Miao Hongjin was eagerly awaiting, and could not be let down.

Having just escaped from a potentially dangerous situation, Zhuang Qingning already had her mind on the affairs of Miao Village. It really was…

Ding Gaochang didn’t know what words to use to describe Zhuang Qingning at the moment, he just felt that her whole image had grown a lot taller, and his admiration for her had increased a notch.

Seeing the stars sparkling in Ding Gaochang’s eyes at this moment, Zhuang Qingning blinked.

She was only itching to develop some new business quickly, to accumulate hard work values, and move towards higher achievements as soon as possible. There was no need to think of her as something grand…

However, seeing Ding Gaochang’s current state, Zhuang Qingning felt that he wouldn’t listen to too many explanations and could only sigh in secret.

“Yes, Miss Zhuang, rest assured.” Ding Gaochang said loudly, “I will send someone to get the sweet potatoes and deliver them to Miss Zhuang.”

“Thank you, Master Ding.” Zhuang Qingning replied with a smile.

“It’s my duty, Miss Zhuang. There’s no need for formalities.” Ding Gaochang said, “After being frightened, you should have a good rest. I will not disturb you any longer and take my leave.”

Zhuang Qingning noticed the dark circles under Ding Gaochang’s eyes and knew that he probably hadn’t slept last night, so she didn’t invite him over for tea.

“Master Ding, take care.”

After Ding Gaochang and the others left, Gancao and others escorted Zhuang Qingning to her front door.

“Thank you, Miss Gancao, for making the trip.” Zhuang Qingning thanked her, “Since we are at the front door, it’s only logical to come in for a cup of tea.” “Miss Zhuang, I appreciate your hospitality. As a servant, I should courteously comply, but there are many things waiting for me in the garden, and I need to hurry back to relay the news.” Gancao kindly declined with a smile.

“In that case, I won’t keep you, Miss Gancao. Please extend my thanks to Master Chu.”

“Miss Zhuang, rest assured, I will certainly convey your message.” Gancao got into the carriage, “I take my leave.”

Zhuang Qingning waved goodbye and only entered her own courtyard after the carriage was out of sight.

Zhuang Qingsui heard some movement and ran out to see that it was Zhuang Qingning. She beamed and threw herself into her arms, “Sister has returned.” “Last night, Master Ding sent someone to deliver a message saying that you had some matters to discuss and wouldn’t return until late. He told me to go to bed early, and asked if I was scared to sleep alone, and if I wanted someone to accompany me.”

Zhuang Qingning had been worried about how to explain her absence last night to Zhuang Qingsui, afraid that she would be overly worried. But it seemed that Ding Gaochang and the others had already thought of this for her.

Since Zhuang Qingsui didn’t know about it, Zhuang Qingning didn’t plan to explain in detail and just smiled, “So how did you end up sleeping last night? Did you call Aunt He to accompany you?”

“No way, I slept alone last night, with Snow Globe for company.” Zhuang Qingsui cuddled the snow globe in her arms with some pride, “I’m a big girl now, I’m not afraid of the dark anymore.”

“Yes, Qingsui is a big girl now.” Zhuang Qingning’s eyes curved in a smile, “Can the grown-up Qingsui say what she plans to have for breakfast?”

“Uh….” Zhuang Qingsui tilted her head, “Egg pancake, pimple soup?”

“Good, I’ll go make it now.” Zhuang Qingning washed her hands and went into the kitchen to get busy.

Zhuang Qingsui put down the snow globe, allowing it to run around in the courtyard while she went to the vegetable plot in the courtyard to pick a few tomatoes.

After the sisters had finished eating, each went about her own business.

Zhuang Qingsui and Zhuang Mingli practiced their writing together, while Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Sifu went to the town to check on the sales of the century eggs over the past few days.

“The sales have been exceptionally good these few days.” Mrs. Cao said with a smile, “Many people have pre-ordered, and we can’t keep up with the demand.” “I heard that many of them are from the county town, specifically having people run all the way here to buy in bulk, and then distribute them after returning.”

In short, the business was very good.

Zhuang Qingning also beamed at the news.

“By the way, regarding that person who wanted to partner with us to open a shop in the county town, I’ve pushed him off as you suggested. Some people think we’re not interested in partnering with outsiders at all.”

“Others say that we’ve become complacent with our booming business, and that despite our small front, we’re carrying a big frame, constantly talking behind our backs. But whatever the reason, many people have stopped asking about business matters these past few days.”

“There was one young man, who seemed very scholarly and didn’t look like a businessman at all. At first, I thought he was just talking casually, but these past few days, he’s been coming by regularly to inquire. He seems sincere, and even says his family owns several shops in the county city, and is not a novice in business.”

“I wasn’t sure, so I wanted to ask you, to see how we should respond to him.”

If this person is experienced in business, and could help her think through many things, like Zhuang Yutian and Mrs. Meng, it would be best. She wouldn’t need to worry at all, and could just focus on controlling the speed and quality of goods supply.

And just like Mrs. Cao described, if he’s sincere, it means he values and respects this matter, which is enough to show that he is likely a humble and polite person who can be worked with.

It sounds like a pretty good business partner.

But whether he’s good enough still needs a direct interaction.

Zhuang Qingning thought for a moment and said, “Auntie, let’s look a bit longer. If he can come two more times, let’s say we’ll discuss this matter with him the day after tomorrow. You could send me a message when Brother Sifu comes back.”

“Alright.” Mrs. Cao replied with a smile.

Immediately afterward, she lowered her voice and said, “Miss Ning, have you heard about what happened at Fushun Tower these days while you’ve been busy?”

“What happened?”

Could it be that this Feng Yongkang is making trouble again?

Zhuang Qingning’s eyebrows furrowed at the thought.

“I heard that Feng, the shop manager of Fushun Tower, was scared and came down with a high fever, talking nonsense.” Mrs. Cao said, “He said his house has been haunted by unclean things, and he dares not go out alone when it gets dark. He lights up the room with candles and oil lamps, and needs someone to accompany him.”

“He also said that there was someone knocking on the door outside, but when his family went out to check, they saw nothing. Feng was hiding in his bed with a blanket, and he didn’t even dare to show his head even though it’s the peak of summer.”

“It is said that those who do nothing wrong, fear no ghosts knocking at their door. Mr. Feng being scared like this, probably indicates a guilty conscience.” Zhuang Qingning said.

“Isn’t that so? People in town say that Feng went too far and even heaven couldn’t stand it anymore.” Mrs. Cao nodded thoughtfully, “This goes to show that one should never do anything wrong, otherwise their conscience will be haunted, and they’ll see everything as unclean.”

“But it’s good this way. After Feng instigated people to make a mess in our shop last time, perhaps this incident would have deterred him from making more trouble..”
