Chapter 116: Even While Lying Down, You Get Shot
Liu Ruoling didn't expect her to leave like this. Seeing the light on in her room, she wanted to rush in and argue with her. But in the end, reason prevailed. She just glared at the door hatefully and turned to find Wang Jiaqi.
She really couldn't handle fetching water and chopping wood, so she decided to ask Wang Jiaqi or Wu Shudong for help. She believed that as long as the money was in place, she would have no problem finding someone to help.
"Liu Zhiqing, is there something wrong?" When Wang Jiaqi saw that it was Liu Ruoling, he knew why she came: he heard what she and Qiao Mo said just now.
"Can I come in?" Liu Ruoling didn't want everyone to know about her transaction with Wang Jiaqi.
"I'm alone in the room, so it's not very convenient. If you have anything to say, just talk here."
"It's like this. Chu Maoshen went to Lingyun Mountain to repair the road. I have to feed myself. Other things are easy, but I really can't handle carrying water and chopping wood. So, I want to ask you and Wu Shudong for help. I won't let you work in vain. I'll give you two yuan a day." Liu Ruoling had no choice but to whisper her purpose.
"Isn't this bad?" Wang Jiaqi hesitated. He was still very tempted by the proposal. Two yuan a day would be six yuan a month. He and Wu Shudong could each get three yuan, which was enough to buy several kilograms of food even if they went to the black market.
"There's nothing wrong with it. I pay and you provide paid services. We each get what we need." Liu Ruoling knew there was something going on when she saw his expression.
"I'll discuss it with Wu Shudong and give you an answer tomorrow." Wang Jiayi thought for a while and said that since it was a matter between him and Wu Shudong, he couldn't do it alone.
"Hey, if you guys don't mind, fill up the water tank for me in the morning." Liu Ruoling nodded and went back to the house after saying that. She knew that this was most likely possible, but she felt sad when she thought about having to pay six dollars a month.
It was all Qiao Mo's fault. If she had agreed to live with them, why would she need these extra expenses? Thinking of this, she hated Qiao Mo even more.
Qiao Mo didn't expect that she would be shot while lying down. At this time, she had sunk into the books and was swimming in the ocean of knowledge.
Time passed by minute by minute. When she looked up, the hands on her watch had pointed to nine o'clock. She blew out the light and sat on the bed to practice "The Secret of Herbs and Trees". At midnight, she entered the space again.
She first went to take a look at the black soil behind the bungalow. The rice planted yesterday had already sprouted, and the wheat planted a few days ago had grown to several inches high. It was a lush green and very pleasing to the eye. The apple trees in the garden were both in bloom and in fruit. In short, everything was developing well.
She returned to Pingba and picked all the mushrooms growing in the flowerpots before going to the study to read the "Atlas of Herbal Medicines". She closed the book only when her eyelids started to droop. She stood up, stretched, washed up, and prepared to rest.
Just then, she heard a few low dog barkings coming from outside. She quickly slipped out of the space and spread her spiritual sense to look towards the village.
Soon, she saw a figure hurriedly walking into Changhe's yard.
Zhang He seemed to have known someone was coming: "Why are you so late?"
"Something delayed me, Dad. Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry." The man put a bag heavily on the table.
