I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

Ye Xingyi wanted to buy Wen Shutang's recipe for making tofu for fifty taels, but Wen Shutang refused. After He Song left, Hu Li, the owner of Zhaixinglou, also came to Wen Shutang to discuss the purchase of the house and asked Wen Shutang to meet with the young master of Zhaixinglou. Wen Shutang proposed to cooperate in profit sharing. She wanted 30% of the profit from the sales of Zhaixinglou. The young master Ning Yuanheng was a little hesitant and said he would think about it first. Wen Shutang said that she could provide him with a few days of supply and try to sell it for a few days. If the effect was not good, she would not cooperate. Ning Yuanheng readily agreed. Wen Shutang planned to leave, and Ning Yuanheng kindly reminded her that Ye Xingyi might do something behind her back and hoped that she would be careful. Ye Xingyi did have evil intentions. He hired someone to smash Wen Shutang's stall and said that she had offended someone she shouldn't have offended, and told her to be tactful and admit her mistake quickly. Ye Xingyi thought that this would scare Wen Shutang, but after waiting for a few days, she still didn't move. Instead, he heard that his mortal enemy Zhaixinglou had launched a new dish, Mapo Tofu. Ye Xingyi then knew that Wen Shutang had cooperated with Zhaixinglou, and he was immediately furious. He originally wanted to rely on tofu to attract more people to his store, but now all the customers went to Zhaixinglou, and his business was depressed and miserable. (Ning Yuanheng tried to sell it for a few days, and the response was really good. He immediately agreed to cooperate with Wen Shutang, but asked her not to sell the recipe to others. Wen Shutang readily agreed.)

Ye Xingyi lost more than he gained, and he resented Wen Shutang and wanted to take revenge on her, but Xiao Yizhuo caught the people who smashed the stall. Those people were spineless, and when they were taken to the yamen, they immediately confessed that Ye Xingyi had instructed them to do it. Ye Xingyi wanted to deny it, but the yamen runners found the indentures of these people in his house. Ye Xingyi was speechless immediately, and after leaving the yamen, Wen Shutang vividly described to the people who were watching the excitement at the door how the stall was smashed, and how Ye Xingyi forced her to sell her house. The people were very angry after hearing these words, and no matter how much Ye Xingyi hated Wen Shutang in his heart, he could no longer show it. Moreover, if something happened to Wen Shutang in the future, the first person everyone would suspect would definitely be him.

The new perfume sold well. Through Song Zhoubai's channels, the perfume has been sold to the capital. They made a lot of money and were ready to move to a new house. Wen Shutang's family bought a yard in the town and started making perfume in the backyard. They also called their eldest and second brothers to help and paid them monthly wages. Then it was time for the New Year and a reunion dinner. On New Year's Eve, Wen Shutang and Xiao Yizhuo exchanged their feelings. Xiao Yizhuo revealed to her the identities of the three children and the specialness of his identity. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the eldest sister-in-law Zhou Tong gave birth to twins, but she almost died during the birth. Wen Shutang spent a lot of money to invite the best doctor to deliver her baby. Zhou Tong was grateful and let go of her grudge against Wen Shutang.

Xiao Wan was sent by Wen Shutang to learn medicine from Xue Ming of Jishidiang. Wen Shutang had taught her some knowledge in advance so she was very adept at learning. Xue Ming also had high hopes for this girl. An old man came to Xiao Wan to get medicine, but a few days later he came to complain that Xiao Wan had deliberately harmed him. He had diarrhea for several days after taking Jishidiang's medicine. After a check-up, it was found that the old man himself had taken something that was incompatible with the medicine, which cleared Xiao Wan's name.

Xiao Ye was old enough, so he started practicing martial arts with Xiao Yizhuo, and Wen Shutang also started exercising himself.

Wen Shutang made a batch of perfumes and it was taken away by the servant sent by Song Zhoubai. As a result, the servant was attacked while transporting the perfumes, and a large number of perfumes were robbed. Song Zhoubai had promised many orders from many families. If this batch of perfumes could not be found, the reputation of the Song family would definitely be damaged. Song Zhoubai found Wen Shutang and asked her if she could make some more quickly. Wen Shutang said that she could do it, but she would definitely not be able to make so many bottles of perfume in a short time. Just when Song Zhoubai was anxious and worried, Wen Shutang gave him an idea and asked him to prepare some ordinary water and transport it out from her house. Those thieves would definitely make another move to destroy the reputation of the Song family. She asked Song Zhoubai to hire some people to ambush in advance and catch the thieves when they appeared. Song Zhoubai did so. After catching the people, he recognized that they were servants of the Lu family. (Mrs. Lu was ridiculed by Mrs. Song for poaching last time. Mr. Lu was originally a rival of the Song family and now he is even more jealous of them for making a lot of money.) However, these servants who had signed a death contract refused to give out the mastermind behind the scenes. In the end, they only found the lost perfume but did not cause any substantial harm to the Lu family. The Lu family also sent people to ridicule Song Zhoubai. Later, the Song family targeted the Lu family in other businesses. The Lu family later apologized to the Song family, but all this had nothing to do with Wen Shutang.

Wen Shutang took her brothers to the town to make perfume, and they made a hundred bottles of perfume in a timely manner. However, Wen Shutang asked Song Zhoubai to tell the public that the perfume was still in the process of transportation on the day of delivery (Wen Shutang asked the servant to go to Da'an Village and prepare a carriage from her home. In the carriage, there were actually thugs prepared by Song Zhoubai in advance. When the thieves came to rob again, the thugs jumped out and caught the thieves. Wen Shutang concluded that these people must be trying to damage the reputation of the Song family, so when they saw the new perfume being transported, they would definitely come to rob again. At the same time, Song Zhoubai could not deliver the goods, and the people behind these people would definitely come back to watch the show. Whoever came to watch the fun at that time would be the mastermind.)

Song Zhoubai's delay caused everyone's dissatisfaction. When everyone was excited, the Lu family came to watch the fun and mocked Song Zhoubai, saying that he dared to sell when he had no goods, which was simply deceiving everyone. He said a lot of righteous words, making everyone more and more angry. By the time the atmosphere reached the most tense, Wen Shutang had already sent someone to put the perfume in the backyard of the spice shop.

Song Zhoubai asked someone to put the perfume on the shelf and start selling it. When the Lu family saw that Song Zhoubai really took out the perfume, they were shocked. Song Zhoubai walked up to him and whispered something.

"To be honest with Uncle Lu, I caught a group of thieves who stole things. I wonder who these people are related to?"

The people of the Lu family fled immediately, and the problem was solved.

After the family finished their work, they returned to Da'an Village from the town. Wen Ruizhou returned home to find his parents lying on the ground, and his wife was nowhere to be seen. He was immediately anxious and confused. At the same time, Wen Shutang found that his house had been searched thoroughly by others, and there was a letter left on the table in the room, which read:

"I have tied up your sister-in-law. If you want her to live, you bitch, bring a hundred taels of silver and come to the cave in the back mountain to find me. If there is another person or if you dare to report to the police, I will kill your sister-in-law!"
