Chapter 79 - 79 Thank You to Everyone
79 Thank You to Everyone
When Jian Qingqing returned, she was seen by many workers and villagers who had gone out to look for her. Therefore, when they saw that she had returned, they did not continue looking and all returned to the village.
When Jian Qingqing arrived, they were busy clearing the land. Ma Jiacai was worried about her, so he had been waiting for her at the village entrance.
When he saw that she had come, he quickly went forward and asked, “Miss Jian, are you alright?”
Jian Qingqing smiled and nodded. “I’m fine. Thank you for your concern, Uncle Ma.”
Ma Jiacai chuckled and said, “It’s good that you’re alright.”
Seeing that everyone was busy, Jian Qingqing did not want to make a big fuss and called them over.
She took out six taels of silver and handed it over to Ma Jiacai, she said, “Uncle Ma, this is six taels of silver. The people who went out to search together with you today will each have 30 wen. As for the rest, you can make some delicious food and have a good meal.”
Today, under her call, there were about 100 people who went out to help search for them. This amount of money was enough to split among everyone.
Ma Jiacai refused to accept it. “How can that be? We didn’t help much.”
Jian Qingqing forcefully stuffed the money bag into his hands, she said, “Uncle Ma, listen to me. This money is not only for you. I have long promised to give the villagers money. When they go out to look for them, I will give them the money. It will have delayed their efforts and used up their time even if they don’t find them. It is only right and proper to receive some money. Just take it. Otherwise, I won’t dare to ask you for help next time.”
Since Jian Qingqing had already said so, Ma Jiacai had no choice but to agree.
“Alright, I’ll accept it on their behalf this time. The next time you come to us for help, you can’t give us money.”
“Okay, thank you, Uncle Ma. Help me thank them properly.”
Jian Qingqing drove the ox-cart away. When she returned to Ji Shan Hall, Xiao Hu was already awake. Seeing that she had returned, he looked at her with a sour expression. “Sister!”
Although Jian Qingqing felt sorry for him, she still wanted to teach him a lesson. She looked at him with a sour expression. “Let’s see if you dare to be reckless in the future. Do you know your mistake?”
Xiao Hu nodded his head with a wronged expression. “I know my mistake.”
Jian Qingqing touched his bruised face and sighed. “Rest well.”
At this moment, Jian Qingqing noticed Ming Zhiyan who was standing at the side. She said in surprise, “Lord Ming, have you finished investigating the case?”
Ming Zhiyan nodded and explained the situation of the case to her.
After listening to it, Jian Qingqing was extremely angry. She tried to suppress her anger a few times, but she still could not suppress it.
She said angrily, “Bah! What the hell! They don’t know how to make money, but they could think of such unscrupulous methods! I can smell the stench of their braised meat from afar. Dogs won’t even eat it! Lazy and stupid trash!”
She was always relaxed in front of Ming Zhiyan. This was the first time he saw her so angry. No matter how he looked at it, he felt a sense of joy when a small person said something that did not fit her image, he could not help but stifle his laughter.
When Wei Wusheng saw it, she complained, “Sister, he is laughing at you.”
Wei Wusheng did not like Ming Zhiyan at first sight and felt that he was very good at acting. The evil in his eyes was about to spill out, but he pretended to be a gentleman and lied to a young lady. He was full of hypocrisy!
Jian Qingqing noticed that she actually lost control and cursed in front of so many people. She said awkwardly, “I’m sorry, I couldn’t hold it in.”
Ming Zhiyan tried to cover it up by coughing lightly. “It’s nothing. Then I’ll take my leave first.”
“Okay, see you next time.” Jian Qingqing waved at him.
Turning around, she saw Xiao Ye and Xiao Hu looking at her in a daze. She raised her eyebrows and said, “What’s wrong?”
The two brothers hurriedly lowered their heads and stammered, “Nothing. It’s just that this is the first time I’ve seen Sister cursing. It’s quite scary, like a monster.”
Jian Qingqing pretended to wave her fist. “Then do you want to see my first time beating someone up?”
“No, no! My sister is the best!”
