Yang Xiaohui thought Zhao Xueyan was a fool who was deceived by her mother-in-law, but the fourth child Li Honggang didn't think so: "Don't talk nonsense, my mother is already very good to have achieved what she has today. Look at the village, only a few people can buy a house for their son in the county town."

"And every family buys one. My mom has bought several."

Yang Xiaohui knew this truth, but it didn't apply to her and she couldn't understand the hard work and difficulties her mother-in-law Chen Xiaoying was facing.

"Alright, alright, why are you saying all this? If you want to sell buns, then go ahead and I won't go."

In short, she only wants to spend money and not work.

The fourth son, Li Honggang, couldn't force his wife. Yang Xiaohui didn't listen to her at all. If he dared to make a move, she would threaten to die and run back to her parents' home, demanding a divorce from him and finding a better woman to remarry.

Li Honggang has a weak character to begin with, so he can only let her do as she pleases.

It's not easy for him to marry a wife, so he won't run away.

Li Hong had just rested in the village for two days. He felt very uncomfortable when he suddenly had free time. He finished his work in the fields and met his eldest brother on the way back to the village.

He felt a little guilty, as he knew that the secret recipe of the steamed buns seemed to be given by his eldest niece Li Yutong. Her mother said she would give him half of it, so she must be secretly giving it to him.

Li Hongwei originally just wanted to benefit his brothers, he didn't know yet that their mother Chen Xiaoying wanted Li Honggang to help set up a stall to sell steamed buns.

"Are you back? Are you still planning to go?" Li Hongwei asked.

Li Honggang shook his head: "The work is too hard. Last month, when I was working, a piece of wood rolled down from above my head and almost hit me. I was so scared that I simply didn't want to do it anymore."

Li Hongwei knew that the work in the timber factory was hard, but he didn't know it was so dangerous, so he said, "It's okay if we don't go. We are rural people. If we take good care of a few acres of land, we won't starve to death."

Li Honggang nodded vaguely and went home.

Liu Lanxiang, who was standing by, felt strange: "What's wrong with Old Four? Why doesn't he dare to look at us?"

Li Hongwei is not as careful as Liu Lanxiang: "He always looks scared. You think too much."

The couple didn't care.

Li Hong had just finished her work in the fields. After thinking for a while, she decided to pack some clothes and go to the county town.

The job that Chen Xiaoying thought of for the fourth child was only temporary. When the food factory officially started operations, there would be many positions needed, and there would definitely be one that suited him.

"Have you eaten? If not, go to the hot pot restaurant over there." Chen Xiaoying asked the fourth brother Li Honggang.

Li Hong just found out that his eldest niece opened a hot pot restaurant, but he was embarrassed because he had never been there, so he shook his head and laughed dryly.

"I'll take you there."

Chen Xiaoying said this and led Li Honggang there.

Li Yutong was not there, so He Mingliang was helping to look after the restaurant. The hotel had security personnel to help look after the restaurant, and no one was watching over He Mingliang, who was young and wanted to cause trouble or dine for free. Besides, this small hotpot restaurant did not sell alcohol.

What Li Yutong was worried about was someone causing trouble while drunk.

"Grandma Chen, you're here. Do you want to have a meal or sit down for a while?" He Mingliang came up to her with a smile.

"I'm eating." Chen Xiaoying said, and then asked the fourth child, Li Honggang: "Do you like spicy food?"

"Eat less." Li Honggang said.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to prepare it. Uncle, there are plates for what you want to eat, just take it yourself." He Mingliang said, and asked someone to prepare it.

When they started eating, Li Honggang couldn't help looking at the surroundings, thinking that it was really amazing that his eldest niece could open such a hot pot restaurant at the age of 18.

"Xiao Yu's hot pot restaurant makes a lot of money every year. You see, now is the time for economic development. There are not enough things in the county, so there are many opportunities to make money, especially these food businesses. The investment is not large, but the profit is not small." Chen Xiaoying said to the fourth brother Li Honggang with good intentions: "You have the courage to do it, and you will definitely earn as much as you did in the timber factory."

After she had sorted out the affairs of the fourth son, Li Honggang, she set off to the sawmill on her own to bring back the third son, Li Hongqiang.

If we leave him there, there's no telling what kind of trouble he might get into.

The fourth child, Li Hong, couldn't believe that she was in her twenties and was still being educated by her own mother. She felt a little uncomfortable and nodded quickly.

Chen Xiaoying had an idea in her mind, so she took Li Honggang to a place where carpentry work was done and inquired about the price of making a cart. She also inquired about the second-hand market to see where there were ready-made carts for sale.

The mother and son ran over and saw that there were indeed several of them.

They are all similar, with a stove underneath and steamers stacked on top for steaming buns. The difference is that some are three-wheeled bicycle-type, while others are carts pushed by manpower.

"Get a bicycle so you can save some effort." Chen Xiaoying was reluctant to let her son suffer, so she didn't save money on this.

At that moment, she bought the tricycle and rode all the way to the entrance of Chen Li Restaurant. When Li Hong was just washing the tricycle, Zhao Xueyan, the third sister-in-law, took a peek for a long time and couldn't help asking her mother-in-law Chen Xiaoying: "Mom, why didn't you let the third child come back?"

She felt that if something good happened, the third child should be the one to get it.

Chen Xiaoying could see what she was thinking: "If the third child was as obedient as the fourth child, the one outside now would be the third child."

Zhao Xueyan felt uncomfortable after hearing the lukewarm words. She knew that the third son, Li Hongqiang, was disobedient, so what she said was just nonsense. She always hoped that her mother-in-law could control the third son so that she could live a stable life with him.

"Don't worry, when the third brother comes back, I will also benefit from him."

Chen Xiaoying said this because she couldn't bear to make her third daughter-in-law, who had worked with her for several years, feel uncomfortable.

Zhao Xueyan felt relieved.

Thinking of letting the fourth brother set up a stall to sell buns, Chen Xiaoying got up early the next day and led the people in the store to make buns non-stop. She also cooked a large bucket of vegetables.

Then, she told Zhao Xueyan and Hao Cailing to take good care of the store, and she took Li Honggang and rode a tricycle to the road section that they had already chosen.

This is also a relatively busy intersection, but there are more restaurants than small eateries here. The only breakfast shop is about a mile away. People have set up stalls selling food here since a while ago.

Some sold fried dough sticks and tofu pudding, some sold sesame cakes and side dishes. When Chen Xiaoying and her son arrived, they saw the sign saying they were selling steamed buns. The two food stalls felt uncomfortable about someone stealing their business, but since they were a bit far away from them, they didn't say anything.

Chen Xiaoying is a living signboard. The buns in her family are delicious. She has basically made a name for herself and people recognize her.

"Hey, why are you selling buns here, are you not going to close the store anymore?"

Chen Xiaoying couldn't recognize who it was, but she must have known who she was, so she smiled and said, "Business is average, and the burden on the family is heavy, so let's think of other ways. Have you had breakfast? I brought a big pot of food."

Big pot dishes are also delicious meals. Usually, we only eat them at banquets, or run ten minutes to Chen Li Restaurant to eat them. Now we can eat them at our doorstep, and people are very happy.

"Eat, of course you should eat, the food in your house is delicious."

As he spoke, he bought five or six buns, filled a big pot of vegetables and left.
