Ying Wangzhu and Ying Shuangsong went to the village chief's house early in the morning, but they haven't come back yet. Settling in is not that fast. They still need to go to the county office, which will inevitably take more time.
Fortunately, Huang Xuecao stuffed a pancake for them when they left, so that they would not feel hungry on the way.
You can satisfy your hunger even if you are hungry.
As for what Ying Qingci brought back, he kept it for making soup at noon.
"My dear, there is still porridge in the pot, specially reserved for you."
At this time, Huang Xuecao remembered that Ying Qingci had not eaten breakfast, so she quickly ran to the kitchen and brought out a bowl of white gruel.
Ying Qingci looked at her helplessly, "Grandma, are you turning on the stove for me again?"
You can tell at a glance that the porridge in this bowl is all polished rice, with no brown rice at all.
"No way! It's good if they have something to eat!"
Huang Xuecao glanced at Ying Shuangzhu, who was repairing the thatched roof, with a flash of disgust in his eyes.
Ying Shuangzhu naturally heard his mother's disgust, and had to smile awkwardly at Ying Qingci. In his mother's eyes, Ying Qingci was probably the only one in the family who was cute.
As for the others, none of them gave her any peace of mind.
Ying Qingci reached out to take it and looked at Huang Xuecao helplessly, "Nai, you don't have to cook a small stove for me next time. We can all eat together. Besides, we can just buy it after we have finished the food at home!"
Speaking of this, Ying Qingci took out a one hundred tael silver note from his sleeve and handed it to Huang Xuecao.
"Milk, keep this."
"what is this?"
Huang Xuecao was illiterate, and she didn't recognize banknotes even when she was so old. The biggest money she had ever seen was a silver ingot. Now the banknote Ying Qingci took out looked like a piece of paper to her.
Before, she seemed to have seen... the banknote that Ying Qing handed to the head of Qingyang Village... seemed to be exactly the same as the one she took out now? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but take a breath.
"My dear, isn't this a bank note?"
"Yes, milk, this is a one hundred tael silver note."
"What? One hundred taels?"
Huang Xuecao screamed in surprise, and then slowed down her voice. She looked around and found that there was no stranger. Then she looked at Ying Qingci cautiously, "One hundred taels?"
In her memory, she had only seen it once before. Now she saw the hundred taels of silver notes that Ying Qingci took out, and she was really shocked.
"My dear, where did you get so much money?"
She had already spent 60 taels of silver to buy the land before, and now she took out another 100 taels of silver notes. This did not include the silver notes that Ying Qing used to buy things when she resigned from Quling Mansion...
Thinking of this, Huang Xuecao swallowed subconsciously and looked at her in surprise.
Seeing her grandma's cautious look, Ying Qingci couldn't help but feel amused, "Nai, don't worry, these are the rewards for saving that person before."
"That man... is that rich?"
Huang Xuecao recalled Nan Xiangyun's appearance. No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't tell that he looked like a rich man.
Nan Xiangyun:......
Thank you very much.
"Then how could he...become like that?"
After all, no one would have thought that a decent and wealthy person would become so embarrassed.
"Nai, he was being hunted by his enemies at that time. It's worth using the money to buy his life."
In order to appease Huang Xuecao's fluctuating heart at the moment, Ying Qingci had no choice but to say this, which was also true.
"Anyway, just accept this money with peace of mind. There will be a lot of money left at home in the future, and it all depends on you!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Xuecao straightened her back. She didn't dare to say anything else, but she was still very confident about this boss. At the very least, the family would never spend a penny more.
"Be good, how about you keep part of it?"
With so much money, she actually didn't know what to expect.
"Milk, please accept it with peace of mind. If I need money, I'll ask you for it."
"Okay, then I'll accept it. If you want money, just ask me."
At this moment, Huang Xuecao's heart had wandered. If anyone else had said this to her, she would have scolded them long ago. How could they be so amiable?
Besides, this money was originally earned by her family, so of course it would be spent by her family. Even if her family didn't spend it, she would save it for her and keep it as a dowry in the future!
Naturally, Ying Qingci would not know what Huang Xuecao was thinking. Even if he did, he could only smile helplessly.
…
Qingyang Village was also very quiet during the day. Ying Qingci was carrying a hare in a basket on her back and walking on the road in the center of the village. As she walked back and forth, the eyes of the villagers fell on her involuntarily.
There is doubt, there is calmness, there is also a hint of anger... all kinds of expressions.
When they arrived at the village chief's house, Ying Qingci reached out and looked at the door bolt of the village chief's house, and soon a sound came from inside.
"Who!"
It was a woman's voice.
Then, she saw a middle-aged woman wearing a blue coarse cloth dress coming out of the house. Her hands seemed to be stained with water, and she was reaching out to wipe her clothes.
After seeing her, a flash of doubt flashed in the woman's eyes, and then a smile appeared on her face. "You are the little daughter of the Ying family, right? My old man mentioned it to me before."
She happened to go back to her parents' home when the Ying family came yesterday, so she didn't see the Ying family. But after she came back, the village chief Xu Chuanqiang told her everything. He also said that there was a little girl in the Ying family, but she was very courageous. , and actually bought twenty acres of wasteland in one go.
When she saw her today, Qin Chunhua had never seen her before. Thinking of the little girl from the Ying family, she immediately thought of Ying Qingci.
Seeing the confusion on the little girl's face, Qin Chunhua quickly reached out and patted her forehead and spoke with a smile.
"Look at me, I forgot to mention that the village chief is from my family."
"Hello, aunt."
"Good boy, don't be so polite, just call me Aunt Qin."
Qin Chunhua was kind-hearted and spoke without any airs. She did not look down on others because she was the village chief's wife, nor was she hostile to them because they were foreign residents.
"Aunt Qin."
"Hey, come on, let's do it inside."
Before, Qin Chunhua bought twenty acres of wasteland without blinking an eye because Xu Chuanqiang said this girl. Now when she saw her and saw the child's clear and innocent appearance, she fell in love with her at first sight.
She poured a pot of water and put some sugar cubes in it.
In this era, not many people can greet people with candy.
"Kid, drink some water."
"You can call me Ying Xiaoliu or Qingci."
"Okay, let's call you Xiaoliu."
Ying Qingci smiled and didn't say much, but Qin Chunhua continued, "Xiao Liu, are you here to see my family?"
"Yes, Aunt Qin, is the village chief here?"
"He just went out. It might take a while before he comes back." Before she could speak, she heard Qin Chunhua continue, "If you are anxious, tell me what happened. When he comes back, I will tell him the same thing."
