    Chu Qingzhi greeted with a smile, “Chief Official, I’d like to purchase somend at the foot of the mountain. Could you please help measure it for me?”


    The Chief Official agreed cheerfully, “Please wait a moment, Miss Chu. I’ll get the tools.”


    “Okay.”


    In the Chu Vige.


    Upon returning to the vige, Chu Qingzhi presented the map she had drawn to the Chief Official, “Chief Official, this is thend I’d like to purchase.”


    She had circled the desired area on the map, requiring only the Chief Official’s measurement.


    After examining the map, the Chief Official was silently impressed by Chu Qingzhi’s capabilities; her map was even better than the government’s.


    “Miss Chu, thisnd is barren, and the trees it contains are not valuable. What do you intend to do with thisnd?”


    As they walked towards the river near the mountain’s base, Chu Qingzhi briefly exined thend’s purpose.


    The Chief Official was full of admiration, “I am in awe of your ns.”


    Upon reaching the destination, the Chief Official and his assistant immediately began measuring thend.


    A total of 120 acres were measured, but the Chief Official calcted only too acres to express his gratitude of her healing the wounded soldiers.


    “For Miss Chu, 30 taels of silver will suffice.”


    Chu Qingzhi smiled, “Thank you, Chief Official.”


    Following that, Chu Qingzhi and the Chief Official returned to the county office to sign the contract and pay the silver, officially transferring thend to Chu Qingzhi.


    In the workshop area.


    With thend issue resolved, construction could begin. Chu Qingzhi approached An Shanwu, “Brother An, I n to build a brick kiln. Do you have enough manpower on your side?”


    An Shanwu was currently constructing a soybean paste workshop, which had just started. Upon hearing her request, he said, “No problem, I’ll allocate some workers immediately.”


    In addition to building workshops for Chu Qingzhi, he was also constructing houses for vigers. Despite being incredibly busy, An Shanwu would always prioritize Chu Qingzhi’s needs.


    Chu Qingzhi handed over the blueprints to An Shanwu, “Please take a look, Brother An.”


    After carefully examining the blueprints, An Shanwumented, “Alright, I’ll take some people to survey the site and start nning. However, we’re not very experienced in this area. Could you perhaps invite a seasoned brick kiln master to guide us?”


    Chu Qingzhi replied, “I’ve already hired three, and they’re currently waiting in the square outside the workshop. They’re avable whenever you need them.”


    An Shanwu praised her, “You’ve thought of everything.”


    Splitting up, Chu Qingzhi went to summon the brick kiln masters and the wounded soldiers, while An Shanwu called his construction team’s surveyor. They then headed together to the site Chu Qingzhi had nned.


    Upon arrival, the surveyor immediately began mapping thend based on the blueprints.


    Chu Qingzhi had the three brick kiln masters assist, while she and others went to the walnut grove to harvest walnuts, “Gentlemen, there’s nothing urgent right now. Could you help me knock down some walnuts?”


    Wan Haonan readily agreed, “Sure, leave it to us.”


    Chu Qingzhi summoned Da Bai to watch over them, as part of the area extended into the mountains and she wanted to prevent any idents.


    Seeing that a tiger obediently listened to Chu Qingzhi, the veterans couldn’t help but hold her in high regard.


    The area quickly bustled with activity.


    Upon receiving a letter from Chu Qingzhi, Bao Linjiang rode his horse back to Chu vige once again.


    He tied his horse to a tree and carried the items he had specifically purchased, pausing for a moment before heading towards the courtyard.


    Coincidentally, Rong Shiyu stepped out of the house, nning to join Ge Lihua at the ancestral hall to help correct the children’s homework.


    Seeing Bao Linjiang, Ge Lihua smiled, patted Rong Shiyu on the shoulder, greeted Bao Linjiang, and continued on her way.


    With the Chu family members busy, only Chu Qingyan and Chu Qingning, besides Rong Shiyu, were around, making the surroundings very quiet.


    Rong Shiyu, with her head slightly lowered, felt a mix of guilt and joy among otherplicated emotions.


    Bao Linjiang, watching Rong Shiyu, remembered his outburst from the day before, feeling somewhat guilty.


    After a brief silence, they both said at the same time, “I was wrong yesterday.”


    Both couldn’t help but smile.


    Bao Linjiang stepped forward, extending the items in his hand to Rong Shiyu, “I bought these especially for you. I’m sorry about yesterday, and I’ll control my temper in the future.”


    Rong Shiyu quickly looked up, “It was my fault too. I’ll make sure to inform everyone where I’m going, so no one worries about me anymore.”


    Bao Linjiang pushed the gift towards her, “Take this gift, and let’s put this behind us, okay?”


    Rong Shiyu epted the gift, “Okay.”


    Bao Linjiang’s gaze softened considerably, “Shall we go back to Tongzi County?”


    RongShiyu nodded, “Yes.”


    Bao Linjiang called out to the second floor, “Qingyan, I’m taking Shiyu with <li>Let everyone know.”</li>


    Chu Qingyan responded, “Alright.”


    Bao Linjiang said to Rong Shiyu, “Let’s go, the horse is outside.”


    “Ok.”


    Granny Sun’s anxious voice came through, “Qingzhi, Qingning, my daughter- inw is having a difficultbor. You muste quickly.”


    With Chu Qingzhi not at home, Chu Qingning grabbed the medicine box and ran out, instructing someone to find Chu Qingzhi in the forest while she followed Granny Sun to her home.


    Granny Sun’s youngest daughter-inw was inbor. With improved living conditions, she had been pampered during her pregnancy, leading to arge baby and a difficult birth.


    Approaching the house, the agonizing screams were already audible, making everyone’s heart tremble.


    Many people waited anxiously in the yard, their faces filled with concern. Chu Qingning bypassed them and entered the room directly.


    Inside, the cries of theboring woman were even clearer. Chu Qingning quickly calmed her, “Don’t be afraid, we’ll help you.”


    The two midwives sighed in relief upon seeing Chu Qingning arrive, knowing that without her, the woman might not survive the birth, turning a joyous asion into a tragedy.


    Seeing Chu Qingning, theboring woman felt somewhat reassured, “Qingning, please…”


    “Don’t be afraid, it’s going to be okay…” While soothing her, Chu Qingning checked her pulse, “Listen to me and do as I say, okay?”


    “Okay, okay…”


    Following the guidance Chu Qingzhi had shared with her, Chu Qingning started to instruct, putting on gloves to examine the woman.


    It was her first time assisting in childbirth. She thought she would be unable to stomach the bloodiness of the situation, but seeing the woman’s pain, she focused solely on saving her.


    Upon examination, the birth canal was fully dted, which should have allowed for the birth, but the baby’s position was incorrect, and its size was causing the difficulty.


    In such cases, an episiotomy was needed.


    However, with only theoretical knowledge and no practical experience, Chu Qingning hesitated to proceed.
