I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

"Second Aunt, have you eaten yet? The carriage from Zuixianju should be arriving later."

Liu was a cautious person and would get extremely worried when encountering any little thing. Song An Ning thought it was her first time selling something and was a little nervous.

But she shook her head anxiously and handed a purse to Song An Ning.

"Aning, this was given to Xun by Master Su yesterday. He said it was a child's toy, so I didn't take it seriously.

I opened it this morning and was horrified."

Song An Ning opened her purse and saw some cute little silver ingots inside.

There are flower shapes and pastry shapes, which look very pleasing to the eye.

Among them, there are also a few small gold ingots. Xiangxiang just checked them and they are probably worth dozens of taels of silver.

"..."

She understood what Su Chen meant. His appearance yesterday had caused the entire Song family to join in the effort.

He felt a little guilty, but it was not appropriate to give the money directly, so he could only say that it was for the child.

"Axun is likable and has a good personality. Young Master Su gave it to him because he likes Axun.

If it is given, take it."

Liu quickly refused:

"That won't do. We can't accept rewards without doing anything. We haven't done anything and we've received so much money. I feel uneasy."

"Why not? You guys worked so hard yesterday, and I wanted to thank Second Aunt for her hard work. I didn't expect to meet you so early."

No matter how stupid Liu was, she understood that this was Mr. Su's excuse to thank the Song family for their hospitality. If that was the case, then why would she accept it?

"Aning, I wasn't the only one busy yesterday. If you accept this money, we will share it equally.

I'll leave it to you to decide. I'm still cooking, so I'll go back first."

She was afraid that Song An Ning would give her more money, so she ran home in a hurry.

Song An Ning smiled helplessly, poured the little gadgets in her purse into her hands and counted them.

There are more than 30 small silver ingots in total, each worth half a tael of silver, and three small gold ingots, each worth more than 30 taels.

He is indeed a rich man, he is very generous.

Song An Ning raised her eyebrows and first picked out two flower-shaped ones and placed them in Wang Qiuyue's hands.

"Sister Qiuyue, thank you for your hard work during the few days I was away from home. These two are the best looking, keep them."

"Do not……"

"Don't say no! From now on, just keep whatever I give you. It's so tiring to push it back and forth.

And this little silver bean is for Asheng.

Be sure to tell him not to put it in his nostrils or ears, as it will be difficult to remove it."

Children of this age are curious about everything, especially small round beads, and they will put them into their nostrils while playing with them.

"If I don't give it to him, I'll keep it. Hahaha..."

"Haha, I feel sorry for Ah Sheng for a moment."

Now that Wang Qingshan's family was taken care of, Wang Qiuyue felt much better and started to play around with Song Anning.

Looking at her smile, Song Anning felt indescribably happy. He still remembered when he first met Wang Qiuyue, she looked so thin that she could be blown down by a gust of wind. She had no spirit at all and looked like a living dead.

Now, she finally looks like a lively girl.

"Go home, I have something for you."

"What is it? I don't want money. You've already paid me this month's wages."

"No, but you'll like it."

After returning home, they had dinner first. A Sheng took Song Zeyuan and Song Anyue to wipe the table and wash the dishes, while Wang Ying'er returned to her post to continue weaving baskets.

Song An Ning took out a small box from the house and handed it to Wang Qiuyue, motioning her to open it.

Wang Qiuyue recognized the box. Wasn't this the jewelry Aning had bought in town last time? She remembered it clearly: one pearl cost ten taels of silver.

She could give her small silver ingots or something, but she would never accept such valuable things.

Song An Ning had already guessed what she was thinking, so she opened the box directly, took out the pearl flower and put it on her head. Her movements were smooth and seamless.

By the time Wang Qiuyue reacted, the pearl flower was already on her head.

"Aning, this is ten taels of silver! How can I wear this?"

"Why not? Don't forget, you are mine.

It looks good on you, and it also makes me proud."

"Oh, and these two, I bought them in Linhai Town. They're made of small pearls and shells, and the red one is small coral.

Although it’s not worth much, it’s pretty and you can wear it everyday.”

"..."

At this moment, Wang Qiuyue felt that she had embraced a strong thigh. Compared with these, the monthly salary of one and a half taels was so insignificant.

Since she started working for Aning, the things she got and the meals she ate were things she had never had in the past fifteen years.

Song An Ning was so good to her and her brother, she didn't know how to repay him, so she could only try her best to do the housework.

"Aning, thank you, not just because of this..."

Her voice was muffled as she stroked the beads in her hand. What was going on? She felt like crying.

"Stop, I don't know how to comfort people, don't cry.

Normally, whenever Ah Yue started crying, I would ask her to hold it back."

"Puchi! You, you..."

Wang Qiuyue, who was about to cry, was instantly amused. After putting away their things, the two of them sat at the stone table and cleaned the preserved eggs with Song Dashan.

"Aning, didn't you say you'd come early in the morning? It's already this late..."

Song Dashan was a little worried, afraid that something might go wrong.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. It's not even morning yet. People in town get up late, so it'll take some time to get from town to here."

"Yes, it's just that I'm anxious."

Not long after these words were spoken, the sound of horse hooves was heard at the gate of the courtyard, and three carriages stopped in front of the Song family's door.

Afterwards, Manager Zhao got off the front carriage and waved to the few people with a happy smile.

"I was just talking about it, and now it's here."

"Hey, Uncle Song, long time no see.

I heard you injured your waist yesterday. This is an inherited plaster from our ancestors. Apply it for a few days and you’ll be well again.”

Shopkeeper Zhao regained his previous energetic appearance. Seeing Song Dashan was about to go out to greet him, he quickly trotted into the yard and took out another packet of plaster.

After seeing Song An Ning, he patted her shoulder excitedly.

"Aning, I heard everything that happened that day from Manager Dong.

Uncle Zhao, thank you for helping us make arrangements when Zuixianju was in danger."

"Uncle Zhao, you're too polite. How could I not care about our relationship?

Aning believes that if I encounter any difficulties, Uncle Zhao will help me as well, just like he did last time at the government office."

Song An Ning's words warmed the heart of Shopkeeper Zhao. This little girl was very considerate and spoke so nicely.

If possible, he really wanted to adopt Song An Ning as his goddaughter. The two brats at home only knew how to eat and talk back all day long. They were both teenagers, but there was a world of difference between them.

Today, Song Anning wore a light blue long dress and her hair was tied into a beautiful ponytail with a dark blue hairband.

The girl next to her was a little thinner, but she had curved eyebrows and eyes, a light yellow dress, and a pearl flower on her head. She looked very well-behaved.

The more he looked at them, the more he liked them. These little girls didn't do anything, but just standing there made people like them.

Unfortunately, Mr. Zhao is not blessed with a daughter.

After sighing in his heart, Manager Zhao got down to business.

"I've brought quite a few people with me this time. Shall we start picking vegetables and moving the duck eggs?"
