Chapter 43 The Finale

Qian Hutao and Mu Ni, along with a few others, approached the courtyard carrying sticks.

Aunt Zhao possessed internal strength and could hear their footsteps from a great distance, which made her wary.

She came over to check on Qian Hutao because she overheard Wu's encouragement to her that afternoon, and sure enough, she was caught by Wu!

Qian Hutao even brought four accomplices with him!

"That ungrateful Qian Hutao, he's got no conscience!"

Aunt Zhao couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Qian Hutao was almost driven to death by the Qian family, but Miss Song saved her and even let her stay in her home, giving her a way to survive.

Qian Hutao led the people in.

On the way here, she had figured it out. Since her life was already over anyway, she might as well do something big. Twenty taels of silver was enough for a farmer to earn for five or eight years, and she could live a carefree and happy life for a long time with it all to herself.

With that thought in mind, Qian Hutao led her men into the room with menacing eyes.

Because she didn't know that Aunt Zhao was also there, she was stunned for a moment, but she didn't think much of it. She was just an old woman; there was nothing to be afraid of.

Qian Hutao approached step by step.

Song Xiaoxiao was startled and nervously gripped Song Li's hand tightly.

Song Li wasn't intimidated. She stepped forward and asked with a smile, "I was just thinking of buying a stick. How much?"

"Song Daya, how much do you think it's worth?" Qian Hutao asked with a gloomy face.

Song Li said, "I asked you a question, and you turned around and asked me the same question. Of course, I want it to be as cheap as possible."

Qian Hutao said, "Then I won't be polite."

She raised the stick in her hand high.

At that very moment, Song Li suddenly asked her, "By the way, didn't you just ask me for your wages?"

Qian Hutao: "But you have twenty taels, yet you only give me three hundred coins a month."

"So you think it's not enough?"

Qian Hutao remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Song Li then asked, "How much do you want? What do you plan to do with the money?"

She can actually fight, but since we're indoors now, if she breaks furniture or pots and pans, she'll be the one who suffers.

As for why we don't go out and fight?

Of course, it's because it's too cold, and I'm too lazy to go out.

Qian Hutao was taken aback by the question.

She knew the answer in her heart: of course, she would take the money and live a carefree life.

Normally, she would have taken the money home, but now that she's robbed someone, why would she want to go back to her cramped home?

However, this idea is not suitable to be said in front of Moonie and the others, otherwise she might be the one who gets robbed.

Mooney and the others were stunned. Yes, what were they going to do with the money?

Does that mean they'll order the next thing after they finish eating?

Feeling lost and confused?

They were unaware that Qian Hutao intended to keep all the money for herself.

Song Li smiled and suggested, "Since none of you know what your plans are for the future, why don't you stay?"

The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Even their own families don't want them, why would she be so kind?

"Aren't you afraid we'll rob you while you're asleep?" Muni couldn't help but ask.

"That depends on you guys."

“Us?” Moonie was even more puzzled.

Song Li nodded: "Do you want to keep doing this, pulling off one job and moving on to another, living a nomadic life? Or do you want to stay and live a stable life?"

No one's life is ever smooth sailing.

Everyone has times when their path narrows.

In her past life, someone helped her during her most difficult time, and now she can help others in return.

Besides, she wasn't helping for nothing. The villagers discriminated against her, and there was no way to correct them. So she might as well form her own gang and see who would dare to bully her again!

Mingyue was worried and pulled Song Li aside to whisper, "I know you mean well, but Qian Hutao is an ungrateful person. Aren't you afraid?"

Song Li blinked: "I'm not afraid."

She has a solution, and she has the space; the rooms are even separate.

After discussing it for a while, Moonie and the others finally stepped forward and said, "We'll listen to you and stay."

Song Li nodded and said, "Very good, from now on, you are the leader of all of you. They will take your orders, including..."

Her gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the room, finally settling on Qian Hutao's face. "Including her, don't treat her differently just because she arrived a few days earlier than you."

She's a businesswoman, and she can tell what kind of people someone is at a glance. Moonie is a loyal friend.

The reason I helped Qian Hutao before was simply because I was involved and didn't want to be accused of indirect murder.

Mingyue was both impressed and surprised, and secretly decided that she would go back and tell her master about the whole thing.

Qian Hutao's face turned pale and then flushed.

If Daya treats the newly arrived Moonie this way, how glamorous would she be if Moonie hadn't betrayed her?

And so, Moonie and the others settled into the vacant room.

With so many people and not enough beds, Song Li went to town and asked a carpenter to custom-make two beds, just like the bunk beds in her dormitory in her previous life.

When the bed was delivered, the villagers all came to see it, curious about it.

Song Li still takes Song Xiaoxiao to town to set up a stall every day.

The previous promotions were very effective, and their business was getting better every day. They couldn't keep up with the demand for cushion foundations, so Moonie and her colleagues sewed powder puffs at home every day.

Song Li also tried to get Shen to work with him.

Three days later, the tax grain was handed over.

Shen was overjoyed and thanked Song Li profusely, almost kneeling down before her.

As the crops in the space were harvested, my experience points rose to level three, and this time I unlocked the gate.

Song Li can finally enter the villa!

Looking at the home she had meticulously decorated in her previous life, Song Li was filled with emotion.

Only then did she realize that there was a note left in the living room.

It's not some magical recipe or secret formula, but rather a method to return to the modern world.

Song Li frowned.

It would be great to go back, but she was crushed to death by a roof beam in her previous life. If she went back now, she would either die or be in a vegetative state. How could she possibly go back?

No sooner had the thought crossed her mind than her phone screen reappeared, showing her body from her past life, lying in a hospital, completely unharmed, waiting for her to return so that her modern body could be restored to its original state.

Song Li couldn't help but be tempted.

But what about Song Xiaoxiao? If she leaves, what will happen to the child?

After leaving the space, Song Li was absent-minded.

Should I go back and continue living my old life?

Or stay?

She was very distressed.

Just then, Song Xiaoxiao and Mei Shujiu were playing in the yard.

Song Li had a sudden thought: "Xiaoxiao, do you want to go to school?"

When she learned that she could return to the modern world, she was tempted. She didn't think she could resist the allure of going back to the modern world.

Just in case, she should teach Song Xiaoxiao more things first, so that if she impulsively leaves, Song Xiaoxiao won't be all alone and unable to support herself.

Song Li took Song Xiaoxiao to the village school.

The students had never seen a girl go to school before, so they all laughed at Song Xiaoxiao. However, with Mei Shujiu protecting her, no one really dared to bully her.

The Shen family also liked Song Xiaoxiao, and specially chose an auspicious day to arrange a marriage between them.

Song Li thought Shen was a nice person, so she agreed.

But she couldn't resist the temptation in the end, and one day when the time was right, she returned to the modern world.

When Song Xiaoxiao woke up the next day, she found her sister with her eyes closed and she couldn't wake her up no matter what she did.

She didn't cry, but sadly picked up the straw doll beside her and sighed, "My sister is gone again..."

She touched the doll and sang the soul-summoning song that Song Li had heard that night.

This time, she wants to find a new older sister to come and keep her company...
