The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.

Chapter 100 Fence-Sitter (First Order, 1st Update)

"Then you guys chat, I'll go pick the chives." Zhang Qiuying went to see Liu: "Grandma, for lunch later, I'll make fried chives and eggs, and a pancake."

After all, there are guests at home and I can't offer meat to entertain them, so there must be eggs in this dish.

"Okay, just watch and do it." Liu said with a smile, watching her granddaughter go out.

Then he smiled and said to Zhuang Qingning: "The eldest daughter of the old family is not very old, but she is smart and as sensible as you two."

I also praised the two sisters.

Zhuang Qingning smiled and asked with concern: "How is your health, Auntie? Have you taken any medicine or seen a doctor?"

"I've seen a doctor, and it's not a serious illness. I just caught a cold and was tired. I should take two doses of Chinese medicine and rest for two days. But I'm old and not strong. I need to lie down for two more days to get rid of the root of the problem, otherwise the disease will accumulate and turn into a serious illness in the future."

"How about you? How's your tofu business these days?"

After asking the question, Liu patted the back of her hand and laughed, "Look at what I'm asking. How can your tofu business be bad? It can only be getting better and better. The amount of tofu you grind has increased in the past two days. Are you still able to handle it?"

"good……"

Zhuang Qingning told Liu about what happened in the county, including the fact that the tofu shop hired two people.

"This is a good thing." Liu smiled from ear to ear: "Look at what I said, your days of making money are in the future, isn't it coming true now?"

"By the way, speaking of selling tofu, I remembered something. In the past two days, did the old man Ge who sells pea yellow come to you and tell you that he wanted to sell tofu?"

Zhuang Qingning blinked her eyes and smiled in surprise, "Auntie, are you good at fortune-telling? To be honest, Mr. Ge really came to see me today, smiling very happily, and he wanted to take some tofu from me and sell it in the streets."

"This old man is really shameless. A few days ago, you guys left early after buying tofu, and then old man Ge came to talk to me. He kept talking about your tofu stall. He kept saying that the tofu business was booming, but it was a pity that no one patronized him. I guessed that old man Ge was thinking about selling tofu, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

Liu's face was immediately filled with displeasure: "Ning girl, I'm telling you, you must not agree to let him go. Earlier, this old man Ge gave up his stall and went to a stall a little further away. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

Zhuang Qingning never knew the reason for this and was a little curious at one point.

"I didn't know at first, I just thought he had something to worry about or something he couldn't tell, so I didn't ask. Later I found out that he thought your tofu stall business would get better and better in the future, and he would definitely offend someone, and someone would definitely come to pick a fight with you."

"He'd better hide away as soon as possible, so that if someone picks on you, it won't affect his pea yellow stall. Listen, is this what a human being would say? Is this what a human being would do?"

"Now that he sees that your tofu stall is doing well, he comes over eagerly hoping to borrow your stall to make some money. Are you letting him take all the benefits?"

"People like this who sit on the fence and try to take advantage of others are the first to run away when something happens. They are the most unreliable. Listen to me, little girl Ning. Don't ever get involved with such people."

"Don't worry, Auntie. I had originally entrusted the tofu business to my reliable uncle and aunt at home, and I didn't intend to hand it over to anyone else, so I refused."

Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "Seeing that I didn't agree, Mr. Ge left quietly. I guess he won't come to talk to me about this matter in the future."

"It's best not to come, so as to avoid wasting your saliva by talking to such a person."

Liu was still indignant, and even spat, saying, "He was the one who asked for this, so it's normal for him to refuse. He is so arrogant that he doesn't even think about himself and whether he deserves others to be kind to him."

"Don't pay any attention to this kind of person from now on, and let him know who he is!"

What Liu hated most was fence-sitters. And now Ge Hetong was again eyeing Zhuang Qingning, whom she had adopted as her granddaughter. She felt very uncomfortable and talked a lot until Zhuang Qingning changed the subject.

The three people talked in the room for a long time.

They talked about things in town and at home, until it was almost time, Zhuang Qingning stood up, said goodbye and prepared to go home.

Zhang Qiuying came into the house at this time and said that lunch was ready.

"Have lunch before leaving." Liu asked to keep him.

Although there is nothing good to entertain at home.

"Qingsui and I have just had dinner in town. It's getting late now. We have to go back quickly and have a good sleep in the afternoon." Zhuang Qingning replied.

I grind tofu at night and go to town to sell it in the morning. The only time I can get a good night's sleep is in the afternoon when it's dark.

Thinking of this, Liu didn't try to persuade them to stay, but only reminded the two of them to be careful on the road.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Before leaving, he even asked Zhang Qiuying to bring a bundle of green vegetables, such as garlic sprouts, leeks, etc. grown at home to Zhuang Qingning.

"You two are busy all day long and I'm afraid you don't have time to grow vegetables. You can take them back and cook them, so you don't have to buy them." Liu said.

There was no shortage of vegetables at home, but since Liu said so, Zhuang Qingning couldn't refuse. She was also afraid that if she didn't accept them, they would think she was disliking the inferior things, so she accepted them one by one.

"I have picked the leeks and garlic sprouts, you just need to wash them when you get home." Zhang Qiuying said.

"Okay, thank you Qiuying." Zhuang Qingning felt more and more fond of this sensible and attentive girl.

Zhang Qiuying accompanied Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui all the way to the village entrance. It was not until Zhuang Qingning repeatedly urged her to go back and look after Liu at home that she went home, looking back every few steps.

Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui went home.

I took a nap in the afternoon and went to the tofu shop after dark to start a new busy night.

The next morning, Dong Dazhu came first to deliver the tofu as usual.

When he came, his face was full of smiles: "Miss Zhuang, I want 240 kilograms of tofu today. Please weigh it for me."

The smile on Zhuang Qingning's face faded immediately. "Brother Dong, it's not that my tofu is so expensive that I won't sell it even if you pay for it. It's just that as you can see, my tofu shop is not very big. There are only two tofu pots in total. I can't make too much tofu in one night. I can't tell you exactly how much tofu each place needs every day, but I have a rough idea in my mind."

It's on the shelves~ Subscriptions, monthly tickets, rewards, all of them are thrown to the author, don't be polite~   In the new year, I wish all the little cuties a happy New Year's Day, happy every day, and a lot of money~      (End of this chapter)
