Everyone immediately left when they heard this, but they didn’t disperse. Instead, most of them followed the Zhang family to watch the show.

When the village chief saw this, he shook his head and followed. Zhang Laosan was a hooligan, and the village chief was afraid that he would do something even more shameless.

It didn’t take long for the news to spread in the village.

Under Zhang Laoda’s pressure and the village chief’s witness, Zhang Qingqing’s mother and her two children took 20 taels of silver, 10 pounds of black flour, a sack of dried vegetables, and two acres of land. They went to Zhang Laoer’s family—Zhang Laosan’s older brother. Zhao Laoer had died but hadn’t left behind a child.

As for Aunt Zhang, when the village chief asked Zhang Laosan to sign a guarantee agreement, she was opposed by the whole family, so she had to leave.

In the evening, all the outsiders in the village had left.

Only the village head’s children, Sixth Aunt Gu’s daughter, and Gu Ziwen’s family were left behind. They moved into the homes of Qian Zhuang and Gu Erjiang.

At night, after Guo Chengsong’s condition had stabilized, he didn’t want to stay here anymore. Gu Chengrui had no choice but to send him back after changing his wound dressing.

Just as they left, Zhang Qingqing came to visit again.

Zhou Ying looked at the purple mark on her forehead and was stunned for a moment. “Doctor Gu isn’t here. Let me treat your wound.”

“Thank you,” Zhang Qingqing said after a pause.

After she thanked Zhou Ying, she followed her into the house. After she had her wound treated, she knelt and requested, “Manager Zhou, please buy me. Otherwise, the three of us won’t be able to live.”

“That’s impossible.” Zhou Ying replied without hesitation.

The situation outside was probably much more serious than what she had seen.

If she started this trend, she was sure that a long line of people would come to her to buy them the next morning. There may even be parents who throw their children at their front door.

However, she didn’t want to cause more trouble and couldn’t expose her interspace, so she would never take anyone in.

Zhang Qingqing’s face was full of despair after hearing this. The 10 pounds of black flour they got were only enough for the three of them to eat for ten days. But what were they going to do after that?

Thinking of the 20 taels of silver at home, she raised her head and said, “Can Manager Zhou sell us some food?”

Zhou Ying shook her head. “My restaurant closed because I couldn’t collect more raw ingredients. So I can’t do anything about providing you with food.”

“I… I don’t want black flour or rice, just wheat, bran, and the like.”

When Zhou Ying heard her say this, she quickly thought of Zhang Qingqing’s situation and knew she was at a dead end. “I don’t have anything you said,” Zhou Ying said after a brief pause.

“But I have some leftover tofu dregs here. Do you want it?”

“Tofu dregs arc fine too, as long as they’re edible.”

“Alright, wait a moment.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she turned around and went to the kitchen. She took out a sack of tofu dregs from her interspace and put it in front of Zhang Qingqing. “You can take a look at them. They’re all dried. Although they’re not very fresh, they’re still edible.”

Zhang Qingqing’s eyes lit up when she saw the sack’s contents. She opened it and grabbed a handful of it. As expected, it was dry and ready for eating.

She then sniffed it. Other than the smell of sunlight, there was no moldy smell at all. This was a lifesaver in this drought.

“Manager Zhou, how much will you sell the tofu dregs for?” She quickly asked.

“Two coppers per pound.” Zhou Ying hesitated for a moment. Thinking of her situation, she gave Zhang Qingqing a fair price.

Zhang Qingqing was stunned for a moment. She quickly bowed and said, “Thank you. I’ve caused you trouble today. If you need my help in the future, just let me know.”

Flour mixed with grass in town was sold for five coppers per pound, and there was a limited amount; such a price for the tofu dregs was a steal..
