The guards at the gate didn't stop her when they saw her come out, and Song Ning left the Xie residence smoothly through the gate.
She was truly afraid of Xie Linzhou, the sixth brother.
Xie Linzhou created two of the three things she feared most in this world.
She wouldn't believe it wasn't intentional; could there really be such a coincidence?
She dared not stay in the Xie residence any longer.
That one night almost cost her her life.
She was afraid that Xie Linzhou would cause her some more trouble, so she didn't dare to sleep soundly all night.
Fortunately, the weather is much warmer now. Although it's still a bit chilly in the morning, it's bearable.
There were already quite a few breakfast stalls on the street, so Song Ning wasn't in a hurry to go back.
I found a wonton stall where I could sit down and eat, and ordered a bowl of hot, freshly cooked wontons. After taking a sip of the soup, I felt like I had finally come back to life.
Having been hungry all night and not having slept well, Song Ning felt like she was eating a Manchu Han Imperial Feast when she ate a bowl of wontons.
What happened last night can be described as a tribulation.
When Song Ning returned home, before her family could even ask what was wrong, she went inside and fell asleep immediately.
I slept until lunchtime, when I finally woke up groggily.
As soon as she stepped out of the yard, Xu Feng laughed at her, "Are you a pig? Sleeping until now?"
Song Ning ignored him. She had slept well and was in a better mood. If she had run into him earlier that morning, she would have made him regret saying those words.
At lunchtime, Xu Feng finally sat down at the table. In the morning, he had helped Song Dahai organize firewood, water the fields, feed the chickens, and played with Xiao Tao for a while.
Although these tasks weren't tiring, her mother said that she seemed to have few complaints today, and her attitude was much better.
For Xu Feng, compared to yesterday, today's meal was infinitely better.
There was at least meat, and white flour steamed buns, and the soup was delicious.
Xu Feng didn't treat himself like an outsider at all. He had only arrived half a day earlier than Xiao Cui, and he was very informal when eating and talking.
Xiao Cui, on the other hand, was initially hesitant to sit at the table with everyone during the meal, but Song Ning eventually ordered her to sit down obediently.
After dinner, we went to visit Xiao Cui's grandfather, who was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed). When Song Ning came in, Old Man Yu tried to get up, but Song Ning stopped him.
"Rest well first, let Xiao Cui feed you something. Once you're better, I'll have you guys doing chores for me."
Old Man Yu smiled: "Work...good work..."
You can earn a living by working.
As I came out of the house, I saw Xu Feng teasing the chickens with a thin stick, occasionally whistling a couple of times.
"Hey, why isn't your chicken reacting? Is it stupid?"
Song Ning rolled her eyes. "I think you're the idiot."
"Coo, cluck cluck cluck, little chick, little chick, bite it, bite it."
......
Can't we find a normal person? We just got rid of Xie Linzhou, and now this lunatic has appeared.
"Are you crazy? This is a domestic chicken."
"What's wrong with raising chickens? With proper training, they can become great generals. I once trained one of my chickens into an invincible general."
"Come on, don't mess with my chickens."
There's not much work Xu Feng can do at home right now. He can't help with making braised food, and making hair ornaments is out of the question. Thinking about it this way, it seems like he can only do manual labor.
However, Xu Feng is not even ten years old yet, and with his small frame, he probably wouldn't be able to lift anything if he were to do manual labor.
In conclusion, Xu Feng is superfluous in her family.
Or...should we just send him back?
“Young Master Xu, you’re almost ten years old. Hasn’t the magistrate sent you to school yet? I think your brother is already a student at the academy.”
Xu Feng's expression changed. He said he would say anything, as long as they didn't mention studying.
"As long as we don't talk about studying, we can have a normal conversation."
Well, he's still a brat who doesn't like reading.
But he couldn't be completely deprived of work, so when Song Ning went to the fields, he took Xu Feng with him on the way.
The new people who came yesterday have all been registered. Song Ning had a booklet in her hand. She opened it and glanced at it. She now has more than thirty people under her.
Xu Feng glanced at her notebook and scoffed, "Your handwriting is terrible, even worse than mine."
Song Ning glared at him: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
Doesn't she know her writing isn't good? Or is it that she doesn't want to write it well?
"Are all these people here under your jurisdiction?"
Song Ning nodded with great pride.
After walking around the ground for a while, we walked up the mountain next to it. When we got to a certain distance, we saw the place where the village used to be.
Now only a collapsed ruin remains.
Xu Feng was as if he had discovered a new continent, and he kept clicking his tongue in amazement.
Apart from this ruin, the mountain is covered with weeds and trees. Because the mountain is not high, there are no wild animals here, and the people who live here often come up here.
Just as they were about to descend the mountain, Xu suddenly shushed them, saying, "Listen, it sounds like there are voices."
Upon hearing this, Song Ning listened carefully and realized it was true. After hearing what was being said, his face suddenly darkened, and without disturbing the conversation, he went straight down the mountain.
Back at the foot of the mountain, he called over Boss Liu: "Have all the workers arrived for today's work?"
Liu Laoda glanced behind him, only getting a general idea: "They should all be there."
"should?"
Seeing that Song Ning's expression was off, Boss Liu quickly asked, "Boss, what's wrong?"
"Have everyone stop what they're doing and gather here."
Boss Liu gathered everyone together, and Song Ning counted them; two people were missing.
