You know, it is not easy to do subtraction, especially when faced with the temptation of profits that are within reach. However, Su Yu and Deng Xian have extraordinary vision and mind. Even if the business of their own shop is up and down, it will not have much impact on their daily life.

Speaking of other people's affairs, Deng Xian suddenly remembered something and turned to Su Shian and said, "An'an, the group of children in that dilapidated temple have been doing quite well recently. Should we help them so that they have enough money to move to another place to live?"

Su Shirong followed up on his mother's words and expressed his agreement: "Okay, I'll go talk to them tomorrow and ask them about their plans." In his spare time on weekdays, he would often teach these children to read and write, and Wu'er was the most diligent and attentive among them, so he and Wu'er had the best relationship.

Su Shikuan came over curiously and asked, "Third brother, you seem to like them very much?"

"Don't you like it, second brother?" Su Shining asked with a blink.

"Of course I like her, but Hongdou is really fierce. How dare she be so rude to Uncle Zhao? Aren't you afraid of her, Third Brother?" Su Shikuan excitedly talked about the gossip he knew, "Not only that, she has been pestering Uncle Zhao these days, insisting that Uncle Zhao teach her martial arts skills."

Hearing this, Su Shining was surprised: "Ah? Sister Hongdou is so amazing?" You know, Su Shining will celebrate her birthday on June 16th, and will soon be fourteen years old. Seeing that Hongdou is older than her, but has a completely different personality from hers - bold and fearless, although she is somewhat envious, she knows that she has such a personality and there is no way she can imitate her.

The next day, when Su Yu finished his teaching task, someone suddenly came to him and conveyed a message: "Mr. Chen invites you to meet at his mansion." When asked why, the visitor simply replied that there were distinguished guests visiting the mansion, and Mr. Chen hoped that Su Xiucai could go with him to accompany and entertain them.

Su Yu was very confused. He couldn't understand why the distinguished guest in County Magistrate Chen's house needed him to accompany him. However, despite his doubts, he had no choice but to follow the visitor to Chen's house. Before leaving, he made a small request, hoping that the visitor could take a detour to his shop so that he could tell his family and avoid them worrying.

At this moment, coincidentally, Su Shian was also in the shop. When she heard the news, her bright eyes instantly shone brightly, and she held Su Shirong's arm tightly with both hands, and squeezed towards the carriage of County Magistrate Chen with all her strength.

Faced with this situation, Su Shirong couldn't help but look embarrassed and a little ashamed. However, when he heard his sister claim that this trip to the mansion of County Magistrate Chen was an excellent opportunity to broaden his horizons, he pretended to be shameless and squeezed into the carriage with his sister.

"Alas~" Su Yu, who was standing aside, saw his daughter being so lively and his son following closely, and shook his head helplessly, and sighed softly. Perhaps this sigh was more to convey a message to the servants of the Chen family - he was really powerless to control the children's behavior.

On the other side, Su Shikuan stood at the door of the shop, covering his mouth with his hands and chuckling softly: "Hehehehe~"

Seeing this, Su Shining hurriedly pulled him towards the shop and said in a low voice, "Don't laugh here. What if others hear you?"

"Yeah, I see."

"My little sister is so naughty, and my third brother is willing to go with her." Su Shining frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction and worry in her tone. She thought, this little sister has always been quirky, and she didn't know what kind of trouble she would get into this time, and my third brother was so happy to go with her, which really made her worry!

Su Shikuan, who was standing by, heard what his sister said, but smiled disapprovingly and said, "He must want to go in his heart, otherwise how could he be so calm?" Su Shining rolled his eyes at his brother, thinking that this kid really understood his third brother's thoughts.

Since Su Shian and the others were not free, Su Shining thought she could take this opportunity to go out for a walk. So she suggested: "Let's go find Sister Hongdou and the others!" "Great, great!" Su Shikuan clapped his hands excitedly and quickly followed his sister's pace.

Soon, they arrived at the street. After asking a few people along the way, they finally found Hongdou and others who were promoting Su's tofu on the street. Seeing Su Shining and his brother, Hongdou and the others were very happy and gathered around to ask about their well-being.

After some greetings, everyone decided to go to Deng Qiyue's yard. When they stepped into the yard, they were surprised to find that it had undergone earth-shaking changes. It turned out that Zhao had carefully replanned the entire yard, leaving only a small area in the middle as a martial arts training ground. The rest of the area was cultivated into neat vegetable plots.

According to Hongdou, during this period of time, after they finished their work in the shop, they would take one or two hours to go to Deng's house to help open up wasteland and plant vegetables. Zhao Yi paid each person according to the length of time they worked, and each hour was a full twenty coins! Such a remuneration was considered quite generous in the entire Xuyang County.

Take the servants in the mansion of County Magistrate Chen for example. They only received a salary of one or two taels of silver per month, but they had to wait for their master's orders at all times. As for the runners in the county government, although their monthly salary was only one or two hundred coins more than that of the servants, they either stayed in the government office or went out to run errands. Sometimes they had to work for five or six hours, and at the shortest, they had to work for four hours before they could go home.

Because of this, they had saved up some money recently and started to think about renting a house to live in. After all, it was not a long-term solution for the whole family to live in that dilapidated temple, and their life had become a little comfortable recently, which made them feel a little uneasy.

There have been several times when other beggars nearby have set their sights on them, either trying to collect so-called "protection fees" or simply robbing them openly by relying on their numbers. Fortunately, during this period they have learned a few martial arts moves from Zhao, which can be used at critical moments, and they have not suffered any losses so far.
