The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

"It's not that I don't want you, just get up." Lin Zhi said anxiously, and quickly stood up and pulled her up. "What I mean is that if you want to be free, I won't go to the government to register, and I will use the wages to offset the money I gave to your family."

Wang Xiaohua finally woke up from her dream and realized the meaning of Lin Zhi's words. However, she had no desire to be free at all: "Boss, I don't want to be free. I beg you to buy me."

After saying that, Wang Xiaohua tried to kneel down again, but was stopped by Lin Zhi quickly.

"Boss, if I wasn't free, my father and grandma would definitely sell me again, so please..." Before she finished her words, Wang Xiaohua choked up, tears welling up in her eyes.

Her mother had inquired about the boss and found out that he was a kind-hearted man. She told her to be a good servant to him, which was much better than marrying those unknown people.

After hearing her words, Lin Zhi stopped trying to persuade her and told her gently, "Okay, I'll give you a year to think about it. If you regret it after a year, you can come find me."

Wang Xiaohua nodded repeatedly and said sincerely, "Thank you, boss."

She agreed obediently on the surface, but in her heart she was extremely determined that she didn't need freedom at all.

After all, in this world, normal people have such a hard and difficult life after getting married, not to mention that she is plain-looking or even a little ugly. Her life after marriage will probably be even more difficult and full of hardships.

......

The new store has not yet opened, and Lin Zhi has been training employees there.

During the three-day probation period, two full days are spent on training, and only those who can persist can become formal employees.

Fortunately, these employees cherish this hard-earned job very much. No one objected during the training. Everyone listened attentively and seriously.

Although several employees lagged behind in their learning progress, they had a good attitude and showed great sincerity and effort. Lin Zhi gave them a break and let them pass, but repeatedly reminded them to catch up on the training content in their free time.

On the third day of the training, brand new furniture began to arrive.

Everyone started cleaning busily, making comprehensive preparations for the first business tomorrow.

The new store has a very spacious space, complete kitchen facilities, sufficient supplies in the warehouse, and even a well has been dug.

By the evening, all the necessary preparations had been completed.

Then, the pots, carts and other items that were previously in the store were successfully moved over with the concerted efforts of the employees.

From now on, all food business will be conducted in the new store. As for the old store, Lin Zhi plans to renovate it and sell storybooks here in the future.

After this careful operation, the new store is finally ready to open for business.

Before opening the shop, Lin Zhi thoughtfully bribed a group of beggars to help spread the news so that more people could know the good news of the shop's opening.

At the same time, Lin Zhi also asked the two brothers to announce to everyone in the college that new storybooks would be released soon as well as collector's editions of previous storybooks, so that students could also obtain this important information in a timely manner.

Since the target audience of the second storybook was mainly women, Lin Zhi specially invited Li Fanghua to help promote it. For this purpose, she gave Li Fanghua the second volume of "Interesting Stories in the Boudoir" for her to read in advance.

After reading the first and second volumes of "Interesting Stories in the Boudoir", Li Fanghua could not calm down for a long time...

She finally understood deeply why other noble ladies had endless family affairs to talk about every day. Their lives were really full of thrills and hardships.

The noble ladies who were close to Li Fanghua recently felt that Li Fanghua was acting strange, and she always looked at them with pity.

----------Two-in-one dividing line---------------

"Fanghua, why are you so... weird lately?"

They were close to Li Fanghua and usually called each other by their nicknames.

The person who asked Li Fanghua was one of the female copyists. Due to family matters, she did not participate in the copying work of the storybook "Interesting Stories in the Boudoir".

Not only her, but the other two were like this too. Since Jianghu's novel began to be published, their lives in their husband's family had become smoother and smoother.

However, this happy and contented life did not last long and soon disappeared without a trace.

It seemed as if that pleasant time was just an illusory dream.

Although they still have the courage to fight against their in-laws, a series of recent events have made them realize that the truth is not on their side, and even if they fight hard, they cannot change the status quo.

Li Fanghua looked at her with increasingly complicated eyes, and even the other people noticed something unusual.

"Let's go to my house and sit down together." Li Fanghua suddenly suggested.

Everyone looked around at the surrounding environment and crowd, and immediately understood Li Fanghua's intention.

She was worried that the topics discussed here would be spread, so she chose to invite them to the Feng family.

There are few family members and servants, so there are correspondingly fewer disputes. It is quite difficult to arrange someone to go to the Feng family to gather information.

They went to Feng's house, where their conversation could be more private and safe.

So, the group followed Li Fanghua to the Feng family.

Li Fanghua warmly invited everyone to come to her yard, and after sending away the maids and old women around, she finally started to talk about business.

She said to one of the women with a mysterious look on her face, "Ali, quickly open page 20 of this book 'Interesting Stories of the Boudoir' and take a look." Then she handed the book to her.

Although Ali was a little confused, she still obediently took the book and read it carefully.

The other ladies watched this scene curiously, not knowing what would happen next.

After a while, Ali was completely immersed in the storybook and was reading it intently.

The other ladies did not disturb her and started talking in low voices.

All of a sudden, there was a loud noise—“Bang!”

The sudden sound frightened the ladies who were talking quietly, and their bodies could not help but tremble.

Then, they all turned their heads to look for the source of the sound, and their eyes finally fell on Ali.

The script that was in Ali's hand just now had fallen to the ground, and Ali was sitting there with an angry look on her face.

It was obvious that the loud noise just now was caused by Ali throwing the book in anger.

"Ali, are you okay?" one of the ladies asked with concern, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ali's hysterical crying.

Ali cried sadly and angrily, her tears kept flowing like a flood that broke through a dam, making people feel distressed.

“Wuwuwu… They are going too far! They are going too far! Wuwuwu…”

The group of ladies who were on good terms looked at each other in confusion for a moment. They didn't know why Ali suddenly behaved like this, so they turned to look at Li Fanghua, hoping to get an answer from her.

Li Fanghua shrugged helplessly. She pointed to the script on the ground and motioned everyone to take a look.

The answer is inside.

One of them picked up the book on the ground and turned to page 20. The other ladies also leaned over to see what was going on.

Ali was still crying and Li Fanghua did not comfort her.

Since she has started crying, it would be better to let her cry and vent all the anger in her heart.

Ali just sobbed for a short while and then stopped crying.

After being married for so long, she already had a clear idea of ​​the character of her husband's family. The reason why she cried so miserably just now was mainly because of the anger in her heart.

After calming down, Ali sat quietly aside, waiting patiently for others to finish reading the storybook.

They have a very good relationship on weekdays, and they all know clearly about the troubles happening in their family. Ali is naturally not afraid of exposing the family's dirty laundry.

After all, they always complain about their family members on weekdays. They know the situation of their own family, and Ali is also aware of the right and wrong of their own family. Embarrassment in front of each other is just what they know.

"Ali......."

After a while, they finished reading the pages of the storybook. They all looked at Ali with sympathy, and for a moment they didn't know how to comfort her.

The name of this storybook is "Interesting Things in the Boudoir". Just looking at the title, one would think it records the pleasant and interesting things in the lives of girls in the boudoir.

Only those who have truly read the storybooks will understand that what is written in them are not interesting stories full of laughter, but all kinds of terrifying and even life-threatening terrible things.

Contrary to the title of the book, the events inside are not interesting at all.

"Don't call Ali, turn to page 32, page 51, page 70..." Li Fanghua gently put down the teacup in her hand and glanced at everyone indifferently.

Hearing this, several ladies, including Ali, buried their heads deeply in the script again.

Reading always takes a certain amount of time. While they were concentrating on reading the storybook, Li Fanghua took out the second volume and read it carefully.

She had a smooth marriage, and there were no dirty things in her family as described in the storybooks. She had never thought that the open and secret struggles among the women in the harem would be more intense than the fighting on the battlefield.

"hiss!"

"Wow!"

"........"

Li Fanghua could hear people's gasps and sighs from time to time.

“This, this, this…”

One of them pointed at the script with a trembling hand, dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing what to say.

It turns out that the things that happened to the heroine in the film were 70% similar to what they experienced in real life.

The 30% difference is that the protagonist in the storybook can always rely on his own intelligence to escape danger and handle things just right.

But they were stuck in the quagmire, unable to extricate themselves, and eventually got themselves into trouble and misery.

"Could it be that Mrs. Lin has planted spies in our house? Why are the contents so similar to what happened to us?" Ali muttered to herself.

Although her voice was soft, there were few people in the yard where they were, and only a few of them were huddled together, so everyone could hear it clearly.

One of the ladies took two steps back involuntarily because of her inner fear: "This Madam Lin's methods are too..."

Li Fanghua couldn't help but sneer and shook her head gently: "You all know when this story was written."

After hearing this, several people fell into silence.

Although the others did not participate in the copying of this storybook, Li Fanghua had participated in it early on. They all knew the specific time of their participation.

At that time, these troublesome things had not happened in their family.

That’s not right. Some of these things have actually already happened.

When she copied this storybook, it was almost the end of the year, and her family was not as sparsely populated as Li Fanghua's.

At the end of the year, there were many things to prepare, and there were also complicated social interactions to deal with, so there was no extra free time at all. Therefore, they did not participate in copying the new storybook.

I didn't expect that just because I didn't copy the book, I missed this wonderful plot and suffered so much injustice in the past.

"You already know what's in the book, why didn't you remind me in advance?" Ali looked at Li Fanghua complainingly, her eyes full of anger.

Li Fanghua rolled her eyes in annoyance: "You just came to my house after the New Year, how can I know what happened to you before the New Year?"

Ali: “….”

This is really my fault.

During the Chinese New Year, she spent too much time visiting relatives and friends, and originally planned to visit Feng's family at the beginning of the year. However, she was delayed because she was wronged by her husband's family and stayed at her parents' home for several days after the Chinese New Year.

"I was wrong!" Ah Li covered her eyes, feeling embarrassed and anxious: "Fang Hua, can you lend me the book for a few days first?"

After all, they were playmates and were quite shameless when they got along with each other, so her embarrassment only lasted for a moment.

Her brain is not as good as the heroine in the storybook. When she encounters these dirty things, besides feeling wronged, the only solution she wants to think of is divorce.

Perhaps it was because she had always emphasized the issue of divorce, so even though she was in an unfavorable position in the family feud, her in-laws did not dare to make too much trouble.

Ali asked for the storybook, and several others also asked for it.

They were just noble ladies from a small county town and had never experienced such fierce harem struggles.

No one knew when it started, but except for the Feng family's backyard which was safe and sound, the backyards of other nobles in the county all caught fire, and everyone was in unrest.
