Chapter 122: Despair

"What's the matter with you, looking so worried?" Zhuang Qingning lightly tapped her on the head.

"Aunt Liu has not been here for the past two days, and neither has Sister Qiuying been setting up her stall." Zhuang Qingsui frowned with concern. "I wonder if something has happened at home."

"Indeed." Zhuang Qingning also pursed her lips.

In the past few days, she had been busy managing the shop and thinking about how to arrange shifts and expand production at the tofu factory. Her mind was filled with these matters, and she hadn't paid much attention to what Qingsui had just mentioned until she realized that Mrs. Liu and Zhang Qiuying had not come to set up their stalls in town for the past two or three days.

Mrs. Liu had been feeling unwell but had been forcing herself to come and sell her fried chop rice cakes until her health became unbearable and only then did she rest for a couple of days.
