Quickly wear a life of peace

When Song Qingning was seven years old, he digested the insights he gained from time travel. Not only did his spiritual power recover, but it became even stronger, and the two leaves became more lustrous.

After waking up, Song Qingning didn't change much. Although he looked stupid before, he was actually just slow in reaction.

Now that Song Qingning is better, her family just thinks that she has grown up and believes that she is just growing slowly.

Ever since Song Qingning recovered last year, the Song family hired a female teacher to teach her music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The mistress Zhang also hired a nanny from the palace to teach her etiquette and rules.

Aunt Wang was particularly grateful and took Song Qingning to thank the mistress.

This winter is particularly cold, and the snowflakes fell early.

Song Qingning's maid Xiaohe was worried all day long and never smiled.

This is not the behavior of a qualified maid.

However, Xiao He has always taken good care of Song Qingning, so Song Qingning did not blame her. Instead, he was a little worried that something might have happened to her.

"Xiao He, what's wrong with you recently? You look so gloomy all day long. Did something happen to you?"

Song Qingning's nanny has been resting in the house these two days because of the snow and her leg pain has recurred. Otherwise, she would have scolded Xiaohe a long time ago.

She knew she had made a mistake and affected her daughter, but Song Qingning was always tolerant, so Xiao He was not too scared. "Please forgive me, young lady. It is my fault. I made you worry."

As he said this, he knelt down and began to plead guilty, forcing a smile.

Seeing her smile that was uglier than crying, Song Qingning quickly called her up and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Tell me if there is anything. Maybe I can help you."

Xiao He's eyes immediately filled with tears. She still didn't stand up, and choked up and said, "Miss, I have a problem at home. My brother told me a few days ago that my father broke his leg. Our family is in financial difficulty and can't afford medicine. I'm afraid he will become disabled in the future."

Xiao He was not a family-born child, but a refugee who had fled here two years ago.

The family could no longer survive, so Xiao He sold herself in order to save everyone's life.

At that time, Censor Song happened to be out with his colleagues and wanted to see the situation of the refugees.

Seeing that they had rosy complexions and their clothes were made of fine materials, Xiao He guessed that they were all noble people, so she wanted to try her luck.

We were here for business, so how could we just take someone home who came from nowhere? So we refused.

Coincidentally, Xiao He's family came looking for them after discovering that their child was missing.

When he saw Xiao He, he rushed over, slapped her, blamed her for running around, and wanted to pull her back.

Xiao He still wanted to exchange some food for her family, so she naturally refused to go back and started struggling.

As a result, when she struggled, Censor Song and others thought she had encountered human traffickers and stopped her.

At this moment, Xiao He's family also thought that they had encountered human traffickers who wanted to kidnap their child, and a dispute broke out between the two sides.

They were seen by the City Patrol, who arrested them all and took them aside for interrogation, which cleared up the misunderstanding.

Censor Song and his companions wanted to pay some compensation, which would not only put an end to the matter but also help the family get through the difficult times.

But the family didn't dare to accept it for fear of retaliation, and Xiao He insisted on selling herself in exchange for food for her family.

After some deliberation, Censor Song thought of his own little daughter, Xiao He, who was about the same age and could serve as a companion, so he impulsively agreed to take Xiao He in.

However, although Xiao He was taken away, she was not signed a contract to sell herself. Xiao He was from a good family, so it was considered an employment relationship.

In order to keep the family together, Xiao He's family did not choose to return to their hometown when arranging for the refugees. Instead, they stayed in the capital, rented two acres of land in the suburbs, and did odd jobs to make a living.

After Xiao He came to the Song family, she was grateful and took extra care of Song Qingning. Everyone in the Song family, even the mistress Zhang and concubine Wang, who were unhappy at first, were very satisfied with her.

Xiao He was reluctant to spend the monthly salary and bonus money she received in the past two years, and sent it all back home.

Because her family couldn't buy land, they reclaimed three acres of land themselves. Together with the two acres of land they rented, as well as the money they earned from odd jobs and Xiao He, they lived a decent life.

Xiao He's brother Niu Dazhu got engaged this year and will be able to get married next year.

Unexpectedly, her father Niu Manshan and her brother went up the mountain to chop firewood to sell in the city. The road was slippery due to the snow and the firewood was too heavy. Her father lost his balance and fell.

Niu Dazhu dropped the firewood and carried his father to see a doctor.

Niu Manshan was worried about the firewood and refused to leave. As a result, he wasted a long time in the snow. When he arrived at the clinic, the doctor said that he could only use good medicine and take good care of himself for a few months. Otherwise, the root of the disease would remain.

But this good medicine costs one tael of silver for one dose, so at least a dozen doses are needed.

Niu Manshan was worried about the money and didn't want to treat it. He thought that at most he would just limp a little, which was not good-looking but would not be a big deal.

Moreover, Niu Dazhu is getting married soon, and there are many places to spend money. They have no ability to earn money, so they try to save as much as possible.

Niu Dazhu had no choice but to ask his sister for help, hoping that she would help him persuade his father.

But after Xiao He returned home, not only did she fail to persuade Niu Manshan, but it made him feel even more guilty. He felt that he was incapable of supporting his children and was unwilling to be a burden to them.

Xiao He has been absent-minded these days because she is worried about her father's health.

After Song Qingning understood the whole story, he took out his own savings and gave Xiaohe ten taels of silver.

Although it was not enough to cover all the medical expenses, it solved their urgent problem.

And this money is not given for free. Song Qingning has seen Xiaohe's face and knows that he is a good and honest child.

So she planned to find a way out for their family and build up some assets for herself at the same time.

I handed the money to Xiao He, but Xiao He refused to take it. "Miss, how can I let you take this money? You don't have much money on you."

Song Qingning stuffed it into her hand forcefully, "I'm not giving it to you for free, I'm lending it to your family. Wait until next spring, and let your father and brother earn money for me. By then, I guarantee that your family can earn the money back."

After much persuasion, Xiao He finally agreed to accept it and solemnly wrote an IOU.

Song Qingning was even more satisfied with her. "Go to the stable now to get a carriage and have someone take you home. Hurry up and apply medicine to your father's leg. Let him take good care of himself. I will still need him next year!"

Xiao He kowtowed to Song Qingning gratefully, then went home with many thanks.

Song Qingning didn't let anyone else come in to serve him. He stayed in his room thinking about what kind of business the Niu family could do that would not be conspicuous but could still make money.

After much thought, snacks are still the most suitable. Song Qingning thought about asking when the time comes to see how their family’s cooking skills are!
