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 318: Scared (Third update, please vote for me)

Miao Hongjin was looking forward to it, and he couldn’t let him down.

Just after escaping from danger, he was already thinking about Miao Village. This Zhuang Qingning was really...

Ding Gaochang didn't know what words to use to describe Zhuang Qingning for a moment. He just felt that Zhuang Qingning's image had become much taller, and his admiration for him increased.

Looking at Ding Gaochang's eyes full of stars, Zhuang Qingning blinked.

She just can't wait to develop more new businesses, accumulate hard work points as soon as possible, and move towards higher achievements. There's really no need to think of her as so great...

However, looking at Ding Gaochang's current appearance, Zhuang Qingning felt that if he explained too much, he was afraid that he would not listen, so he could only sigh in private.

"Yes, don't worry, Miss Zhuang." Ding Gaochang said loudly, "I will send someone to get the sweet potatoes and bring them to Miss Zhuang."

"Thank you, Lord Ding." Zhuang Qingning said with a smile.

"It's my duty. Miss Zhuang, you don't have to be polite." Ding Gaochang bowed. "Miss Zhuang was frightened and should rest well. I will not bother Miss Zhuang any more. I'll take my leave first."

Zhuang Qingning saw the dark circles under Ding Gaochang's eyes and realized that he probably didn't sleep the whole night, so he didn't invite Ding Gaochang to his home for tea.

"Master Ding, take care."

After Ding Gaochang and others left, Gan Cao and others sent Zhuang Qingning to his doorstep.

"Thank you for the trouble, Miss Gancao." Zhuang Qingning thanked him. "Now that we are at the doorstep, there is no reason not to go in. Miss Gancao, please come in and have a cup of tea."

"Miss Zhuang means well, and I should obey. However, there are still many things to do in the garden, and I have to go back and report." Gancao smiled and declined.

"In this case, Miss Gancao will not be allowed to stay any longer. Please ask Miss Gancao to convey my gratitude to Lord Chu. Thank you very much, Lord Chu."

"Don't worry, Miss Zhuang. I will definitely take her away." Gan Cao got on the carriage and said, "I'll take my leave."

Zhuang Qingning saw the carriage off and waited until it had gone far away before entering his own yard.

Zhuang Qingsui came out after hearing the noise, and seeing that it was Zhuang Qingning, she rushed over with a smile, "Sister is back."

"Last night, Lord Ding sent someone to our house to tell us that my sister had something to discuss and would not be back at night, so he asked me to go to bed early. He also asked me if I was afraid of sleeping alone and whether I wanted someone to accompany me."

Zhuang Qingning was previously thinking about why she had not returned home all night and was afraid that Zhuang Qingsui would be extremely worried. She wondered how she should explain this to her. Now it seems that Ding Gaochang and others have already thought of this for her.

Since Zhuang Qingsui didn't know about this, Zhuang Qingning didn't plan to elaborate. He just smiled and said, "So how did you sleep in the end? Did you call Aunt He to accompany you?"

"No, I slept alone last night, and Snowball kept me company." Zhuang Qingsui rubbed Snowball in her arms, feeling somewhat proud, "I am a grown-up girl now, and I am not afraid of the dark anymore."

"Yes, Qingsui is a grown-up girl now." Zhuang Qingning smiled, "Now that Qingsui has grown up, can you tell me what she plans to eat for breakfast?"

"Hmm..." Zhuang Qingsui tilted his head, "Oven pancake, dumpling soup?"

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Zhuang Qingning washed his hands and went into the kitchen to get busy.

Zhuang Qingsui put down the snowball and let her run in the yard, while he went to the vegetable garden in the yard to pick some tomatoes.

After dinner, the two sisters went about their own business.

Zhuang Qingsui and Zhuang Mingli practiced calligraphy and reviewed their lessons together, while Zhuang Qingning went to the town with Zhuang Sifu to check out the sales of preserved eggs in recent days.

"It's been selling very well these days." Cao said with a smile, "Many people have made reservations in advance. The supply is insufficient to meet the demand."

"I heard that many of them are from the county town. They specially ask people to come here to buy a lot of things and then divide them up when they go back."

All in all, this business is very good.

Zhuang Qingning also smiled when he heard this.

"By the way, last time I talked about the person who wanted to cooperate with us and open a shop in the county, I pushed it back as you said. Now there are some people who think that our shop has no intention of partnering with outsiders at all."

"Some people also said that our business was better, so they started to brag about us. Our store is not big, but we put on a lot of airs. They kept talking about us behind our backs. But no matter what the reason, many people stopped asking about our business these days."

"There is one, a young man who is not that old. He looks very gentle and doesn't look like a businessman. I originally thought he was just talking casually, but he has been coming to ask about it frequently in the past few days. He looks sincere and even said that his family has several shops in the county town and he is not a novice in business."

"I'm not sure, so I'm asking you to see how to respond."

It would be best if she could be an experienced business person like Zhuang Yutian and Meng. They can think of many things for her and she doesn't have to worry about anything. She just needs to focus on controlling the speed and quality of goods supply.

And if, as Cao said, he is sincere, it means he takes this matter very seriously. It is also enough to show that the other party is probably a humble and polite person who can work together.

Sounds like a good business partner.

But whether it is good or not depends on the specific contact.

Zhuang Qingning thought for a moment and said, "Aunt, please wait a few more days. If he can come twice, tell him that you will discuss this matter with him the next day, and ask Brother Sifu to bring me a message when he returns."

"Okay." Cao agreed with a smile.

Then he lowered his voice and said, "Ning girl, you have been busy these days. Have you heard about what happened in Fushun Building?"

"What is it?"

Could it be that Feng Yongkang is capable of causing trouble again?

Zhuang Qingning frowned immediately.

"I heard that Feng, the shopkeeper of Fushun House, was frightened these days. He had a high fever and kept talking nonsense." Cao said, "He said that his house was haunted by some unclean thing. He dared not go out alone after dark. He had to use candles and oil lamps to light up the house, and he had to have someone to accompany him."

"He said someone was knocking on the door, but when his family went out to check, they saw nothing. Shopkeeper Feng was hiding in bed alone. In the hottest days of summer, he was wrapped in a quilt and didn't even dare to show his head..."

"It is said that if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. Manager Feng is so scared, I'm afraid he has something evil in his heart." Zhuang Qingning said.

"That's right. People in this town all say that Manager Feng was too ruthless and even God couldn't stand it." Cao nodded thoughtfully, "It shows that this person must not do anything that would offend him. Otherwise, he will have a guilty conscience and everything he sees is not clean."

"But it's a good thing this way. Last time, Shopkeeper Feng sent people to mess up our shop. If it weren't for this incident, who knows what else he would do..."
