Li Qiumei and Qin Ruyue bought all the equipment for setting up a stall in just two days.
On the third day, at around five o'clock, the two of them carried tables and benches and set up their stall.
Li Qiumei wrote the four big characters "Qin Ji Braised Noodles" on a wooden board with a brush.
He also wrote on a piece of cardboard: "Buy one bowl, get one free on the opening day."
On a cool morning, people riding bicycles to and from work were attracted by Li Qiumei's shouting.
"Girl, is it really buy one bowl, get one free?"
"It must be true." Li Qiumei replied.
The two women discussed it and said, "Let's buy it together and each pay half."
When the people who were watching saw that they could buy together, they also formed their own groups.
Ten kilograms of flour were sold out by noon.
Qin Ruyue calculated and found that she had just recovered the cost of raw materials.
"Qiumei, I didn't lose money today."
"You didn't count your salary, so you definitely didn't lose money."
Ruyue, let's go later tomorrow. There won't be anyone there if it's too early."
Qin Ruyue nodded.
The next day, when the two men arrived at the stall, two girls were already waiting there.
Seeing that there was no buy-one-get-one-free cardboard, the round-faced girl asked, "Auntie, I heard you have a buy-one-get-one-free deal here, is that right?
Li Qiumei smiled and said, "Yesterday's opening was buy one get one free.
"You two come to open our shop today, and we'll give you three taels of noodles for the two taels bowl, and add some more meat, okay?"
"Okay." The girl agreed happily.
It was time to go to work, and Qin Ruyue urged Li Qiumei: "Hurry up and leave, or you'll be late."
Li Qiumei trotted away.
During lunch, Li Qiumei came to the noodle stall and saw Qin Ruyue's father-in-law and Hu Baoer there.
When they met again, Qin Ruyue's father-in-law was full of resentment towards Li Qiumei.
He said to Li Qiumei bluntly: "I heard that you are divorced.
You two are friends, you can't force Ruyue to get a divorce just to be with you when you can't live your own life."
These words were too harsh, and Li Qiumei would not tolerate him.
"It's strange that your son is in jail.
Any sensible family would treat Qin Ruyue and her daughter as ancestors and keep this family for your son.
But you two are so good that you invited a woman who is pregnant with a bastard into your home and even wanted Qin Ruyue to serve her.
Does your family have an heir to the throne?"
"You!" the old man was furious.
"Huh, I finally understand. No wonder your man doesn't want you.
With your character, who can get along with you? You... "
Qin Ruyue interrupted him: "Dad, I won't allow you to slander my friend like this.
Since you believe Yang Baicai's words so much, I'll leave and let her be your daughter-in-law."
The old man sighed: "Ruyue, your mother and I know that you are not feeling well.
But what do you think we old couple should do?
Regardless of Yang Baicai, if the baby in her belly is really Fenglin's, Fenglin will definitely hold a grudge against us when he comes back.
Your mother and I are in a dilemma."
Li Qiumei gave him a look of disdain: "I see you two are crazy about having grandchildren.
I dare to take any bastard home."
The old man glared at her and said, "You're getting more and more excited the more you talk."
He took Hu Baoer's hand and said, "Ruyue, for Baoer's sake, come home with me.
Don't worry, I will drive Yang Baicai away after she gives birth to the baby.
Our whole family is waiting for Fenglin to come back.
If Fenglin dares to hit you again after he comes back, your mother and I will never let him off easily."
Qin Ruyue was angry: "Dad, what you said is that you want to take care of Yang Baicai.
Then I won’t go back!
You and my mom just need to take good care of Yang Baicai, and I will take care of Baoer myself."
The old man grabbed Hu Baoer and said, "That won't work! Baoer is my Hu family's child and can only be raised in the Hu family.
If you don't go back, don't even think about seeing Baoer again."
The two people started arguing.
Li Qiumei had no choice but to be busy greeting the guests.
Suddenly, the old man rushed over like a madman, overturned the pot of noodles, and smashed all the bowls on the chopping board to the ground with a rolling pin.
"Ah!" Li Qiumei screamed as her feet were scalded by the boiling noodle soup.
Qin Ruyue ran over to support her: "Qiumei, where did you get burned?"
The old man was still smashing things crazily, and Hu Baoer was so scared that she burst into tears.
Qin Ruyue supported Li Qiumei and anxiously reached out to Hu Baoer: "Baoer, come to your mother quickly."
The old man suddenly turned around, threw down the rolling pin in his hand, strode forward, picked up Hu Baoer and ran away.
A figure rushed over and grabbed the old man.
Cheng Zhiqian is here.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
Cheng Zhiming stepped forward to support Li Qiumei, and Qin Ruyue rushed over to snatch the child from the old man's arms.
Cheng Zhiqian twisted the old man's arm and handed him over to the police who arrived.
Then he came to Li Qiumei and squatted down: "Come up, I'll carry you to the hospital."
Li Qiumei broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, and quickly and obediently lay on his back, letting the two brothers take him to the hospital.
Qin Ruyue hugged Hu Baoer and told the police what had happened.
Her father-in-law threatened her: "Qin Ruyue, quickly ask the police to let me go.
Otherwise, I will ask Fenglin to divorce you."
Qin Ruyue spat, "Bah, you think I care about your son.
Even if he doesn't divorce me, I will divorce him."
Qin Ruyue's father-in-law was taken away by the police cursing.
Qin Ruyue packed up simply and went to the hospital with Hu Baoer in her arms.
In the hospital, Cheng Zhiqian had already completed the hospitalization procedures for Li Qiumei.
Looking at her left foot wrapped like a rice dumpling, Li Qiumei lost her composure.
In the previous life, this foot was lame.
Does this mean that sooner or later in this life, there will be problems with this foot?
"Auntie, does your foot still hurt?"
Li Qiumei came back to her senses and met Cheng Zhiming's worried eyes. She touched his head.
"It hurts, Cheng Zhiming, why are you guys there?"
"Auntie, have you forgotten?
I came to pick up my new custom-made clothes today.
The uncle in your store said you were eating noodles here, so my brother and I came over."
Cheng Zhiqian came over with a tube of ointment.
"You have some burns on your calves too. Let me help you clean them."
Li Qiumei shook her hand: "No, no, I can do it myself."
Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhiqian was not asking her, but informing her.
He rolled up Li Qiumei's trouser legs and applied the ointment on her with a cotton swab.
Hearing that Li Qiumei had not eaten yet, Cheng Zhiqian went out to buy food and asked Cheng Zhiming to look after her.
Qin Ruyue ran in: "Qiumei, how are you injured?"
Seeing that her feet were wrapped like dumplings, Qin Ruyue burst into tears.
"Qiumei, it's all my fault that I got you into trouble.
I shouldn't have come to you, and I wouldn't have brought you such great trouble."
As soon as Qin Ruyue started crying, Hu Baoer also started crying.
