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

Chapter 81 The Snake-like Movement Went Wrong

He Dajiao's oxcart overturned!

He kept turning left and right, weaving like a snake, which backfired on him.

The oxcart overturned in the wheat field, and the people on it were thrown off, groaning and crying out in pain.

"My arm is broken."

"I sprained my ankle and can't walk."

"He Dajiao, you have to pay my medical expenses."

"Compensate."

The angry crowd surrounded the stunned He Dajiao.

He jumped off the oxcart the instant it overturned, and he was unharmed.

This only amplified the public's condemnation.

"Why do you keep taking the wrong turns instead of the perfectly good road? I think you're doing it on purpose."

"It costs 2 coins to ride in your car, but you have to pay 200 coins for my medical expenses."

Actually, He Dajiao wanted to block Li Ruru from passing, and everyone on the bus could see through his little scheme.

Knowing that he was jealous that Li Ruru's family had bought an oxcart, no one paid any attention to him as he zigzagged along the road.

Many people were envious of Li Ruru's money-making and hoped that something unexpected would happen to her business.

He Dajiao's actions had actually made them secretly pleased for a long time. As long as it didn't affect their own interests and could make Li Ruru unhappy, they were naturally happy.

Now that they're the ones who're injured, they're not having it.

He Dajiao was surrounded by an angry crowd, who were pulling and tugging, crying and shouting in the wheat field.

Xiao Wu swaggered past the crowd in his oxcart, greeting everyone warmly.

"Oh, auntie, grandma, uncle, grandpa, everyone, you're busy, we'll be going now."

As he spoke, he raised his whip, and the ox quickened its pace.

Li Ruru burst out laughing, "Xiao Wu, the way you looked just now was really annoying."

Xiao Wu chuckled, "They can't hit me. He Dajiao deserves what she got for bringing this on herself."

The oxcart soon arrived in the county town. The three daughters and Xiao Yishan stayed at the stall, selling two buckets of undyed konjac tofu.

Li Ruru, Chu Xiu, and Xiao Wu went to deliver goods.

Before leaving, she gave Chaochao a worried reminder, "Take good care of your two younger sisters."

He then said to Xiao Yishan, "Don't let anyone bully them."

After Xiao Yishan and Chaochao obediently nodded, Li Ruru left.

She first delivered the goods to Hongfu Restaurant, where Bailu was already waiting.

She wore a snow-white long dress that shimmered in the sunlight, making her look exactly like a joyful white deer.

"Miss Bai, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Li Ruru got out of the car and opened several wooden buckets to show her.

"These are some of the colors I made. Are you satisfied with them?"

Bai Lu nodded, "The colors all look nice, especially the green and red ones. But the taste..."

"Here, have a taste." Chu Xiu brought out the two bowls of konjac tofu that Li Ruru had prepared. "This is free, no money required."

He handed the chopsticks to Bai Lu, who opened her cherry-like mouth, covered her face with her hand, and slowly took a bite.

"It tastes great, just like before." She was extremely satisfied. "Auntie, I'll find someone to help you unload the goods."

He waved inside, and several men came over and carried away five buckets of konjac tofu.

After a while, they returned the empty bucket.

Bai Lu took out four taels of silver and handed it to Li Ruru, "Aunt Li, this is the final payment. Shall we continue our cooperation tomorrow?"

“Of course,” Li Ruru said.

"Then I'll give you five taels." Bai Lu added another tael as a deposit for tomorrow.

She plans to try it out for three days first, and if the customer feedback is good, she will directly order a monthly subscription.

Li Ruru and the other two delivered the remaining two buckets of green konjac tofu to Chunfeng Tower. Chu Xiu, unusually, didn't want to go in, saying, "I'll wait for you outside."

Li Ruru patted his forehead. "Oh, you've turned around?"

Chu Xiu brushed his messed-up bangs aside and retorted, "How am I a playboy?"

A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold, but he's not a prodigal son, so why would he need to return?

Manager Qian had already made arrangements with the kitchen, and Li Ruru received the money smoothly.

He earned 7 taels of silver in one day, and the three maids could also sell for more than 2 taels.

With an income of about 10 taels of silver a day, Li Ruru was overjoyed.

The three returned to the market, and Xiao Yishan and his friends had almost sold out of their konjac tofu.

As usual, Li Ruru was going to the market. She had used up too many seasonings yesterday, and now she didn't even have salt left at home.

Chu Xiu touched his nose, "That auntie... I..."

Li Ruru knew what he wanted to do, and said directly, "Go see your father with Xiao Wu, and bring him that jar of pig's blood while you're at it."

Chu Xiu, carrying the jar, kept saying to Xiao Wu, "Aunt Li is so kind."

Xiao Wu nodded, "Yes, she's super nice."

Magistrate Chu was too busy to leave, so Chu Xiu left the jar behind, gave a few instructions, and was about to depart.

The advisor stopped him, saying, "Young master, I have already taken care of the matter you asked me to handle last time."

Chu Xiu suddenly realized something, "Is Aunt Li's household registration changed? Is the female household registration processed? Has the murderer who killed Butcher Hu been found?"

"Yes, the first two things have been done, but the murderer has not been caught yet."

The clerk took out two documents and handed them to him. Chu Xiu saw that the surnames of the three girls on the household registration information had been changed, and that the head of the female household was Li Ruru.

He nodded in satisfaction and said to the clerk, "Not bad, you are very efficient. I'll give you half of the jar of pig's blood I gave my father."

Let me tell you, that's not ordinary pig's blood; it's wild boar blood that I, your young master, hunted myself."

The advisor's mouth gaped open. The young master actually wanted to share the master's food with him, and even said that he had hunted a pig.

This...how is this possible?

Seeing that he didn't believe him, Xiao Wu defended his master, saying, "It's true. I went up the mountain with the young master yesterday."

"Oh, alright, young master is really amazing."

The advisor flattered him verbally but didn't believe him in his heart.

Chu Xiu walked to the door, then suddenly turned back and asked, "Is your son getting married soon?"

The advisor nodded nervously, "I'm so sorry to trouble you, young master. You must come to the wedding banquet."

Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Okay, not only will I come, but I'll also give you a big gift."

He planned to have Li Ruru's newly developed colorful konjac tofu made a special appearance at the wedding banquet of the advisor's son.

Let's give Aunt Li a good boost in publicity.

After leaving the county government office, Chu Xiu returned to the market in a good mood.

Li Ruru had already bought the things, and everyone was waiting for the two of them to go home together.

Chu Xiu saw that Li Ruru's basket contained several large bowls, and his lips twitched. "Auntie, aren't these bowls a bit too big?"

That can no longer be called a bowl; it's more like a basin bigger than a human face.

Li Ruru rolled her eyes at him. "What do you know? This big bowl of noodles tastes better and is easier to mix. Besides, don't you guys know how much you eat?"

Chu Xiu chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe, now that Auntie says so, this bowl isn't big at all."

After the two had finished their playful banter and laughter, they were about to set off when they realized that many people around them were watching them.

Several people were still muttering, "It's her and him, tsk tsk, look at how they're smiling. Is this an age-gap relationship?"

"What? It's obvious that someone is trying to 'eat young grass' like an old cow."

Just as Li Ruru was in a daze, Granny Liu across from her suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs, "Zhang Laizi is so pitiful. He has remained chaste for so many years for a worthless divorced woman."

But what happened was that she took a fancy to a pretty boy who hadn't even grown any hair yet.

That pretty boy turned out to be her distant nephew! Everyone's saying, "What kind of mess is this?"
