Chapter 221 It's Not Easy
The door creaked open, and Zhou Daya, with tears on her face, appeared at the door, supporting Han, who also had tears in her eyes.
"Miss Zhou..."
Before Zhang Lin finished speaking, Zhou Daya and Han both knelt in front of him. Zhang Lin was so shocked that he quickly reached out to help them up: "What are you doing? Get up quickly."
"Thank you, Mr. Cha, and Mr. Ding, for saving my daughter's life." Han was in tears, and her voice was trembling. "I really want to thank you."
"My Lord specifically asked me to bring a message to you, saying that this is all as it should be, and that you should not take it to heart."
Zhang Lin said: "Qi He and Qi Shen have been arrested, and the rumors about the water ghost have been dispelled. You can rest assured from now on. As for the people in the village..."
Although some people are selfish, there are still some people who seem kind and should still help them.
"Don't worry." Zhang Lin said.
"Yes, don't worry, don't worry." Han agreed readily.
But can I really let go of this feeling?
This time they were tricked by two villains, and those people took advantage of their family's lack of support and bullied them. Who knows if there will be another villain, and if there will be another incident? Han didn't know, and didn't dare to think about it. She could only sigh in her heart, without showing any expression on her face, and just followed Zhang Lin's words.
Zhang Lin could see it, but he didn't expose it. He just talked about other things with Han and Zhou Daya to get closer to them.
He even had lunch here at noon and went to the county government to report his work when the sun was setting.
"Grandma, you should take a rest too." Zhou Daya looked at Han's tired face and planned to help her into the house to sleep for a while.
"Don't rest yet, pack up." Han sighed, "Take everything you can take, valuable things, things you often use, pack them up, and don't take things you can't take, and we'll deal with them later."
"Grandma, this is..." Zhou Daya stood up straight: "Are we moving away?"
"Move away. I'm afraid you won't be able to live in peace here any longer."
Han sighed, "You listened to what they said before. They only cared about how they felt about themselves. How could they care about us? Who knows, they will say we are narrow-minded in a sarcastic way in the future. It's better to live like this."
"Your grandfather and I are not originally from the clan here. We are refugees from famine. Outsiders are not welcome. Your father is usually taciturn and has a bad temper. As a result, no one helps our family when we have problems. We simply don't have any roots here. It's better for us to go to your aunt for help. After all, we can help each other."
"We'll take as much as we can and leave early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, grandma, I'll listen to you." Zhou Daya nodded and went into the house to tidy up.
"Oh." Han sighed deeply.
What a sin! In this life, there is really no time to live a stable life. - After taking a break, Zhuang Qingning took Zhuang Qingsui to the medicine shop and started to prepare the mosquito repellent herbal bag.
Originally, this mosquito repellent herbal bag requires various herbs such as cloves, calamus, mugwort, mint, patchouli, honeysuckle, etc. It requires a lot of ingredients and is expensive. However, because of the mosquito repellent secret recipe powder, some expensive herbs do not need to be included. Only mugwort, calamus, and mint leaves are needed, plus the mosquito repellent secret recipe powder exchanged in the system, and this mosquito repellent herbal bag can be made.
The shop assistant was a young man named Yuansheng, who was about the same age as Zhuang Qingning. He looked at Zhuang Qingning and laughed, "Manager Zhuang, you want some mosquito repellent bags, right? We have some ready-made ones here, and they're not expensive, five cents a bag. In weather like this, put six or seven in the room, and they'll last for seven or eight days."
"If it's big, it will last longer and be more effective, maybe ten days or so. If you put this in your house, there will be no mosquitoes. You only need five, but one is a little more expensive, ten cents."
A mosquito repellent bag costs five to ten cents, and ten days or so would cost at least fifty cents. Five cents a day is enough to buy tofu, which is enough for a family of four or five to eat for two or three days.
Summer is long, and if you use it all day long, it will indeed be a very noticeable expense.
No wonder ordinary people just use the mugwort and mint grown at home to simply repel mosquitoes. No wonder Yuansheng is so enthusiastic about promoting this thing. I guess it's not particularly easy to sell.
"No need, just buy these three things." Zhuang Qingning said, "I'll go back and sew a bag myself, so I can save as much as possible."
The mosquito repellent powder was something that had not been tested yet, and they had not yet decided whether or not to sell it in the market. Zhuang Qingning did not talk much about it with strangers, and simply brushed it off with the excuse of saving money.
Ordinary people live by saving as much as they can, scraping out every penny and saving it together.
They were all from ordinary families, and they were used to seeing many people saving money in various ways. Yuansheng didn't say anything else, just nodded and helped Zhuang Qingning weigh out the things he wanted: "Okay, I'll rush to buy some before going to bed tonight, I think it will be useful."
"Don't keep your herbal bag sealed when you're done. Put it in an open place. It's been raining a lot these days, and it's easy for moisture to build up in some houses. If it's sealed, it'll get damaged easily."
"I'll give you a higher scale. These mugwort leaves and other things are all small pieces that are dried. These will be enough for making some when you take them back."
Yuansheng is a man who knows how to do business. He is lively in speech and always has a smile on his face. He is very likable.
"Thank you." Zhuang Qingning smiled and gave the money, took the packed things, and led Zhuang Qingsui out.
"Goodbye." Yuansheng saw the two people off, put the money into the money box, and then took the pestle to crush the herbs his master had ordered.
While busying himself, he sighed.
"What's wrong? You're so young, but you're sighing like an old man." Doctor Wei, who was looking for a prescription for medicinal herbs, laughed.
"I just think that the shopkeeper just now has a hard life." Yuansheng said: "Look at this shopkeeper, he opened a shop at a young age, and the business is booming. He looks very prosperous, but his life is actually very tight."
"I heard that the owner of this farm lost his parents a few years ago. Because he had no brothers, all the houses and lands in his family were taken away by his uncle's family. He and his sister were the only ones to support themselves. I think their life must be very difficult."
"You think a lot." Doctor Wei said with a smile, "But many of these things are different from what you think."
