“Besides, when you’re doing business, you’ve to be tough. If you simply keep being benevolent to others, will others be benevolent to you?”

“Uncle Chang, I don’t mean to speak ill of Chef Zhang, but facts are right before our eyes. You call him brother-in-law out of respect and always consider his feelings. You even consult him in times of trouble, but has he ever thought about you?”

“He unilaterally decided not to use our tofu without saying a word and showed no remorse towards you. This isn’t about money; it’s about the disrespect towards you – a slap in your face. The people at Fushun Tower are just laughing at your expense.”

“This is the result of your benevolence, Uncle Chang. As for Chef Zhang, he doesn’t care about you at all. I’ve seen him going about his business as usual these past two days. He’s even trying to help that damn girl sell salted duck eggs. This is the payback for your benevolence.”

“In my opinion, we shouldn’t think too much. We just need to do what we have to do: block the routes of others and cut off any connections. Only by blocking others’ paths can we have our own path, right? If we keep being benevolent to others, we will have nowhere to go.”

Li Fang pleaded earnestly, “Uncle Chang, at this point, you mustn’t show tender kindness; stop considering others.”

“You do make some sense…”

But carrying out this deed was really a bit too much…

While Chang Yuanda was hesitating, two middle-aged women carrying bamboo baskets walked by them.

“Hey, what are you cooking for lunch? I have no idea what to cook every day. My husband complains that my dishes lack variety and he’s fed up.”

“For lunch, fry some tofu slices, cut them into strips and mix them. It’s hot these days, so a cold dish is good to go with the meal.”

“Alright, I’ll also make tofu strips and stir fry some celery. That should be enough. Let’s go to Chang’s tofu shop to buy some tofu.”

“Why go there? I know a place, it’s a new tofu stall on the street and their tofu tastes really good. If you make tofu strips with their tofu, 1 guarantee your husband will praise your culinary skills. Believe me, always choose tofu from those two girls’ stall – Chang’s tofu is inedible…”

Chang’s tofu, totally inedible!

These words echoed in Chang Yuanda’s ears, like a heavy hammer pounding on his heart, causing a twinge of pain.

His Chang’s tofu was once on everyone’s lips and was widely praised. People always came to his shop for tofu and said others’ tofu was inedible. How did it turn into ‘Chang’s Tofu is totally inedible’?

Chang Yuanda clenched his fist tightly.

It seemed that Li Fang was right. He had to cut off the root to enable Chang’s tofu shop to survive.

Otherwise, if he kept being benevolent to others, he’d end up with nowhere to go-

“You’re right,” Chang Yuanda agreed with Li Fang’s words and just nodded, “We should do as you suggest.”

“Exactly,” Li Fang frowned, “We must act this way, sooner rather than later, otherwise Chang’s tofu shop won’t survive.”

“We cannot delay, let’s find the people we need, do what we have to do – the sooner, the better. Every day we delay, Chang’s tofu shop is in more danger.” “That’s true, brother Li, please find someone for me quickly,” Chang Yuanda said, “You need to take care of this for me, Chang’s tofu shop is all relying on you now.”

“Just leave it to me. I promise 1’11 handle everything beautifully for you,” Li Fang readily agreed, he could hardly suppress a smile.

Since being fired from Fushun Tower, Li Fang immediately started looking for work in town.

He was a waiter before and naturally, he wanted an easy job, that he was comfortable with. After spending two days walking around the town, visiting big and small restaurants and eating houses, he found no suitable employment. The wages were low, the workload was heavy, and everyone kept asking questions about why he was fired by Fushun Tower. He got annoyed, decided those restaurants were not up to standard, and their business was poor.

Frustrated, Li Fang saw Zhuang Qingning’s tofu stall getting more and more popular. His heart was filled with indignation and bitterness. He decided Zhuang Qingning was the one who destroyed his chances of a livelihood.

The sins he suffered should be tasted by that damned girl, Zhuang Qingning. Everyone must understand, no one can be that arrogant.

Of course, the one who kicked him out, Zhang Yongchang, and the accomplice Feng Yongkang wouldn’t get away with it either.

Every debt of gratitude would be returned bit by bit!

So after contemplation, Li Fang went straight to Chang’s tofu shop and sought Chang Yuanda and then started sobbing.

He cried about how he had been looking out for Chang’s tofu shop and secretly warned him of someone’s business encroachment, how he suppressed rumors of better tofu outside, and then how he annoyed Chef Zhang and was driven away because of that.

His current predicament and words quickly won Chang Yuanda’s trust, and the ongoing whispering in his ear these days had gradually ignited his rage, successfully arousing his wrath.

Finally today, using some petty tricks, Chang Yuanda determined to teach that damn girl a lesson.

It seems his goal will soon be achieved, and he will soon see the two damn girls following his path.

Thinking about it, Li Fang felt increasingly pleased; he simply couldn’t wait to arrange the manpower that would soon be needed.

While at this time, Chang Yuanda scratched his nose.

People needed a lesson, and those who deserved to be cut off should be expelled.

In any case, he just had to pay the silver.

If he could clear the stones on the road, and his tofu shop would have an unobstructed way in the future, it would be the best.

But if some accident happened…

He just had to pay the silver.

After Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui sold the tofu and bought some necessary stuff, they went home.

Upon arriving home, they did not even take the time to eat lunch, they straightaway went to find Zhuang Yonghe and Mrs. Xu and talked about the duck egg purchasing operation.

Collecting beans is one thing, and collecting duck eggs is another. While not every household grows beans, because of the many ponds around here and the river nearby, many people raise ducks, making duck eggs easier to collect..
