How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

So, Lady Hua's cruelty not only put an end to her family's thoughts, but also deterred those beasts who wanted to bully others. A woman who is so cruel to herself, you have to think carefully about what you want to do.

Xia Chu thought she was a smart person, but this move was too cruel to herself after all.

I just visited Hua Niangzi's house. At least the yard is neat and tidy. She and her two children, though thin, are all clean and tidy. If possible, Xia Chu would like to invite her to work as a gardener at Yin Ge Garden.

But we should wait for them to deliver the flowers. After all, Yin Ge Garden is not close to the north of the city. Lady Hua leaves early and comes back late, so it's probably not appropriate to leave the two children at home. Bringing them to the garden is not a problem.

She needed to think about it again, there were still several days left.

In addition to flowers and plants, Yin Ge Garden also bought all the storybooks on the market and placed them on the second floor of the storytelling building. Guests can borrow them for free, and if they want to take them away, they can pay to buy them.

That day, Xia Chu summoned everyone to the storytelling hall. Dong Zhi sat on the first-floor storytelling stage, rubbing his fingers nervously. He went over and over what he was going to say in his head, and the eyes of the audience were filled with anticipation and encouragement.

Yesterday, when only facing Xia Chu, Dong Zhi performed very well. She spoke clearly, had rich expressions, and was bold.

But now, facing everyone, she was so nervous that her face turned red. She opened and closed her mouth, but no sound came out.

"Pa pa pa", Xia Chu clapped his hands, and others followed suit, "Dongzhi, you can do it."

"Winter Solstice, you can do it!"

"Winter Solstice, I believe in you!"

Dongzhi fixed her eyes, and the story she had memorized before flooded into her mind again, but her heart was beating so fast that it seemed to rush out of her mouth. She stumbled over the first few sentences, but no one laughed at her.

It shouldn't be this bad! I've betrayed the young lady's trust! Dongzhi paused, took a deep breath, and his words gradually became smoother.

The audience listened intently, and Dongzhi gradually got into the groove. Her expression was no longer rigid, but shifted with the plot, and she could even change her voice.

Xiachu looked around and found that everyone was immersed in it. Dongzhi's condition was getting better and better, and she began to enjoy it.

"Miss, the flower delivery man is here." Fifteen, who was guarding the door, came over and said.

"I'll go take a look." Xia Chu glanced at Dong Zhi and quietly walked out. Two 'flower cars' were parked outside the gate. Grandma Chang came with her son Wang Fugui and Mrs. Hua.

"Ms. Wang, the flowers have been delivered." Grandma Chang came forward. "This is part of it. We'll need three more trips to get the rest."

"Okay." Xia Chu had the threshold removed. Wang Fugui asked where to put it and started moving the flowers downstairs. Hua Niangzi was not idle either and followed along to move them.

Xia Chu saw that Lady Hua was still the same as last time, with a cotton coat on her face and her body still clean. She did not slack off in her work and did not rest for a moment until she had moved all the flowers.

"Then we'll go back and transport it." Grandma Chang said with a smile.

"Okay." Yin Ge Garden did have a carriage, but the carriage was for people, and it was inconvenient to load and unload flowers.

Grandma Chang led the family's old horse, Wang Fugui helped Hua Niang pull the cart, and Hua Niang helped push it from behind. None of the three felt tired, but instead their hearts were filled with joy.

"Once I get the money, I must buy a piece of meat to thank Aunt Chang." The flower lady looked at the mother and son with gratitude. If it weren't for them, she wouldn't have been able to sell all the flowers. This money would be enough for her family to live on for a long time. The old tree at home could be cut and grafted, and when it's well, they could start selling flowers again. She suddenly felt full of hope for life. As long as she could get through this period and wait for her brother-in-law to grow up, everything would be fine.

After Xia Chu ordered the flowers and plants, she gave them the balance. When they were about to leave, Xia Chu called out to Hua Niangzi, "Hua Niangzi, would you like to come here and be a gardener?"

Mrs. Hua was stunned for a moment, "Gardener?"

"Yes, you're responsible for all the flowers in this garden." Xia Chu thought for a moment, "I'll give you one or two taels of silver a month, and you'll eat lunch and dinner here. If you do well in the future, I can give you more."

Grandma Chang reacted and pushed the stunned Hua Niangzi. "Great news! One tael of silver! Hurry up and agree!"

"One ounce of silver?" The flower lady couldn't earn more than one ounce of silver from selling flowers in a month, not to mention that she didn't have to spend money on food. She blinked and tugged at her skirt. "Can I, can I?"

Xia Chu nodded and said, "I'm just taking care of the flowers and plants. I'm doing business for the ladies here. The garden only employs women. If you're willing, you can come and work early tomorrow morning."

"I, I, I do!" Madam Hua agreed hurriedly, fearing that if she spoke too slowly, the other party would regret it.

"Okay." Xia Chu thought for a moment, "Your Zhuangzhuang is still young. If you're worried about leaving him at home, you can bring him here. But it's best not to wander around. I'll arrange a tool room for you here, and you can let the child stay there."

This was a huge surprise. She could actually bring her child with her while working. Lady Hua was so happy that she didn't know what to do. She tugged at the hem of her skirt and knelt down. "Thank you, Miss. I will definitely work hard!"

"Get up." Xia Chu pulled her up, "But let me be frank. Although you are allowed to take care of the children, if you fail to take good care of the flowers and plants because of taking care of the children, I will punish you."

"No, no! I will definitely do my best!" Mrs. Hua thought of the silver and gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay not to take care of the child!"

"When the time comes, you can let Xiaozhong and Zhuangzhuang stay at our house. Fugui's wife is at home taking care of the children anyway, and she can help you look after them." Grandma Chang gave her advice.

"Thank you, Aunt Chang!" Madam Hua bit her lip, but couldn't hold back her tears. However, her eyes were curved with tears of joy.

"Okay, then you can come tomorrow." If Yin Ge Garden opens at Chen Shi Mo, others will need to prepare early, but the gardener is different. As long as the flowers and plants are fine, there's no need to come so early. Xia Chu said, "Come at Chen Shi Mo, no need to come too early."

"Okay, I'll remember that." Madam Hua suppressed her joy and thanked Xia Chu again and again before leaving.

February 10th is an auspicious day with no taboos.

Xia Chu hired a lion dance troupe and set off firecrackers at the entrance. He peeled back the red cloth covering the signboard, and Yin Ge Yuan officially opened for business.

Not many people knew about it on the first day, but Xia Chu sent invitations to all the ladies she knew. Bai Wuxia and the others invited everyone they could, so even on the first day, the entrance to Yin Ge Garden was still bustling with people.

Jia Qingwu, Dong Xiaohuan and others also came to show their support. Jia Qingwu also got to know some ladies during this period and sent out invitations.

Xia Chu brought two stewards to greet the guests at the door, all of them with smiles on their faces.
