At the beginning, Liu Erniang wanted to take over Huixiang Restaurant, but Lu Qian firmly disagreed.
After that, Liu Erniang frequently attacked Huixiang Restaurant, hiring thugs to smash and cause trouble, and paying people to falsely accuse their dishes of being unclean and having bugs. On one occasion, she even deliberately designed a plan to make a customer poisoned and unconscious after eating the food, forcing the customer to pay a large sum of money as compensation.
In the end, Liu Erniang even won over the people who had previously sold ingredients to them, cut off their supply, and wanted to cut off Huixiang Restaurant's business at the source.
"...In the past, we had a fixed supplier for our food and vegetables. Now, we can only buy them from farmers, and the prices are high."
The price of ingredients was high, so they couldn't make much money, and their good reputation was ruined because of all the previous incidents.
It seemed that Huixiang Restaurant was about to go bankrupt.
"Liu Erniang is so outrageous and lawless, why don't you go to the county government and sue her?" Zhao Chuchu frowned. Liu Erniang's disgusting behavior immediately reminded her of the waiter. As expected, snakes and rats are of the same nest.
Lu Qian smiled bitterly, "Do you think we haven't filed a complaint? But Liu Erniang has connections in the county government office."
Lu Wei's eyes were red, and her throat was choked with sobs. "That day, Dad went to the county government office to file a complaint. He didn't even see the county magistrate before he was beaten out with sticks."
Now, the Zhao family’s dishes are the straw they have grasped that can bring Huixiang Restaurant back to life.
"We are willing to cooperate with you." Zhao Chuchu immediately agreed to supply vegetables to Huixiang Restaurant.
Because of what happened to the waiter in the morning, and now after hearing about Liu Erniang's disgusting behavior, Zhao Chuchu completely sentenced Fuman Restaurant to death.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and Huixiang Restaurant is a friend.
Lu Qian and Lu Wei both have good personalities, and after some negotiations, the price was fair, so Zhao Chuchu and Zhang Xiuyuan were willing to cooperate with them.
After signing the contract, both of them left Huixiang Restaurant.

Because of his happiness, Zhang Xiuyuan specially bought some pastries. Zhao Chuchu bought petals of several flowers and some materials for making pastries from the flower shop. She had a new idea to make money.
There were several people from Hui Village on the ox cart, Zhao Chuchu and Zhao Chuchu were two of them. On the way, the group was talking about family matters.
Zhao Chuchu and Zhang Xiuyuan, husband and wife, were also teased by them.
In the eyes of the people in Zhaojia Village, Zhao Chuchu was a person who lived a life of idleness and waited for death, relying on her adoptive mother for support. Now that her adoptive mother is dead, she has married a virtuous husband like Yuan Ge'er, and has settled down. She can grow vegetables and do business to support her family, and she can be said to have grown up.
The people of Zhaojia Village are simple and honest, and there are basically no bad people. The elders are also very caring towards the younger generations in the village.
They were naturally happy for Sister Chu because she could learn well.
"...The harvest is getting worse and worse. I'm worried that rice won't grow anymore. Without food, we might starve to death."
"There's not enough food for our family, so how can we sell any surplus? It's a pity that I have eight daughters, and none of them are married."
"We're fine. I heard someone starved to death in the next village."
"The food of Zhaojia Village" is a topic that people in Zhaojia Village always talk about.
The land in Zhaojia Village is not very suitable for growing rice. After working hard for a season, many families only grow enough food to fill their own stomachs, and there is no extra food to sell.
This situation has been going on for decades, and it is getting worse.
There are also people who don't grow crops, but grow vegetables or other things, but the money they get from the harvest is pitifully little.
"I don't know if there will ever be a day when we have to leave our homeland."
