Chen Qiuxia couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, tears streaming down her face.
Chen Qiuxia finally realized she was wrong, but it seemed there was no turning back. Her mind, which was usually very sharp, was now completely blank, like mush.
What happened in the village couldn't be kept secret, especially such shocking news; it spread throughout the village almost instantly.
Su Nanxi merely raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, paying little attention as she focused on fiddling with her soap and didn't want to distract herself from her important matter.
Mo Qinghe didn't react at all. It had nothing to do with him anyway, so why bother with it?
The rest of the Mo family sighed in disbelief. Appearances can be deceiving! No one knows if someone is a human or a demon!
Finally, all eyes were focused on Mo Yunmei.
Mo Yunmei was enjoying her meal when she suddenly noticed strong beams of light shining towards her from all around, and there was more than one. When she looked up, she was so frightened that she couldn't even hold her chopsticks.
She asked tremblingly, "W-what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Upon hearing this, the rest of the Mo family sighed in unison, looked away, and ate their food. There was no hope; they shouldn't waste their good mood.
Mo Yunmei was bewildered. What was going on? She wasn't saying anything, and she didn't know how to read minds. How could she know what someone said just by looking at her?
Never mind, the food is so delicious and the dishes smell so good, let's eat our fill first!
Seeing Mo Yunmei so carefree, everyone was unsure whether it was a blessing or a curse, and felt somewhat depressed.
"Mute girl, what are you doing? I see you've tried several times. Do you need our help?"
Seeing that Su Nanxi had tried many times without success, Qin felt a little sorry for her and was afraid that she would be upset, so she asked her what was wrong.
Su Nanxi paused for a moment, looked up at Qin Shi with a smile, and shook her head to indicate that she didn't need help. She had already finished, and it should be successful in theory, but it would take two days to confirm.
When Qin saw her smile, she thought it must be done, so she didn't ask any further questions. Although she didn't know what she was working on, she had a feeling it was something good.
Don't ask why; she trusts her intuition, and it's always right. The mute girl always manages to surprise people.
When the merchant who came to buy rice noodles came again, he noticed that a young man's rice noodles were particularly good. He paid more attention to him and learned that the young man's name was Qin Youming. He made a mental note of him and told him to continue making rice noodles like that, and he would buy as many as he wanted!
Qin Youming was overjoyed, grinning like a fool. "I don't know if my rice noodles are up to standard, so I only brought some. I have two more baskets at home. If you want them, I'll go back and get them right away."
The merchant wasn't Chen Liang, but someone Chen Liang sent. He called himself Uncle Hong and told Qin Youming to go back and get it, saying he could wait a bit.
Qin Youming happily ran back as fast as he could, afraid of delaying the important person's time, so he preferred to be tired himself rather than make the important person wait for him.
Uncle Hong greatly admired the young man and couldn't help but take a closer look. Hmm, he's good-looking and so ambitious; he's a promising talent!
Qin Youming was unaware that he had caught the eye of a powerful figure, and that Uncle Hong even wanted to mentor him. He was very happy at the moment because he had finally received the money!
His hard work was ultimately worthwhile. He should continue to work hard, make the rice noodles better and better, earn more money, get married and have children, and his life will be complete.
Those in the village who hadn't learned how to make rice noodles now felt regretful seeing others making money. They wished they had learned it back then. Who knew that there would actually be people buying their rice noodles and that it was really possible to make money!
Look, the people in the village who have learned to make rice noodles are now making them up to standard, and merchants are buying them as many as they can get!
There are quite a few people making rice noodles this time, and the village chief's family alone has sold quite a lot. Look at how the village chief is smiling, his mustache is twitching, and his eyes are squinting into slits.
The village's small workshops are almost finished, but they still need some improvements before they can be put into production. So everyone in the village is still doing their own thing, taking the opportunity to make more money.
Other people who come to Changna Village to visit relatives and friends all consider it an honor to get rice noodles, because not everyone can get them! The purchase price is quite high!
That day, Qin Youming came to the Mo family and brought a basket of wild fruits.
"I... I didn't know what to give you. Seeing how much you love wild fruits, I went up the mountain to pick some. They may not look very pretty, but they are quite sweet."
Grandma Mo accepted it, saying, "Oh dear, you've come all this way, why be so polite! You're so busy all day, how could you possibly have time to go up the mountain? Don't do this next time, okay? We appreciate your thoughtfulness, we'll remember it."
He grabbed one, wiped it casually, and popped it into his mouth. "Mmm, delicious, quite sweet! Thank you so much for bringing it all this way."
Seeing that Grandma Mo genuinely enjoyed it, Qin Youming's initial nervousness and fear gradually disappeared. He smiled and said, "It's not far, just a few steps. We'll be there soon. I'm happy that you like it. I'll pick some more next time I see it."
Grandma Mo deliberately put on a stern face, "That's too much trouble. You'll be exhausted running back and forth. You have to do everything by yourself. Just come and visit your sister when you have time. Don't go through all that trouble, okay?"
Qin Youming's eyes reddened, and he nodded, "Okay."
Grandma Mo asked him to stay for dinner, but he declined, saying he had other things to do and left in a hurry.
There was nothing we could do but let him go back.
Not long after, more people from the Mo family arrived.
Wang came again with Zhou Yuzhu, and a girl was with her.
This time, Wang came for the rice noodle workshop in Changna Village. She had heard that rice noodles could be exchanged for money and that they were not particularly difficult to make; anyone could learn them if they put their heart into it, so she decided to try it.
I brought my daughter along for a visit. We took a stroll around Changna Village and got a pretty good idea of what it was like. We stopped by the Mo family's place to chat with Grandma Mo.
Old Madam Mo was naturally welcoming and invited them into the main room. She asked Madam Qin to brew a pot of tea and Madam Zhao to bring up some pastries.
Seeing Zhou Yuzhu looking around as if searching for someone, Old Lady Mo smiled and said, "The mute girl is fiddling with something inside; she won't come out until she's finished. Your cousins are busy and won't have time for a while. Why don't you sit down and have some tea to quench your thirst? Oh, by the way, what's this young lady's name?"
Wang took a sip of tea, feeling much more at ease. Only then did she remember that there was someone with her who hadn't been introduced yet. She slapped her forehead and smiled sheepishly, "Look at me, I was so busy drinking tea! This girl is called Qiu Huiling. She's a new resident of our village. She's a very nice person. When she heard I was coming to Changna, she wanted to come and see for herself."
Grandma Mo naturally welcomed the girl warmly, but she inexplicably felt that the girl was not a kind person. However, she did not ask any questions and simply told the girl to be polite and have tea and pastries.
Qiu Huiling responded with a very polite smile and thanked Grandma Mo.
After finishing her work, Zhao came to find Old Lady Mo.
"My benefactor? My benefactor! It's me!"
