Chapter 108 is not easy (more chapters for every 10 monthly tickets, the ninth chapter)

Now that I can pay the rent on time, I can avoid a lot of trouble.

But speaking of the rent, the 150 coins he asked for at the beginning was not a lot, but not a small amount either. At least he did not show any favor to Zhuang Qingning. It was not a very small amount either, and an ordinary family would have to save up for a while.

How long has Zhuang Qingning been setting up a daughter household? Just over a month, maybe? And he got it easily?

After all, the fact that she could simply pay a whole year's rent showed that she was quite well-off.

How much money did Zhuang Qingning make from grinding tofu? Just as Zhuang Jingye was wondering, Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "Since we have agreed before, we must do as agreed. However, I have to tell you in advance that this money is my advance payment. If you don't live here for a full year, I will have to return the money for the months that are not paid."

"That's fine."

Zhuang Jingye agreed very readily.

The money was paid for one year. If one did not live for a full year, the money would naturally have to be refunded. Zhuang Jingye did not think there was any problem with that.

only……

"Not living there for less than a year? What does that mean?" Zhuang Jingye was quite surprised.

Zhuang Qingning is going to move away from here in the future? "I have made some money from selling tofu recently, plus some money I borrowed, so I want to build two rooms and a small courtyard. After all, I will have my own house, and I will feel more at ease."

Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "Living in Hua the butcher's house is fine for a while, but it's not a long-term solution. If his family comes to take back the house, Qingsui and I will have nowhere to go. So after thinking it over, I decided to hold on tight and build two houses so that we can settle down first."

"This is the second reason why I came to you, Uncle Village Chief. Please help me find a place where we can build a house. We should start as soon as possible and try to move in before autumn."

Build the house early so that it can be exposed to the sun in the summer to drive away the moisture, and it won’t be damp and cold when you live in it in the winter.

As for the money for building the house, Zhuang Qingning did not explain in detail where the dozen taels of silver came from. She just said that it was borrowed, so as to avoid people thinking that the money came too easily and she had other intentions.

"Well, that's very thoughtful." Zhuang Jingye nodded. He felt that Zhuang Qingning was thinking long-term. He was not the kind of person who lived day by day. He was very far-sighted and could see far.

What a pity, she is a girl.

However, since Zhuang Qingning wanted to build a house and he said he had borrowed some money, he understood the logic. The money was not borrowed for nothing and it had to be repaid. If you don't have the ability to repay the money in the future, others would not dare to lend you money easily. Also, you had to have some savings in your hand before you dared to build a house.

All in all, Zhuang Qingning must have made a lot of money from his tofu business.

It has only been a short time. If this continues...

Could it be that, as Ye said, Zhuang Qingning could really become something great in the future? Zhuang Jingye scanned Zhuang Qingning's body back and forth.

"Uncle Village Head, is this matter extremely difficult to handle?" Zhuang Qingning was a little surprised to be looked at by Zhuang Jingye like this.

"That's not the case. I'm just thinking about where to go." Zhuang Jingye lowered his eyelids. "I'll have to wait for two days for this matter. I'll take a good look at it."

"How about this, I'll help you out. If I see a suitable place, I'll tell you about it. You can look around yourself. If you see a place you like, come and tell me about it. As long as it doesn't occupy other people's land, it's usually fine."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Uncle Lizheng."

"That's polite." Zhuang Jingye smiled and said, "We are from the same village, and I am the head of the village, so this is what I should do."

Since there's no telling whether it will work out in the future, Zhuang Jingye is willing to be kind to her now.

What's more, Zhuang Qingning is not someone you can easily mess with. She is talking to you in a friendly manner now, but if you make her angry due to a disagreement, she will pick up a kitchen knife and hang a dead rat on your door. He really can't stand it.

Zhuang Jingye felt that it was a good idea to appease the troublemaker and pave the way for the future, and to be able to attack or defend.

The two talked for a while, and then Zhuang Qingning said goodbye and left. Before leaving, she asked Zhuang Jingye to come to her house for tea when he had time.

"Okay, I'll go when I have time." Zhuang Jingye agreed with a smile, watched Zhuang Qingning walk away, then returned to the yard with his hands behind his back.

"The boss is very nice today." Ye prepared a pot of tea and added a cup for Zhuang Jingye.

"Rare? What's rare about it?" Zhuang Jingye sat down, picked up the tea and took a sip.

"She's rare everywhere." Ye blinked her eyes. "The head of the family used to look down on Miss Ning, but I see that the head of the family is very polite to Miss Ning today."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Do you think, like me, that this Ning girl will be able to accomplish something in the future?"

"Successful? What can she accomplish? She's just a little girl. No matter how powerful she is, how can she be of any use?" Zhuang Jingye glanced at Ye: "I just think she's a bit of a prick. If I'm not a bit more friendly, who knows what she'll do. It's better not to provoke such a person. Whatever she says is what counts."

"I am doing this for the sake of the stability of the entire village. I am not like the fence-sitter you said. I will just go after whoever has some ability and capability."

"Yes, yes, what the boss said is right."

Ye knew Zhuang Jingye best and knew that he was just being stubborn and refused to admit it, so she stopped talking about it and just busied herself packing clothes and putting them in a wooden basin, preparing to go to the well to wash clothes in the evening.

Zhuang Jingye narrowed his eyes and yawned, "By the way, everyone says that the tofu from Ning Yatou's tofu shop is also very delicious. Let's go buy some in the afternoon and fry some tofu to eat in the evening."

Previously, Zhuang Jingye looked down on Zhuang Qingning. Even though Ye had been thinking about the tofu that everyone else said was delicious, she had never dared to buy tofu from Zhuang Qingning's house on her own initiative. Now, when she heard Zhuang Jingye say he wanted to buy tofu, she was delighted, thinking that she could finally taste how delicious the tofu that everyone said was delicious was.

"This is not going to be easy." Ye pursed her lips.

"Why?"

"The tofu from Ning's family is sold in the early morning and shipped to the town. Only Zhuang Yonghe and his wife can take some out from the tofu shop to sell, but there are not many in total. They are all sold out by noon. If you go too late, you won't be able to buy any, let alone in the afternoon."

I'll stop here in the morning, and see how many words I can write in the afternoon or evening~ 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
