"Sisi girl, it's great to meet you. Do you have any money on you? Can you lend us some? We'll return it to you when we get back!"

The village head also saw Zhou Sisi at this time, and the two of them immediately trotted towards her and asked to borrow money.

"Uncle Lizheng, Auntie, what happened?"

"I don't have much money with me, how much do you want to borrow?"

Zhou Sisi did not refuse right away. She still had to give face to the head of the village. However, as for lending money, she had to see how much money these two people wanted to borrow.

"Sisi, this is what happened. Liu Qin's youngest son had a high fever, so we borrowed a bullock cart out of kindness to bring the three of them to the clinic here for treatment. But we didn't expect Liu Qin to go back on her word. Now that we have no money to pay for the medicine, they have confiscated the bullock cart from us!"

"This ox cart belongs to Sun Erzhu. If we don't return it, how can your uncle and I face other people?"

"They lent the car to Liu Qinshi out of our respect, but we didn't expect this to happen!"

The wife of the village head, Song Dahua, had a face full of complaints. She was so angry that she punched her husband several times, and her anger subsided a little.

When Zhou Sisi heard what this was, she couldn't help but laugh. She had originally intended to do a good deed, but ended up getting trapped.

So when doing good things, we should also consider who the other person is. We can't just do all good things.

"Then how much do you want to borrow? Is this money borrowed by you? Or is it borrowed by the Liu family? This needs to be made clear!"

"Aunt, you know that I won't repay evil with kindness!"

"If you borrowed this money, I will lend it to you. If the Liu family borrowed it, no!"

The head of the village and his wife were stunned at first, and then their faces turned unhappy. They were all from the same village, so how could Sisi calculate it so clearly?

But if you think about it carefully, what Zhou Sisi said is not wrong. After all, Liu Qinshi had come to the Zhou family to curse people before. Zhou Sisi is not a good person, so it is reasonable for her not to lend money to Liu Qinshi.

But if they borrowed this money, wouldn't they have to pay it back? The three of the Liu family would have to spend a total of fifteen taels of silver, which was not a small amount of money.

The two began to hesitate, wondering whether to lend the money or not!

"Uncle Lizheng, Auntie, I advise you to ask Liu Qinshi to write you an IOU, sign and stamp it, and then ask the owner of the clinic to testify. If she doesn't pay it back, report her to the authorities and sue her."

"I'm sure she wouldn't give up her eldest son's path to the imperial examination just for this little bit of money!"

Zhou Sisi said this deliberately because she saw a purple dress peeking out at the corner of the clinic's door. She recognized that it was Liu Qinshi's dress and that the woman was eavesdropping on their conversation.

Liu Qin was so angry that her teeth were itching. She didn't expect that this little bitch Zhou Sisi had so many tricks up her sleeve.

She had originally intended to make the village head and his wife swallow their anger and pay the silver, but she didn't expect that they didn't bring any money, and their ox cart was confiscated.

"What if she is unwilling to sign and put her fingerprints on it?" Song Dahua was very confused for a moment. This was fifteen taels of silver, not a small amount.

Her family only has that much money for a year without eating or drinking. If she were to bear the bill, she would not be able to survive!

"Aunt, are you confused? If she doesn't sign, I'll find someone to help you get the ox cart back. I know the owner Jiang of Songhe Restaurant. What are you afraid of?"

"After we get the ox cart back, you and the village head will drive it home. Don't get involved in other people's business from now on."

"As for them, if they don't pay, the clinic will report them to the authorities. In the end, they might get beaten up, and it will also affect Liu Changwen's imperial examination. You know, the county magistrate is required to write a letter of recommendation for this imperial examination."

"Her family has already owed her money and she won't pay it back. Who would write a letter of recommendation for her? She still wants to take the imperial examination and become an official. She can only dream on!"

The more Zhou Sisi spoke, the brighter Song Dahahua's eyes became. This Sisi girl was really smart. Liu Qinshi was counting on her eldest son to pass the imperial examination, so how could she be willing to ruin his path to success?

Liu Qinshi broke out in cold sweats after hearing this. She had no choice but to pay the money. The family was counting on her eldest son to pass the imperial examination, and she couldn't let this incident ruin her son's future. So she took out the silver note from her bosom and paid the bill decisively.

Seeing that the purple dress at the corner had disappeared, Zhou Sisi knew that Liu Qin must have gone to pay the bill. She had known for a long time that Liu Qin was rich.

In the original owner's memory, she saw men giving her money more than once. It was impossible that she didn't even have money for medical treatment.

"Uncle head of the village, auntie, I'm leaving first. I guess you don't need to borrow money from me!" Zhou Sisi nodded and motioned for them to look back.

The head of the village and his wife immediately turned around and saw Liu Qinshi carrying Liu Changwu on her back, followed by Liu Xiaolian with her head wrapped and holding medicine in her hand. It seemed that the bill had been settled.

The head of the village and his wife were so angry that they almost vomited blood. It seemed that they were really being made fun of. They immediately swore in their hearts that no matter what happened to the Liu family in the future, they would not care.

Regardless of whether Liu Changwen will be an official in the future, they have decided not to care about the Liu family's affairs anymore.

Zhou Sisi ruined Liu Qin's plan, and happily took Xiao Wang to the blacksmith shop, and bought two axes, two sickles, and two hoes for the family. She thought that even if her grandmother wanted to join a gang fight, these would be enough.

When she returned home, she carried half a bucket of clams into her room, asked everyone not to disturb her while she was doing the experiment, and then closed her door.

"It's so mysterious, what kind of experiment can be done with river clams?" Mrs. Zhou muttered softly, but her hands immediately closed the door to prevent anyone without eyes from entering her yard and disturbing her granddaughter's experiment.

Zhou Sisi dived into her own space, poured the clams in the bucket onto the ground, then filled the bucket with spiritual spring water, and began to search for scientific knowledge applicable to freshwater pearl oyster farming in her mind.

She remembered that the mantle of the river clam was stimulated by the invasion of foreign objects, preferably foreign objects such as sand. The epidermal cells at the stimulated area used the foreign objects as nuclei, and the pearl sac cells secreted nacre, which covered the nucleus layer by layer to form a pearl.

Zhou Sisi took out the prepared sharp bamboo sticks and a handful of fine sand. These were what Zhou Sisi asked Xiao Wang to pick up from the river on the way back.

Give it a try. If it works, it works. If not, forget it. It’s also nice to eat some river clam meat.

So Zhou Sisi took action, carefully prying open the clam's shell with a dagger, revealing a small hole, and then quickly used a thin bamboo stick dipped in sand to gently poke the edge of the clam along the shell, and then threw the clam into the bucket filled with spiritual spring water.

Then the moment of witnessing a miracle came. The palm-sized river clam grew bigger and bigger in the bucket. Just when the bucket was about to burst, Zhou Sisi quickly fished the clam out.

The grown river clam was cut open in no time, and seven or eight off-white pearls as big as peas lay quietly on the edge of the clam shell.

"Hahahaha! I succeeded, yeah!" Zhou Sisi jumped up on the spot.

The next step is to study the color of the pearls. A single color is definitely not enough, but how can the pearls change color?

The book says that only the color of saltwater pearls is naturally formed according to the type of shellfish, and each shell will only have one pearl, but a river clam can produce seven, eight or even more freshwater pearls at once, which is a high yield.

Forget about the seawater pearls. She is still a long way from the sea, so she shouldn't bother with that. She can make a fortune by focusing on the freshwater pearls.

Zhou Sisi then experimented with several river clams. She found that the color of the freshwater pearls was related to the shape of the clams. It was probably a problem with the type of clams. She couldn't figure out the difference between these clams. She only knew that the pearls produced by the triangular clams were light purple and light pink.

The pearls from the round clams are mostly milky white, with occasional light orange and rose colors, and these colors are actually enough.

Black and gold ones can only grow from specific sea shells, so she can forget about it.

Zhou Si thought about buying a pond, cultivating pearls and raising some fish, and pouring the diluted spiritual spring water into the pond to speed up the growth of the fish and clams in the pond without causing them to get sick. This way, not only would he have fish to eat, but he could also get pearls to sell for money. Hahahaha, it was simply a golden idea.

Just do it if you want to do it, this is Zhou Sisi's rhythm.
