Chapter 66 Provocation
After Shen Qing finished speaking, Liu Yan'er was slightly stunned when she heard it, as if she thought of something, with helplessness and confusion in her eyes. Then she shook her head and forced a bitter smile.
She lowered her head, her fingers tightly grasping Captain Sun's sleeve, and said unwillingly, "If I can't bring Jiang Yu back, my mother will suffer in the Liu family."
Captain Sun looked at Jiang Yu, who was willing to perish together with his enemies, and then looked at the Jiang family who did not retreat at all, as well as the villagers lying on the courtyard wall. He gritted his teeth and advised: "We made a mistake today. They are so many in number and powerful. It is impossible to take them away by force.
No problem, wait until I gather the constables and come back. Relax, there is nothing I, Sun Gui, can't do!"
They are just a few powerless villagers. Taking away a divorced woman is as easy as catching an ant. Leaving them alone won't cause any trouble.
Liu Yaner smiled charmingly and praised, "Sun Lang is really a man. It just needs to be done quickly. There's a lot of work waiting to be done at home, such as washing clothes and cooking..."
Sun Gui's eyes were full of pride. He was thinking that he would take a rest for the next two days and gather people together as soon as he was on duty.
The Jiang family just have to wait and don’t expect life to be easy.

Captain Sun took Liu Yan'er away. Second Master Jiang extended his hands and clasped his fists in thanks, saying, "Thank you all for speaking out for justice today."
Jiang Yu bowed and expressed his gratitude to everyone.
The villagers who were watching felt embarrassed and said one after another: "Hey, why are we so polite when we are from the same village?"
"Jiang Yu grew up under our care. It doesn't cost any money or effort to help him. It's not a big deal to thank him."
In the harmonious atmosphere, Wang Fugui sneaked away covered in dust.
He originally wanted to stay and watch the fun, to see the Jiang family get humiliated after offending the Liu family. However, instead of seeing the fun, he felt like he was helping outsiders laugh at his own villagers.
At this moment, he became an irrelevant person in the scene of thanking others... Forget it, it doesn't matter if it's irrelevant. His family doesn't have anything that requires help from the villagers. There are not a small number of people in his family, and he can't rely on them in the future. It won't hurt him if the relationship is not good.
Who says you have to have a good relationship with your neighbors? He has lived a good life even though he didn't have a good relationship with them for decades. What's the big deal?
Besides, Jiang Yu offended the Liu family, which meant he offended Captain Sun, and offending Captain Sun meant offending the officials... The villagers are really ignorant and short-sighted, and they dare to speak for them. Their good days are over!
Maybe Captain Sun will come again in a couple of days, and they will have a hard time then...
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was a smart person. Wang Fugui hummed a little tune and walked away.
After the crowd dispersed, Shen Qing asked Zhou Yan and Liu Xiulan to send Jiang Yu home first, and also let them comfort him.
Zhou Yan and Liu Xiulan took on the task, supporting Jiang Yu on both sides, and sincerely advised: "Sister, please don't do anything stupid."
"The days in the Liu family are over. Let's live a good life from now on."
Jiang Yu smiled brightly: "Don't worry, my two sisters-in-law, my eldest sister-in-law treats me very well, my family treats me very well too, and I won't think too much of you."
She could die, but she would no longer die secretly as she had done before.
She wasn't even afraid of death, so why would she let go of the people who forced her to death? The Liu family and Constable Sun treated her badly, and even if she died, she would drag them down with her to prevent them from causing trouble for the Jiang family again.
She had thought about it carefully in the past few days. She was now a member of the Jiang family. If she went head-to-head with the Liu family and Captain Sun, not only would she not be able to defeat them, but even if she attacked them with a knife, the government would investigate and her sister-in-law, nephews, and nieces would all be implicated, and the entire Jiang family would be implicated for no reason.
Only by saying that just now can I frighten Captain Sun and make him a little afraid, but I don't know how long this little fear will last...
Zhao Mingyue was worried: "Do you think Xiaoyu will do something stupid?"
I was already feeling bad, and after coming back I finally had a few days of peace, but then this happened. Not all the people in the village are good. It seems that the person who secretly went to pass the message to Xiaoyu just wanted to make fun of me.
It’s never too much to watch other people’s fun.
She muttered worriedly, "A woman's reputation is so important. A drop of spit can drown someone. What should I do?"
"Don't worry, Third Aunt. Reputation can only confine a woman who cares about it. Once she doesn't care about it anymore, it won't matter. What Xiaoyu cares about now is not reputation, but family.
As long as we can't make Captain Sun show off his power, Xiaoyu won't do anything stupid," Shen Qing analyzed.
Zhao Mingyue thought about Jiang Yu's spirit and energy in recent days. It was indeed different from the gray hair she saw at the Liu family. The whole person seemed to be alive again.
But, "How come Captain Sun can't come here to cause trouble?"
Shen Qing leaned close to Zhao Mingyue's ear and told her in detail in a low voice.
Zhao Mingyue's frown relaxed as she listened, and she slapped her thigh, "Why didn't I think of that? Qing'er, wait for news from Third Aunt, and make sure everything is done well tomorrow morning!"
Zhao Mingyue and her family went back to prepare, while Shen Qing took the time to give small lessons to the families of the Second and Fifth Masters Jiang.
“Tofu is an affordable, everyday food that most people in the city can afford, and people in the village are willing to change the flavor of their own soybeans, but maltose is different;
At over 70 wen per jin, most people are reluctant to buy it. Those who are willing to buy it will not buy it in the streets or alleys for fear of being cheated.
If we were to exchange wheat and glutinous rice, not to mention the food shortage this month, even if the wheat harvest comes next month, there would be only a handful of people willing to exchange them for maltose."
Jiang Ying and Jiang Dalang nodded continuously, and Jiang Erye and Jiang Wuye also nodded imperceptibly.
“So the way to sell tofu is not suitable for maltose. We still have to cooperate with candy shops, pastry shops and even cosmetics shops, that is, supply them with goods and let them sell them.
The profit will inevitably be lower, but this also has the advantage of freeing up manpower to focus on production. "After Shen Qing finished speaking, he asked, "What do you think?"
It's hard to see at night, so the cooking can only be done during the day. One pot takes at least three to five hours, which means once in the morning and once in the afternoon at most. The men do the preparation work, the women cook the food, and then two people are sent to deliver the food.
It's like a small sugar factory, which saves time and effort and you only need to focus on the sugar-making process.
Jiang Dalang agreed in surprise: "I think it's great!"
He was originally worried about where to sell his products. What if such expensive items couldn't be sold? Even if they could be sold, how much could he make in a day?
Jiang Ying conservatively estimated: "We have two families, three large iron pots, and we can make small batches and multiple times. As the malt ferments more, it will catch up. We can easily make dozens of kilograms a day."
Shen Qing: Not only that, the book says that we can make hundreds of kilograms a day by pure boiling, so there is a lot of room for improvement. It is precisely because of the large quantity that we have to go the wholesale route.
Retail is too slow.
They needed money, and the sooner the better.
Early the next morning, Zhao Mingyue specially brought Jiang Daxi and Hong Hehua with him, pulling the tofu cart and heading straight for Shengping Lane.
