Chu Second nodded in agreement. “Fifth Sister, Zhao Xiuhua is always up to no good. No matter what we do, we have to make her learn and make her unable to cause trouble.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “That’s exactly what I’m going to do.”

As the two of them were muttering, Zhou Qingzhong suddenly walked towards Chu Qingzhi and begged, “Chu Qingzhi, plead with the village chief. In the future, our family will no longer go against you. My mother will also change.”

He was really afraid of Chu Qingzhi. His mother wanted to chase Chu Qingzhi away, but in the end, she was the one who was chased away. Chu Qingzhi was not someone they could afford to offend.

Chu Qingzhi pretended to be considering.

Seeing this, Zhou Qingzhong immediately made up his mind. “Chu Qingzhi, give our family another chance. I promise that the same thing won’t happen again.”

Chu Qingzhi asked distrustfully, “What if it happens again?”

Zhou Qingzhong quickly said, “If it happens again, you don’t have to chase us away. We’ll leave on our own.”

Chu Qingzhi hesitated for a moment before finally saying sternly, “Remember, you only have one chance. If you offend me again, there will be no room for negotiation.”

After all, she still had to live in the village. Earning a reputation as a generous person would do her a lot of good.

“Yes, I understand.” Zhou Qingzhong heaved a sigh of relief and quickly helped his mother leave.

Chu Qingzhi watched as the two of them left. Now that everyone in the village owed her a favor, her life in the village in the future would finally be comfortable.

…

When the Chu family returned home, the sky was already filled with stars.

Granny Chu, Li Qingyu, and Chu Second immediately went to the kitchen to cook. The others were also busy with their own things. Only Chu Qingzhi was free. She sat on the chair and fanned herself with a fan, looking relaxed.

After resting for a while, she suddenly remembered that she had yet to sell her dress. She had been delayed saving Xu Wanrong that day.

It had been a few days. The scar on Xu Wanrong’s face should have completely disappeared.

Now it was time to think about how to sell the dress.

Perhaps she could ask Xu Wanrong for help. She was the daughter of the richest man in the county and should have a lot of connections.

After dinner, Chu Qingzhi asked everyone to gather around the table. She took out her pouch, poured out the copper coins inside, and let everyone count the money together.

The sound of the copper coins colliding was very pleasant. It was crisp and loud, making people very happy.

Everyone counted together…

Every ten copper coins were tied together with hemp rope. Chu First was the first to speak. “I have two taels here.”

Chu Second said excitedly, “I have two taels here.”

Chu Third said with a chuckle, “I have three taels here.”

Granny Chu said happily, “I have one tael here.”

The others also reported. In the end, it added up to nine taels of silver and two copper coins.

Li Qingyu asked excitedly, “Qingzhi, is this the money you earned from selling ice cream bars this afternoon?”

Chu Qingzhi waved her hand and said, “I gave five copper coins to Elder Brother to buy sugar. We earned a total of nine taels and seven copper coins.”

Chu Ninth said in admiration, “Fifth Sister, you’re amazing. You earned so much money in a day.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and encouraged, “Let’s work hard together. We’ll earn more and more money in the future.”

Everyone nodded, “Yes.”

The elders looked at each other and confirmed that Qingzhi was really their family’s lucky star. Ever since she returned, the family’s situation had been improving day by day. It could be said that many families in the village were not doing as well as their family.

Chu Qingzhi pushed the money in front of Li Qingyu. “Mother, put away the money. Everyone, quickly take a shower and sleep.”

Li Qingyu did not refuse because she had to manage the household.

…

In the room, Chu Qingzhi came in with a wooden board. Then, she went to the stove to take out a few pieces of charcoal. “Second Sister, come over. I’ll teach you how to write your name.”

Chu Second was a little excited. “Qingzhi, are you really going to teach me?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “I’m a person of my word. Come over quickly. I’ll write it for you first.”

Chu Second rubbed her hands and walked towards Chu Qingzhi nervously. “Qingzhi, I’m very stupid. What if I can’t learn it?”

Chu Qingzhi said confidently, “Don’t worry, I’ll teach you until you can write it.”

As she spoke, she wrote the word “Chu Second” on the wooden board. “Second Sister, this is your name.”

Chu Second walked to Chu Qingzhi’s side and looked at the words on the wooden board carefully. She suddenly felt a lump in her throat. “Qingzhi, thank you. If not for you, I wouldn’t have known that my name looked like this.”

Chu Qingzhi had always wanted to ask this question. “Second Sister, don’t you have a formal name?”

Chu Second was puzzled. “What do you mean?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Just like my name, Chu Qingzhi.”

Chu Second shook her head slowly and said sadly, “Grandpa doesn’t know how to give names, so he just called us according to our birth order.”

Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment and said, “Second Sister, why don’t I give you a name? Chu Second doesn’t sound like a girl’s name.”

Chu Second nodded excitedly. “Alright, Qingzhi, you’re knowledgeable. Give Second Sister a name that sounds as good as yours.”
