"That's right. I also heard that besides tofu, that stall also has a lot of pastries, which are all extremely expensive items from Baixiangzhai."

“You know, a single pastry in Baixiangzhai costs one tael of silver. If they display it like that and sell it, they must be able to earn back at least half of the copper coins.”

Hearing that she could earn half a tael of silver, Li Guixiang was tempted, while inwardly cursing Lin Cai for being a bad person.

After cursing them, they cursed Gu Dachui and his siblings for being traitors. They said that since they all shared the surname Gu, they didn't know to take good things home and instead gave them to that Lin guy, which was utterly heartless.

But she never considered that she, including the old house, had never raised Gu Dachui and his siblings, even for a day.

The reason they were able to live and grow up is that, besides their biological father, Lin Cai was still willing to take care of them.

Besides, all those profitable business ideas came from Lin Cai alone, and Gu Dachui and his group had no right to take away other people's achievements.

Gu Jiao'er, who was inside the house, heard it too, and the hatred in her eyes was almost overflowing. Because she had lost her hair, she had never dared to go out.

Unexpectedly, Lin Cai's life is quite enjoyable.

She's barely surviving now, how can Lin Cai have a good life?

She was extremely unwilling to accept this, and she would never let Lin Cai continue to have such good luck.

The villagers' instigation, coupled with Li Guixiang's greed, made her unable to restrain herself any longer, so she went directly to the Gu family.

Lin Cai was home alone at the moment. Hua Ni and Gu Dachui had gone to town together, along with his younger siblings.

She didn't go because someone has to stay at home right now, and she wasn't comfortable leaving other people at home.

So they simply let Gu Dachui take his wife, younger brother, and younger sister with him.

When Li Guixiang arrived, she saw Lin Cai sitting in the courtyard washing red beans.

Knowing it was a red bean, she went straight over and said, "Sister-in-law, are you washing red beans?"

"How can you wash all these red beans? Let me help you, sister-in-law."

Looking at the less than half-full basin of red beans in her bowl, Lin Cai suspected that this woman was blind, otherwise how could she not even tell how many red beans there were?

"No need, no need for help, I can manage myself."

"Oh dear, how can you do it yourself? This is for cooking. If it's not cleaned properly, those important people will definitely get diarrhea. I'm the best at washing things, so you should leave it to me."

If Lin Cai still didn't understand Li Guixiang's purpose after hearing this, then she was a fool.

However, since they had already said that, she couldn't refuse, so she simply handed over all the things that needed washing that day to Li Guixiang.

Seeing that pile of things, Li Guixiang was a little shocked: "How come there's so much? Do all of these things need to be washed?"

"Of course they all need to be washed. These are all food items, so we have to be extra careful when washing them. Just like you said, if they're not washed properly, those important people might get diarrhea after eating them, which wouldn't be good."

For the entire day, except for eating and using the toilet, Li Guixiang never left the water. Lin Cai found almost everything in the house that needed to be washed or could be washed for her.

Li Guixiang finished washing the food after Gu Dachui and the others returned.

Li Guixiang, who had been listless and suffering from back pain, suddenly brightened up when she saw Gu Dachui and the others return.

"Big Hammer, you guys are back! How was business today? How much silver did you make?"

Gu Dachui, who had just entered the room, was a little confused by the question. Before he could answer, he heard the voice next to him.

"Mom, look what my eldest brother bought for me! He bought me so much stuff, food and clothes. It's not just me, my little sister and second brother got some too. We bought so much stuff today, we've spent all our money."

Li Guixiang, who had been waiting for Gu Dachui's answer, nearly popped her eyes out when she heard this.

"What did you say? You spent all your money after a day's work?"

"Oh dear, you spendthrift! Why are you all so greedy? You already have food and clothes at home, why buy so much more?"

"We only sold things for one day, that must have been a lot of money, and you guys spent it all! Ugh, I'm so angry, so angry..."

"Auntie, it wasn't your money, why are you so angry?"

As soon as the straightforward Ershi finished speaking, Li Guixiang fell silent.

But the straightforward Ershi seemed to be not enough, and suddenly asked, "Does my older brother need permission to buy things for his younger brother when he makes money from his business?"

Upon hearing this, Li Guixiang felt even more embarrassed.

But she wasn't someone who could be defeated so easily. She glared at Ershi and said fiercely, "Ershi, you're just a little kid, what do you know?"

"Da Chui did make the money, and he certainly has the right to make his own decisions, but he forgot that he has so many elders above him."

“Your grandmother is still alive, and so are your eldest and second uncles, but what about you siblings? You’ve long forgotten about us.”

"You made money but didn't know how to be filial to your elders. You just spent it all in secret. If you were in someone else's home, you would probably have been sent to the county jail long ago."

"It's only because the Gu family, and your aunt, pity you and care for you that they haven't done anything to you, but you can't..."

"Oh dear, oh dear, did I go to the wrong door?"

"As soon as I arrived, I heard an old hen clucking away, but I have no idea what she was clucking about!"

Lin Bao walked in from outside. He had come back with Gu Dachui and the others, but they parted ways at the village entrance to go back to the Lin family.

Unexpectedly, just as they arrived at the Gu family's door, they heard Li Guixiang say these words.

Lin Cai was speechless. She never expected that Li Guixiang was so good at manipulation. In this era, filial piety was the supreme authority that transcended everything.

If someone says you are unfilial, you will definitely be condemned by everyone. If someone accuses you of being unfilial, your life is over.

But this only applies to those who cannot be self-reliant, those who are blindly loyal and foolish. If it were anyone else, upon hearing Li Guixiang's words, they would surely guarantee that all the money from the next sale would be handed over to the Gu family.

Lin Cai wanted to see what choice Gu Dachui and his siblings would make, as they hadn't reacted yet.

Her words were interrupted, and Li Guixiang's face turned pale. The sudden appearance of Lin Bao prevented her from continuing her speech.

Because this person is reckless and will take action if you upset him.
