Never divorce, never stop getting rich

Shi Niangzi's maiden name was Su. She was an orphan. She was betrothed to the Shi family when her parents were still alive. She lost her parents at the age of ten and lived alone in the mountains.

When she was sixteen, she married the sickly eldest son of the Shi family. However, the eldest son died just a few days after they got married, and Mrs. Shi became a widow.

When Lady Shi first got married, the second son of the Shi family was still young, and the family only had a simple snack shop and could barely make ends meet.

Even if the two elders of the Shi family had any selfish motives, they did not show them on the surface. At least they were quite nice to Mrs. Shi.

By the time the Shi family had transformed a small snack shop into a large restaurant with the help of Mrs. Shi's craftsmanship, the two elders enjoyed a peaceful life and passed away one after another. The eldest sister-in-law, who had always supported the family, became a stumbling block to the success of her younger brother, who had been idle since childhood and was born with a rebellious nature.

First she was shocked, then silent, and then seemed numb. Lady Shi looked at the divorce letter on the table and said calmly, "So what do you want?"

"Hand over the land deeds and house deeds of my Shi family. Don't think I don't know. My parents changed these contracts to my name before they died. How can you, an outsider, be my master?"

The second son of the Shi family sat on a chair in the restaurant with his legs crossed. After he finished speaking, he glanced at his wife behind him.

Of course, Mrs. Shi understood who instigated Shi Laoer. Ever since Shi Laoer went against the wishes of his parents-in-law and insisted on marrying a girl through a secret door, the originally balanced family was broken. To be precise, the deaths of the two elders were all related to Shi Laoer.

"I can give you everything, but why do you want to divorce your brother's wife?"

It’s not that Mrs. Shi misses the Shi family so much, but she is used to the busyness of the Shi family and the restaurant business. Many people here were recruited by her, and she is worried that these people will lose their jobs after she leaves.

"Nonsense! What in the Shi family is not mine? Whoever I want to leave must leave. You, an outsider, eat and drink my food in my house.

I'm already giving my damned elder brother a face by asking you to get out. Otherwise, I'll make you spit out all the food and clothing you've had in the Shi family for so many years!" As he spoke, Shi Lao Er twitched his lips in pain.

Lady Shi burst into laughter on the spot. She raised her finger and pointed at Shi Lao Er and scolded him, "Yours? Did you earn a single cent here? What else can you do besides eating, drinking, whoring and gambling?"

I married into the Shi family when I was sixteen. The Shi family was just a small food shop with very few customers every day. If it weren't for my cooking skills, your Shi family would still be selling fried cakes in the West Market!"

"Fart...fart!"

Shi Laoer looked nervously at the people gathered at the gate. He was rich now and hated it most when people talked about his family's bad fortune. He went out with his friends to spend money and no one would flatter him. If he ran out of money, he would come back and ask his widowed sister-in-law for it. He was so unhappy!

But if people really knew that his Shi family made their fortune by relying on a woman, where would he put his face? Wouldn't he be pointed at and accused of being a gigolo when he went out?

Little did they know that the people outside the store had long known that the best chef in Fuyunlou was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shi family, and they were secretly jealous of the Shi family.

This is like marrying a treasure trove, but who could have thought that after the death of the second elder of the Shi family, the second elder Shi would go crazy and actually want to drive the cash cow out of the Shi family. Isn't this equivalent to killing the chicken to get the eggs?

"You can't say that, sister-in-law. My husband also feels sorry for her. She became a widow at a young age. Now she is in her forties and still alone. She doesn't even have a child.

After all, we are a family. If my sister-in-law remarries, we are willing to do our best to support her."

The enchanting woman was not very pretty, but her figure was seductive. When Shi Laoer spoke, his eyes widened. He agreed with everything the woman said.

Mrs. Shi secretly sighed that the second son of Shi Lao was a loser, but the eldest son of Shi Lao died of illness that year, and the two old men had only this little son, so they couldn't help but spoil him.

She was out all day making money and had no time to help discipline him. Plus, the boy was naughty by nature, so as his life got better, he became more and more depraved.

The wife that Shi Laoer married was a well-known secret agent in this area. Not only Shi Laoer, but even the drinking buddies around Shi Laoer were mostly this woman's slaves.

But other people still have a bottom line and are clear-headed. In the business of flesh and blood, the interactions are just a show.

Unfortunately, Shi Lao Er was a confused person. Not only was all the money he had on him swindled away by this woman, but the Shi family's property was probably also lost.

"I won't marry." If it weren't for the childhood marriage, Mrs. Shi wouldn't even enter the Shi family.

"Then get out!" Shi Laoer was furious. He felt that Shi Niangzi was disrespectful to his sweetheart. His sweetheart was so kind and every word she said was for the sake of this woman, but this woman didn't appreciate it.

"If I leave, what will happen to the restaurant?" What Shi Niangzi was most worried about was the business she had built with her hard work and the people she had worked with in the restaurant.

"What should I do? It's better without you. As a woman, you should go home to take care of the children and do housework. Why are you working outside? You are simply bringing shame to my Shi family. I'm going to divorce you..."

Shi Laoer got angry whenever he mentioned this. In this world, all women stay at home honestly. Only his so-called sister-in-law is busy in the kitchen every day, and hangs out with a group of kitchen helpers and chefs. It's really a disgrace to his Shi family.

His sweetheart was right. If he didn't get rid of it, something bad might happen in the future, and his deceased elder brother would be in trouble.

Shi Laoer's wife stopped Shi Laoer and said to Shi Niangzi with cold eyes, "When you leave, there will naturally be someone to replace you."

"But they haven't started yet..."

Mrs. Shi knew they were talking about the apprentices she had brought in recent years, but many of these apprentices were relatives of the Shi family hired by the two elders. Not only were they afraid of hard work and fatigue, but their cooking skills were also not very good. If they were to take charge of the cooking, I'm afraid...

"Not yet a master chef? You really think you're some god-like chef!"

The door curtain of the kitchen was opened, and a cook came up to Shi Niangzi with a booklet in his hand and gently slapped her face with it. He said arrogantly:

"You're just a fake, just reading from a book. What's with all the talent and natural talent you claim to be? If you didn't have this booklet, you probably wouldn't be able to even make the simplest stir-fry."

Shi Niangzi's calm face finally showed anger. She reached out to grab the booklet, but was pushed aside by the cook and almost fell to the ground.

"Shi Lao Er, you actually helped outsiders pry open my dowry box!"

Shi Lao Er spat indifferently and said, "What outsiders? These are all my own people, you are the outsider. This booklet is the recipe of my Shi family.

You took advantage of my parents' old age and stole it, so now it's back to them. I advise you to get out of here right now if you know what's good for you. Otherwise, I'll sue you for theft and send you to jail!"

"Shi Lao Er!! Give me back the booklet!!"

Shi Niangzi rushed forward to snatch the book back, but was slapped hard by Shi Laoer instead.

"I tell you, Su Xin, no one here will stand up for you. All your family members are dead, and no one will support you! Including those laborers you once hired!" Shi Laoer was really fearless.

Shi Niangzi covered her face and looked around. Most of the people in the restaurant had come out, and some had disappeared. Those who came out either looked around or kept their heads down and remained silent.

She had just been beaten, and none of the guys, whom she had worried would be affected, stepped forward to stop it.

Sure enough, Shi Laoer was right. She had lived a very unsuccessful life over the years.

"Who said she has no family?"
