Ordinarily, residence in the Qingzhuyuan would be arranged, with a day off every ten days to return home.
Everyone was quite satisfied with this arrangement.
Only Zhuang Qingning sighed.
For suddenly, the courtyard, usually filled with laughter, was left with just her and Snowball, a solitary woman and her cat, a situation she found hard to get used to.
Moreover, as business steadily increased, it was hard for her to keep up all by herself...
After pondering for a night, Zhuang Qingning went to the county town the next day.
She didn't bother going anywhere else, heading straight for the brokerage.
The brokerage was bustling at this time.
As the spring planting had just ended and the summer harvest hadn't yet arrived, it was a time of transition. Not a few people were selling their fields, houses, or even their children.
With so many sellers, naturally there were plenty of buyers too.
The clerks and the shop manager were busy welcoming customers and negotiating prices.
