Gejiazhuang.

Mr. Ge did not hold much hope that Xu Yingtao could make koji.

In fact, as soon as Xu Yingtao left that day, he immediately forgot about the matter.

It happened that the owner of the wine shop came to count the accounts with him as usual today. Halfway through, he suddenly saw a servant coming to report that a peasant woman named Xu Yingtao had agreed to deliver something to her today.

Mr. Ge had an idea and asked the servant to take the person to the flower hall in the front yard and then present the things to him first.

The servant did as he was told.

After a while, Mr. Ge took a round grain of koji from the pottery jar, handed it to the owner of the wine shop, and asked, "Look, what is this?"

At a glance, the owner of the wine shop was surprised: "Jiuqu?"

In order to make sure he was not mistaken, he put it to his nose and sniffed it, then nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it is indeed wine yeast."

He has been dealing with koji for half his life and there is no way he would admit his mistake.

However, the yeast in front of him was much larger than the one applied for by the government. He was just a servant of the Ge family, so he would not ask where the yeast came from.

"Take it and try it to see the quality of the wine brewed with this koji." Mr. Ge gave the whole jar of koji to the owner of the winery and asked someone to bring Xu Yingtao over.

At noon that day, the peace in Bailong Town, which had always been peaceful, was finally broken.

The servants of the Ge family beat gongs to clear the way. The clanging of gongs attracted many townspeople and villagers who came to the market to watch the fun.

"Everyone, this Lu Dazui couple was instructed by someone to extort merchants and corrupt the morals of our town. We are parading them through the streets to make an example for everyone. I hope the people in the town will take this as a warning!"

In the middle of the team were the Lu Dazui couple, whose hands were tied behind their backs. Their hair was disheveled, their faces were covered in dust, and they lowered their heads, not daring to look at anyone.

Some were filled with righteous indignation and immediately grabbed a handful of sand and threw it at the two men, while many others cursed, "You two rats, you deserve it!" "Drive them out of Bailong Town!" "It was them who bought eggs from me a few days ago and didn't pay for them. This is karma!"

If the eggs didn't have to be sold for money, he would have really wanted to smash them on the head with eggs.

Xu Yingtao and Xie Bai were at the end of the group. A town resident recognized her and asked happily, "Young lady, now the truth is out. Will you come to the town to set up a stall tomorrow?"

"Come quickly, my child is missing your family for food."

"Mr. Ge is the most fair. I will never doubt you again!"

Xu Yingtao responded with a warm smile: "Come on, come tomorrow morning, please come and support us."

The old couple from the bun shop also saw her and waved at her happily.

The old lady sighed: "I can't believe this young lady is so amazing that she can convince the Ge family to prove her innocence."

The old man nodded and agreed: "We underestimated her."

Some onlookers also raised questions: "Did you hear that the Ge family said that Lu Dazui and his wife were instructed by someone? Who instructed these two scoundrels to harm the young lady?"

"Who else could it be? Jin Erxi!"

"Ah? Why is it him?"

"You don't know this, but I heard..."

At the same time, Jin Erxi knelt in front of his brother-in-law and slapped himself repeatedly, until his face became red and swollen.

"Brother-in-law, I was possessed this time. I just wanted that young widow to get out of Bailong Town and have Hongbinlou stop cooperating with her. I didn't expect that this matter would alarm the Ge family."

This was clearly a great idea that killed two birds with one stone that he had come up with after thinking for a long time.

Seeing that the business of his restaurant was gradually picking up in the past few days, he didn't expect that Mr. Ge sent someone to visit.

When Shopkeeper Ding heard that his brother-in-law had no intention of repenting, he was so angry that his hands began to shake.

He pointed at Jin Erxi's nose and cursed, "Idiot! I thought you knew your mistakes and could correct them, but I didn't know that you were just afraid of the Ge family, not because you realized your mistakes. If that's the case, I won't tolerate you in my restaurant anymore!"

Although the Ding family is a merchant family, this restaurant is the result of the hard work of several generations. Now it is about to be destroyed in the hands of his brother-in-law. How can he not be angry?

"Don't, brother-in-law!" Jin Erxi begged bitterly, "I won't dare to do it again, brother-in-law, please forgive me this time!"

As he said this, he pulled his sister's skirt again: "Sister, please help me persuade my brother-in-law!"

Jin glared at her brother with a look of disappointment, and then tried to persuade Ding, the shopkeeper, in a soft voice: "Sir, don't be angry with Erxi. He is still a child and doesn't understand."

"Child?" Shopkeeper Ding was so angry that he almost laughed. "You call a man who is almost thirty years old and weighs about 200 pounds a child?"

Jin looked embarrassed and said, "Anyway, he is the only child of our Jin family. He has been spoiled since he was young. Since you are his brother-in-law, you should protect him."

Shopkeeper Ding ran out of patience, his face darkened, and he ordered the servants around him, "Come here, send the Madam and the Second Young Master back to her parents' home."

After saying this, he left without giving the two siblings a chance to speak.

The two siblings were left standing there in shock.

Jin Erxi asked, "Sister, did your brother-in-law chase you away too?"

Jin's face turned red and white, and finally a hint of cruelty appeared in her eyes.

The parade was very effective.

Not only did it clear Xu Yingtao's grievances, but it also re-established cooperation with Hongbinlou.

Shopkeeper Sun really didn't expect that Xu Yingtao could really ask the Ge family to help him. Then he thought about how he not only didn't help at all that day, but also wanted to cut off the relationship with her as soon as possible, and he felt ashamed.

Xu Yingtao did not take this matter to heart. She was very grateful that Manager Sun did not immediately cut off cooperation with her and ask her for compensation.

After some friendly discussions between the two parties, the matter was officially put to rest.

To express his apology, Shopkeeper Sun specially brought three pounds of mutton from the kitchen as a gift of compensation.

Mutton is a rare delicacy that is usually unavailable, so Xu Yingtao accepted it generously.

Before returning to the village, Xu Yingtao made a special trip to Jishidiang. Manager Luo and Doctor Wen first congratulated her, and then helped her pack several pounds of chili peppers that they had accumulated in the past few days.

Xu Yingtao bought some extra wound medicine.

Doctor Wen asked with concern: "Are you injured, young lady? I will feel your pulse."

Xu Yingtao shook her head and told Doctor Wen about how she had picked up an eagle. Doctor Wen was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

But he still prepared a new veterinary version of the wound medicine for her.

On the way back, the smile on Xu Yingtao's face never faded.

Even Xie Bai, who was usually very worried, had a smile on his face.

Xu Yingtao teased him: "Not worried anymore?"

Xie Bai shook his head: "No worries."

With my sister-in-law around, there are no obstacles that I can’t overcome.

"Let's go faster and go back to tell mother and the others the good news!"

Nowadays, there are more and more valuable things in the house, and she can't carry them all with her wherever she goes. Unless necessary, Jiang stays at home most of the time to look after the house.

Only Xu Yingtao and Xie Bai came to town today.

When passing by Village Chief Zheng's house, Xu Yingtao saw that the door was closed. She guessed that they must be waiting for news at home.

Sure enough, as soon as the two entered the yard, they were surrounded by the crowd.
