Over here, Old Madam Gongsun is talking with the new group of people.
When she met Dr. Tong, her eyes were filled with tears as well.
"Big sister, I'm so glad to finally meet you!"
"Sister!" Old Madam Gongsun, upon hearing about the recent events at Miaorentang, also wiped away her tears in sorrow.
"Luckily you all came with Madam An, otherwise it would have been even more dangerous if things had gotten chaotic."
Doctor Tong also sighed. Even now, she still felt a sense of loss, as if her sudden departure was like abandoning those people.
Old Madam Gongsun was such a shrewd person. When she saw Doctor Tong sighing in front of her, she instantly guessed his worries and comforted him.
"Tongmei, don't worry too much about this. There will definitely be another chance to visit in the future! The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your health. I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and you look so haggard."
Dr. Tong sighed. Who could have known that so many things would happen in just a few months?
“Let’s not continue this conversation. You’ve come all the way from the provincial capital, you must be exhausted. I’ll have Momo assign you houses, and you can choose one.”
Xia Yan and Tong Yiwen, who were following behind, exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves, "They actually give out houses in this desolate mountain?"
"Of course, the house can't be given away for free. After all, it was built brick by brick by everyone, and it wasn't easy for anyone."
The group behind them nodded. It was already kind of them that the barren mountain was willing to take them in, so they naturally wouldn't take advantage of them.
"Grandma Gongsun, just tell me how much silver is needed to buy these houses!" Liang Shuhao said confidently.
The timing of her rebirth was quite coincidental. It happened shortly after she married into the Marquis's family and had just started supporting her entire family with her dowry, leaving her with a lot of money that she hadn't had time to spend.
She has nothing but money these days!
"Yes, elder sister, I've also saved up quite a bit of silver. How much do you want for those houses? Just give me a price, whatever it is!"
Along the way, Dr. Tong took in many of the houses in the barren mountains. These houses were all very well built, and each house had a spacious courtyard surrounded by beautiful camellias.
She really loved this house and felt she would be willing to spend any amount of money on it.
However, Murong Xun, who was standing next to him, was rather short of money. Before he was exiled, his entire family's property was confiscated, and he really didn't have much silver left.
As for the apprentices, none of them came from prominent families, and they had been searched by the officials before they arrived, so they were not allowed to carry too much money.
Moreover, there are a lot of them, and one or two houses are definitely not enough to accommodate them. What can they do?
"Grandma Gongsun, we were actually exiled here, and we probably don't have much money on us. Otherwise, we could..."
Murong Xun ultimately couldn't bring himself to say the words "borrow on credit."
"What money?" Old Madam Gongsun asked with a smile.
"Silver doesn't circulate in the barren mountains right now, you can buy a house by spending contribution points."
"Contribution points?" Xia Yan and Tong Yiwen asked in unison.
"Most of these houses only cost 1,000 contribution points, and you can earn those contribution points in just one or two months."
Lin Mo, who was standing next to Old Madam Gongsun, spoke up to explain.
Upon hearing this, Xia Yan and Tong Yiwen immediately perked up.
Is there really such a good thing? You only need to work for two months to buy your own house. Who could resist such a temptation?
Xia Yan patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I'm the most hardworking. I can sweep the whole village by myself. From now on, leave all the cleaning work on the barren mountain to me. I guarantee that these two villages will be clean every day, and even the pigsties will smell delicious!"
Anyway, she wasn't planning on leaving. This desolate mountain had the most abundant magic in the whole world, enough to support her in casting spells, so of course she was going to stay. It was just work, right? She was a workaholic, capable of doing the work of dozens of people!
As long as she has enough magic, she can command dozens of magical brooms to do the work by herself!
Tong Yiwen, standing nearby, chimed in, "Me too! If anyone in the village has a headache or fever, just come to me or Grandma. We'll be there for you!"
"If you want to learn medicine, feel free to come and learn. I will teach you everything I know!"
