Chapter 173 Duanjia Village Seeks Help
The days that followed were quite peaceful, and before the blink of an eye, it was almost the end of the year.
I also plan to celebrate the New Year with great enthusiasm this year.
Zhang and her family are also preparing cakes for New Year worship, and say that it is rare to have such a lively occasion this year.
"Our farm has never been so lively before. This year's New Year celebration will definitely be interesting."
"I heard from the Madam that she wants to invite a troupe of actors to our farm! Only a wealthy master like the Madam can afford this."
When Zhang and her friends heard that they could watch a play, they were so excited that they have been talking about it every day.
Little Zhang also asked Mu Chaoge, "Miss San, you must have watched a lot of plays, right?"
This question stumped Mu Chaoge.
She was currently researching how to make some unique snacks. She had been too idle recently, so she said, "Let me think about it. I saw a lot of them before, but I have been busy with business in the past two years and haven't seen any more."
The vicious female supporting role in the original novel is so arrogant and domineering that she wants everything delicious and fun, and no one else can take away what she wants.
Anyway, it's quite arrogant.
She is lawless because of her grandmother's love. As a vicious female supporting role, there is really no other way to bully her except to torment the heroine and wait to be slapped in the face by her...
Mu Chaoge thought about it for a while and couldn't help laughing out loud. It was really too funny.
"Then this year is just right. The eldest lady invited a troupe to come over, and we can also benefit from it. The third young lady can also enjoy the show and rest for a while without having to work so hard."
Mu Chaoge nodded. She was also looking forward to it. It would be great if her aunt and the others could enjoy it. "But it's uncomfortable to rest all the time."
She is almost going mouldy from idleness.
The main reason is that there is no business to do, nothing to do, and I get bored of reading too many books.
There's no point in playing every day.
Mu Chaoge is not a real child after all. It’s okay for her to play with the kids from the Lu family a few times, but if they really drag her to run and jump every day, she really can’t stand it. She is too tired and doesn’t have the energy for it.
Children have so much energy that they can play with a tank of fish for an entire afternoon, and can spend most of the day building a snowman. It is really hard to keep up with them.
Mu Chaoge didn't play with them, as Xiao Taozi was forced to go play by her.
Taozi is a real little brat, following me around every day, so pitiful.
Mu Chaoge didn't play himself nor did he restrict Xiao Taozi. He asked her to take Ahua to play with the little kids from the Lu family. They had a lot of fun playing every day.
"Miss, what you said makes sense. In the past, when things were peaceful outside, you could go out for a walk from time to time, or other people would come to our place."
Now, with just these people around, although it’s lively, there’s really nothing new.
So many people are looking forward to the arrival of the opera troupe.
Mu Chaoge smiled and said, "Then I'll go back and ask my aunt to invite the troupe over earlier. No, she also told my uncle about it. I'll just tell my uncle directly. It won't take much time."
Her words frightened Zhang and Little Zhang, and they quickly said no.
“That’s what we said!”
"Miss Third, please don't bother Madam for us. It's really not necessary."
Zhang and Little Zhang were afraid of causing trouble for their young lady, but Mu Chaoge thought it was not a big problem. "It's okay, just ask. Even if we can't come in advance, it's good for us to know when the troupe will come."
The two of them wanted to persuade him again.
Uncle Cai hurried over to report, with Duan Yuanshan by his side.
Mu Chaoge put down the cake in his hand as soon as he saw it, "What's wrong? Brother Duan doesn't look well?"
Duan Yuanshan opened his mouth but no words came out. He was in a rare state of confusion.
Uncle Cai nodded and said, "Hey, something happened in Duanjia Village."
Mu Chaoge said he understood, "Well, let's go sit over there?"
When the weather gets cold, some wind-proof bamboo curtains are added to the summer shed for cooling off, and a brazier is placed inside.
Mu Chaoge went in and sat down, motioning Duan Yuanshan to come over and sit by the fire. "Brother Duan, come here quickly. No matter what, just sit by the fire for a while. It's cold outside. You must be frozen, right?"
Duan Yuanshan sighed when he heard these heartwarming words. It was very difficult to speak, but he finally said, "Miss San, I won't sit down. It's urgent. Our village chief fell down, and the doctor said he needs ginseng to save his life."
But they searched the entire village and found no one had the best ginseng.
Think about it.
The only reliable and familiar wealthy family is Mu Chaoge's side.
Therefore, the whole village gathered some silver and wanted to buy a better ginseng from Mu Chaoge to save their old village chief. Although he was the village chief, he was also their relative. How could they just stand by and watch him die?
Moreover, Duanjia Village cannot do without the old village chief. It is in a chaotic period now. The more chaotic the times are, the more it cannot do without a backbone. The old village chief cannot get into trouble at this time.
"We have collected more than thirty taels of silver, but I wonder if Miss Third has any ginseng? Or if she can help us find a ginseng?"
Mu Chaoge realized that it was not a big problem when she heard it. She thought something big had happened that could make Duan Yuanshan look so heavy.
It turned out that there was just a shortage of medicine.
"Uncle Cai, go to the storeroom and get one directly. Bring it over to Brother Duan to see if it can be used."
Uncle Cai went away as soon as he was asked.
Mu Chaoge said that she didn't know much about medicinal herbs, so she asked Duan Yuanshan to see if he could use them. "As for the money, forget it. We all met each other, and it's fate. This is just a token of my appreciation."
She has a lot of good things in her warehouse. She also stockpiled a lot of medicinal herbs in case something went wrong.
Her uncle would often bring some supplements and other things with her. The inferior ones were placed in the big warehouse on the farm, while the more expensive ones were placed in the small storeroom in her room, where they were kept as treasured items.
"Wait a minute and see if it works. If not, I have something better over there."
She just wanted to tell her aunt, after all, it was given to her by her uncle and aunt.
Such valuable things cannot be given away casually.
Duan Yuanshan didn't expect that the Third Miss would agree so readily. He felt a little ashamed and embarrassed. After all, he was just a farmhand who worked on her farm.
The entire Duanjia Village became wealthy thanks to the Third Miss. It’s really shameful to say it, but now I have to come and trouble others. Duan Yuanshan feels very embarrassed.
"That's enough! The doctor just said that I need ginseng of better quality, not too expensive..."
Uncle Cai came back very quickly and brought back three boxes of ginseng, all of which were of good quality.
Let him choose.
Duan Yuanshan took the youngest and smallest one and left, "We still have to pay for this money. We can't just take Third Miss's things for free, that would be too shameless. Third Miss is willing to help us, and we have already given her a lot of thanks!"
He said that he would go back and ask the doctor about the price of the ginseng, and would compensate her for the shortfall when the time came. After saying that, he left in a hurry.
