Chapter 881: Chapter 192: Make a Fortune by Selling the Prescription_2

"Cabbages are bought, and naturally, the recipe is bought too!" Boss Wu chuckled with a sly smile.

Pei Qian gnashed her teeth in anger and furiously contemplated giving him a beating, but ultimately restrained herself and turned back.

The recipe for spicy cabbage was known only to the Fang family and the Feng family. Since Pei Qian married Fang Liuming, she brought the spicy cabbage with her. They were to be married in just two months, and since Fang Li was not at home, it couldn’t have been someone from the Fang family.

The only possibility left was the Feng family! Fang Hui resented them, and the Feng family’s resentment was incessant, jealous of their success. The more Pei Qian made spicy cabbage and radish, the more they saw her earning and wanted to sabotage her secretly!

On the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, Fang Hui, for Feng Chun, chose a family whose financial situation was good and who also was in business with a house in Yuanyang County. Hence, she demanded at least a house in Yuanyang County for Feng Chun.

With their family’s remaining few savings taken away by Pei Qin during the smashed jade cabbage incident, where would they find the money for a house in Yuanyang County? They had no money for distant places either; the noodle house was making money, but it wasn’t much and couldn’t be entirely invested in this.

Fang Hui started to think of solutions.

Pei Qin expanded the workshop — such a place couldn’t possibly be for building a sweet potato flour workshop.

From the full-month celebration banquet for Pei Yuan, Fang Hui knew that Pei Qin, though she hadn’t verbally refused, would not allow them to open a sweet potato flour workshop. With a burst of anger, the idea formed.

An expansion of the workshop surely meant producing more spicy cabbage and radish, and their family couldn’t make much this year; they wouldn’t earn this income in the future, and Fang Hui truly couldn’t stand it anymore. Even if they stopped producing in the future, she’d still make a fortune from it and prevent them from succeeding!

It was they who had willingly taught her at first, so she couldn’t be blamed for selling the recipe!

Pei Qian returned and said a word to Pei Qin, then took people to the Feng Family Estate, "...how much it sold for, that Mr. Wu wouldn’t say, but I’ll force it out from the Feng family’s people, I’ll get the silver back!"

Seeing her aggressiveness, Pei Qin turned back, retrieved the debenture signed by Fang Hui and Feng Shouxing, and threw it at her, "If it gets ruined, it’s on me!"

Empowered by her strong support, Pei Qian got even bolder and immediately led people to the Feng Family Estate. Upon entering, they demanded the remaining three hundred taels of silver.

Fang Hui was also making spicy cabbage at home; whatever little she could scrape together was worth it — whether for their own use, to give away, or use in the noodle house. When Pei Qian came demanding money, Fang Hui’s eyes flickered, "Our family is as poor as a church mouse. The noodle house has just started up and hasn’t made any money yet. You storm in here demanding three hundred taels of silver as if you’re out to devour me!"

"Poor as a church mouse? What about the money from selling the spicy cabbage recipe!?" Pei Qian questioned.

Fang Hui feigned ignorance, "What money from the spicy cabbage? We didn’t manage to make any last year, and this year we only have a few pots, just for our own use. We haven’t sold any!" saying this, she even gave her a contemptuous look.

Pei Qian hummed in anger, "Don’t pretend to be dumb with me; it’s useless! If you don’t hand over the silver obediently, I’ll help you do it!" she ordered the people who followed her, "Smash it!"

The crowd didn’t hesitate and began smashing things inside and outside the house.

Seeing she couldn’t stop them, Fang Hui sat down on the ground and began to wail and scream, "Is my niece trying to beat and kill her own aunt! Go ahead, smash it! You might as well destroy everything in my house! Tear the house apart if you can; our family of over ten, young and old, will have nowhere to live. We’ll just move into your house!"

As she wailed, it being the slack season, people gathered around in groups.

Seeing Fang Hui sitting in the yard crying, and Pei Qian standing with a somber face, while a few were smashing things inside and outside, everyone was surprised and incredulous, "Isn’t that the Pei family’s daughter, the one engaged to the official from the Fang family? Why is she here smashing her aunt’s house!?"

The crowd was also puzzled, wondering if the relationship with her maternal family had deteriorated so badly. Hadn’t she still taught them to open a noodle house? It was said to be doing so well, making a lot of money!

As more people arrived, Fang Hui cried even harder, squeezing out quite a few tears, "I can’t live on! I can’t survive! My niece is actually running over here to kill someone! I can’t live this life anymore! We are all flesh and blood, and without a bit of silver to pay up, you resort to beating and killing, smashing our house, how are we supposed to live?!"

The people outside pointed and whispered, and yet none dared to step forward.

A few daring ones came in from a distance to advise, "You’re all relatives; talk things over nicely! Don’t get physical, everything can be discussed!"

This time, Fang Hui was not afraid of their smashing; she didn’t have the silver at home anyway, let this despicable girl turn everything upside down, she wouldn’t find it, so she just sat on the ground and cried!

With one speaking out, more came forward to persuade.

Pei Qian was almost laughed into anger, "Crying and causing a scene as if you’ve carted off our spicy cabbage, forcibly splitting our spicy cabbage business, wanting to monopolize it and not letting us do it anymore. Seeing it won’t work, you then forced us to teach you to open a noodle house and make sesame paste pancakes. You never taught your family to open a sweet potato flour workshop, always causing trouble and tarnishing our siblings’ reputations! And you even sold the spicy cabbage recipe, wanting to make a big profit and prevent us from succeeding? Not while I’m around!"

Listening to this, everyone glanced at each other with doubtful expressions, looking towards Fang Hui. No wonder Pei Qin and her siblings stopped visiting relatives and only sent a steward to deliver festival gifts. It had actually escalated to this extent!?

"You little wretch, pushing all the blame onto me?! Acting as if others don’t know the truth, then you can just spout nonsense and slander us, right!?" Fang Hui glared furiously.

Pei Qian scoffed coldly, "Not know the truth? How many people don’t know about you deliberately smashing our jade cabbage!?"

Fang Hui was extremely furious, "I can’t live on! Go ahead and squeeze, kill your aunt! Kill me! Go ahead!" she wailed and screamed, throwing herself at Pei Qian, yelling for Pei Qian to hit her, but staring at her fair face, she stretching out her fingers with broken nails, and clawed fiercely at her.
