Chapter 436: Borrowing Money

Zhuang Qingning pursed her lips.

This Zhao Dacai spoke in a very official tone. For a moment, it was almost impossible to tell whether he was just pretending to be sincere or whether he was sincerely apologizing.

However, one should not hit someone who smiles at him. Since he has come to apologize, there is no reason to hold him back.

Besides, Zhao Dacai is not stupid. He probably understands the reason and why the whole thing has come to this point.

Some things are generally acceptable and each party just gets what they need. There is really no need to delve into many details.

Zhuang Qingning smiled. "Li Zheng Zhao is indeed a fair man. This matter is beyond Li Zheng's control and prediction. It is not Li Zheng's fault."

"Zhao Lizheng doesn't need to take it too seriously."

"Shopkeeper Zhuang is magnanimous and kind, a heroine who deserves admiration." Zhao Dacai said, "Besides, there is one more thing I would like to trouble you with."

"It was Zhao Ziping's fault for making up rumors and defaming Miss Zhou. Although I wanted to apologize to Miss Zhou on Zhao Ziping's behalf, this matter concerns the reputation of the girl and it has already passed. If I bring it up again, I am afraid it will make Miss Zhou sad and embarrassed again."

"So please ask Shopkeeper Zhuang to tell Miss Zhou that I have severely punished Zhao Ziping and the matter has been settled. Miss Zhou doesn't need to worry anymore. Please also ask Shopkeeper Zhuang to say hello to Miss Zhou on my behalf."

"Mr. Zhao is thoughtful. I will definitely convey this message to you." Zhuang Qingning nodded.

"Thank you, Manager Zhuang." Zhao Dacai bowed and then stood up. "Today I came to the village to apologize to Manager Zhuang and Manager Zhuang. I won't bother you any more."

It was a rainy day, and since Zhuang Qingning came to find Zhuang Jingye in the rain, they must have something to talk about. Zhao Dacai was quite considerate and didn't want to disturb them.

Furthermore, he came here today to apologize, and as he spoke, he had to smile and confess his own faults, as well as the faults of Zhaojiazhuang. Although Zhao Dacai felt that the fault was indeed at Zhaojiazhuang's, he couldn't hold back his face after talking too much.

This is a good opportunity to slip away quickly, so that I don't have to keep smiling here because of those two bastards Zhao Qiancheng and Zhao Zian.

Zhuang Jingye completely understood what Zhao Dacai was thinking, but Zhao Dacai came to apologize on behalf of someone else after all, and logically speaking he had done a good job on the surface. He couldn't be too demanding, so he stood up and sent Zhao Dacai out.

Zhuang Qingning also stood up, but only walked him to the door. He watched Zhuang Jingye walk Zhao Dacai to the gate before he turned back.

"This new head of the village, Zhao, is really good at talking. I think even ghosts can be fooled, let alone humans." Zhuang Jingye curled his lips.

Apart from anything else, Zhao Dacai's official tone is really unbearable. He always uses those flowery words, which makes him feel overwhelmed.

Who is not a village head? Who hasn't read a few books? Who doesn't have a son working in the government? Only you, Zhao Dacai, are capable? Zhuang Jingye disliked Zhao Dacai very much.

"But he is a smart one after all." Zhuang Qingning could see Zhuang Jingye's dissatisfaction and said with a smile.

"That's right. He just became the head of the village and came here today to apologize. He didn't delay even though it was raining. He is a man of clear mind." Zhuang Jingye raised his eyebrows. "Let's not talk about whether his intentions are right or not. He is not stupid. It's easier to talk about him if he is not stupid."

At least they are much better than Zhao Qiancheng and Zhao Zian, the stupid and vicious uncle and nephew.

"That's the case." Zhuang Qingning nodded, "Although this man looks smart and capable, he is still far inferior to the village head uncle."

At least his thoughts are not as realistic as Zhuang Jingye's.

Zhuang Jingye was originally unhappy because of Zhao Dacai, but when he heard Zhuang Qingning praising him like that, he felt as comfortable as if he had drunk some cool honey water in the hottest days of summer.

But he still pretended to be modest, "Well, that's not the case. They are all about the same. It's also impossible to say one is better than the other."

"By the way, Ning girl, you came to my house in the rain to see me, what's the matter?"

Zhao Dacai came in the rain because he was eager to ease the relationship. He wanted to do it in front of the people in the village, the people from other villages, and even Lord Ding.

It must be a big deal that made Zhuang Qingning come to find him in the rain.

When Zhuang Jingye thought of this, he immediately perked up.

"I really have something to discuss with you, the village head." Zhuang Qingning said, "When the rain stops, can you help me call everyone in the village to the ancestral hall? I have something to discuss with everyone."

"What's the matter?" Zhuang Jingye asked.

"Borrow money." Zhuang Qingning replied.

"What?" Zhuang Jingye was stunned and looked at Zhuang Qingning for a long time.

If he remembered correctly, Zhuang Qingning's tofu shop, bean curd sticks workshop, and preserved egg workshop had a constant flow of goods every day. It couldn't be said that Zhuang Qingning was a wealthy man nowadays, but in his opinion, he could just take out a few hundred taels of silver.

Zhuang Qingning, such a person, actually asked to borrow money?

"Ning girl, you must have run into some trouble. How much money do you need? Tell me first and I'll see how much I have here." Zhuang Jingye said hastily, "I don't have enough here. If not, I'll find a way to find it for you."

Zhuang Jingye felt that it must not be a small matter that could make Zhuang Qingning come up with the idea of ​​borrowing money from the whole village, and it might be something that was difficult to talk about. If that was the case, it might not be appropriate for Zhuang Qingning to come forward to borrow money.

"If you need to borrow money for business, I think it's best for you not to show up. After all, there are only a few workshops left. If you show up to borrow money, it means that the workshop cannot continue to operate and can't pay the workers. If the workers don't work hard, the workshop will become less profitable and it will be even harder for you to turn things around."

"Just listen to me and let me borrow the money. This way it won't affect you. If anything happens, we can talk about it."

"I still have 20 or 30 taels of silver at home. I don't know how much I can help you with. I'll give it to you first. If it's not enough, I'll think of another way..."

Seeing Zhuang Jingye in such a hurry, as if he was about to give her money, Zhuang Qingning was touched and hurriedly stopped him, "Uncle head of the village, please don't be in a hurry. This is not the case..."

"What's going on?" Zhuang Jingye became more and more curious.

"yes……"

Zhuang Qingning opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, so he simply waved his hand and said, "Let me explain this to the village head uncle later."
