At this time, all the shops nearby saw how lively this new store was and were looking at it from a distance.

"Let's go."

Chen Xiaoying was determined to go all out. She would rather the breakfast shop go bankrupt than let her eldest daughter Li Hongyan take advantage of it.

Li Hongyan had no choice but to run away and wait two days before thinking of other solutions.

Chen Xiaoying returned to the store. Su Wanping's heart was pounding. "Why did you and Hongyan get into such a mess?"

My cousin is such a good person, and the eldest daughter Hongyan is also filial. Didn’t the mother and daughter have a good relationship in the past?

"It was her credit that I divorced Li Pingwang." Chen Xiaoying did not shy away from mentioning her cousin.

Su Wanping was shocked: "What?"

Chen Xiaoying suddenly remembered something: "Did you lend her 20,000 yuan?"

Su Wanping shook her head: "No."

Chen Xiaoying thought about it and remembered that it was not what happened at this time, but that it was about her eldest daughter Li Hongyan’s youngest son Pengle. When he was admitted to university, Li Hongyan came to her to borrow tuition fees.

When her adopted daughter Ma Hongxiu went to Li Hongyan to collect the debt, she said that she had borrowed the money in the name of her son being admitted to university but not having tuition fees.

"It's okay. Don't borrow money from me in the future. I've given her all the money I've earned in my life. It's become a habit for her to ask others for money."

Su Wanping didn't know what was going on with Li Hongyan, but she had been nice to her in the past because she was the daughter of her cousin Chen Xiaoying.

When an unfilial daughter provokes her own mother to beat her with a stick and drive her out, she will naturally side with her cousin.

"Aunt, you don't know, she instigated my parents to divorce because she borrowed high-interest loans and had no money to pay back, so she suggested that my father and mother divorce and divide my mother's marital property so that she could pay off her debts." Liu Lanxiang spoke quickly and said it right away.

Su Wanping was shocked and didn't know what to say.

"How could she do such a thing?"

"She borrowed a loan with high interest and tricked my dad into giving her fingerprints. The people who came to collect the debt some time ago scared my dad so much that he had to be hospitalized..." Liu Lanxiang wanted to say more.

I was afraid that I would be deceived by this rich cousin named Li Hongyan who was good at confusing right and wrong.

"Okay, don't say it, it's not embarrassing."

Li Hongwei was very concerned about her reputation and asked her to stop talking.

Only then did Liu Lanxiang shut up.

Their cousin Su Wanping was terrified that the man even dared to get involved in usury and even calculated her father's fingerprints. Her cousin's biological daughter was even more cruel than her adopted daughter.

"Let's not talk about her anymore, let's eat." said Chen Xiaoying.

After the group had their meal and packed up, Li Hongwei and Liu Lanxiang were about to return to the village.

Currently, this store only sells breakfast, and after it’s done with work, it closes at around 11 o’clock at the latest.

Su Wanping was going to sit in the old shop downstairs again: "I want to see how you do it and learn from you."

Chen Xiaoying naturally agreed.

As Liu Lanxiang and Li Hongwei were walking back, she couldn't help but say, "Hongwei, how about I stop farming at home and help out in the store? Is that okay?"

"Look at this shop, we have to pay salaries to the employees. It's better for me to do it myself. Our annual income is not enough to cover the annual salary we pay to the employees."

Li Hongwei always thinks that farming is the foundation of a rural person: "Why are you talking about this? My aunt is watching over the store. We'll talk about it when we open another store."

That's what was said.

But thinking about the money he had earned from running the store in the past two or three years, he was still tempted.

Farming is hard work. You sweat all year round and work yourself to death, but you don’t earn much money.

Running a restaurant is obviously easier than farming and you can earn more money.

Li Hongwei gave in, and Liu Lanxiang was extremely happy.

It’s still a good day today, with a clear sky.

Liu Lanxiang always feels motivated when riding her bicycle.

When she entered the village, she suddenly heard a loud noise. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Li Ergou cursing and being pulled by a group of people in the alley next to her.

"You ungrateful bastard! I raised you up and married you off, and you dare to say you don't want to? Who do you think you are?"

"Can you eat the food of my Li family for free? If I tell you to marry me, you have to marry me?"

Liu Lanxiang was puzzled: "What is this for?"

Li Hongwei also stopped his bike and looked over there: "Li Ergou is scolding his adopted daughter."

"Hey, why are you scolding them? The whole family is lazy. If they hadn't raised an adopted daughter to take care of them all these years, who could be the master or mistress at home when their family is so poor?" Liu Lanxiang also knew Li Xiaojuan.

This is what she said to her daughter Li Yutong when she was afraid of hard work and didn't want to work in the fields.

"Look at Xiaojuan, she goes to work in the fields before dawn. In the middle of the day, when others are sleeping at home, she is squatting in the fields pulling weeds."

"Look at how they feed the pigs and chickens, how they work in the fields, and how they cook for their families. If you compare yourself to them, you'll be dead lazy."

Li Xiaojuan is more like an ox than an ox.

"Look, what are you arguing about?" Liu Lanxiang was a person who loved to join in the fun.

At this time, a group of people gathered over there to stop them.

"Dad, please don't let me get married. I'll go out to work and earn money to help my eldest brother find a wife, okay?" Li Xiaojuan was beaten with a bruised face and nose. She knelt on the ground and cried for her father.

"How much money can you earn by working? A few years ago, the daughter of someone from Zhaojia Village ran away to work and followed a man from another place and married someone in a poor mountain village. I told you to go out to work, but if you ran away, who would I ask for your help?" Li Ergou cursed.

Li Ergou's wife was also a fierce woman. She grabbed Li Xiaojuan and slapped her twice: "I raised you to this age. Your life belongs to our family. If you dare not marry me, I will beat you to death."

The slapping sound was so loud that everyone who heard it felt pain on their face.

The beating was too harsh.

"Alright, alright, stop hitting her. If the child doesn't want to get married, then don't get married. She's only eighteen, why are you in such a hurry? Nowadays, girls get married in their twenties." Someone advised.

Some people laughed and watched the fun: "You think they are willing to give it up? Isn't it because his eldest brother is 23 years old this year, so it's time to talk about a wife?"

"What nonsense! It has nothing to do with this." Li Ergou knew that it was not nice to exchange his adopted daughter for money, and he would never admit it.

"Then why are you so anxious? Xiaojuan is so capable. You wish she could stay at home for a few more days so that she can serve you better."

"That's right. If it wasn't for finding a wife for his eldest son, why would they say Xiaojuan should get married? If it was family, who would work in the fields for them, who would cook and wash clothes for them? It would all be up to her to do it herself. Seeing how lazy she is, the whole family probably can't even have a hot meal."

"Yes, Li Ergou, your wife hasn't cooked for more than ten years. Can she still cook well?"

Everyone started laughing and came to their house.

Li Xiaojuan knelt on the ground, choking with sobs: "Mom and Dad, please let me serve you, okay?"

"I can cook, I don't need you. Just get married quietly." Her adoptive mother shouted hurriedly.

Li Xiaojuan shook her head. She had finally mustered up the courage to say that she didn't want to marry Tian Yongkang. If she missed this opportunity, she didn't know if she would have the courage or the opportunity again next time.

"Dad, Mom, please, please let me go to the county town to work, and I will give you all the wages I earn so that my eldest brother can get married, okay?"

"I will never marry in my life. I will not only earn money to help my eldest brother get married, but also to help my second and third brothers get married. Is that okay?"
