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 567 Dental Clinic

Chapter 567: Dental Clinic

I live in Qingzhuyuan on weekdays, and can go home for one day during the rest day every ten days.

Everyone was very satisfied with this arrangement.

Zhuang Qingning just sighed.

Because for a moment, in the yard that was usually filled with laughter, suddenly there were only her and Snowball, the cat, and she really couldn't adapt.

And seeing that the business was growing, she couldn't handle it alone...

After thinking about it all night, Zhuang Qingning went to the county town the next day.

Instead of going anywhere else, he went straight to the dental clinic.

The dental clinic was quite bustling at this time.

It was the time when spring planting was finished but not yet summer harvest, and it was also the time when there was a shortage of food. Many people sold their land, houses, and even their children.

With many sellers, there are naturally many buyers.

The shop assistants and the owner were busy greeting customers and negotiating prices.

A waiter came up to Zhuang Qingning when he saw her. "What do you want to buy, young lady? We have everything, dry fields, paddy fields, houses, etc."

"I want to see if there is a girl who is about my age, or one or two years older, and is honest and well-behaved. I can buy her to help with housework or something." Zhuang Qingning explained why he came.

"You've come at the right time, young lady. There are quite a few of them these days." The clerk said with a smile, "They are all children of honest farmers. Their families can't make ends meet, so they exchange some money to support themselves."

"If you want to see it, it's in the yard not far away. I'll take you there to have a look and see if there's anything that catches your eye."

"Okay." Zhuang Qingning nodded.

"Okay, girl, just follow me." The clerk smiled and said something to his boss, then led Zhuang Qingning to the back of the pawnshop and turned a corner, into a house that looked quite spacious.

The courtyard was very spacious, with many rooms inside, but the houses were built in a circle along the walls without any particular attention to the aesthetics of the layout. There were many bamboo poles in the yard for drying clothes, with clothes of different lengths and styles hanging on them.

But what is the same is that these clothes are all tattered and full of patches.

It is obvious that these people were bought by the dental clinic from various places and placed here.

The first lady in the yard, who was already old and had some gray hair on her temples, saw the waiter leading the people over and walked over with a big smile on her face, "But you want to see someone, what kind of person do you want to see?"

"Auntie Dong, this girl wants to buy two maids to take back. Please pick out some young girls who are down-to-earth, smart and sensible and let this girl take a look at them." said the waiter.

"Okay." Aunt Dong agreed and walked into the yard again. After a while, she brought out a dozen people and asked them to stand in a row for Zhuang Qingning to see. "Young lady, please look. These were just bought last month. We just taught them the rules a few days ago. They are all efficient and smart people."

"And this time, all of these were bought directly from the parents, without passing through other people's hands. They are all from clean farming families, so you can pick them without worry, young lady."

Zhuang Qingning took a look at the people in front of him.

They were all girls about twelve or thirteen years old, with thick hands and feet and dark skin. They looked like people who had been doing farm work all year round. Even though they were raising their heads at this moment, they only dared to lower their eyelids and did not dare to look at Zhuang Qingning.

"I just heard you say that these were all bought last month by farmers. How come there are suddenly so many people who want to sell their daughters?" Zhuang Qingning asked in surprise.

Ordinary farmers, as long as they can make ends meet, even if they have to eat coarse food, will not sell their children.

"The southwestern part of Shandong has suffered from drought since last autumn. It has not rained since then. The seedlings in the fields have all died of drought. The people have no choice but to flee the famine with their families to make a living."

The man replied, "It's not an easy life to escape from famine. There are so many people fleeing, some get sick, some die on the way, and many sell their children. It's not for their own survival, but because they think that if they are sold, they can at least have a full meal and not have to eat wild vegetables and tree roots all day long, which can kill them at any time."

"Before selling it, I told you again and again to find a good place for it to live with a decent family, and never sell it to a dirty place like that."

"Ah, speaking of it, I feel sorry for the love of parents in the world."

The guy sighed.

I see.

Zhuang Qingning nodded slightly and glanced around again at the dozen or so girls in front of him, finally settling his gaze on a girl near the middle.

This man looks and is stronger than an average person. Even his skin is darker than that of an average person. When he places his fingers in front of him, one can clearly see some thick, yellow calluses on the inside.

Zhuang Qingning also noticed that her hands were washed very clean, and there was no trace of dirt even between her nails. The same went for her clothes. Although they were worn out, they were clean, and even the patches were neatly put together.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Did you mend the clothes you are wearing yourself?" Zhuang Qingning asked.

The other party obviously did not expect Zhuang Qingning to ask her a question suddenly. She looked up in surprise at first, and then lowered her head hastily, "I mended it myself. This dress was also made by me."

"Can you do chores like lighting the fire, cooking, and cleaning the house?" Zhuang Qingning asked again.

"I can do it all." The little girl nodded hurriedly. "I am not afraid of working in the fields, washing clothes, farming, dirty and tiring work. I can do it all. I am also very strong, stronger than most young men. If you buy me, you will definitely not regret it."

"I used to wash clothes for the man's family for a few days. I know how to do things properly and won't ruin a girl's nice clothes."

Anyone who enters a dental clinic wants to sell himself as quickly as possible.

In the pawnshop, although people only eat black doughnuts every day, they can still have enough to eat. But this is a place for business after all. If the meat is picked up one after another and still cannot be sold in the end, it will just be sent away at random.

Some of them were sold to the blind and the lame as wives, and some were given to others as child brides.

So now that someone has taken a liking to her, he would quickly push himself away. What's more, the girl in front of him looked very kind and probably wouldn't be harsh to others.

"Let's choose her." Zhuang Qingning was very satisfied with this person and said to the waiter.

"Miss, you have good eyesight. Xiangqiao is the most capable among these people this time. She has been living here for the past few days, so I don't have to urge her on everything. She is perceptive and not lazy. Just like Xiangqiao said, you won't regret buying it, miss." Aunt Dong said with a smile.

The male lead will appear tomorrow. . Those of you who like to watch CP, don't panic. .
