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 419 I feel unwell

Chapter 419 I feel unwell

All of a sudden I had so much meat and duck eggs, and I exchanged them for a broken porcelain bowl. Why did it feel so unreal?

Zhang shook her head, and finally reached out and pinched herself hard.

Hiss! It hurts so much.

Zhang rubbed the back of her hand which had turned red from being pinched by herself, and finally came to her senses.

This is true, truer than anything else.

"Mom." Miao Ni came closer, "Mom, please stop pinching yourself. I've already done it several times."

"But why does it always feel unreal, mother?" Zhang said helplessly, "It's just a broken bowl..."

"It's hard to say, maybe it's a good thing?" Miao Ni advised, "Didn't some people say that these old things are hidden in inconspicuous places, and some are even buried in the soil. Maybe this is a good thing that looks inconspicuous?"

"I see that Brother Fang Hou treasures that bowl so much, it should not be fake." Miao Erdan also echoed.

"That's right. After all, I'm with Manager Cheng and work for the Cheng family. I've seen a lot of good things every day. I have a very accurate eye for things, so I shouldn't make a mistake."

Zhang smiled at Miao Ni and Miao Erdan and said, "Well, let's have a bowl of stewed meat for lunch, and pair it with tofu, cabbage, and other things. Let's have a mixed stew!"

"Okay!" Miao Ni and Miao Erdan nodded excitedly.

Although the family's debts have been almost paid off this year, and the family has been able to have enough food to eat since Zhang went to work in the sweet potato vermicelli workshop, they may not be able to eat meat even during the New Year.

The two children were naturally very happy to be able to eat meat.

Zhang was very happy to see Miao Ni and Miao Erdan like this, but she also felt guilty for the two children who had to suffer with her. She touched the two children's cheeks and said, "Hurry up and wash some cabbage, light the fire, and let's stew the meat!"

Upon hearing this, Miao Ni and Miao Erdan hurried to get to work.

Soon, the aroma of meat wafted out from the farmyard.

Fang Hou drove the carriage back, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

These days, it’s really so difficult to send something to someone else’s home.

However, seeing that Zhang was worried that he would lose money, it seemed that the other party would definitely not accept it if it was given for free. Only this roundabout way could make the other party accept it.

If he hadn't been smart, it would be hard to say whether the meat and salted duck eggs could have been delivered successfully.

This is exactly as the shopkeeper said. Only he can do this. No one else can speak so fluently and tell such a convincing lie to make the Zhang family believe it.

But then again, doesn't this also mean that the shopkeeper thinks he is a person who can lie without blushing or getting nervous? This...

Fang Hou suddenly felt a little unwell. ——In the following days, the village remained peaceful.

No suspicious people appeared, nothing happened, and everything in the workshop was normal.

"This matter feels so strange." Zhuang Jingye has been frowning these days because of this. He is very nervous and has dark circles under his eyes.

"It's strange." Zhuang Qingning nodded, "But they haven't made any moves in recent days. Maybe their previous scouting was not successful, and now that they have seen through their actions, they don't want to attack us anymore."

"It's not impossible."

"Indeed." Zhuang Jingye fully agreed with what Zhuang Qingning said.

During this period of time, he has arranged people to guard the entire village tightly. Not only is the entire village as solid as an iron barrel, it is also airtight and will definitely not give others any chance to take advantage of it.

The possibility of causing the other party to give up because of your quick response is also very high.

"But no matter what, after this incident, I should be more careful in the future to avoid being targeted by those miscellaneous people."

Zhuang Jingye said, "By the way, Ning girl, I wanted to discuss something with you today."

When he said this, Zhuang Jingye felt a little embarrassed, and his face was full of flattery, and his smile was full of servility.

"Uncle, the village head, please tell me if you have anything to say."

Although looking at Zhuang Jingye's appearance, Zhuang Qingning felt that this matter might not be easy to handle.

"We are about to start planting wheat, and everyone is looking for wheat seeds. I was thinking that you had such good bean seeds before, so I went to see the bean seed merchant to see if he had any good wheat seeds to sell. If so, let's see if we can buy some back for our village."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

“It doesn’t matter if the price is a little higher.”

Zhuang Qingning raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

This time, the bean harvest was more than half more. Everyone in the village was so happy that it was understandable that they were thinking about the wheat seeds.

As for providing better seeds and a good harvest of grain, so that the villagers can live a better life, in a broader sense, it means promoting new wheat seeds and a good harvest of grain, so that people all over the world will not have to worry about food shortages. This is the best thing.

However, the previous promotion of bean seeds was a task issued by a certain Five, and there might not be such a task this time.

Zhuang Qingning thought for a moment and said, "Uncle head of the village, it's not that I don't want to help the village. It's just that the merchant said earlier that it happened that the other party didn't buy all the goods we had agreed on, so there was some left and we had to come here to exchange them for money."

"Let's not talk about whether we will encounter such an incident this time. I don't even know where this merchant is at the moment. Even if he left an address for sending letters, how long will it take for the letter to be sent back and forth? I don't know whether he is willing to sell wheat seeds to us."

"I can only say that I will give it a try, but I cannot guarantee whether I can find the merchant or buy the wheat seeds in the end."

"I understand, I understand." Zhuang Jingye nodded hurriedly. "We can't say for sure what will happen in any situation. We all understand this. It's just that if something happens, that would be great. If not, that's fine too."

"We just thought that if we can, we will try our best and do good for everyone."

"I understand what the village chief said, and I will do my best. Don't worry, village chief."

In a nutshell, Zhuang Qingning did not say anything definite about what could be done, nor did he say anything definite about what could be done. Ultimately it depends on whether a certain five can provide such wheat seeds.

After Zhuang Jingye left, Zhuang Qingning went back into the house, called out a certain Wu, and asked him about the wheat seeds.

[As for wheat seeds, the system can sell them, and the price is not high, but because the host's current labor value deficit is too high, it is no longer possible to continue to owe a large amount of labor value. ]
