"You, you..."
Zhao Ergou, his face flushed from Liu's scolding, stubbornly tried to save face: "I, I didn't go into business, it's just that I don't care to!"
Aunt Zhao and Li Lanhua also quickly tried to save face for their beloved son/husband.
"That's right! My Er Gou doesn't go into business, he just doesn't care to! If he were to go into business, he would definitely do better than Wan Shu!"
"Exactly! No matter what, my man will never be like Wan Shu, unable to sell a single thing!"
Liu retorted, "My little sister hasn't even come back yet, how do you know she can't sell them? What if she sold them all?"
Aunt Zhao firmly believed that no one would buy pork offal for 40 coins per catty.
She scoffed, "If Wan Shu can't be sold, I'll eat shit in front of the whole village!"
"Mother, Mother! Your little aunt is back!"
Almost as soon as Aunt Zhao finished speaking, Baoyu and Baoyin came running over with their short legs.
"My aunt has sold out all the pig offal and bloodworms in her wooden bucket! She's made a fortune!"
Upon hearing this, all the villagers' eyes widened in surprise.
Even Liu was dumbfounded.
"What?! She actually made money?!"
The reason Liu argued with Zhao Da Niang's family was because Zhao Er Gou was deliberately belittling women.
Although she verbally sided with Wan Shu, deep down she also felt that Wan Shu couldn't possibly sell the pig offal at such a high price.
When she heard Baoyu and Baoyin say that Wanshu had made a lot of money, her first reaction was that the two kids had made a mistake.
"You two children, you believe everything you hear, don't you dare talk nonsense here!"
Otherwise, if they get caught, it will be the Wan family who lose face!
"We're not talking nonsense!"
Baoyu and Baoyin shook their heads firmly: "Auntie really made a lot of money! She bought a lot of chicks and ducklings, and also bought new shoes and new clothes for Brother Wuping and the others!"
The story sounded so convincing that Liu's eyes darted around, and she figured it might be true. She quickly grabbed Baoyu and Baoyin and ran towards Wanshu's house.
If Wan Shu really makes a lot of money, as a relative, she might be able to take the opportunity to get some benefits from Wan Shu!
The remaining villagers exchanged glances, then put down their work and ran towards Wan Shu's house.
Although they are not related to Wan Shu and are unlikely to gain any benefit from it, watching the show can't hurt!
In no time, Wan Shu's house was almost packed with people.
"My goodness! You've really made a fortune, my dear wife! You didn't even bother with the fabric, you just bought ready-made clothes!"
"The fabric of these clothes feels so nice! These clothes must have cost at least two or three thousand yuan!"
"My wealthy wife, you're truly wealthy now!"
Wan Shu had anticipated this scene when she was shopping in the county town.
She didn't try to hide anything. She put down her basket and, while leading her five chicks and ducklings to the livestock shed, answered frankly.
"What do you mean by 'wealth'? Today is the first day of business, and business is bad. I had to sell them at half price, almost giving them away. In the end, the money I made wasn't even enough to buy these clothes. The only reason I was able to grit my teeth and buy them was because the wild boar I sold yesterday was hunted by my kids. I had to give them some reward, no matter what."
She practically said outright that she hadn't made any money in business today, and the money to buy the clothes came from selling wild boar yesterday.
But the villagers huddled in the courtyard didn't believe it.
Although selling wild boars can make a lot of money, if the business really wasn't profitable, would she have bought so many clothes, shoes, and animals all at once?
Everyone knows that the business of pig offal and bloodworms is definitely profitable!
Pig offal is cheap, and bloodworms are even cheaper, they can be caught for free in ditches.
Since Wan Shu can make money from these two things, if they knew how to make pig offal and bloodworms, wouldn't they be able to too...?
For a moment, many villagers were itching to make a move.
However, since this is a despicable act of stealing someone's job, many people are too embarrassed to speak up.
In the end, it was Aunt Zhao's family who were the most shameless.
They changed their previous sour faces in front of Wan Shu and stepped forward with smiles.
"My dear wife, you're so capable! You can even cook pig offal so well!"
"My family can't afford meat, so we usually just buy offal to eat, but we never really cook it well. Why don't you teach us how to cook your offal?"
"Don't worry! You've taught us, so we promise we'll only cook for ourselves and will never try to steal your business!"
Wan Shu was almost laughing at the sight of Aunt Zhao and her family.
This overreaction suggests they're afraid she won't know they want to learn their methods and steal her business.
Even if Wan Shu told them how to make the spices, they wouldn't be able to make them without the spices from the store.
Moreover, Wan Shu is not some saintly fool; she wouldn't reveal her money-making methods before she has even made any herself.
She gave a mocking smile and was about to speak.
Before she could even utter a sound, Liu's voice rang out.
"Pah! Aunt Zhao, you're shameless!"
Liu, holding Baoyu and Baoyin in her arms, strode out of the crowd with great pride and glared angrily at the Zhao family.
Wan Shu raised an eyebrow as she looked at Liu's shrewish appearance.
Since transmigrating, Wan Shu has only met Liu twice, when they were digging potatoes.
The two did not have much contact, but based on the original owner's memories, Wan Shu knew that Liu was a difficult person, and quite petty, and did not like the original owner's sister-in-law very much.
Wan's parents and Wan Feng would always secretly help the original owner of the body. Liu felt that the original owner had taken away the resources that should have belonged to her three daughters, and therefore resented the original owner.
Liu's rush out now is unlikely to be to protect her.
Wan Shu guessed that Liu probably also coveted the braising sauce recipe, so he couldn't stand that the Zhao family would get it before he could even get his hands on it.
To be honest, Wan Shu didn't like her second sister-in-law, who was too petty. However, if Liu could make Zhao Da Niang's family suffer a setback, that would be good.
Thinking this, Wan Shu stopped talking and quietly watched Liu's performance from the side.
"You learned how to cook it, but you only cooked it for yourselves at home?"
Liu snorted coldly: "Aunt Zhao, do you even believe what you're saying?"
A hint of guilt flashed in Aunt Zhao's eyes, but she said with unwavering determination, "Why wouldn't you believe me? I always keep my word, and everyone in the village knows that!"
"Oh? Really? Then I remember you just said that if my little sister's things are all sold, you have to eat shit in front of the whole village."
Liu pointed to the fresh droppings that the chicks and ducks had just produced: "Since you say you mean what you say, then go and eat that poop now!"
