Chapter 515: Chapter 502: Intimidation

Mrs. Wang may be fierce, but she’s not blindly so. She knows who can be upset and who can’t, what can be done and what can’t.

After being threatened with Chu Jinnian’s official position, Mrs. Wang felt scared, and naturally, she wouldn’t make any more trouble.

Looking at Mrs. Wang’s frightened appearance, Zhuang Wencheng knew that his approach was not wrong.

“Also, don’t forget to arrange my wedding matters, mother. If it’s good and all parties are satisfied, we can set it.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll start arranging it right now,” Mrs. Wang hastily agreed. “Starting to arrange your matter early will show that I didn’t concentrate only on Miss Sui. Those prior words can be considered as a joke, so nobody will investigate further.”

“That’s the matter.” Zhuang Wencheng breathed a sigh of relief once more.

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Wencheng let out a big yawn.

He didn’t sleep a wink all night, and he just talked about a lot of things. Now, he was genuinely sleepy.

“You did not sleep last night, go and get some sleep right now. I will make a bowl of cabbage and shredded pork noodles for lunch. I will call you when it’s done.”

Seeing Zhuang Wencheng’s tired face, Mrs. Wang felt heartbroken. She led him into the house, tidied up the bedding for Zhuang Wencheng, telling him to rest immediately, and she hurried to instruct her eldest daughter-in-law to roll the noodles.

As the saying goes, once Laba Festival is over, it’s time for the New Year.

Entering the twelfth lunar month and after the Laba Festival, the New Year’s atmosphere gradually thickened.

There was not much work in the fields, those who had to buy New Year’s goods bought New Year’s goods, and those who needed to make New Year’s clothes made New Year’s clothes. Some people who made a living outside gradually began to return home, and many workshops also began to stop their operations, all to reunite with their families and have a peaceful and prosperous year.

The workshops run by Zhuang Qingning were even busier as the New Year approached, instead of stopping.

Tofu was an essential item for every household during the New Year. They needed it to fry tofu slices, make tofu balls, steam buns, etc. Each household had to reserve twenty or thirty catties.

As for tofu skin and century eggs, they were two must-haves cold dishes when there was a lack of vegetables in the winter in the north, during the period from New Year’s Eve to the eighth day of the New Year. Whether it was for family dinners or entertaining aunts, nephews, and all relatives, the demand for them was enormous, and supply fell short of demand.

Even if Zhuang Qingning had asked all the workshops to increase production and stock up goods early in the winter, there was still a shortage at this time.

Zhuang Qingning had no choice but to call on the people in each workshop to continue working and produce overtime.

As for continuing to work, the villagers had no problems at all. On the contrary, they were more than happy.

After all, at this time, there was no more farming work in the fields. If they stayed at home idle, they would chat about trivial things. After a whole day, the gain was probably a few more pots of tea and a catty of sunflower seeds, ending with a mouthful of bubbles.
