"No need for trouble. You're here to discuss serious matters. Isn't Jiajia going back to grind herbs later? Just have Wenhua go with her to get them, and have him grind the herbs for Jiajia while he's at it."
"If anyone asks, just say you're going to get medicine, and the villagers shouldn't say anything." Mother Hu thought that since they were so familiar with each other, Ding Heli and Qin Yilin should feel comfortable letting Wen Hua go to get the herbs.
Ding Heli and Qin Yilin exchanged a glance, then turned to look at their daughter.
I'll inevitably have to see Hu Wenhua in the future; it all depends on Jiajia's decision.
Hu Wenhua was initially extremely reluctant for his mother to make him take medicine, especially since he was perfectly healthy. But now that he heard he was going to get the medicine with Jiajia, he suddenly felt that it wasn't so bad to be sick.
He looked at Ding Jiajia, his eyes full of pleading.
He wanted to talk to her alone for a while, or even just walk with her for a bit!
Ding Jiajia suddenly became the center of attention, and her words changed from refusal to "Okay".
Shui Qing felt a little relieved; the short time that had just passed felt exceptionally long!
Good heavens, watching other people date is more tiring than dating myself!
Uh, I misspoke. I've never been in one myself, so I don't know if it's tiring.
Lunch had just ended, and the dishes hadn't been cleared away yet, when groups of women from the village came over.
The large courtyard suddenly became bustling with noise and was exceptionally lively.
"Shuiqing, we've discussed and decided on the family members. What do you think?"
"Don't worry, I guarantee he'll be hardworking and efficient!"
"If you find out that you're cheating or being dishonest, then replace me. We won't say a word."
"If it's not done well, we'll replace it. There are plenty of people in the family, and we'll make sure you're satisfied with the replacement."
......
Besides the woman chosen by her family, other women also came along, and everyone gathered around Shuiqing to make recommendations.
Twenty coins a day! And lunch is provided too.
Even if the food isn't good, it can still fill your stomach, right? As long as you're full, that's fine, and one less person in the family will have to worry about lunch.
It's much more cost-effective to go back and forth like this.
Moreover, they had already agreed that since they hadn't separated the family, whoever came to the household would receive two coins out of the eighteen coins paid to the common people, and she wouldn't have to worry about any household chores.
So whether you were selected or not, I'm happy.
Shui Qing solemnly declared: "I don't know much about medicinal herbs. You will have to listen to Uncle Ding, Aunt Ding, and Jiajia. They will make all the decisions regarding the processing of medicinal herbs."
And let's be clear from the start: these medicinal herbs are very valuable; one wrong move and the whole batch is ruined. So you must be extremely careful when working on this. Any major mistakes that result in losses will be dealt with without mercy!
Past experience has taught her that it's not ugly to say "ugly things" in advance; on the contrary, it can preserve the dignity and face of both parties and give the other party time to prepare.
Upon hearing this, the women all responded, "That's right!"
"Of course."
If I ruin the medicinal herbs and can't sell them for money, I'll be too ashamed to keep them.
The chosen women tensed up and nervously looked at Shui Qing.
Shui Qing smiled gently and said, "There's no need to worry too much. Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding will be in charge of the key steps. You'll be responsible for most of the simple tasks. As long as you're careful and responsible, the medicinal herbs won't be damaged."
The contrast between suppression and praise was also intended to dispel any ulterior motives that might arise among them.
Upon hearing that they wouldn't be responsible for the key steps, the selected individuals breathed a sigh of relief.
Feeling very relaxed.
