42 Looking for the Vige Chief


    Jian Qingqing took some sand from him for cooking herbs. She took it back and asked the vigers to see if they could cook it. If they could not, then she would sell fresh herbs.


    It was still early when she went back. The people who had gone down to the ground had note back yet. The two aunties that Jian Qingqing hired were already washing the vegetables. She put the three chickens into a wooden basin and asked them to clean it up.


    “Qingqing, your food is really good. You even gave the workers chickens!” one of the aunties said enviously.


    Jian Qingqing smiled. “After all, they work for our family. We can’t treat them unfairly, right?”


    The aunties nodded and said regretfully, “That’s right. Sigh, if you guys finish your farming work and then build it, I’ll call my family’s man over. He’s also a good worker.”


    “My house was originally nned to be built after spring nting. When the timees, the vige’s uncles would also be able to help. However, look at these two dpidated houses of mine. A few days ago, there was a gust of wind that almost blew the roof off. We were afraid that the longer the night, the more likely it would be that something would happen. That’s why we decided to look for someone to build it at this time.”


    Jian Qingqing knew that if she did not mention the fact that her family did not look for vigers to build a house, that knot would continue to exist. In the future, there would always be ayer of veil between them and the vigers.


    “At noon, why don’t you eat at our house? How can you work hard for our family and still have to go back to your own house to eat?”


    As expected, after hearing these words, although the two aunties were still not veryfortable, the smile on their faces was much brighter. “That’s quite embarrassing, right? All we do is cook.”


    The other auntie quickly added, “But since Qingqing has said so, then we will and stay.”


    Hearing them chime in, Jian Qingqing could not help but find it funny. “Alright, our family would like to thank you two foring to help us cook. Otherwise, we wouldn’t know what to do.”


    Hearing Jian Qingqing’s words, the two aunties felt a little embarrassed. They coulde to the Jian Family to help because they had more people, so they could do without the farm work. Therefore, they came to the Jian Family to earn some extra money to supplement their family expenses.


    However, even though they felt guilty, they still said shamelessly, “Aiya, of course, we will help. If your neighbor’s family wants to help, how can we note? Qingqing, when you be rich in the future, just don’t forget about us!”


    Jian Qingqing did not mention that she paid wages. She nodded and said, “I won’t, Aunties. You guys go ahead first. I’ll make some dishes first.”


    There was still some leftover stewed meat from yesterday. She did not sell all of it. She nned to bring it to the vige chief’s houseter to discuss the medicinal herbs.


    The stewed meat was already cold. Jian Qingqing reheated it and sliced it into slices and ced it on a te.


    The vige chief’s family wasrge. Although he was the vige chief, his conditions were not much better than the others in the vige. There were still many people who ate wild vegetables. During the spring nting season, everyone had to go to the fields.


    Seeing that the adults had returned, Jian Qing Qing greeted them and took the meat to the vige chief’s house.


    The vige chief’s house was at the east end of the vige, which was quite a distance away from her house.


    When she arrived, her family was about to eat when the children were still making a racket.


    Seeing Jian Qingqing, the vige chief’s eldest son, Jian da Jin, was stunned. “Qingqing, why are you here?”


    “I’m here to look for Grandpa Vige Chief. Uncle, is he at home?”


    After that, an old man walked out of the house. “I’m here! Who’s looking for me?”


    Seeing that it was Jian Qingqing, he was stunned for a moment and quickly said, “Aiyo, it’s Qingqing. Come,e, sit inside. Have you eaten? Why are you looking for me?”


    Jian Qingqing gave the meat to Jian Dajin’s wife, Wang Shi. “I’m here to look for Grandpa Vige Chief because I have something very important to say.”
