Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

Mr. Ma interrupted them and said worriedly, "Girl, the wound on your hand has festered. I want to dig it out. But I don't have any numbing powder right now. Can you bear the pain?"

Qingzhu's eyes were firm: "Yes, Master, I can do it."

Yu Jinan felt a little reluctant. The pain of having flesh dug out was unbearable, not to mention her as a child, even few adults could endure it.

"Aye, is there any other medicine that can be used as a substitute? Or maybe a knockout drug would be fine, that way she would feel much better." Yu Jinan suggested.

Mr. Ma couldn't bear to see his apprentice suffer this, but he couldn't wait any longer.

"That's fine, but I don't have this medicine here. Where do you get it from?"

Yu Jinan nodded: "Aye, Qingzhu, wait for me."

He rushed out to find Old Man Yu. He knew his grandfather had some knockout drug, so he didn't need much. Just a little would be enough. He got the drug and immediately returned to give it to Mr. Ma.

"Girl, you will pass out after this medicine takes effect, but don't be afraid and trust the master."

Qingzhu blinked tiredly. She had complete trust in her master. After Qingzhu's accidental fall asleep, Mr. Ma performed the surgery, with Yu Jinan assisting. When Qingzhu regained consciousness, a full day had passed.

Yu Jinan came in with rice soup and medicine juice. Seeing that Qingzhu had woken up, he quickly put the things aside.

"Sister Qingzhu, you're finally awake. We were all so worried. Mr. Ma came several times a day to take your pulse, and Grandfather also sent people to check on you several times a day. Are you still feeling any pain?"

Yu Jinan chattered while observing Qingzhu.

Qingzhu smiled and said, "I'm fine, but I'm still in some pain. It's hard for you to treat the victims, sort out the villages and towns, and still have to divide your attention to take care of me."

"Why are you being so polite? You are Mr. Ma's apprentice, and your grandfather loves you as his grandchild. We treat you as our sister. Isn't it our duty to take care of our own family?" After saying that, he took the medicine he had brought and fed it to her.

"You should have a good sleep. You don't have to worry about the rest. We will be able to go home in ten days or so. The officials from the imperial court who are responsible for disaster relief have arrived. The prefects and military governors have also sent people here. We can return to normal life."

After Yu Jinan settled Qingzhu, he went out.

Everyone had been tense for the past half month, but now that the situation was improving, they relaxed a bit. They would return to Chenjia Village as soon as Qingzhu's injury healed.

Chenjia Village had recovered well and was back to its former bustle. The Chen family was delighted to receive a letter from Old Man Yu, saying he would be back in a few days, and that he had prepared many things for them.

The village school and Mr. Ma's new house have been mostly rebuilt in the past half month, and will be completed in another month or so. There are more villagers helping with the construction than before, and many of them are volunteers from other villages, who come without asking for any money just to contribute their labor.

"Ah~Ah~Ah~" Qing Ning sat by the river, looking at the water, supporting her head with her hands and sighing.

Guo Xian saw her from afar and found her adorable. As he got closer, he saw her sorrowful face and chuckled, "Little girl, why are you always acting like an adult? What's the matter that makes you sigh so much? Tell me."

Qing Ning heard the laughter, turned around and saw it was Guo Xian, grinning, "Hey, Sister Xian, why are you here?"

"I was just walking around with nothing to do, and when I saw you sitting here, I came over to take a look." He said without caring and sat down beside her.

Qing Ning said, "I made some money before, thinking I could do something good, but who would have thought that after this disaster, the money would just flow out like water. I was planning to build a new house and workshop this year, but I just checked and found that there's not much money left in my money box."

These require money, and we also need to prepare the goods from Xu Minglang. It has been delayed for a long time and cannot be delayed any longer.

Guo Xian asked, "How much more is left?"

Qing Ning said, "We are still short of eight hundred taels."

How come this money is so hard to spend? It looks like a lot, but when something goes wrong, the money just runs away like it has legs.

Guo Xian thought for a moment and said, "I can't come up with these eight hundred taels right now, but if we can pool our money, we can get it. Wait for me to go find some brothers and get the money for you."

Although they were rich, eight hundred taels was not a small amount. They had not yet married and all they had was the monthly allowance given by their family.

Qing Ning hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Sister Xian'an, I don't need you to chip in the money. This is a family matter. I don't have any money here, but I still have my father and uncle to help me. If my family can't chip in, can I ask Sister Xian'an for help?"

"But if your family takes out all the money, where will the money be used for circulation?" Guo Xian asked.

"It's okay. At worst, the house can just be moved to a later date. We'll just focus on other people's goods and workshops first." Qing Ning had already thought it through, but couldn't help but sigh about how hard it was to make money.

Seeing that she insisted, Guo Xian let her go and told her that she could talk to her no matter what the problem was.

Qing Ning said yes repeatedly, and then pulled Guo Xian home.

After dinner, Qing Ning called everyone in the family, including Shi Shuanghu's family. He explained the current situation to them and explained his plan to them.

Old Lady Chen was the first to say, "I have no money here, you can take it all."

"Yes, little sister, although we don't have much, it is enough to deal with the emergency." Chen Qingsong and his brothers also said hurriedly.

Qing Ke directly brought over the box where she had put the money and said, "Little sister, here are all my money. Take it and use it."

Everyone was very generous, even Shi Shuanghu's family took out some money, saying it was for her urgent use.

Qing Ning's heart was filled with warmth, and she was truly touched. She looked at her family and said, "I don't want any of your brothers' money. Your studies are more important right now, so keep this money for yourselves. Keep your uncle's money, and I'll borrow half from your grandma's. I'll also borrow half from your father and uncle's. As for the capital for the goods that you left behind, I'll also borrow half from the rest. That should be enough."

Some money should be left for emergencies, and not all of it should be used. If something were to happen, where would we find the money? Although life is better now, we are not rich yet.

Everyone wanted to persuade him, but Qing Ning had made up his mind and ignored everything else, so they had no choice but to give up.

I went to find Yu San, Changshui and others and told them the goods Xu Minglang wanted. However, since they were busy building houses in the village and had to deliver the goods in time, I just asked them to find more people.

The town's Shizhen Pavilion had also sent a message, saying that in addition to its own braised food business, the ingredients needed for the shop were also being sorted and delivered as soon as possible. With normality restored and people feeling relaxed and at ease, Ruyi County's vitality was recovering even faster and better than she had imagined.
