Chapter 112 - 112 Hurry Up, Save Him!



Especially Niu Ziming, who didn’t even dare to step out of his door anymore.

Zhao Chuchu “convinced” everyone to treat her well with her iron fist!

The Chen clan had a stone mill, so Zhao Chuchu went to them to ask where they had bought it from.

!!

She had not seen a stone mill anywhere else in the village or the county.

When Old Lady Chen heard her question, she said, “You sounded so serious, I thought you were going to talk to me about something big. This stone mill was made by a brother from my maternal family. Chuchu, do you want to make one as well?”

“Yup, since your brother makes this, can I ask if they can make it according to my specifications?” Zhao Chuchu asked.

“Of course. If you really want, I can get someone to send them a message. My brother can come over to see how you would like it.”

“Alright, sorry for the trouble, Grandma Chen.”

“No need to be so polite. Do you need this urgently?”

“No, everyone’s busy with spring seeding right now. You can ask him to come over after spring seeding.”

“Okay then,” Old Lady Chen agreed.

Although Zhao Chuchu had said that, Old Lady Chen didn’t actually delay her request. She asked someone to send the message the very next day.

Zhao Chuchu went back and told Xie Heng about this.

Xie Heng’s eyes lit up ever so slightly.

“Tofu? If we’re really going to collaborate with Zhao Guitang, when you leave in the future, will you sell all of the tofu to them? Or will you come back every year?”

“I don’t know. We’ll see how it goes. Maybe after Junjun is cured, I can’t bear to leave this beautiful, scenic place,” Zhao Chuchu joked.

Can’t bear to leave this place?

Xie Heng lowered his eyes to hide the intention in his expression.

“I’ve never heard of tofu before, but I’m sure it’s really good if you brought it up. But do you know how to make it?”

“I don’t, but I know the steps. We’ll just need to experiment a few times, right?”

“You can tell me first. I’ll learn it, then teach them.”

“You?”

“Mhm, can I not?”

Of course, he can!

The success rate would be much higher if Xie Heng tried it!

“Alright then. We’ll start after the stone mill is completed.”

Zhao Chuchu rubbed her hands against each other.

Xie Heng raised his head to look at her and said, “You seem to like money a lot.”

Zhao Chuchu asked him curiously, “Is there anyone who doesn’t like money?”

Xie Heng laughed and said, “Maybe.”

“Even the strongest man can be defeated by a single penny!” Zhao Chuchu looked at him and said, “You’re not stupid.”

Xie Heng didn’t know how to reply.

He changed the topic. “How’s the farm thing going?”

“It’s already done. Now we just wait for it to grow,” Zhao Chuchu said. “I’m planning to plow the plot of land behind our house in a few days.”

“I’ll help you,” Xie Heng said without even thinking. “Not all scholars are physically incapable and completely clueless about farming. I think I can do these things.”

Of course, Zhao Chuchu wouldn’t reject him.

Xie Heng wasn’t the frail scholar that he pretended to be!

That said, he was so good at pretending that she would be tricked if she wasn’t a doctor!

Xie Heng held many secrets, and Zhao Chuchu couldn’t see through them from the beginning.

Everything about him seemed odd. They also seemed logical.

Zhao Chuchu decided to give up on probing these things.

She started talking to Xie Heng about how to make tofu.

Xie Heng memorized it after listening just once.

“You ate this often?”

“I guess. But soybeans can make a lot of things. Yuba is also really good, and soymilk is very nutritious. There’s also tempeh… Soybeans are like a treasure trove. Da Lang, I feel like we can get rich from just soybeans alone.”

The word “we” sounded exceptionally pleasing to Xie Heng’s ear.

“So you bought the land in the mountains to plant soybeans?” Xie Heng asked with a smile. “You’re planning to plant soybeans after harvesting the potatoes?”

“Yeah, I think I told you before. Actually, I wanted to convince the village chief to plant it as well, but…”

“But what? You ran into difficulties?”

“I was just thinking how many people would actually listen to me. Soybean is an excellent crop.”

In her previous life, her country paid hefty economic prices for soybeans historically. They spent a very long time regaining control over soybeans.

“We’re only planting the soybeans at the end of May. So you still have time to get them to believe you,” Xie Heng consoled her. “There’s no need to be too worried about it.”

“Right, what’s the point of overthinking this?”

Zhao Chuchu felt that Xie Heng was right.

The paddy rice would start growing by the end of May. People would know whether it’s good with just one look. There would definitely be a lot more people who would be willing to farm soybeans by then.

Zhao Chuchu really wanted to become rich off of soybeans.

This was a completely vacant market. However, once she occupied this market, it would only be a matter of time before she became the wealthiest person in the country!

Zhao Chuchu wasn’t a good cook, but she was amazing at everything else.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to accumulate a net worth of more than one billion in her previous life!

Before the apocalypse came, she couldn’t process all of her property.

In other words, her carry-on space only contained half of what she owned.

That said, being able to live another life was already a miracle for Zhao Chuchu. So she didn’t want much. Although dying from high-rise litter hitting her was rather sad…

Until today, Zhao Chuchu couldn’t understand why it happened. She had already awakened her superpowers at the time. So how did she not detect the item that fell? Could it be that there were people who had long since awakened their superpowers?

There were no answers to these questions. Zhao Chuchu didn’t feel like she could go back anyway.

As a woman, she felt that she needed money in her pocket to feel safe.

After experiencing the apocalypse, Zhao Chuchu learned to be prudent and vigilant. She had picked up some characteristics of hamsters. If she didn’t need the supplies right now, she would save them. What if they were in short supply in the future?

“What are you thinking about?” Xie Heng saw Zhao Chuchu spacing out, so he reached his hand out and waved it in front of her.

Zhao Chuchu suppressed her messy thoughts, then laughed and said, “I’m thinking about how to achieve world domination with soybeans!”

Xie Heng laughed heartily. He subconsciously knocked on Zhao Chuchu’s forehead with his knuckles and said, “You should think about how to dominate Lengshui Village first!”

“Don’t mock me…”

Before Zhao Chuchu finished her sentence, their conversation was interrupted by a yell. “Oh no! Junjun! Brother Heng, sister-in-law, quick! Go take a look!”

The smiles on their faces instantly faded. They stood up and briskly walked outside.

Old Lady Chen’s grandson, Chen Liang, ran in, panting. He said with a teary voice, “Junjun fell into the water. Waah, Sister-in-law, quickly go save him.”

The moment he spoke, Chen Liang felt a breeze brush past him. When he looked up again, Zhao Chuchu was already gone.

“Bring me there.” Xie Heng walked out. His eyes were filled with worry.

Chen Liang wiped away his tears and ran outside as well.

“Junjun said that Sister-in-law had been saying that she wanted to eat wild Shepherd’s Purse, so he tried to pick some and bring it back. He didn’t expect to run into Niu Ziming. Niu Ziming pushed him into the water. Junjun was saved by Uncle Niu, but he’s not breathing anymore…”

Xie Heng’s expression turned ugly.

At this point, Zhao Chuchu had already arrived at the riverbank. Xie Jun was lying there. His face was completely pale, and his chest wasn’t moving anymore.
