It was not easy for those sold out by the imperial court to become good citizens, and the three men had no intention of doing so.
The host was willing to keep it a secret. As long as they were in this village and in this school, they were no different from ordinary people and were even respected.
This is something they would never dare to dream of.
Song Yuehua said to the three people, "You are the teachers I invited. I will treat you well. As long as you do your job well, I will not treat you unfairly. As for the monthly salary..."
Master Yi hurriedly said, "Miss, please don't mention the monthly allowance anymore. I have been through many unforeseen events in my life, and it is a great fortune that I can meet you. I dare not be greedy anymore..."
Duan Yidao also responded excitedly, "That's right, that's right, Lao Yi is right!"
Song Yuehua coughed twice and said, "This is what I plan to do with the monthly salary."
"The indentures of the two masters are 10 taels each, and Madam Xia is 5 taels. The master will receive 2 taels of silver per month, and Madam Xia will receive 400 coins. Once the indentures are deducted, you will naturally receive your monthly salary."
The three wanted to say something else.
Song Yuehua waved her hand and continued, "Sew the bedding tonight, and you can move in tomorrow!"
After returning, Madam Xia, Xiaoyu and others started working again.
I sewed one set of bedding in one night, and didn't finish the second set until the next night.
The room for Master Yi and his wife had been prepared long ago. It was located on the east side of the school's backyard, connected to the study.
However, Master Duan, who had not made any arrangements before, called back the craftsmen temporarily and converted the room on the east side of the front yard of the school near the gate into a kang room, which was next to the firewood room.
After the three of them moved into the school, Song Yuehua took Dabao and Xiaobao home and went to the county town to buy a lot of daily necessities.
When I got home and counted the silver, I only had 5 taels left.
Lying on the bed, Song Yuehua sighed.
The school will have a lot of expenses in the early stages, and we also have to buy land. The land tax is not heavy now, and as long as we have land, the problem of food in the future will be solved.
In addition to fertile land, it is best to buy some wasteland and grow other things.
Just when I was calculating my future expenses, I suddenly heard a thud, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.
Song Yuehua got up quickly, walked to the door quietly, picked up a stick, and went out sideways through the crack in the door.
In the dim moonlight, a limping dark figure was sneaking around the kitchen.
Song Yuehua felt a little regretful that she didn't take the bow just now.
The black shadow groped around and seemed not very familiar with the place.
Song Yuehua hid behind a pillar, watching the man coming over here, clenching the wooden stick in her hand.
The shadow is getting closer.
Seizing the opportunity, Song Yuehua suddenly jumped up and hit the man on the back with a stick.
"Ah!" the black shadow screamed.
While Song Yuehua shouted "Catch the thief", she hit the thief with the stick in her hand.
"Stop hitting me! Daya, stop hitting me, it's me, it's me!" The black shadow begged for mercy loudly.
Song Yuehua thought to herself, I know it was you, and I’m going to hit you, Song Lao Er!
Xie Wenwu came out barefoot. Song Yuehua raised her head and said calmly, "Go put on your shoes."
"Master..." After Xie Wenwu saw clearly, he ran back to put on his shoes.
Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu came out with an oil lamp, and as soon as they went out, they saw Song Laoer's grinning face.
The two girls were so scared that they took a step back. Xiaoyu turned around and went back to the house without saying a word and took out a bundle of hemp ropes.
Duan Yidao from the school climbed over the wall and jumped in front of the two of them. He asked anxiously, "Girl, are you okay?"
Song Yuehua, "..." It was fine before, but now it's a problem. Everyone, don't take the wall seriously, right?
Duan Yidao took the rope from Xiaoyu and tied Song Laoer tightly. Because he tied it too hard, Song Laoer cried out in pain.
There was a knock on the door outside.
Xie Wenwu opened the door and saw Master Yi and Madam Xia.
"We heard the girl's voice. Is she okay?" the couple were very anxious.
"It's okay, it's okay." Xie Wenwu brought the man in and said, "Fortunately, my master is full of vigor and blood, and beat the thief inhumanely. Don't worry, the two of you!"
Master Yi: "..." He remembered that this child learned martial arts from Old Duan, so he should not be under his charge.
Madam Xia glanced at the stunned Master Yi and could hardly hold back her laughter.
Song Yuehua pointed at Song Lao Er and said, "Please both of you be witnesses. I'm going to the headman's house."
After saying that, Song Yuehua went out with the oil lamp.
Zhou Lizheng and many villagers came quickly and saw Song Laoer tied up like a dead fish in the yard. They cursed angrily, "Song Er, I didn't expect you to be so capable that you dare to steal from your own family!"
"It's unfair!" Song Lao Er shouted, "I didn't mean to break in, how could I steal anything? Instead, it was this girl who beat me up and made my head bleed. Uncle Zhou, you have to help me!"
"Breaking in unintentionally?" Zhou Li smiled righteously, "Then tell me, how did you break in unintentionally when the village is so far away? How did you break in unintentionally when the wall is so high?"
"Village head!" Gou Wa Zi ran over and pointed outside, saying, "There is a ladder outside the wall."
Zhou Lizheng looked at Song Laoer, "Song Laoer, do you have anything else to say?"
Seeing that he had no way to deny it, Song Lao Er could only cry, "Uncle Zhou, I was possessed by a ghost, but I was beaten and bleeding as soon as I entered the yard. I didn't take anything. Uncle Zhou, please let me go..."
Zhou Lizheng asked Song Yuehua, "Did you lose anything?"
Song Yuehua said, "I lost 10 taels of silver."
"You're talking nonsense!" Song Lao Er said angrily. He was tied up and threw himself into the passage. "Uncle Zhou, believe me, Song Daya is just trying to blackmail me. Search me, I don't have a single penny on me. Uncle, search me!"
