After leaving Zhang's house, Song Yuehua limped to Qingyun Embroidery Workshop, where Xiaoyu was having class.
"Sister, why did you come to see me at this time? Is there something urgent?" Xiaoyu hurriedly ran out and asked.
Song Yuehua said, "Xiaoyu, give me 30 taels of silver first."
Xiaoyu rolled up her sleeves, bit the thread with her teeth, and pulled out the banknotes stuffed inside. "Sister, take all the 40 taels. I don't need the money for the time being."
Xiaoyu handed over the change in her purse.
Song Yuehua only accepted the banknote and pushed the purse back. "I bought something. 30 taels is enough. I'll come back to you when the time comes."
After taking the money, Song Yuehua turned and left.
Xiaoyu: "..." Don't you even say a word?
When we got back to the inn, Duan Yidao had just returned with a big bag of buns, so we didn't have to go through the trouble of looking for anyone.
"Master Duan, please lend me your 30 taels of silver." Song Yuehua said.
Without saying a word, Duan Yidao took out all the silver from his bag and gave it to Song Yuehua.
The 180 taels of silver were collected, and Song Yuehua called Duan Yidao and went to Grandma Zhang's house together.
The person who opened the door was Granny Zhang. She looked a little strange, and for a moment Song Yuehua thought something else was going on.
"Come in." Grandma Zhang said with a smile.
After Song Yuehua entered the room, she spread the silver on the table and said, "Please order some."
"OK."
Grandma Zhang was counting the silver when Xiaotao from the next room ran over anxiously, "Grandma, come here for a moment."
After counting the silver, Granny Zhang raised her head and said with a stern face, "There's nothing to say. I have the final say on this matter."
"Grandma!" Xiao Tao shouted anxiously.
Song Yuehua said, "Grandma, I'm not in a hurry, please go over and take a look."
Grandma Zhang could only follow Xiao Tao and saw Ah Xing with a gloomy face saying, "Grandma, we don't want to sell the house anymore."
"Why did you call me over here? Are you afraid that others won't know you're back?" Granny Zhang scolded, "Besides, I said this house is mine, I can sell it if I want."
"Grandma!" Ah Xing shouted.
"The house was passed down from our ancestors. How can we face them if we sell it? I've said so much, but you just won't listen. If that's the case, I'll just go back to the Chen family."
"Shut up!"
Grandma Zhang shouted softly, Ah Xing's eyes turned red, and Xiao Tao also started to cry.
Seeing that Ah Xing and Xiao Tao were both crying, Grandma Zhang sighed, "Fatty Chen already knows that you ran away from the Chen family. If Fatty Chen goes to complain without waiting for the Chen family to come, will you get any good results? Houses are dead things, but people are alive. How can you be so stupid?"
Xiao Tao looked up with tears in her eyes and said, "Sister Xing, wherever the three of us are is home."
Ah Xing looked at the house where she had lived since she was a child and said, "Can't we just sell this house? Maybe we'll have a chance to come back in the future..."
"I'm not coming back," said Granny Zhang. "People are gone, and now they're gone. Do you think the house can still belong to you? You might as well exchange it for some silver and take it with you. If you're poor at home, you'll be rich on the road. That way you'll have protection along the way."
"Grandma..."
Granny Zhang was so angry that her chest hurt. "Ah Xing, do you really want to go to the Chen family and be a bed warmer?"
"I..." Ah Xing looked struggling.
"Then shut up and listen to my arrangements," said Granny Zhang in a low voice, "There are people outside. Why did you have to call me in? Can't you open your brain?"
Ah Xing then shut up.
After escaping from Chen's house last night, she said goodbye to her grandmother and hid in the City God Temple.
Originally, Ah Xing planned to escape by herself, but Grandma and Xiao Tao didn't want to, and insisted on staying together. Ah Xing was worried about leaving them here.
We agreed to leave the city together before dawn tomorrow.
During the time Ah Xing was hiding in the City God Temple, she felt uneasy, always worried that something would happen to Grandma and Xiao Tao. She finally avoided everyone and returned home, only to find that Grandma wanted to sell the yard.
This is where Ah Xing and Xiao Tao grew up. If it is sold, there will be nothing left.
After hearing what grandma said, Ah Xing came to her senses and realized that she was indeed too impulsive.
Song Yuehua and Duan Yidao waited outside for a while, and then Granny Zhang came out and said apologetically, "Miss, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I've already found a broker. As long as you bring the registration book, you can go directly to the government office to transfer the house deed."
As long as the deal could be done, Grandma Zhang took Song Yuehua to the county government office. As soon as they went out, Song Yuehua whispered something in Duan Yidao's ear and then followed Grandma Zhang alone.
"Won't your father come with us?" asked Grandma Zhang.
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "He has something else to do, so he has to go back to the inn first."
They found a young broker who never stopped talking from the moment they met. After taking the house deed, he took the two of them into the government office as if they were familiar with the place, and they didn't spend any extra money on the whole trip.
Song Yuehua held the newly issued title deed. She never expected that she would actually buy a house in Qingzhou.
After finishing her business, Grandma Zhang took Song Yuehua back home to get the key, but found that the door of the house was broken in. Not only Ah Xing, but even Xiao Tao was missing.
Thinking of the worst possibility, Grandma Zhang felt her legs go limp and Song Yuehua quickly supported her.
"Grandma, pack up your things and leave quickly." Duan Yidao said as he jumped down from the wall.
"you……"
Granny Zhang glanced at the two of them and immediately asked, "Where did Xiao Tao go?"
"The Chen family is here, so I took the two of them and hid. You should also collect some things quickly." Duan Yidao said quickly and looked into the distance again.
Grandma Zhang reacted quickly and had almost packed her things. She quickly ran back to the house to get her luggage.
"Where did you take all those people?" Song Yuehua asked.
Duan Yidao nodded and said, "Chenghuang Temple. At that time, the Chen family brought a group of people and came aggressively. If you were a little later, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to get the house deed."
Song Yuehua secretly congratulated herself on her luck, as she had acted quickly enough.
When Grandma Zhang came out, Duan Yidao carried Song Yuehua on his back, and the three of them hid from place to place, avoiding everyone, and finally arrived at the City God Temple.
Ah Xing and Xiao Tao were already here. Grandma Zhang was very happy that both of her granddaughters were fine. But when she looked at Song Yuehua and Duan Yidao, she couldn't help but tighten the bag in her hand and asked, "Thank you for saving me. I don't know how I can repay you."
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "If there is a chance in the future, just treat me to a few bowls of fish ball noodles."
Ah Xing knelt down in front of Song Yuehua with a plop, "Miss, I have no way of repaying your kindness. I..."
Seeing Xiao Tao was about to kneel down, Song Yuehua quickly helped them up and said, "No need to be so polite, I just did it for the sake of convenience."
"Master Duan, go to the city gate and see what's going on now."
Duan Yidao nodded and flew away.
Grandma Zhang finally reacted, "Are you two not father and daughter?"
Song Yuehua smiled but said nothing, "If the three of you want to leave the city, it may not be easy."
Ah Xing's face was gloomy. She didn't expect the Chen family to act so quickly. If there was really no other way, she might as well give herself to Chen Ganzi. At least Xiao Tao and Ah Nai could live openly.
