Chapter 281 Still have the nerve?

"Ning girl, I really have no other choice. If my family could get by, I wouldn't have thought of such a despicable method... Consider it as your aunt begging you, please forgive me this time, please."

"Stealing my stew and selling it to others is a mistake. If you make a mistake, you have to bear the consequences."

Zhuang Qingning said, "Since Aunt Qian has worked in the tofu shop for such a long time, I won't ask her anything extra. The head uncle is outside, and he heard everything I said. He will take you to see County Magistrate Ding later to investigate the whole matter. Let's do what the law says."

"Just don't come to work for me anymore."

After hearing this, Qian turned even paler. She knelt down and took a few steps, then grabbed Zhuang Qingning's calf and said, "Ning girl, Ning girl, please, please forgive me this time. I really have no other options this time."

"Please forgive me this time because I worked so hard in the tofu shop in the past."

"Look, your tofu shop is not only making a fortune every day, but the business is booming. It doesn't matter if others make a little money from you. My family is in this situation now. How about you pity me?"

"I heard before that you treated the mother and daughter who ran your shop in town very well because you felt sorry for them. Since you can treat others well out of pity, please forgive me this time out of pity for me..."

Zhuang Qingning's expression gradually turned cold, and he struggled to free his legs from Qian's restraints.

"Aunt Qian used to work very hard, but I also paid more than other places, so this should be considered a balance."

"As for what you said about my tofu shop doing a booming business, it is true, but this is my business, what does it have to do with you? Do you think that just because other people's families are wealthy, they have to take good care of you?"

"Then there's the issue of me being nice to others. This is my own business. I can be nice to whoever I want to be nice to. Does that mean I have to be nice to you just because I'm nice to others?"

"As I said before, if you make a mistake you have to take responsibility for it. It's best not to tell me about your rebuttal. Save it for the county magistrate." Zhuang Qingning spoke coldly and strode out of the tofu shop.

Zhuang Mingliang hurriedly followed.

Zhuang Jingye walked in with a gloomy face, pointed at Qian and started to curse, "It's really a rat shit that spoils the whole barrel. Ning's tofu shop treats you so well on weekdays and helps our village make so much money, but you are so bad, eating at the expense of the outsiders, helping outsiders make money and destroying the livelihood of your own village. You still have the nerve to beg Ning?"

"It's just that Ning girl has a good heart. If it were me, I would have slapped you in the face by now. You are just a woman. If you were a man, I would have broken your legs!"

"You are so short-sighted. You only care about your family's farmland right now. You didn't even think about how you will be able to stay in the village in the future after doing such a thing. Aren't you afraid that your whole family will be drowned in spit? As for your daughters and sons, will they be able to get married and find wives in the future? Your whole family will be embarrassed by you!"

After hearing Zhuang Qingning's words and Zhuang Jingye's scolding, Qian suddenly collapsed to the ground and burst into tears in regret.

Zhuang Qingning walked out of the tofu shop.

"Sister Ning." Zhuang Mingliang caught up and whispered, "Sister Ning, don't be so angry..."

"When something like this happens, I'm always a little unhappy. After all, I think I treat everyone well, but in the end, something like this happened. But it's not worth it to be angry."

Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "I see so many people every day and get along with so many people. I will always meet some people who know their faces but not their hearts. It's not uncommon. Don't worry, I won't take it to heart."

"Come to think of it, how is the yuba workshop going these days? How is Sister Zhou doing? Have you learned anything?"

"The yuba workshop and Sister Ning are both very skilled. I saw Sister Zhou was a little unfamiliar at first, but she learned very quickly. Among these people, only Sister Zhou works the fastest and best, and she also knows how to take care of others."

Zhuang Mingliang said, "Didn't Sister Ning ask me to look after the tofu skin workshop and see who is suitable to manage it in the future? I think Sister Zhou is a good person, hardworking, capable, and dedicated. What do you think, Sister Ning?"

Zhuang Qingning nodded slightly.

She has not been to the tofu skin workshop very often in the past few days, but she can see that Zhou Daya is indeed very hardworking and responsible. If she is trained, she can manage this tofu skin workshop.

It was really unexpected that the task assigned by Xiaowu that was completed earlier would actually bring so many benefits and even solve the troubles of employing people.

[That’s right, I’m a high-quality system…]

Stop, I don't know whether you are of high quality or not. I know that when a certain system assigned a task before, it only gave me the upper half of a recipe. Now the lower half is nowhere in sight, and I have no idea when I can find it.

[Ahem, good things are never too late. Host, don’t be impatient. There is still a long way to go…]

There was no sound in my mind at once. It was obvious that the creature had escaped again.

When it's time to take credit, they rush out; when they can't answer a question, they run away.

Oh, the system...

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After talking with Zhuang Mingliang for a while about the management of the tofu skin workshop, Zhuang Qingning went back home, ready to check on Zhuang Qingsui and Snowball who were at home to see how the two little guys were playing at home.

"Excuse me, young lady..."

As soon as she stepped into the door of her house, Zhuang Qingning heard a voice behind her. She turned around and saw an elderly man standing in front of her.

Looking at the old man in his satin gown, his overall temperament was also very outstanding. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary farmer. However, he must have walked for a long time and was out of breath. His forehead was covered with sweat mixed with some dirt, making him look quite embarrassed.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the easy task. The host will receive a generous reward after completing the task. Please cheer up. ]

It would be a simple task, so I guess I could just help this old man who seems lost.

It's no big deal.

"I don't know who you are, but I would like to ask for directions?" Zhuang Qingning asked politely.

Seeing Zhuang Qingning so polite and dignified, and seeing his embarrassment at a glance, Fan Wenxuan was immediately delighted and said, "Young lady, you are wise. My surname is Fan, and I used to be a teacher. I wanted to go out for a stroll today, but I didn't expect to get lost when I passed by here. I couldn't find the way back for a while, and I have been walking for a long time. I am very thirsty now. I wonder if I can ask for a bowl of water to drink, take a rest, and then ask you how to get there."
