The Eldest Sister Who Struck It Rich

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 296 Hope

Seeing Chu Jinzhou agreed straightforwardly, Fan Wenxuan showed a smile on his face.

Step by step, very good, very good. —— "Sister Ning."

Zhuang Qingning, who was watching others pickle preserved eggs in the workshop and correcting any mistakes he saw, raised his head when he heard the noise and saw Zhuang Wencheng running towards him excitedly.

Sweating profusely.

"Brother Wencheng?" Zhuang Qingning was quite surprised. "When did you come back?"

"I came back last night." Zhuang Wencheng grinned and said, "I heard that Uncle Yonghe is helping you collect the herbs. Should I go directly to Uncle Yonghe's house to start working?"

Logically speaking, this is the case.

only……

Zhuang Qingning told the others to continue their work, and he pulled Zhuang Wencheng aside, "Auntie, have you explained everything clearly?"

Zhuang Qingning knew Wang's temper. If she knew that Zhuang Wencheng was kicked out of the pharmacy, she would probably cause trouble again.

Although Zhuang Qingning was not afraid, she could not confront him too hard for the sake of Zhuang Wencheng.

This kind of balancing between one's own interests and the friendship with childhood friends is the most headache-inducing thing for Zhuang Qingning.

"It's clear."

Zhuang Wencheng straightened his back and smiled, "I got home yesterday afternoon and had a tantrum. I said that studying medicine is too hard. I don't eat well, I don't live well, and I have to cater to others. My master scolds me all the time. I have to do all the hard work in the shop. I can't stand it anymore and I don't want to go anymore."

"They also say that being a doctor in a county town is the most dangerous. You have to be rich or noble. If you make a mistake in treating a problem, you will be beaten and scolded, and your door will be blocked. It's better to be a traveling doctor at home, where you can have a leisurely life and earn a lot of money."

"Aunt believes it?" Zhuang Qingning couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Zhuang Wencheng is a kind and honest person. I remember that he always said that his master had worked hard and as a disciple he had to serve diligently and it was okay to suffer a little. Because of this, almost everyone in the village thought that Zhuang Wencheng was a sensible and kind-hearted child.

It seemed too sudden for such a person who usually always cared a lot about others, was honest and kind, and was not afraid of hardship to suddenly say such words.

"My mother didn't believe it at first, but I told my father the inside story in advance, and my father helped me to speak up, saying that I usually said that my work was not hard, tiring or busy, but now I can say such impatient words, which shows how much hardship and fatigue I have suffered there every day."

"When my mother heard this, she was so distressed that she burst into tears. She also asked me why I didn't tell her earlier. If I had told her earlier, she would have said she would never have let me go through all this hardship. In the end, she comforted me and said it was okay if I didn't study."

Zhuang Wencheng smiled and said, "I didn't expect it to be so smooth. Fortunately, my father is smart and helped me."

"I told my mother this morning about helping you keep a bunch of medicinal herbs. Firstly, I haven't been home for a long time, and I don't know many people here. If I become a doctor in the future, no one will know me. I can take this opportunity to get to know everyone."

"Secondly, I told my mother that this was Uncle Yutian's business. Uncle Yutian also told me about this matter and asked me to help out a little, so my mother naturally agreed."

In fact, although she agreed, Wang also said a lot of things to Zhuang Wencheng.

Apart from these two things, you must be thinking about Zhuang Qingning and wanting to help her and take the opportunity to get closer to her. Let her put this thought aside as soon as possible and stop thinking so many things like that.

Zhuang Wencheng was unhappy in his heart, but he agreed on the surface. He stopped talking about this and didn't say anything more to Zhuang Qingning.

After hearing what Zhuang Wencheng said, Zhuang Qingning couldn't help but smile.

You know what, it’s really like this.

If a person who is usually kind and honest suddenly complains about something, people will naturally subconsciously not think that something has gone wrong with this person, but that there is indeed a problem with this matter.

Mr. Zhuang was really thoughtful. He grasped this point and successfully convinced Wang.

In short, no matter what, as long as Zhuang Wencheng is doing well, Zhuang Qingning can feel a little relieved.

"Since Auntie has agreed to this, I will take Brother Wencheng to Uncle Yonghe's house now. Brother Wencheng, you can get acquainted with the place." Zhuang Qingning said as she took off her apron.

"Okay." Zhuang Wencheng smiled, then followed Zhuang Qingning to Zhuang Yonghe's house.

Zhuang Yonghe and He were busy at home at the moment, counting and weighing the mugwort, calamus and other things that people brought here to sell. Seeing Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Wencheng coming, Zhuang Yonghe asked He to go ahead and free up his hands to talk to the two of them.

When Zhuang Yonghe learned about Zhuang Wencheng's purpose and Zhuang Qingning's plan, he was overjoyed. "This is really the right time. To be honest with you, Ning, I have never been sure about this job."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"It is said that medicinal materials are divided into different grades. I don't know much about medicinal materials or their quality, and I am afraid that what I collect may not be the same as what I want. Now that Wencheng is here, he can check it for me. I can finally put my mind at ease."

What Zhuang Yonghe said is the truth.

On weekdays, he is good at harvesting beans and duck eggs. He can tell whether the beans are good or the duck eggs are fresh just by looking and touching them. But he can't tell the quality of medicinal herbs, so he is a little scared to do the work.

The most important thing is that with Zhuang Wencheng around, there will be one more person to help with the work, which makes me feel more at ease and a little more relaxed.

"Uncle Yonghe, don't worry. I will take care of this matter from now on." Zhuang Wencheng made the promise, grinning.

Zhuang Qingning was still thinking about the Songhua Egg workshop, so he simply talked to Zhuang Wencheng about it and asked Zhuang Yonghe to take Zhuang Wencheng to familiarize himself with the prices and what to do every day, and then hurried to the Songhua Egg workshop.

Zhuang Wencheng discussed the purchase of medicinal materials with Zhuang Yonghe in detail. ——Two days passed in a flash, and Zhuang Qingning got up early that morning and followed the delivery truck to the town to the shop.

"Sister Ning." Zhang Qiuying's face was full of excitement. "I haven't seen you for several days. Where's Qingsui? Can't Qingsui come today?"

"Probably in the evening or two. She can take a day off the day after tomorrow. I will bring her to play with you then." Zhuang Qingsui replied with a smile.

"Okay then. I'll just wait patiently."

With the exact time, Zhang Qiuying felt hopeful, but she still took out the thing hidden in her arms and handed it to Zhuang Qingning, "Sister Ning, this is something I learned to embroider when I had time. It's not good, but it's barely acceptable. It's for Qingsui. Can you give it to her for me?"
