Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 11 features a renowned physician from one of the eight villages!

Chapter 11 The Famous Doctor in the Whole Country!
While the Chen family was scratching their heads in frustration, Li Ruru had already boarded an oxcart carrying two large buckets of konjac tofu to go to the market.

With all three maids by his side, the four of them plus two large buckets of goods cost 10 coins just for the oxcart ride.

It cost two coins per person, and an extra fee was charged for two large buckets.

Seeing that she had already spent 10 coins before even opening for business, Daya felt a little uneasy. "Mother, can we really make money selling this konjac tofu?"

As the eldest child in the family, Daya has endless worries.

Li Ruru shrugged. "You'll find out soon enough."

Seeing that Daya was still tense, she comforted her, "It's okay if we can't sell them. We can eat them ourselves, or give away the leftovers."

It's hot, so this stuff won't last long.

She hung the item in the well last night, and when she took it out today, it was ice-cold and perfectly intact.

In those days, there were no refrigerators, so farming families preserved food by storing it in wooden barrels and hanging them in the well.

For wells that are more than ten meters deep, the well rope on the windlass is lowered into the well and secured with the well cover.

Leave part of the well rope above the water so it won't touch the water.

The well is warm in winter and cool in summer, making it ideal for preserving food during this season.

Li Ruru arrived at the market not late, but others had arrived earlier, and all the lively and crowded spots in the market had already been taken.

She led the three little ones to an inconspicuous spot, took out a few pieces of konjac tofu, neatly cut them into small pieces, poured on some sauce, and placed them on a broken table.

This table was borrowed from someone else and cost 5 coins.

Da Ya watched as her mother spent another 5 coins, feeling anxious but unsure what to do.

She wanted to shout out her wares like the auntie next door who sold pancakes, but no matter how many times she tried, the words she had prepared just wouldn't come out.

Farmers who spend their entire lives toiling in the fields never teach their children how to do business, because they themselves don't know how.

What they taught most was to make the children honest and hardworking.

From a young age, Daya was taught to be obedient, to do more work, and to give way to her younger cousins.

Li Ruru noticed Daya's embarrassment and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Mom will call on you. You can help wash the dishes in a bit."

Daya nodded with a sigh of relief.

Li Ruru has a good attitude. No one is born knowing how to do business; take it slow.

She cleared her throat and shouted loudly.

"Family members, come and take a look! It's konjac tofu, delicious konjac tofu."

Not 10 coins, not 5 coins, only 3 coins! Delicious and inexpensive, don't miss it!

After shouting it out once, she grinned at the three girls. Li Ruru had never set up a stall before, she had only watched live streams.

That's how livestreamers sell products. If they can sell them, why can't she?

Sure enough, several men were attracted to it.

However, what attracted them was not the konjac tofu, but Li Ruru's hawking cries.

That phrase, "family members," might sound familiar in a live stream, but here, honest people will immediately think it's their own relatives calling them.

A tall man asked in confusion, "Ma'am, do we know each other? Are we family?"

Seeing that she had made a big fool of herself, Li Ruru quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Big brother, I just called out casually, I'm sorry you misunderstood."

After a pause, she added, "I'll sell you a bowl of my konjac tofu for only 2 coins."

"Konjac tofu? Is that devil's tongue?" someone nearby exclaimed in surprise.

The tall man's face darkened immediately when he heard Li Ruru tell him to eat devil's taro. "Are you kidding me?"

Several men nearby rolled up their sleeves, pretending to beat someone up.

“You heartless woman, you’re selling us poisonous food! We’re going to the authorities to settle this matter.”

"That's right, it's too much! They actually fed people devil's tongue, and called it konjac tofu." "Who doesn't know that devil's tongue is poisonous? Eating it will make your whole body itchy and your throat sore."

"Arrest her, arrest her."

As more and more people gathered around, some even aggressively trying to overturn her stall, Li Ruru watched as the crowd grew larger and larger.

She shouted and stood on a small stool, "Listen up, everyone! My konjac tofu is not poisonous. I used a secret recipe to neutralize the poison."

My three kids and I all ate it yesterday, and it was delicious.

The tall man scoffed, "Secret recipe? What secret recipe? What secret recipe could turn poisonous taro into non-poisonous taro?"

The secret recipe is wood ash water.

Li Ruru didn't know how to explain the chemical reaction, and just as she was worrying about it, she suddenly saw an acquaintance.

"Chen Liang, Chen Liang, Doctor Chen!"

Li Ruru jumped off the stool and pulled Chen Liang to her stall.

"Dr. Chen, you are a famous doctor in the surrounding villages of Pingchuan County. Tell me, is my konjac tofu poisonous?"

Chen Liang was still a little confused when he was pulled over. When did he become a famous doctor in the surrounding area?
He was just a lowly barefoot doctor from Chenjia Village.

"Dr. Chen, please tell us quickly, we'll all listen to you." The tall man recognized Chen Liang and had even gotten medicine from him before.

The people nearby, not understanding what was going on, simply echoed, "You are a miracle doctor, of course we believe you."

As a quack doctor, Chen Liang never expected that one day he would be called a miracle doctor by so many people. He was so excited that he could hardly speak properly.

"This...this...Konjac tofu is indeed not poisonous."

After calming himself down, he continued, "I ate it yesterday, my whole family ate it, and it tasted good. It's not expensive at 3 coins."

Li Ruru was overjoyed. Chen Liang not only solved her big problem, but also helped her sell a bunch of products.

"Dr. Chen, you went to do free clinics again, didn't you?" Li Ruru stuffed a bowl of konjac tofu she had made into Chen Liang's hands. "Eat up, it's free."

Chen Liang felt somewhat unworthy as he held the bowl. He had never done anything so strenuous and unprofitable before, let alone any kind of free medical consultation.

However, he didn't intend to refuse something that was free and delicious.

Seeing Chen Liangzhen finish a bowl of konjac tofu, the tall man immediately took out three coins and said, "Sister, give me a bowl too."

Well, even the way she's addressed has changed; Li Ruru has gone from "auntie" to "young girl."

He then shouted to the people behind him, "If even Dr. Chen dares to eat it, it must be safe to eat."

Seeing this, others also wanted to try it out, so they all took out their money.

In no time, a long queue formed in front of Li Ruru's stall.

Chenjiacun.

Chen Sanbao was getting impatient. "Jinbang, have you thought of a way?"

Chen Jinbang frowned. "Third Uncle, your reason for Third Aunt's inability to have a son is really unacceptable."

"What about being disrespectful to your parents-in-law? What about beating them?" Old Man Chen asked.

Chen Jinbang answered truthfully, "It's okay to beat your parents-in-law, but you need to have evidence."

Zhao's eyes darted around, "Yes, I have evidence."

As she spoke, she dragged her two daughters-in-law into the inner room, saying, "Slap me twice, then pinch me a few times, make sure I leave a mark."

Wang Shuixia and Feng Yuzhu exchanged a glance. Huh?! Such a good thing?!

Snapped--

Someone struck first, and Zhao was slapped, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

Who is so brave? And so ruthless in their actions?
