Chapter 76 Black Heart System (Update 1)
Zhuang Qingning felt that the only reward for returning the lost property was a diligence value of 30.
What the best system is? It's just some people bragging about it. It's so bad...
[Host, you can't say that. After all, the system was affected by a bug last time, and I couldn't do anything about it.]
【but……】
[I am very curious, why didn't the host accept the other party's thanks when he returned the things just now? ]
Hmm? So you're saying that it's okay to accept the other party's thanks? But isn't this the mission of returning the lost property?
[Yes, returning lost property means you are not stealing other people's things. This thank you is not secretly coveting other people's things. It is a legitimate expression of gratitude from others! ]
[I have indeed picked a host with high moral character who does good things without asking for any reward! ]
[Host, I think with your character, you will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future.]
[As the saying goes, be a good person before doing anything...]
Gao Shang, you big-headed ghost! Zhuang Qingning felt like crying but had no tears at this moment.
She didn't want any reward, she just didn't know and thought that if she accepted the reward, the mission would fail...
So, why didn't you say so earlier?
[Ahem, host, you didn’t ask, did you…]
Black heart system!
From now on, your tasks will be gone. You won’t suffer any loss if you don’t do them. You just won’t be able to obtain extra items, which is not a big loss either.
Anyway, I can't get rich, and that five can't achieve personal success.
It doesn’t matter!
[Since the host has shown noble character this time, the system will reward the host with fifty diligence points. ]
eighty!
【sixty!】
ninety!
【make a deal!】
[The system is a soft-hearted system...] (feeling wronged)
Okay, okay, I won’t say much about sharing weal and woe. You won’t be at a disadvantage anyway, right?
Zhuang Qingning returned to the front of the stall with a smile on his face.
After a helpless sigh, a certain Five chose to escape.
"How is it? Is it the person my sister guessed?" When Zhuang Qingsui saw Zhuang Qingning coming back, he hurriedly came up to ask.
"Yes, it's exactly the same as what you said, so there shouldn't be any problem." Zhuang Qingning nodded in response.
"That's good." Zhuang Qingsui grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and picked up the sesame candy and shortbread she had just bought: "Sister, try it. It tastes better to me than before."
"You haven't eaten for a while, so you're just craving for it." Zhuang Qingning took a few of the shortbreads and stuffed them into Liu's mouth: "Auntie, have some. They're very crispy and don't require much chewing."
Normally, they would come and go, so Liu did not refuse, but she only took one pastry and ate it slowly.
"You are so kind. The girl who just lost her purse will definitely be very happy." Liu said.
"Probably." Zhuang Qingning narrowed his eyes.
The girl named Chunlan had definitely predicted what was inside the purse; it was definitely hers.
But somehow, she always felt that Chunlan didn't seem happy to see the purse. This purse didn't seem to be a beloved thing to her, but rather a hot potato.
It's really strangely tight...
However, this is all other people's business and has nothing to do with her. She has completed the task, and that's good enough.
Zhuang Qingning stopped thinking about this matter and picked up a piece of sesame candy and put it in his mouth.
Crisp, fragrant and delicious, yummy! - Chunlan in the carriage, holding the purse in her hand, said nothing, her lips bitten white.
"Sister Chunlan, you just said that the hair in your purse is from when you were eight years old, or did your mother find someone with a discerning eye to look at it?"
Xia He tilted her head: "But I remember that you said before that your mother died of complications during childbirth, leaving you behind. Your father then married a stepmother, saying that she would take care of you, but she treated you very harshly. It was also because of this that she sold you to a human trafficker when you were seven or eight years old..."
Chunlan came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly: "Just now, I was the one who lied to that little girl."
"Ah? Then you..." Xia He covered her mouth: "This purse is not yours?"
"No." Chunlan waved her hands and explained: "This purse is indeed mine, but I just made it up, otherwise I can't explain this hair..."
Red string tied hair.
Red is often used to ward off evil spirits, or to represent happy events.
Seeing that Chunlan was embarrassed to say it, Xia He immediately laughed: "It is said that girls are more thoughtful when they grow up. It seems that Sister Chunlan has found someone she likes."
So they took some hair and tied it together, which meant tying the knot.
"Shh, don't tell anyone else." Chunlan lowered her head shyly: "It's still uncertain about this matter, it's just wishful thinking. Keeping this is also a thought."
"I know, don't worry, Sister Chunlan, I promise I won't tell." Xia He smiled and nodded.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and Xia He pulled Chunlan to talk about the various foods they had bought in the town today, and she was very excited.
Chunlan responded incoherently, the light in her eyes dimming little by little. ——It was almost noon, and Liu's donkey roll was sold out.
"Finally, they're all sold out." Liu stood up, took a long breath, and laughed, "There are always a lot of people at the fair, so I made a few more and they were all sold out."
"Then Auntie, you should take a good rest tomorrow. You've been busy all day today, and your nasal tone is sounding a little heavy." Zhuang Qingning said as she helped to pack up.
"Yes, I won't come tomorrow, you and Qingsui can stay here."
Liu stroked her aching forehead, packed her things, and left.
Zhuang Qingning also started packing her things and prepared to buy some cloth.
Summer is coming soon, so I'd make a few more summer clothes so I can wear them alternately. There's a big market today, and I'm selling some of my home-spun fabrics at the market, and the price isn't high.
"Is there any tofu left?" The trembling old woman walked up to Zhuang Qingning carrying a bamboo basket. When she put down the basket, she reached out and patted his hunched back.
It’s the same old lady who was late buying tofu yesterday.
"I'm sorry, it's sold out." Zhuang Qingning apologized: "You came too late, please come earlier tomorrow."
"Okay." The old woman grinned and said, "When people get old, they forget things. I was talking to someone and forgot to buy tofu."
"Hey, I said I wanted to buy some potatoes yesterday, and I just remembered today that these potatoes are so good, not only are they big, but they don't have any holes or bumps. I'll go back and make some stir-fried shredded potatoes, and they'll taste good."
"But you have to use less vinegar. It won't taste good if it's too sour..."
The old woman muttered on and on for a long time, then she picked up the bamboo basket and walked away tremblingly.
The figure looked so thin that Zhuang Qingning couldn't help but look at it a few more times and sighed slightly.
