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 127 Give Xiaowu a Chicken Leg (More Updates if 55 monthly tickets are received)

Probably because she cried too much in the past two days, Zhang Qiuyue's eyes were still swollen like apricots, and her eye circles were red, but when she saw the Zhuang Qingning sisters, she forced a smile and said, "Sister Ning, Sister Sui."

"I'll go make you two a pot of tea."

"Stop busying yourself, I'll come and see my uncle." Zhuang Qingning hurriedly stopped Zhang Qiuyue.

Life at home will be difficult for some time from now on, so it’s better to save this tea for making tea for the important people.

"Which room is uncle in?"

"You're in the east room. Come with me." Zhang Qiuying said, and told Zhang Qiuyue to tidy up the dishes first and consider what to cook later, and then led Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui into the house.

The room was a little dark. Zhang Xiangrong was lying on the bed at the moment. Hearing the noise, he struggled to get up from the bed.

"Dad, didn't the doctor tell you not to move?" Zhang Qiuying saw this and hurried over to support Zhang Xiangrong: "You have to lie in bed for a while. If the bones are dislocated, it will be even worse in the future."

"Dad, Sister Ning is here to see you. It's Sister Ning and Sister Sui who run the tofu stall in town that Grandmother mentioned before."

"Uncle Rong." Zhuang Qingning put the snacks aside and said, "I heard something happened at home. I was worried, so I came to take a look. Don't worry about your leg injury. Just take care of it for now. You don't have to worry about Qiuying selling donkey rolls in town. I can help take care of her."

"I've heard my mother often mention you two before, saying that you are capable and clever. This time I finally got to see you." Zhang Xiangrong grinned and said, "Qiuying has been saying these past few days that it's thanks to you for helping her. I'm also very grateful in my heart, but I encountered this and I really can't go to you to thank you."

"Uncle Rong, what you said is very distant. When Qingsui and I first set up a stall in the town, aunt-in-law helped us a lot. Now it's time for us to help back..." Zhuang Qingning said.

As they were talking, footsteps were heard outside, and Zhang Qiuyue's voice rang out outside: "Mom, Grandma, you are back."

"Sister Ning and Sister Sui are here. They said they came to see Dad. They are now in the house."

As soon as the words fell, Liu and Cao came in from outside, their faces full of sorrow. Because Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui were there, they forced a smile: "Ning girl, Sui girl, you two are here."

"Well, let's go see how uncle is doing." Zhuang Qingning stood up and asked, "I heard from Qiuying that today my aunt and uncle went with the head of the village to look for the master's family. What did they say in the end? Was there any result?"

"Why……"

Liu sighed, and Cao began to wipe her tears.

"The master still refuses to pay?" The light in Zhang Xiangrong's eyes dimmed.

"Originally, I didn't want to give them a penny. I even said something like, their house is in great condition, but because of this incident during the construction, it has been tainted with bad luck. They are really unlucky... Anyway, I just said a lot of unpleasant things."

Liu sighed, "In the end, the village head came forward and talked a lot, using both coaxing and intimidation, and in the end the owner was only willing to give two taels of silver, which he gave out of pity for our family."

Two taels of silver?

Zhang Qiuying's eyes suddenly turned red: "I've spent a lot of money on seeing doctors for Dad these few days, including consultation fees and medicine fees..."

Adding the cost of medicine in the future, how can these two taels of silver be enough? "Don't we still have the money from selling the two acres of land? It will be enough for a while." Zhang Xiangrong comforted him, "It's just a broken leg. I will take care of it for a month or so. Even if I can't work as a big worker in the future, I can do small work for others. I can also earn hard-earned money. At least I can make a living."

"I didn't tell you about this before. When you saw the doctor, he only said that your injury was serious. If you offered five taels of silver in exchange for a piece of cloth, he wouldn't even see you. At that time, we didn't have any money, so we wanted to see you first. We were in a hurry to sell the land, so naturally we couldn't get a high price."

Liu sighed and said, "Now that the money from selling the land has been spent, we still owe three or four taels of silver. Even if the money we get back is enough to fill some of the gaps, it's still not enough."

Not to mention that I have lost my two acres of land and cannot go out to work, and I will not have food and drink in the future.

Liu's face was haggard and full of sorrow. She looked several years older.

"I am an unfilial son and I have made you worry." Zhang Xiangrong said, "But don't worry, mother. I will take a month or so of rest and then find a job to pay off the money I owe you."

"Yes, mother, although I can't go with them to do odd jobs, I am strong enough to earn some money by washing clothes for others. Isn't the wheat harvest coming soon? Then I can follow them to help others harvest wheat and earn some money."

Cao wiped away her tears and whispered, "Qiuying can work now. She goes to the town every day to sell donkey rolls. I don't know how much she earns, but she can earn enough for food."

"If it really doesn't work out, I'll go back to my parents' home and see if I can borrow some money to pay off the most important debts. In short, we need to tighten our belts and get through this difficult time first."

"That's what happened. Let's think of some solutions. Don't worry too much, mom..." Zhang Xiangrong also said.

Zhuang Qingning took a general look at the expressions and behavior of the family from the side.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

When encountering problems, they don't cry or complain, nor do they blame each other or regret anything. Instead, they think about how to make money and move forward. This positive attitude is excellent and quite rare.

Moreover, from the family's words and actions, one can see the family's unity, mutual understanding, and respect and filial piety towards Liu.

People like this have good character, and if they are used to do work, they should be good too.

Speaking of which, last time Ge Hetong came to her with the intention of selling tofu, but Mouzhiwu didn't react at all. This time, when the Liu family encountered such a thing, Mouzhiwu issued a mission to help them in time of need.

So, I also know that this person is trustworthy?

[Didn’t I say that I am a high-quality system? I will consider everything very carefully for the host. I will never give the host any worries because of the tasks I issue. The host can just do the tasks without any worries! ]

Although he was still bragging as usual, up to now Zhuang Qingning felt that the tasks issued by Xiaowu were indeed very good and would not have any mistakes.

Not bad, you can consider adding a chicken drumstick.

Zhuang Qingning was generous with his praise.

[The system cannot eat chicken legs, but having the host's recognition is the system's greatest honor. Please work hard to complete the task! ]

I will only update once today. When the author is in better health, I will update more~
