Xu Ping'an disliked Xie Shuheng, who was always brandishing swords and knives. He always looked at everyone with a cold gaze.

On the day of her return visit to her parents' home, she even considered taking action against her brother-in-law.

I compromised at the time, but thinking about it now still makes me feel frustrated.

Then he said, "From now on, my wife, you should focus on making money, and I will study hard. If you can really run the shop well, we will be able to hold our heads high at home."

"In that case, your status as a merchant won't be discussed too much."

“But if you fail to manage the shop well, then if Mother wants me to take a concubine or a second wife, I won’t be able to refuse.” Xu Ping’an sighed as he said this.

The stepmother quickly hugged him, saying, "Husband, don't worry. I know you only have me in your heart. You will never wait until I force you to marry someone else. I will manage the business well and make money."

"I can't live without you, my husband."

Whenever Jiang Zhiwan hugged him so pitifully, Xu Ping'an felt his male pride was greatly satisfied.

Now that she has all of Jiang Zhiwan's money on hand, she can afford to spend it on drinks and meals and show it off to other men.

Therefore, Xu Ping'an was still quite satisfied with his wife.

Fortunately, he married his stepmother, who was devoted to him and to the family.

In the future, Xu Ping'an must subtly influence her to listen to her mother, always remember her teachings, have no thoughts of her own, and think of the Xu family in everything she does. This is what makes a true Xu family woman.

Jiang Zhiyun and her mother-in-law originally planned to buy some ingredients for their stall the next day and then go home.

Arriving at the pork stall, Jiang Zhiyun thought that she could use minced pork, and then buy some chili peppers to crush, fry them in oil, add some bay leaves, and then use them to make whistles.

When eating mushroom noodle soup, adding these minced meat toppings will cost an extra three coins per spoonful.

Thinking about it, I did just that.

Yunniang spent money to buy a large piece of lean meat, and Zhang Shi felt a pang of heartache: "This... so much! Can our family finish it all?"

"Take it back and make some novelties to sell."

With that said, Zhang, the mother-in-law, stopped talking. Anyway, following Yunniang's lead was always the right thing to do.

There's so much food that we can't finish it all at home, but if we just put it out at a stall, I feel like Yunniang will definitely make a profit.

The shop owner was also happy: "Many people in this area don't like to eat pork. My meat is hard to sell, but now that this young lady has come to buy some, it's a great deal for me. Today I can have a good meal with my family."

Yunniang raised an eyebrow: "Then remember to save me a piece of fresh meat tomorrow, so my mother-in-law or I can come and get it!"

"Okay!" the boss said happily.

While they were talking, Jiang Zhiyun noticed the pig's head on the cutting board, which was covered with a cloth and seemed to be neglected.

The pig intestines were thrown into a large basin on the ground.

She asked curiously, "Is the owner no longer selling pig's head meat?"

The shop owner shook his head: "Will anyone want this?"

"Pig's head meat doesn't taste good. Nobody wants the hind leg meat or the pork shoulder meat either. Most people dislike the pig's head meat, saying that eating it makes them stupid. It's mainly because it has a strange taste when cooked."

"So over time, we just took them home, cooked them, and ate them ourselves. We just put up with them even if they didn't taste good."

Jiang Zhiyun smiled and said, "I'll take it."

Pig's head meat is such a delicious food that even if some people don't like it, Jiang Zhiyun doesn't think it will stop the business from selling.

She can buy some seasonings, mix them herself, and then make braised pig's head. She'll bring it to the market to sell tomorrow.

"Boss, how much is this? Just sell it to me."

The shopkeeper was flattered: "You want all of this? Then... I'll give you five coins."

If this stuff were in high demand, it would definitely be worth more than five coins. And Jiang Zhiyun had already agreed to a long-term partnership with this young lady.

So the boss is naturally sincere at this moment.

If we trick Jiang Zhiyun now, what will happen if she doesn't come back in the future?

Jiang Zhiyun nodded: "And pig intestines, I'll have those too. How much are they?"

"You want this too?" The shopkeeper felt even more dizzy. "Young lady, don't buy all these things just because you don't want them. It's because nobody likes them or thinks they taste good that nobody uses them."

"Why...why are you buying all this junk?"

"Alright, the pig intestines were going to be thrown away anyway, so you can have these."

"Hmm." Jiang Zhiyun looked at the fresh and tender large intestine. She thought that when she took it home, she could clean it herself and eat it.

Zhang carried these things, and she was much more melancholy than Jiang Zhiyun.

I probably won't use any of these things after I buy them, mainly because I feel a bit nauseous while carrying them.

"Yunniang, although this pig intestine is a gift, it's really useless!"

"If you take it home, you'll have to find a place to throw it away. Are you really thinking of selling it?"

Jiang Zhiyun shook her head: "There are so few pig intestines, we won't sell them. We'll keep them for ourselves."

Zhang: ? ?

Is this edible?

She subtly expressed her dislike, but dared not say anything. She said, "Yunniang, then I won't eat it. I'll eat Shuheng's porridge. I can't stand the taste of this pig's head meat and intestines."

Yunniang bought scallions, garlic, ginger, and quite a few hawthorns.

Hawthorns are cheap, apparently because there are many hawthorn trees in the villages here, and many villagers pick them to sell. However, because they are everywhere, there are few buyers, so these things are not expensive.

As for the spices that Jiang Zhiyun needed, she went to the Chinese medicine shop, which was also Doctor Su's medicine shop.

Doctor Su handed her all the small materials she had been muttering to herself: "What do you want these for? They don't look like prescriptions for treating illnesses."

"I'll use it to make brine, so I can cook things with it later. If I happen to pass by your clinic, I can bring some over for you to try."

Doctor Su didn't know what it was yet, but he nodded and said, "That's good."

"By the way, I'll dig up some simple medicinal herbs for you this time. Go dig them up tomorrow and bring them to me so I can see if they're real."

"to make!"

Anyway, Jiang Zhiwan goes mushroom picking every morning. While her mother-in-law goes mushroom picking, Jiang Zhiwan can go dig for medicinal herbs.

After saying goodbye to Doctor Su, Madam Zhang became even more excited: "Yunniang, you are truly remarkable. The family needs you so devotedly."

"I'm just worried that you'll be too busy. There are so many things waiting for you to do. Don't worry, I'll do whatever you tell me to do. I can endure hardship."

"When I was in exile, I ate everything, grass roots and tree roots, and I was still very healthy."

Zhang's health is indeed good; in fact, she has gained even more weight in the past two days thanks to Jiang Zhiyun's efforts to nourish her.

"Both Yang and I have visibly gained weight. Shuheng will keep an eye on Yang. I'll work hard with you outside."

"Oh, it feels so good to have hope for the future."
