Escape after crossing

Shitou seemed a little uneasy sitting on the stool, and Mingyue asked him when she saw him.

"Shi Tou, what's wrong? Are things going wrong?" Shi Tou looked at Ming Yue, not knowing how to start. He was angry at himself for being stupid and not being able to get things done properly.

Seeing that Shitou didn't say anything, Mingyue looked at Erya and her sister, but the two sisters didn't know what had happened. They were only concerned about thanking their benefactor and didn't pay attention to Shitou's situation.

Although the two didn't know what was going on, they persuaded Shi Tou to tell the truth so that they could solve it together.

Although Shitou felt guilty, he still had to do the job, so he told the person what happened.

The few families that Shitou visited were indeed those who were close to him, but the way he expressed it was wrong. What Jiang Ziluo meant was that it takes several years to learn medicine, and during these years, except when it is necessary, the children are not allowed to go home or be visited by their families.

When they have learned it, they can go to the pharmacy for internship, and the children can go home often. At this time, they will be asked to sign a ten-year contract. After ten years, when the contract expires, Jiang Ziluo will ask them whether they want to continue signing, sign for a few more years, or not sign at all.

What Shitou said was that when the children were learning to read, they were not allowed to see their family members. After they learned to read, they had to sign a contract to sell themselves to the master's family. Every family was quite happy when they heard that they were asked to learn to read, and they even asked whether they had to pay money.

Shitou said no, but when he heard that he had to sign a contract to sell himself and didn't pay for it, he stopped listening. He said it was not yet time to sell his children, and then he was kicked out.

After hearing this, Mingyue was both angry and amused. She called Mingxi and asked her to stay with the two sisters while she followed Shitou for another trip.

Mingyue followed him and visited several houses that Shitou had visited before one by one. Almost every family treated Shitou coldly when they came back. Some even closed the gate and refused to let them in.

Mingyue had to persuade the gate to open again after a lot of effort. After listening to Mingyue's explanation, he confirmed again and again that there was no tuition fee for these studies? And the meals and accommodation were really provided?

After getting Mingyue's final answer, almost every family was still not sure. Then Mingyue took the people from several families back to the inn and asked them to sign the contract on the spot.

Originally, Jiang Ziluo asked Shitou to return to the inn later because he wanted Shitou to bring willing families to sign a contract that would allow their children to study medicine and that they could not quit halfway.

As for the contract after completing the study, it would be signed after completing the study. Mingyue was now bringing people back to the inn, which was in line with Jiang Ziluo's wishes.

When they returned to the inn, Jiang Ziluo had rested well, but Xuan San and the others had not returned yet. Although Mingxi was accompanying the Erya sisters, his mind was always on the crayfish.

She had been paying attention to the waiters' actions. Since there were new crayfish, a lot of ingredients needed to be prepared, so they were all peeling garlic cloves at the moment.

Jiang Ziluo came downstairs and saw Erya and her sister were there, but he didn't see Shitou, so he asked, "Why don't you see Shitou? Didn't you come with us?"

The two people who were peeling garlic cloves saw Jiang Ziluo coming down and stood up in a hurry. Maybe they stood up too quickly, and Sister Erya didn't stand steadily and sat down again.

Jiang Ziluo hurried over and took Sister Erya's pulse again. There was no big problem. Apart from malnutrition, her body was still very weak and needed to be replenished slowly. She would be fine after that.

Jiang Ziluo then remembered that he had taken the pulses of the three children before and forgot to prescribe medicine for them. While he was thinking about prescribing medicine, Mingyue and Shitou came in with their people.

Jiang Ziluo looked at Mingyue. Mingyue quickly walked to Jiang Ziluo and whispered a few words to him. Then Jiang Ziluo asked Mingyue to get paper and pen, and asked Manager Liu to come over.

Originally, there was no need to trouble Manager Liu with this matter, but after hearing what Mingyue said just now, Jiang Ziluo decided to let Manager Liu come and get it to give the families some reassurance.

After Shopkeeper Liu came over, Jiang Ziluo told the contents of the contract he needed to write in front of several families, and then Shopkeeper Liu took the pen and wrote it out.

Several families were illiterate, let alone able to write, so they pressed their fingerprints. Of course, before pressing their fingerprints, Manager Liu specifically asked them once more whether they had heard the contents clearly.

Some families might not believe Jiang Ziluo, but Huajianfu Restaurant is an old restaurant in Qinghe County, so they no longer doubt it and just confirm it again: no money is accepted?

They were unwilling to believe that such a good thing could happen, but after signing the contract, they finally felt it was true. Jiang Ziluo asked them to leave and send the child to Huajianfu tomorrow.

After several families left, Jiang Ziluo asked Shitou, "Are these the only ones?"

"Girl, these are the ones I'm familiar with, the others are just neighbors."

"Oh, then let's talk about your business. Has Shitou told you sisters? You can learn, but you still have to be responsible for everyone's daily life. Of course, you don't have to take care of everything. The best thing is to let everyone be independent. This is not your business either. I will send someone to take care of it."

After Jiang Ziluo finished speaking, the two sisters Erya stood up and said happily, "Of course we are willing, thank you young lady."

Jiang Ziluo asked Mingxi to call the three children over, and Manager Liu wrote a few more contracts and gave the three children names.

Shopkeeper Liu said that it was a blessing for these children to meet Jiang Ziluo, so he gave them three names: Fu'an, Fusheng, and Fuyun.

Seeing this, Erya's elder sister boldly asked, "Miss, can you give us two sisters a name as well?"

"Your names were given by your parents. It's hard to change them now, right?" Although Jiang Ziluo felt that the name Erya was too vulgar, Jiang Ziluo, who grew up in the village, had heard such names many times.

"Just like Manager Liu said, it is our blessing to meet the girl. Let's change her name and hope that we will have less suffering in the future." After saying this, Sister Erya lowered her head again.

Jiang Ziluo saw how much this girl had suffered to support two people. Jiang Ziluo looked at Shopkeeper Liu, who nodded.

"Girl, just give them a new name. I hope everything will go better in the future. You've suffered so much before. Change your name and change your life."

"At this time, I don't know what to name them."

"It's almost summer now, everything is flourishing and competing for beauty, girl, please consider choosing a name with good meaning."

"Okay, let me think about it. You guys stay for dinner and then go back. Give me some time to think about it."

Then everyone got busy again. Jiang Ziluo asked Mingyue to buy a few sets of clothes for the two sisters. Although the restaurant was a little busy today because of the new dishes, it was okay with a few more people helping out.

After Xuan San and the other person came back, Jiang Ziluo talked about who should stay. In the end, Wang Wu stayed. Xuan San went out and brought back someone, who would take care of this place temporarily with Wang Wu.

Jiang Ziluo left enough silver and made an agreement with Manager Liu that someone would come with her letter in a few days, and Manager Liu would be asked to take that person to the new house.

After dinner, Jiang Ziluo also gave Erya and her sister a name, Yining and Yilan. They were very happy to have new names, and they sounded so good.

The matter in Qinghe County also came to an end. Before dawn the next day, Jiang Ziluo took Xuan San, Ming Yue and Ming Xi back to Jiangdu City.
