chunhua finished speaking, Jiang Zhize's face changed, but then he thought of something and forced himself to endure it.

"Give me some money, and I'll do something."

"What can you do?"

"Why do you care so much! Just give it to me!" Jiang Zhize roared. Only then did Liu Chunhua see clearly that there was a bruise on the left side of his cheek.

"What happened? Did someone hit you?"

"No." Jiang Zhize turned his head away, as stubborn as a donkey. "I was having dinner at Chuchu's house, and those girls laughed at my father and I for eating for free. I wanted to take some money to pay for the food! To save them from scolding me again!"

Liu Chunhua understood as soon as she heard it. She was afraid that someone thought that the father and son were an eyesore and was deliberately spreading such unpleasant words.

"I will never give you the money. If you want to stay in someone else's house, then go ahead." Liu Chunhua was determined and left with Jiang Ruyi in her arms.

"You! You!" Jiang Zhize didn't get the money, and he cursed behind her in anger, "You vicious woman!"

[Damn it! This brat is so arrogant, he even dares to scold you?] Jiang Ruyi couldn't stand it anymore and instigated Liu Chunhua to teach him a lesson.

But Liu Chunhua just looked back and said, "You think I'm a vicious woman, then who is the one who treats you well? Widow Zhang?"

"I..." Jiang Zhize stammered, wanting to say that he had said something wrong, but Liu Chunhua did not give him the chance and turned away.

[.....Are you okay?] Liu Chunhua didn't say anything along the way. Jiang Ruyi was a little worried about her and took the initiative to bring up the topic.

Liu Chunhua then forced a smile, "Mom is fine. Ruyi, I heard that you know a lot of things, so can you tell mom how to make your elder brother learn well and walk on the right path?"

[You really have stumped me.] Jiang Zhize is far worse than Jiang Zhishun. To put it bluntly, he has been abused by widow Zhang for too long, and many of his ideas have been deeply rooted. It will take time for him to change.

"It's okay, Mom will think of a way. After this business is done, Mom will think about it carefully." Liu Chunhua has made up her mind and is determined to change her eldest son no matter what. Jiang Ruyi can't bear to see it anymore and secretly decides to help her.

However, this transaction did end up with an accident.

"Sister Zhao, what do you mean?"

Widow Zhao's parents-in-law were also at her home.

Liu Chunhua looked at the two elders and couldn't believe what they said just now. "We have already agreed on the price in advance. I also ordered these dozens of kilograms of goods long ago. How can you raise the price at the last minute?"

"I'm so sorry, sister Chunhua. My parents-in-law heard from somewhere that I was doing business with you and insisted on getting involved. They forced me to ask you for an extra 20 cents."

Liu Chunhua looked unhappy. She was honest but not stupid. They were very careful in every transaction. If Widow Zhao hadn't told others about it, who would have known that she was the one who bought the tofu?

"Why did you say so much to her? Mao tofu is worthless, but your work shouldn't be in vain. You want to charge her 80 cents per pound? Isn't this bullying you, an orphan and a widow?"

Liu Chunhua was so angry that she couldn't speak. Who bullied them, an orphan and a widow? If Widow Zhao hadn't forced the hairy tofu on her, she wouldn't have done this business.

[Okay, this family has already discussed this, just to force you to give them the extra two cents. We have to deliver the goods to Old Li today, so we can only take the goods down first.]

When Liu Chunhua heard Jiang Ruyi's reminder, she let out a long breath and looked straight at Widow Zhao, "Sister Zhao, I just want to ask you one question, is it really necessary to do this?"

Widow Zhao felt a little guilty when she saw her eyes. In fact, she didn't want to be like this, but when she saw Liu Chunhua being so generous last time, she knew at a glance that she had made a lot of money. She just wanted to ask for more.

"Don't be angry, sister. I know it's inappropriate for us to do this, but you see my mother-in-law is just sitting there and won't leave. I can't do anything about it."

"I understand. You don't have to say anything more." Liu Chunhua felt very uncomfortable. The price of the peach cakes she bought last time had actually increased by 20 cents, and she didn't say it. She originally wanted to raise the price for Widow Zhao as well.

But before he could say anything, Widow Zhao teamed up with her family to do this.

"Sister Zhao, please settle the bill. I'll take this batch of goods as you said, but you still have to prepare the ox cart."

"Of course, of course!" Widow Zhao agreed hurriedly, and her mother-in-law also showed a triumphant smile, as if to say that no matter how much Liu Chunhua asked for, she had to agree!

Soon everything was loaded onto the truck, and Zhao Tiezhu was the one driving it again. Widow Zhao personally escorted them out, and warmly instructed them, "Tiezhu, be steady on the road, and don't get Chunhua and her baby hurt."

"Haha." Liu Chunhua laughed, and Jiang Ruyi also laughed, "Haha."

The mother and daughter's laughter seemed to be mocking Widow Zhao's pretense.

The smile on her face froze for a moment. Looking at the disappearing oxcart, Widow Zhao felt uneasy. "Mom and Dad, do you think Liu Chunhua is angry with me? What if she doesn't want my goods in the future?"

"That's impossible!" Widow Zhao's mother-in-law said confidently, "She bought 50 kilograms last time and came again this time. It's obvious that your tofu is in short supply. It's a pity that we don't know who she sold it to, otherwise we could do it ourselves!"

"This..." Widow Zhao's eyes flickered. She had not thought of this.

On the oxcart, Jiang Ruyi was also talking to Liu Chunhua about this matter, "Actually, we shouldn't let Zhao Tiezhu continue to send us off this time."

"You mean..." After spending some time with him, Liu Chunhua was no longer as naive as she was at the beginning, and she quickly figured out the key point. "No way, Tiezhu looks quite honest."

Jiang Ruyi was speechless. [Jiang Chao looks dishonest? And the widow Zhao looks dishonest? Aren’t they both the same, saying one thing in front of others and another behind their backs?]

Liu Chunhua was silent for a while before she said, "What should we do? Why don't we ask him to park farther away?"

[No need.] Jiang Ruyi took two sips of water and stared at the clouds above her head in a daze.

Soon they arrived at the door of Old Li's shop. Liu Chunhua took a closer look and found that Zhao Tiezhu was driving the ox cart and secretly watching her in the corner.

Seeing this scene, she couldn't describe how she felt.

"Whatever. We made money from them anyway, so we can just give it back to them."

[If you want to return it, you have to see if the other party can accept it.] Jiang Ruyi smiled meaningfully.

As far as she knew, Widow Zhao came to her the next day after she learned about their trading partner. Old Li was originally dissatisfied with her behavior, but he could not resist the delicious taste of the hairy tofu and reluctantly agreed to continue cooperating with her. However, Widow Zhao's father-in-law deliberately replaced the main raw material of hairy tofu, soybeans, with inferior ones in order to gain some benefits, and the pickled peppers were not as good as before. After tasting them, Old Li's customers scolded him for cutting corners.

After a while, Old Li simply stopped having any contact with Mao Tofu.
