Chapter 564: Chapter 568 Too Complicated_1
The crowd pointed their fingers at Good Lady, accusing her of being ungrateful.
Qiao Duo’er had already said it was just a temporary halt, and they could continue harvesting herbs once this issue was resolved.
In the past few months, the financial gain of the Tan Family was evident to all. Wasn’t picking a fight with them now the same as having an issue with money?
Qiao Duo’er spoke earnestly, "This incident was indeed unexpected. Last night, someone sneaked into my house and used a dart to pin a note, threatening Zheng Hong and me into submission, which is why I’m notifying all of you today."
"Are you and Zheng Hong alright?" Fat Aunt asked anxiously.
"The intruder didn’t hurt anyone; only our dog was injured chasing after them."
Qiao Duo’er downplayed it, but the others were still frightened.
"That’s good to hear. Thankfully, Duo’er came early; otherwise, we might have never returned."
"I’ve heard of Yin Yinyue’s methods. They say she kills without batting an eye—such a grave calamity!"
Someone else consoled, "Wife of Zheng Hong, don’t take it to heart with her. She’s probably just venting her anger after being scolded by her mother-in-law; otherwise, she wouldn’t speak such nonsense."
Good Lady’s mother-in-law is very strict and her husband not caring, so a bit of paranoia on her part is understandable.
Qiao Duo’er smiled faintly; as long as Good Lady wasn’t too much, she couldn’t be bothered to care.
Last night, she anticipated that some might not take the news well, but she didn’t expect such a strong reaction.
Of course, she would have to be more cautious around such people in the future.
Qiao Duo’er brought up another serious matter, "Don’t idle during this period. I need more deodorizing insoles and sachets. I will provide all the materials. Those willing to help can come to my house in the evening."
"What’s a deodorizing insole? Sounds pretty novel," the crowd asked curiously.
"It’s an insole treated with herbs that can disinfect and deodorize. Wearing them over time also has health benefits."
Qiao Duo’er answered patiently.
"Can an insole be that miraculous?"
"This sounds too complicated. We don’t even know a single character. Can we do it?"
"This all seems very mystical to me, with powders and talk of killing— I’m sure I wouldn’t manage."
Qiao Duo’er nodded confidently, "Actually, making them is the same as ordinary insoles, but I’ll need you to take extra care to make them look and perform better. After all, the better the quality, the higher the price."
Someone teased, "Duo’er, you’re not going to stop us after just two days again, are you?"
"I told you not to go into the mountains because it is dangerous. If you’re not afraid, you can keep digging. As long as you bring them, I will definitely buy."
Qiao Duo’er blinked her innocent eyes; she never thought there could be too many herbs.
"Then I might as well take the insoles from your house. The worst I could get is a pricked finger—we need to earn money but also have a life to spend it."
This comment caused a ripple of laughter among everyone, but it was certainly true.
Life is precious; it can’t be traded for money.
"I always said Duo’er has the biggest heart. Not only does she care about our lives, but she’s also always looking out for ways to enrich us!"
Fat Aunt raised her thumbs up, her eyes full of admiration.
She hadn’t heard Qiao Duo’er mention any of this before; it must have been an improvised idea.
The wealthy only have eyes for silver, completely blind to the hardships of ordinary folk. 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
But Qiao Duo’er was different; she thought everything through thoroughly.
"Duo’er, you must be busy at home, so you better go back. We’ll all head home too and wait for your word to go up the mountain."
"I’ll come by your house this evening. You have to save some work for me."
"And me too, I’m not good at Embroidery Flowers, but I can make insoles."
