The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

That’s right, in order to make this hawthorn cake, they spent ten cents to ask Gao Lai Di for some advice.

Wang Laotai's daughter-in-law, Kang Lanhua, was pinched hard and tears immediately flowed down her face. "Mom! You were there when Gao Laidi came over. I told him to hold on a little longer, but you insisted that he was just a waste of time."

Old Lady Wang was so angry that she slapped him. "You little bitch, you dare to blame me? I'll beat you to death. I'm telling you, if you can't sell these things today, I'll sell you to a brothel and make back the money you used to buy candy!"

Kang Lanhua hid and cried, not knowing what to do...

Yu Ruyue and Shen Jiaojiao brought all the remaining 85 kilograms today. Compared with other hawthorn cakes, their prices did not seem that expensive. Soon most of them were sold out, leaving only four or five kilograms.

Yu Ruyue felt a little distressed when she saw Shen Jiaojiao, who had taken on most of the work and was exhausted with sweat, "We'll sell two more kilograms and then stop. The rest will be for you to enjoy as a snack. Do you want hawthorn cake, sour jujube cake, or both?"

Shen Jiaojiao had long wanted to try what the food so many people were scrambling for tasted like. But when she thought about how much brown rice she could buy with fourteen coins for one ounce of rice, she shook her head and refused, "Let's just sell it all. If you want to eat it, we can go back and cook it."

Yu Ruyue was just about to say something to persuade her when Kang Lanhua, with tears on her face, walked over timidly.

Shen Jiaojiao's smiling face suddenly drooped. "What are you doing here? Are you trying to take our place?"

Kang Lanhua shuddered, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She no longer had the arrogant and provocative look she had at the beginning. "I-we didn't mean it..."

Shen Jiaojiao snorted coldly: "I don't care if you did it on purpose or not, just don't hang around in front of me, it's very unlucky."

Kang Lanhua pursed her lips and tears fell again.

"Why are you crying? Act like I bullied you! Hurry up and leave. Don't delay my business here."

Kang Lanhua trembled all over after being yelled at, and fell to her knees. "It's my fault, it's all my fault. Please, sister, can you give our family a chance to live? Let us sell the things we made."

Shen Jiaojiao was speechless. "Are you sick? If you want to sell it, just sell it. Why are you begging us for help?"

Kang Lanhua cried even harder, "Please, sisters, give me a way out. Please don't stop those people from coming to buy our hawthorn cakes. It's all my fault. I accept all the beatings and punishments. Can you please show some mercy and let me go?"

Yu Ruyue looked at the resentful faces of the passersby who were unaware of the situation and shouted, "The fact that your hawthorn cakes can't sell has nothing to do with us. We two weak women can't put a knife to the necks of those customers and force them to buy our cakes."

"You should go back with your mother and find out the reasons for your mistakes!"

Kang Lanhua retorted in a low voice, somewhat unconvinced: "Obviously, those people came to buy our hawthorn cakes in the beginning. It was you who insisted on shouting that we were fake that attracted them. Since they recognized your face, why don't you help us sell it? What else can you do?"

"We are all from the same village. You can't just stand by and watch someone die without helping."

Shen Jiaojiao has always had a hot temper. After hearing this, she could no longer hold back and raised her hand to hit him.

"Stop! You two have gone too far. Bullying your sister in front of so many people is truly cruel! I, Meng Qi, will uphold justice here today!"

"Yes! Who are you? Why don't you let them sell hawthorn cakes here? Are you abusing your power to bully others? I, Su Meier, hate bad people like you who abuse your power to bully others the most!"

Yu Ruyue looked in the direction of the voice and saw two beautiful women wearing white dresses and jade hairpins on their heads, looking at her with resentment.

"Ladies! You may have misunderstood. This person is not..."

Meng Qi angrily interrupted Yu Ruyue, "What misunderstanding? I saw it all. You two are just bullying her here and not letting others buy her things!?"

Su Meier also agreed: "That's right! We both just saw it. It's just a piece of broken hawthorn cake. Do you really think it's a treasure?"

"Big sister, please stand up. There is no need to grovel before these two vicious women."

Seeing someone backing her up, Kang Lanhua cried even harder. "Misses, please help me. I really can't live anymore. How can people be so mean? They see that our business is booming and they're messing with it. They don't let customers buy our stuff and they say our stuff is fake."

"We all picked them from the same mountain, so what's the point of distinguishing? Real or fake?"

"If everyone in the world could be as kind and wonderful as these two young ladies, I wouldn't be forced to kneel down and endure such humiliation."

Yu Ruyue, Shen Jiaojiao and the vendor who witnessed the whole process couldn't help laughing.

This is the first time I've seen someone perform lying with open eyes so vividly.

Su Mei'er and Meng Qi had no idea what the people around them were laughing at. They just felt a surge of righteousness after being praised. This was a great opportunity to make a name for themselves!

Su Meier raised her head and said proudly, "So they are just two peasants! I thought they were some powerful people. Let me tell you, my future husband is a student at Tiande Academy and will become a high-ranking official in the future."

Meng Qi also put her hands on her hips, her face full of pride, "Humph! You have never seen the world! My future husband is a student at Tiande Academy!"

"Shen Ruichen! Have you heard of him? He passed the imperial examination at the age of 15! His future is limitless. When I marry him, I'll be an official's wife. You'll all have to bow and kneel when you see me."

"Of course! Only someone as kind-hearted as me is worthy of being Shen Ruichen's wife!"

Shen Ruichen!?

Yu Ruyue looked at the dazed Shen Jiaojiao with a complicated expression. She felt that she was truly miserable. Before, it was the original owner who pestered her brother every day, and she had finally endured until she could travel through time. Now, only her future sister-in-law was like this again, unable to distinguish right from wrong...

When Kang Lanhua heard the three words Shen Ruichen, her hands began to tremble with nervousness.

Su Mei'er and Meng Qi thought she was frightened, so they quickly helped her up.

Su Mei'er arrogantly ordered Yu Ruyue, "I order you to apologize to her right now and sell all her hawthorn cakes, otherwise don't blame me for going to Tiande Academy to look for my future husband."
