“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.”
