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 432: The Most Money-Gropper in Beijing
"You promised me that you wouldn't get married in the next two years." Chu Yunzhao reminded.
"This is a different time. I didn't know I was engaged at first, but now that I know, and if the other party is very suitable for me..." Chu Jinnian touched his nose, "I can't guarantee that I can do anything."
Well, I used to think that Chu Jinnian was not interested in marriage at all. It turned out that he was the kind of person who would break his promise as soon as he found out that I was engaged.
What a mean person! "You... are shameless!" Chu Yunzhao squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
"Fourth Prince, there is no need to be so angry. Everything can be discussed." Chu Jinnian's mouth curled up with a meaningful smile, "Fourth Prince, why don't you discuss it with me? Maybe I will agree to your request and put this matter aside for the time being."
"Oh?" Chu Yunzhao's anger dissipated when he heard this. He thought for a while and asked, "How do we discuss this?"
"If the Fourth Prince gives me the other shop, I can consider postponing this marriage for two or three years." Chu Jinnian replied.
Chu Yunzhao, "..."
After going around in circles, we finally decided to take over his shop.
Chu Jinnian, from now on, don't call yourself the Cold-Faced Yama anymore. Change your name to the Capital's No. 1 Money- Losing Man! ——When it was getting dark in the evening, Zhuang Jingye arrived at Zhuang Qingning's house, very excited.
"What was the result of the village head uncle's visit to the county government?"
While asking, Zhuang Qingning poured a cup of tea for Zhuang Jingye.
Chrysanthemum tea, with a little rock sugar added, has a slightly sweet taste, moisturizes and relieves heat, and the tea temperature is just right, neither cold nor hot.
Zhuang Jingye took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "After that, I went to look for Lord Ding. It happened that Lord Ding was also in the county government office today, so I explained the matter to him."
"When Lord Ding heard about this, his face turned ugly. He said that Zhaojiazhuang was really too much and wanted to reprimand Zhao Qiancheng. He also comforted me and said not to worry, and that he would definitely ask for an explanation from our village."
"With Lord Ding here, I think we can rest easy on this matter."
Zhuang Jingye recalled how Ding Gaochang had been quite polite to him in the county government office today, and his eyebrows almost flew out.
"Lord Ding has always been fair in his work and will definitely not let Zhao Qiancheng off easily. However, we cannot rely on Lord Ding alone for this kind of thing."
Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "Uncle Lizheng, you should know who in our village likes to gossip outside the village and who likes to chat with people from other villages."
“It’s natural.”
Zhuang Jingye nodded.
He has been the head of the village for many years. Enji Village is a small place with only so many people. Zhuang Jingye knows very well what kind of people they are and what they do on a daily basis.
"Ning girl, don't worry. I will definitely tell everyone to keep their mouths shut and not say those nonsense outside."
To prevent them from making false accusations, oh no, accusing Zhaojiazhuang of coveting the workshop and saying something else, which would be disadvantageous to them.
"Uncle, the village head, we really can't let everyone keep their mouths shut this time. We have to speak." Zhuang Qingning laughed, and his smile was full of cunning.
"Got to say?" Zhuang Jingye was stunned.
"Yes, I have to say it." Zhuang Qingning nodded, "Not only do I have to say it, but I have to say it more."
"Ah?" Zhuang Jingye was even more dumbfounded. —— "Have you heard about it?"
"What did you hear?"
"The matter of Zhaojiazhuang..."
"Oh, I thought you were talking about something, but it turns out you were talking about the good things that old man Zhao Qiancheng did?"
"It's not like he can say anything about anyone else. This matter has spread all over the surrounding villages. Who doesn't know about it? Zhao Qiancheng is really something. As a village head, he has no ability to lead the people in his own village to make money and get rich. He looks at the people in other villages and is jealous. It's really embarrassing."
"It's more than just embarrassing, it's embarrassing for all eight generations of your ancestors. You're jealous of others making money, if you have the ability you can set up a workshop yourself, but you don't have the ability to do this, so you just want to steal other people's recipes."
"That's right. I also heard that Zhao Qiancheng tried every possible way to steal the recipe from the workshop, but the workshop was like an iron barrel and refused to listen. Zhao Qiancheng had no other choice but to turn his attention to his nephew Zhao Ziping. He asked Zhao Ziping to pretend to go to the Songhua Egg workshop and look for Miss Zhou, the manager, and say that he liked her and planned to propose marriage to her. The purpose was to trick Miss Zhou and get the recipe."
"But Miss Zhou was smart and saw through Zhao Ziping's words at once. She scolded him severely. Even Zhuang Sifu, who was driving the cart and delivering goods in the workshop, couldn't stand it and beat Zhao Ziping up, warning him not to target the workshop again in the future."
"Originally, the matter should have ended here, but Zhao Ziping and Zhao Qiancheng were thicker-skinned than the corner of the city wall. They went to Enji Village to seek an explanation for Zhao Ziping's beating, but in the end, they didn't get an explanation, but got beaten instead. It's really hilarious."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"The hilarious part is yet to come. Zhaojiazhuang actually spread the news that Miss Zhou from Enjizhuang hooked up with Zhao Ziping and was unfaithful to her husband. Listen, is this what people say? What kind of person is she? What did she do? She thought that everyone didn't know. After failing to steal the prescription, she thought of slandering the girl's reputation. Tsk tsk, Zhaojiazhuang is really..."
"If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. The head of Zhaojiazhuang is so bad, the villagers below are definitely not much better. In the future, those who want to marry off their daughters and marry wives should open their eyes and not pick people from Zhaojiazhuang, otherwise who knows what trouble will come in the future. If you bring a trouble back home, your family will never have peace for the rest of their lives!"
"That's right, everyone should have an idea in mind..."
In recent days, this topic has become the talk of the town in the surrounding villages after dinner, and it has become more and more popular.
Someone saw Zhou Daya yelling at Zhao Ziping, and Zhao Ziping was so angry that his face turned purple. He wanted to hit Zhou Daya, but was taught a lesson by Zhou Daya instead.
What about seeing with my own eyes people from Zhaojiazhuang sneaking around the entrance of Enjizhuang village, trying to steal the recipe, but they were discovered and beaten so badly that even their own mothers didn't recognize them.
…
The rumor is very detailed.
Such gossip spread around and eventually reached Zhaojiazhuang.
When Zhao Qiancheng heard this, he was so angry that he smashed a cup.
"Second uncle, the people from Enji Village are simply turning the tables and taking the initiative!" Zhao Ziping was indignant.
