Yan Yanrong was momentarily shocked, but her expression quickly turned to disdain. “Chu Qingshuang, there’s a limit to joking. A quarter of the richest man’s wealth? Who would believe that?”
Chu Qingshuang spread her hands that were covered in mud and pretended not to care. “It’s up to you whether you believe it or not. Anyway, the truth won’t change because of your disbelief.”
Yan Yanrong, seeing Chu Qingshuang’s reaction, couldn’t quite gauge the truthfulness of her words. Staring at her for a while, she gritted her teeth and said, “Then we’ll see in the capital!” freewebn ovel.com
Chu Qingshuang, who was shaping a porcelain, replied, “I think it’s better not to meet. We’re not close, after all.”
This angered Yan Yanrong again. “You…”
“Yan Yanrong, you’re no longer part of the porcelain workshop. It’s better if you don’t come here anymore; you really disrupt my work,” Chu Qingshuang said, full of disdain.
Hearing this, Yan Yanrong suddenly had an idea and arrogantly proposed, “Fine, i won’t disturb you, but let’s talk about a deal.”
Chu Qingshuang wanted to see what Yan Yanrong was up to, so she asked, “What deal?”
Yan Yanrong pointed at Chu Qingshuang’s hands. “I want to order a hundred cutely painted bowls from you.”
Chu Qingshuang secretly guessed what Yan Yanrong wanted to do. The other party would definitely not be kind enough to let her earn money. It must be a trap. “I won’t take your business. Find someone else.”
Yan Yanrong pointed at Chu Qingshuang agitatedly and shouted, “Chu Qingshuang! You’re rejecting a business deal? You’re shameless!”
“You’re offering a trap, not a favor,” Chu Qingshuang made a face at Yan Yanrong, then shooed her away like a fly. “Please go, you’re really hindering my work.”
Yan Yanrong, left with no choice, brushed off her sleeves and left a threat, “Chu Qingshuang, we’ll see.”
Chu Qingshuang ignored her.
Yan Yanrong could only leave. As soon as she left, a girl who had been bullied by her in the past could not help but complain, “Qingshuang, Yan Yanrong is so annoying!”
Chu Qingshuang nodded in agreement, “1 think so too. She keeps bothering me every three days and affects my mood.”
The girl frowned slightly and said restlessly, “Is there anyway to stop her from coming to the workshop again?”
Chu Qingshuang didn’t respond but thought to herself that it was indeed time to come up with a solution.

In the late afternoon, after a busy day, Chu Qingzhi finally returned home.
Chu Qingyan poured a bowl of water for Chu Qingzhi and said with concern, “Fifth Sister, have some water and rest.”
After drinking the water, Chu Qingzhi asked with care, “How’s your learning going?”
Chu Qingyan straightened her back, proudly saying, “Master said I’ve made great progress. As a reward, he’s given me a day off tomorrow. 1 plan to do a complete makeup for Hongxiu and show it off to the villagers.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled, “Then 1’11 come and see it tomorrow.”
Chu Qingyan nodded, “Okay.”
After sitting for a while, Chu Qingzhi got up and went to the wasteland.
There was about half an acre of wasteland left to be cultivated, which she planned to finish today.
Most of the land was already covered with rich mud, which would also be completed today.
The ditch was half dug, which was good progress.
Chu Qingzhi was satisfied and thought to herself that she could add a chicken leg to Xiao Chen and the others’ lunch tomorrow.
When Shen Ruyue saw Chu Qingzhi return, she hurriedly came out of the office, “Qingzhi, how did it go?”
Sitting down on a stone bench outside the office, Chu Qingzhi replied, “It went well. I bought the paper mill and found two paper-making masters. How’s the selection of personnel on your end?”
Shen Ruyue smiled, “As soon as I announced the recruitment, dozens of people came to sign up. I selected twenty-five of them, all men. Fifteen from our village and ten from other villages. They are strong and capable of doing physical work.”
“Did you tell them to gather at our house tomorrow morning at around 7 a.m.?”
“I did.”
“I’ll bring you all there to take a look after I’ve arranged it.”
“Okay.”
Chu Haodong hurried over. “Qingzhi, Ruyue, the beans are in. Do you want to take a look?”
“Sure.” Shen Ruyue responded, and then the two followed Chu Haodong to the old house courtyard.
The beans were stored in sacks, piled up there. They were all collected from the village. Everyone had waited to sell their beans to Chu Qingzhi.
Chu Haodong untied the hemp rope of a sack. “I supervised the filling of these bags myself. The amount is consistent.”
“Thank you for your hard work.” Chu Qingzhi glanced at the beans and knew the situation was as Chu Haodong had described.
Chu Haodong smiled, “It’s my duty.”
Chu Qingzhi said, “Haodong, could you please invite the aunties who helped me make soybean paste over.”<
“Sure.” Chu Haodong took the list from Chu Qingzhi and immediately ran to invite them.
Soon, Auntie Zhang and others were brought over, and they quickly got busy under Chu Qingzhi’s arrangement.
Auntie Zhang looked up at Chu Qingzhi several times while working, hesitating to speak.
After a while, as Chu Qingzhi was about to leave, Auntie Zhang finally gathered the courage to approach her. “Qingzhi, I have something to talk to you about. Do you have a moment?”
Chu Qingzhi nodded, “Go ahead, Auntie Zhang.”
Auntie Zhang pulled Chu Qingzhi aside and whispered, “My niece, twenty years old, is very poor. Her husband recently fell ill. Could you let her work to earn some money?”
Chu Qingzhi said, “She can work, but Auntie Zhang, I must warn you. If your niece does something wrong, you both will be responsible.”
This tactic was effective in preventing people from recommending relatives carelessly. It saved a lot of trouble.
Auntie Zhang’s family’s livelihood depended on working for the Chu family. Being implicated would be a devastating blow to them.
Hearing this, Auntie Zhang hesitated, “I’ll think about it some more.”
Chu Qingzhi nodded, “Let me know when you’ve decided.”
“Okay.”
Yunfei School.
“I heard that Xuyuan and Xuyao are going to catch the person spreading rumors today.”
“Really?”
“I’m not sure, but there’s no smoke without fire. It’s possible.”
“How do they know who that person is?”
“I don’t know, but the process isn’t important, the result is.”
Two students whispered as they walked away. Not just them, the entire school was discussing and waiting to see the outcome of Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao catching the rumor spreader.
A shadow hid in a dark corner, overhearing everyone’s conversations, looking somewhat scared.
In the classroom, Chu Xuyao sat quietly at his desk, exuding a calm and steady presence.
Chu Xuyuan, however, was not as composed as Xuyao, appearing somewhat restless..
