The Wealthy Eldest Sister Rules Supreme
Chapter 357 - Chapter 357: Chapter 344: Big Gift PackageChapter 357: Chapter 344: Big Gift Package
“Ironically, this boy does have some humanity. He gave me two taels of silver to cause a stir about this matter, to tell everyone about it, promising that anyone who is willing to cause trouble at the doorstep will also be rewarded with silver,”
“I’m guessing the money was probably stolen from Zhuang Yuanzhong’s home, and I suspect Zhuang Yuanzhong must have reported it to the authorities, all the while hoping to save his sister!”
“Well, based on what you said, Zhuang Yuanzhong is somewhat conscientious. He has always bullied Zhuang Qinghe, but at this crucial juncture of life and death, he seems to be the only one still concerned about Zhuang Qinghe’s life.” Someone seconded.
“That’s why they say the face doesn’t reveal the heart. No matter how a person appears in day-to-day life, it doesn’t mean they’ll act the same way in a critical moment. But now I’m a little curious. Isn’t Zhuang Yuanzhong worried about being killed by Zhuang Ruman after pulling off something like this?”
Not only did he mess the whole thing up, but he also destroyed their future prospects at home.
Along with those of Zhuang Yuanren.
Zhuang Ruman, who values money and Zhuang Yuanren’s future more than his own life, would definitely wreak havoc if he found out that Zhuang Yuanzhong was behind all this. The consequences would be unimaginable.
“Don’t worry about this. Now that Zhuang Yuanzhong has pulled this off and stolen the silver, he definitely won’t be coming back,” Mrs. Zhao replied.
“But Zhuang Yuanzhong is still a child. If he doesn’t come back and stay with his parents, where can he live?” Someone asked anxiously.
“Worrying too much, aren’t you? You’re worried about that clever Zhuang Yuanzhong? You might as well worry about yourself instead! Besides, who would want to stay in a family like this, waiting for Zhuang Ruman to sell him? If a father can sell his daughter, he’s definitely capable of selling his son too!” “Exactly, the sooner he leaves, the sooner he frees himself, so who knows? Once he’s away from his family, he might be able to live a peaceful life.”
“Speaking of leaving, I suddenly recall the time when Miss Ning insisted on establishing her own household. She probably saw through all these and was desperate to escape from that family.”
“Indeed, who else but Miss Ning could have foreseen things so clearly?”
“But what I’m wondering is that Zhuang Yuanzhong said if we join him in causing a commotion at Zhuang Ruman’s door, some silver could be shared among us. But we were all there when the fuss started, Mrs. Zhao, shouldn’t you be sharing some silver with us?”
“Yes, yes.”
When someone proposed this, others chimed in in agreement.
Mrs. Zhao glared at everyone, “So all you care about is the silver!”
“Well, to be honest, Zhuang Yuanzhong gave me a total of two taels. I won’t keep this for myself. Tomorrow I’m heading to town to buy some peach cakes, peanut candy, Mahua and so on. Then we can all share these goodies and celebrate Zhuang Ruman getting a taste of justice,” she replied.
“That sounds reasonable. But don’t forget to get some white sugar cakes. The peanut candies are a bit too rich and it’s hot these days. So, some refreshing white sugar cakes would be nice.”
“Well, I think all these treats are too sweet. They might make you feel sick, wouldn’t it be better to buy some pork and make braised pork for everyone to share?”
“Enough with your obsession with meat. Why not exchange the silver for some century eggs at Miss Ning’s place? Then, every family will have something decent to cook, right?”
“That’s a good idea. We can add some tofu skins, and this could support Miss Ning’s business. We can show that we care about her because she cares about us.”
“Exactly.”
For a while, Mrs. Zhao’s courtyard was buzzing with chatter. It was undoubtedly a busy place.
Zhuang Qingning heard these conversations about what Zhuang Yuanzhong had done late in the evening on the same day.
Zhuang Mingliang came to tell her after dinner.
Zhuang Mingliang was very pleased about Zhuang Ruman’s scandal being uncovered. He described it in vivid detail, as if he were narrating an exciting story.
Zhuang Qingsui, listening, felt absolutely thrilled and kept cheering.
Zhuang Qingning nodded slightly after hearing the story.
Not to mention, although Zhuang Yuanzhong is young, he’s highly efficient in carrying out his plans.
In the village, he instructed Mrs. Zhao to stir up trouble while pretending that he had gone to the county town to report to the authorities. He also hired some beggars to loudly broadcast the Kong family’s evil plan of a live silver marriage.
As much as they’d like to hide it, this matter couldn’t be kept secret.
Live silver marriage was strictly forbidden by the law of the imperial court. Since Xu Zhengping and Ding Gaochang were both impartial, this case would undoubtedly be dealt with correctly. The fate of Zhuang Ruman and Mrs. Song could be easily predicted.
The same goes for the Kong family.
Even Zhuang Yuanren, who had accepted the situation, wouldn’t be able to escape his involvement in this.
The whole case would definitely be handled appropriately, and whoever deserves punishment would not be spared.
Judging from what Mrs. Zhao said, would he choose to leave here completely?
Or would he choose to live freely at home after Zhuang Ruman and Mrs. Song were sentenced to labor?
Presumably, all these would be unknown until she saw Zhuang Yuanzhong again.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task of Compassionate Heart. The host has received a large gift package*!.]
A large gift package? What kind of generous reward should she expect in this large gift package for completing such a hateful task?
Zhuang Qingning opened it and took a look.
[The host has obtained a high-efficiency ancient yeast suitable for flour/water.]
Yeast? Isn’t this something that’s used to make steamed buns and bread?
[Yes, the principle of the ancient yeast is to use the fermentation and rapid reproduction of yeast to make the dough fluffy, and this ancient yeast also works on the same principle.]
[The host only needs to inoculate a batch of ancient yeast along with the corresponding special recipe water or flour. After each use, leave a small portion of the mixture to ferment, which can be used the next time as special recipe water or flour.]
[Given enough time to reproduce, the efficacy of the fermented special recipe water and flour can reach the level of each time the host uses the special recipe. This can solve the problem of the host’s need to constantly use the special recipe water or flour.]
[Moreover, the ancient yeast has a preservation function to prevent the starter from spoiling or deteriorating during storage.]
[You can say it is an excellent product necessary for the host to greatly develop the workshop.]
Zhuang Qingning could hear the smug tone in that certain being who said these words.
But she had to admit that this is indeed a good thing..
