At night, Xiaoquan Village, Wang’s house.

"Zhiwu, can what Mr. Jia promised really come true?" Old man Wang asked in a deep voice, sitting on the couch, staring at the small candle flame.

"Of course it can be done. Oh! If it weren't for those little girls from the Xie family, there would be no need for so much money. Thirty taels is enough for my son to marry several wives."

Old Mrs. Wang was sitting on the ground weaving a straw mat, cursing as she went along. Wang Dan frowned and ignored her complaints. The other families in the house had already gone to bed, and the yard was quiet.

He walked outside, and Wang Zhiwu followed him tactfully.

Wang Dan sighed, "It's my fault too. The fourth family could have directly exchanged the house this time, but your second sister-in-law Fei Jue's eldest brother and you took the lion's share, so he got nothing and felt unfair, so he made a scene."

Wang Zhiwu responded in a low voice, "Yes, Dad. I won't blame my second brother." But he lowered his head and his expression could not be seen clearly.

"I thought that the fourth son's wife could be sold for some money. There is no one in her family, but the fourth son is on the same side with her. Alas!"

They were all planning to take action, but Su Qingqing could read, and she seemed to feel it was dangerous, so she went to the village.

"That old man is still here. There are many people in this village and many eyes are watching. All of a sudden, all the widows and orphans are gone. If someone reports this, it will be bad."

Wang Dan felt a little regretful, "I didn't expect that Su Qingqing actually has the support of the Xie family." If he waited a few more days, the mother and daughter would definitely not be able to escape.

"Father, Su Qingqing can't be moved. The people from the Xie family are not simple. It would be good if we can settle it with money!" Wang Zhiwu's expression contained a warning.

His father rarely did the things he used to do since he fled to Xiaoquan Village, but he would still feel like doing them from time to time. But now they are good citizens.

For his clothes, he had to keep an eye on his parents. But when his father saw Master Jia, they hit it off immediately and had a great time talking. He didn't understand the jargon they were talking about, but the private school in their village was specifically requested by Master Jia.

Mr. Jia promised to send a teacher to teach, but he wanted to change it to a girls' school. The tuition fee was low, and he also provided one meal at noon. I don't know what the school is about, but I heard that if a girl passes the screening, her family will get a large sum of money.

He always felt that Mr. Jia's business was a little strange, but those girls were sent to the capital to work, so he thought they would have a good future.

"If you take over the private school that Master Jia promised, you will be given fifty taels! This is not a small amount," Wang Dan glanced at his son's young face.

He said with a hint of meaning: "We will just sell the private school to Master Jia, and you should not interfere with the rest."

Old man Wang raised his head and glanced outside the yard. "The business he does is very valuable. We can't afford it."

Wang Zhiwu stared at his father's back, his eyes flashing. His father didn't say anything about the valuable business, but his father was a smart man, and he got his position as an official by spending money from Mr. Jia.

I don't know what my father and Mr. Jia talked about, but taking advantage of the momentum of the Xie family's primary school, many girls' schools were built in many villages near Pingcheng, and I heard that many people went there.

He had seen it from a distance several times, but his father would not let him get close, as if there was something unclean about it and he was afraid that he would be contaminated by it.

In the guest room of the Xie family's house, Su Qingqing and Su Liuzhi were packing their things with the help of lanterns in the corridor outside.

"Mom, we will never go back to Xiaoquan Village, okay?" Su Liuzhi already understood that her mother had taken her away completely, and she would no longer be a member of the Wang family.

Su Qingqing smiled and said, "You have to take the junior high school entrance exam tomorrow, so you won't have time to go back."

"Ah! We really have to take an exam!" Su Liuzhi wailed.

"But the girls' school in Xiaoquan Village doesn't have to take exams. Sister Hua and the others just listen to the female teacher talk about life in the big city in class. At most, they learn some embroidery." Liu Zhi felt a little panicked. In her mind, primary school and girls' school were almost the same!

"That's different. Xie's primary school is ranked based on scores. If you do well in the exam, I heard you can get a piece of the cake." Su Qingqing knew Qingdai's identity on the way here, and she was thankful for her luck.

She also looked forward to the junior high school. Seeing her daughter's reluctance, she just found it funny. "Don't be silly. You don't know how lucky you are. If you don't want to go, I'll tell your sister Qingdai tomorrow to change someone else!"

"Oh! I can go, I can go." Su Liuzhi was still a little dazed at this time. She and her mother got out of the mud pit of Wang's family so easily.

She still feels it is unreal: "Mother, I heard from Sister Qingdai that it costs thirty-five taels to go to primary school. If I really go, how will I live in the future?"

Su Liuzhi knew that her mother had no source of income, and her mother spent all her money on her, so how would she live in the future?

Su Qingqing patted her daughter's head and said, "Don't worry, your mother can still read a few words and has found a job as a manager under the Lady."

She stared at the moon in the sky, and her heart was filled with excitement when she thought of the listless lady in red sitting in the carriage today, who was the famous lady of the Xie family.

At that time, she was talking to Qingdai, and when they talked about the Heishiwei Textile Factory, Qingdai mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that they were in need of a literate accountant.

She was so excited that she opened her mouth to beg. But she didn't expect Qingdai to smile and look at the girl in red lying next to her.

The lady in red just glanced at her nonchalantly and said, "Okay." Then Su Qingqing happily got the job as a manager in the textile factory.

When she got off the car, she heard the eldest wife call her Sister Xian, and then she realized that the person traveling with her was Xie Xian.

"Mother, the sister in red clothes on the bus today is so awesome!"

Su Qingqing was puzzled. She only found out when she got off the car, how did her daughter know? "How did Zhizhi know that the sister in red clothes was so powerful?"

"Mother didn't see it, but Third Uncle looked at me in a very scary way. But the sister in red just snorted, and Third Uncle didn't dare to say anything."

In the young Su Liuzhi's mind, Xie Xian was very impressive for driving away the enemy.

"Oh! Weren't you most afraid of your grandma before? Why are you afraid of your uncle again?"

"Grandma just uses her hands. She always pulls my mouth and asks me to check my teeth. The look in Uncle San's eyes is the same as the way Hu Zi looks at meat and vegetables." The younger daughter rubbed her arms as she spoke.

Su Qingqing frowned when she heard this. She knew that the Wang family had fled here due to famine and had only settled here for more than 20 years. But a few years ago, for some unknown reason, her husband had a falling out with the family.

That's when she moved out, and she got married at that time, but her husband never let her and Liuzhi stay alone in the Wang family.

She always reminded people to be careful of the Wang family. She guessed in her heart that her husband knew something, but due to the relationship between their families, she could not say it out loud, and she became depressed afterwards.

Every time he drank, he would shout that he was guilty, but if asked, he would not say more. As time went by, we rarely visited each other.

But this time, after her husband passed away, Su Qingqing saw on the day of his burial that her parents-in-law stared at her and her daughter with creepy eyes.

Su Qingqing had some guesses in her mind, but in order to protect herself, in addition to reporting to the head of the village, she also asked for help from the clan. Thinking of the plans of King Jingtian's family, Su Qingqing shuddered.

Fortunately, everything is over.
