On the way back, Song Yuehua said to Liang Yanniang, "Don't rush to do the laundry. You have just recovered, so take it easy."
"The wages here aren't much, but they can provide you with food and shelter, and at least your life will be stable. Hou Wu is a broker, and he can introduce you to any job he can find..."
Suddenly, Liang Yanniang knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her.
"Miss Song, we have no relatives, and you saved our family's lives. I can't repay you even if I work like a slave. Miss Song, I..."
Liang Yanniang was so emotional that she couldn't stop crying.
Song Yuehua squatted down and asked her, "Do you want to walk by yourself, or do you want me to carry you?"
"I... I can walk by myself." Liang Yanniang crawled to her feet.
Song Yuehua never thought of herself as a good person. Liang Yanniang was about to die at that time.
If she still had some humanity in her, she wouldn't have abandoned the three of them.
The children who stole the offerings had a great shock to her, and she didn't want the Pan brothers and sisters to suffer the same fate.
I originally thought of sending him to the clinic, leaving some money behind and that would be it.
What she didn't expect was that she didn't meet a single decent doctor along the way. All they met were quacks who only cared about money and not morality.
I was so angry that I brought the person back.
Looking back now, I was indeed a bit impulsive.
Since she was already here, she might as well be a good person and help find a job.
After dinner, it was still early.
Song Yuehua asked Zhou Xiaohu to go to the Hou Mansion to help build the wall, and Xu Ji also said, "Sister Song, I will go too."
"Girl, I'm going too." Pei Feng said from the side.
Song Yuehua looked at Pei Feng and said, "I originally wanted you to return to Wenzhou as soon as possible, but in your current condition, you should wait until your head injury heals before leaving. You have been driving the carriage all day today and you must be tired. You should take a good rest."
"Girl, I'm really not tired, why do you always ask me to take a rest..." Pei Feng said in a low voice with his head down.
Song Yuehua, "..."
"Then come and help." Song Yuehua said.
The Hou family has a total of four side rooms. The courtyard itself is not very big, and a wall is built in the middle to divide it into two smaller courtyards.
There is already a family renting the east room, and someone is going to live in the west room too. It would be best to build a wall so that the two families will not disturb each other.
When Song Yuehua and others came over, Hou Wu was mixing mud.
After greeting everyone, none of them said much. Some were fetching water, while others were building walls.
With so many people helping, the last small piece was quickly put together.
That night, Liang Yanniang and her family of three moved in.
Song Yuehua didn't care about what happened next.
The next day.
Song Yuehua arrived at the chess hall early, but unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaofu arrived even earlier than her.
"Sister Song!"
Zhao Xiaofu pushed the wheelchair and said, "Yesterday Xu Ji said you were back, and I thought he was joking."
Song Yuehua came to sit behind the counter and said, "I came back yesterday. I had a lot of things to do. I also went to the Hou family to help build a wall in the evening. I wanted to come earlier today, but I didn't come as early as you."
After hearing what she said, Zhao Xiaofu was shocked.
"I just came back yesterday and went to build a wall at night. You got up so early today. Sister Song, you must be made of iron."
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "It sounds impressive, but it's not bad."
"Boss!"
Xiang Xiaoyu and Xiang Chen entered the store together and saw Song Yuehua.
Xiaoyu came over quickly and said with a smile, "When I left, I was wondering if I could see the boss today. I guess the Bodhisattva heard my prayer."
Song Yuehua was amused by her, "I haven't seen you for more than a month, and you are getting sweeter and sweeter."
Xiang Chen was not so enthusiastic. After saying hello, the three of them started working.
Song Yuehua flipped through the account book. For the whole month of March, the expenses for food and chess table remained unchanged, but Xiang Chen's chess coaching expenses more than tripled.
Zhao Xiaofu explained, "For more than a month, Qi Juncai has been coming to the chess hall to play chess all day long. He doesn't like to play chess with others, and only plays chess with Xiang Chen. Once, he encountered Xiang Chen playing chess with others, so he simply booked Xiang Chen's chess instruction for a day at the price of one tael a day."
"One ounce of silver a day?"
This amount of money seems to be a lot, but it is not actually the case.
If one day Qi Juncai doesn't come, and the guests get used to not having guidance chess, then the game of guidance chess will be over.
50 wen per hour, 10 wen per hour, he can earn 200 wen per day.
What Song Yuehua wants is a healthy and long-term development, not quick money.
"Sister Song..."
Zhao Xiaofu looked at Song Yuehua who was silent, thinking that he had done something wrong.
Song Yuehua said, "I went to Wenzhou and learned about the Hailin Banquet there. With our current chess club's chess strength, I'm afraid we won't even be able to make it to the end. Xiang Chen can try to participate in the individual competition."
Xiang Chen was wiping the table when Song Yuehua called him over and asked him if he would like to attend the Hailin Banquet.
"Girl, I can't do it..." Xiang Chen said blushing.
Song Yuehua asked curiously, "Have you participated in it?"
Xiang Chen stuttered as soon as he opened his mouth, so Xiang Xiaoyu simply answered for him.
"There was a teacher who taught my prince in the past. His chess skills were much better than my prince's. He participated in the Hailin Banquet once, but he didn't even make it to the official competition."
After hearing this, Song Yuehua felt disappointed. If even Xiang Chen couldn't squeeze in, then there was really nothing she could do.
It seems that I can only go to the Hailin Banquet this year to watch the fun.
Song Yuehua looked at Xiang Chen again, "I also know about Qi Juncai's chess coaching. What do you think?"
"I..." Xiang Chen hesitated for a long time, and Song Yuehua became a little impatient.
