"Scholar Shen, I've heard about your family's situation from the Qin family's young man."
It's almost the twelfth lunar month, and now that you've received your stipend, you still have to pay off your debts.
Your father and wife both still need to take medicine. This money is an advance from Chijia'ao for you to buy things.
Three hundred coins a month, that's three taels and six hundred coins a year. Even with these two taels, we're still short one tael and six hundred coins.
From now on, as long as you continue teaching, we will give you 130 coins each month, and the remaining 170 coins in the last month.
During festivals and holidays, it depends on how the clan makes arrangements; my opinion doesn't count.
What do you think?
Shen Zhaochen didn't expect the people of Chijia'ao to be so understanding.
He hadn't even gone there yet, let alone started teaching, and the other party had already paid him in advance.
Upon hearing this, he reached out to take it, his expression becoming exceptionally serious as he said:
"Okay, I'll follow the village's arrangements. And thank you for the money!"
Chi Qiao didn't say anything more, but waved to the other party before leaving with Qin Mu.
Time flies by in the midst of busyness.
Two days before Chi Qiao was scheduled to return, everyone in Chijia'ao was unusually busy.
First, the fishpond was built.
It was the Chi family, no, it was the entire Chijia'ao community. After a few busy days, every household, regardless of gender, sent people to help her.
To them, Chi Yu was not only their only great-aunt among the younger generation, but also their benefactor who helped them through difficult times.
She is currently their benefactor and also a kind girl who makes things convenient for them.
So, once the shop was built, the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) was also installed.
Chi Yu moved the goods from the main room, and everyone gradually came to buy things.
Whether it was buying a piece of candy or a ounce of lamp oil, no one left empty-handed.
This made her shop's business seem even more prosperous.
Secondly, on the second day after the Chiyu Shop opened, the people of Chijia'ao finally decided on the people to go hunting wild boar.
Those wild boars were simply too rampant.
This was the second time they had come down the mountain, and this time, they went directly to the villagers' homes.
The group decided to go into the mountains and hunt it down, to stop that thing from coming down from time to time to bother them.
Of the two animals that had previously run into a villager's house and been hunted down, the smallest one was eventually bought by Chi Yu.
It was cold, so she left half of it, dug out a thick layer of ice from outside, and froze it not far from the kitchen.
The remaining half, after eating the "pig-killing feast," was made into cured pork, cured pork ribs, and other dishes with the help of the second and third sisters-in-law.
Meanwhile, half a day later, Chi Qing and the others finally approached Wangshan Village, Huang Cuihua's maternal home, just before dark.
Because of the large number of people and Huang Cuihua's interference, their journey was extremely difficult.
Before they even reached Wangshan Village, they could see a brand-new house with blue bricks and tiles in the distance.
Liu Qingshan walked ahead with a weary and helpless expression, not even glancing at the half-dead Huang Cuihua.
He pointed to the conspicuous house and said to everyone:
“That house was built with the silver that Huang Cuihua stole from me.”
Without waiting for anyone to speak, he glared fiercely at Huang Cuihua.
Then a fierce glint flashed across his face, and his tone was filled with vengeful pleasure as he said hatefully:
"Everything in their house, from tables and chairs to pots and pans, was bought with my money."
Whoever grabs it today keeps it. If you can't grab it, then set a fire and burn it for me.
I admit I'm useless; I always think that if I just endure it, the days will pass.
