Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

Chapter 28

Some villagers saw Qinghe driving a weak donkey back home, and some were envious and some were jealous. They all wanted to know how Qinghe made enough money to open up wasteland, build houses, and buy donkey carts in just a few days. They wished they could bring some to their own families. At this time, some people could not sit still and went to find the village chief.

Qinghe drove the donkey cart back home. When Qin saw the donkey, she realized that it was the one Qinghe bought. The donkey was too tired to stand up after walking from the town to home. It was so weak that she might not be able to keep it alive. As she spoke, she wanted to go find Doctor Wang and the other doctor to see it. Qinghe felt amused. She knew medical skills, but had her cheap mother forgotten about them?

"Mom, it's okay. Did you forget that I can treat it? I'll give it some herbs later." Qinghe gave the donkey some spiritual spring water. The donkey, which was originally lying on the ground tired, wagged its tail with a look of comfort and rubbed against Qinghe little by little, as if to please her. Qinghe touched the donkey's head and said with a smile: "Be obedient, I'll give you something delicious." The donkey wagged its tail even more happily after hearing this.

When Aunt Chen heard that Qinghe had returned, she hurried home to work. When she saw the donkey cart, she felt that after the separation, the lives of the Chu family were getting better and better. She felt envious. Now that she was working with Qinghe, her income was also high. She made up her mind to work hard, and her family's life would get better and better.

Seeing that it was time for Qingyue to finish school, Qinghe went to Xiaao Village to pick Qingyue up and take him home. Qingyue had attended the private school for a day and had adapted well to the situation. The teacher praised him for his diligence, quick learning and good results, and said he was a promising talent. Qingyue was very excited along the way and recited what he had learned to his sister while walking.

After returning home, Qingyue was even more excited when he saw the newly bought donkey cart. He took the pastries given by his sister and couldn't help going to the headman's house to play with Zhang Xiaolin and show off his donkey cart.

At this time, Aunt Chen had packed up the offal and made an appointment with Qin to go to Old Chu's house in the evening and then went back. Qinghe then remembered that Chu Qingmei was going to get married tomorrow. According to the custom in the village, families with daughters would go to the daughter's house to celebrate when other families' daughters got married. In order to avoid gossip and for the sake of the two daughters, Qin still had to send some gifts as dowry.

The braised meat was put into the pot, Qinghe kneaded the dough and let it rise, and made pork stewed with cabbage, tomato and egg, and stir-fried beans. After the braised meat was out of the pot, she cut a plate of braised meat, heated oil in a pan, added chopped green onions and stir-fried until fragrant, then added water and started to roll out noodles. The water boiled just right for the noodles to be rolled out. A pot of fragrant noodles was out of the pot, and the fragrance was everywhere. If you live in the village, many people will feel that they have smelled the delicious food of the world.

The family was having dinner when Aunt Chen came to Qin with some food to ask her to go to Lao Chu's house. With Qin's enthusiastic offer, Aunt Chen ate some braised meat and praised the delicious taste of the braised meat. No wonder Qinghe could sell the braised meat to Yuelai Restaurant, the best restaurant in town.

After dinner, Qin took a three-foot cloth and a handkerchief and prepared to go to Old Chu's house. Qing He was worried about Qin and planned to follow Qin and Aunt Chen to add makeup for Chu Qingmei, but then she saw the head of the village coming back with Qing Yue. Seeing that they were about to leave, she said, "He girl, Grandpa wants to talk to you about something. Do you have time to talk now?"

Thinking that the head of the village must have something to do, I said to him, "Grandpa head of the village, if you have anything to say, please tell me. I am free."

The village head coughed awkwardly and said, "He girl, everyone has seen the recent changes in your family. We are all very grateful to you for letting everyone open up wasteland to earn money to supplement the family income. In addition, the construction of this house will start soon. We are all very grateful to you."

After saying that, the head of the village looked at Qinghe and continued, "You know the situation in our village. In a good year, we can't even fill our stomachs after paying taxes and exchanging coarse grains. We have to eat wild vegetable porridge for two meals a day. In a bad year, it's even worse. Life is hard! Grandpa saw that you did things in moderation after the separation of the family, and your life has not fallen on the ground, but has been getting better and better. Today, grandpa is willing to risk his old face and ask on behalf of everyone, do you have any way to make some money with us?"

Qing He pondered for a moment and said to the village head: "Grandpa Village Head, our family was separated before, and the uncles, aunts and wives in the village took good care of us. We are very grateful to everyone, so I told my parents that if I have the ability, I can lead everyone. This is also the reason why we use people from our village to open up wasteland and build houses. After our house is built, we will start to do it. But when the time comes, I will trouble you to check the personnel. In order to avoid doing bad things with good intentions. I will think about it carefully these few days and come to you later when I am sure."

When the village head heard this, he felt relieved and agreed happily: "Okay, okay, okay, grandpa knows you are a good person. Don't worry, He girl, grandpa thanks you, and the villagers also thank you. If you need anything from grandpa, just tell grandpa, and grandpa will definitely cooperate with you."

After getting the OK, the head of the village went home happily.

Aunt Chen, who witnessed the whole process, was very excited. She was working with Qinghe now and had already benefited from it. In the future, the whole family would probably be able to make money. She was even more grateful to Qinghe and her eyes were burning when she looked at her.

After the head of the village left, Qinghe went to Lao Chu's house with Qin and Aunt Chen. This was their first time there after the family split up. Some villagers had already been there and left, and some had just arrived. The dowry they gave now was basically some pillow skins, bed sheets, fabrics and the like. Those who had a better relationship with them would also give some copper coins, ranging from thirty to fifty cents for the good ones, to two or three cents, eighty or ninety cents for the worse.

When Liu and Qin saw the three people, their faces were filled with contempt and pride.

"Oh, you've never seen an official's wife get married, so you want to come and see the scene. But it's useless to watch this scene. Some people don't have the blessing to marry a future scholar."

"Yes, in the whole Shangao Village, only our childhood sweetheart has this blessing. You can't envy her enough. Don't even think about taking advantage of our childhood sweetheart in the future." Zhou echoed Liu's words, as if Lin Mingze was already a juren.

Qingmei looked at the dowry Qin brought with her and touched her belly with disgust. "You brought these little things here and you still want to curry favor with us in the future. You think it's nice and you don't mind it. In the future, we will be in heaven and earth. Don't envy me. Who made you have a paralyzed father? Unlike me, there are also scholars in my family. As the saying goes, it's a good match. Brother Mingze, how can a country girl like you dream of it!"

"I say, Old Chu's family, you think the things are too few, and if you don't want them, just throw them away. Do you think everyone is willing to add to your dowry? With the character of your family, we all think it's dirty. You come here to add to your dowry just for the face of the whole village." Aunt Chen couldn't help but retort to them.

The other few who added makeup didn’t give much either, and they felt quite embarrassed for a moment.
