Chapter 437 Good Things
"Anyway, uncle, help me call everyone out, and I'll tell everyone."
Zhuang Jingye lowered his head and thought for a moment.
Zhuang Qingning said nothing and just asked him to call out all the people. This made people feel unsure.
But then again, this is what Zhuang Qingning wants to do, and it is definitely not a bad thing.
Since she said she would explain it later, she must have her reasons. It would be inappropriate to keep asking her questions.
Zhuang Jingye figured it out, so he nodded and said, "Okay, when the rain stops, I'll call everyone out. If there's anything, you can talk to them about it."
"Thank you, uncle village head." Zhuang Qingning narrowed his eyes and smiled.
This kind of trust that is completely trusted, and without any consideration of future developments...
It gives people a really good feeling.
However, she would never let this trust be betrayed.
Zhuang Qingning smiled with her eyes curved, and after talking to Zhuang Jingye, she went home. ——The autumn rain continued for two days.
As soon as the rain stopped and the clouds in the sky dispersed a little, without waiting for the ground to dry out, Zhuang Jingye blew the bamboo whistle as Zhuang Qingning had instructed, calling all the villagers to the entrance of the ancestral hall.
"Why are you calling us here in a hurry at this time? What's the matter?" someone asked.
"I don't know." The person next to him shook his head, but his face was full of excitement. "But I think it shouldn't be a bad thing. It's mostly good things."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around nodded in approval.
Take the recent situation for example. The last time the bamboo whistle was blown, it was to beat up the people from Zhaojiazhuang. Although this did not seem to be a good thing, it did save the workshop in the village and let outsiders see how powerful they are.
After that, when the news spread that the people in Zhaojiazhuang were coveting the recipe of their workshop, Enjizhuang became famous all of a sudden. People in the surrounding villages all said that they only knew that Enjizhuang had a workshop and it seemed to be profitable, but they didn't expect it to be so profitable and make Zhaojiazhuang so jealous.
As for the workshops in the village, they give priority to hiring people from the village to do the work, and they collect things right after the things in the village. So in the future, if a girl marries into Enjizhuang, or if a son marries a girl from Enjizhuang, then they are related. In the future, if someone wants to sell beans or salted duck eggs in the workshop of Enjizhuang, or come to do some work, they will definitely benefit more than those who have no connection with the village.
As a result, in the past two days, the number of people coming to Enjizhuang to propose marriage has increased a lot more than before, and they have to be selected carefully before they can be decided. Generally speaking, this is the benefit brought by beating the people from Zhaojiazhuang that day.
Going back further, the last time they were called was because the workshop was being expanded and they needed to find more people to do the work.
The last time was on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, and we were going to give everyone some dried tofu, moon cakes and other things.
Once again, once again...
In short, every time is a good thing.
Everyone had reason to believe that Zhuang Jingye must have something good to say this time when he called everyone to the ancestral hall.
As for what good thing is...
Without allowing the villagers to discuss too much, Zhuang Jingye stood on the bench and cleared his throat, "Everyone, be quiet. I called you all here today because Miss Ning wants to discuss something with you. You all should be quiet and listen to what Miss Ning has to say."
Zhuang Qingning has something to discuss with them?
Needless to say, it is definitely a good thing.
Everyone suddenly became excited and pricked up their ears. Some even subconsciously stretched their heads forward to listen carefully to what Zhuang Qingning had to say.
When Zhuang Qingning saw the villagers' eager eyes, he calmed himself down, took a deep breath, and then said loudly, "I called everyone here today to discuss something with you and ask you to borrow some money..."
Borrow money?
Upon hearing these two words, everyone present was stunned.
No way, did I hear it wrong? Zhuang Qingning wants to borrow money from them?
"Ning girl's workshops usually have good business, so she should not be short of money. Why does she suddenly need to borrow money?" someone asked.
"I don't know, but even if the business is good, it doesn't mean that there is no shortage of money. Isn't it said that when doing business, even if the business looks good, there is actually not much spare money. Maybe Ning girl is like this?"
"It's possible. Maybe someone took the goods but didn't pay Ning, so the money can't be paid..."
Some people here were speculating why Zhuang Qingning wanted to borrow money, while someone over there was asking Zhuang Qingning how much he wanted to borrow.
"Ning girl, are you having any trouble with your business? If you want to borrow money, my family doesn't have much money, but if we get together, we can get five taels of silver. Do you think it's enough?"
"My family can lend me six taels!"
"My family's three or two..."
Naturally, some people were a little surprised about the reason why Zhuang Qingning borrowed money, and were even more curious about where Zhuang Qingning was going to use the money for and when he could pay it back in the future.
For a moment, everyone surrounded Zhuang Qingning, talking to each other at the same time.
"Quiet, quiet." Zhuang Qingning stood back on the bench and said loudly, "As for the matter of borrowing money, the reason and purpose are not convenient to be disclosed to you guys for the time being, so please stop asking. To put it bluntly, I am just asking you guys with my face. As for paying back the money, I will probably pay it back after the New Year."
"If you have spare money at home and are willing to lend it to me, one or two taels is not too little, and ten or eight taels is not too much. If you really don't have any spare money at home, that's fine too. If you have spare money but it's inconvenient, that's fine too. In short, if you are willing to lend it to me, just go to the village head uncle's house and tell him the amount first, and let him remember it."
Zhuang Qingning looked up at Tian'er and continued, "Just limit it to this one hour. If you need to discuss it with your family, go back and discuss it with them..."
Zhuang Qingning didn't explain any more. After that, he jumped off the bench and went back with Zhuang Jingye.
The villagers who were left here were still discussing in groups of three or four whether to lend or not, and how much to lend to Zhuang Qingning.
Zhuang Qingning walked all the way back home, sat on a bench in the yard, and let out a long breath.
Borrowing money without revealing any reason, this behavior full of uncertainty should be a huge psychological challenge for the villagers.
For farmers whose family together earn only a few taels of silver throughout the year, this kind of thing is really difficult for them.
But at this time, Zhuang Qingning had no other choice. If he wanted to obtain the support value stipulated in the system and successfully trigger the wheat planting task, this was the only way.
Now that the words have been spoken, in the next hour, it will depend on whether we can successfully obtain the remaining 30% of support points.
