It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

"Grandpa, the clan leader, should actually thank Aunt Lu for this. She was the one who enlightened me. If she hadn't said it would be a shame not to pick those forsythia leaves all over the mountain, I really wouldn't have thought of this!"

The Song clan leader insisted, "That's also your kindness. Most people who have this way of making money would keep it a secret, but you revealed it to the public."

"Even the clan leader is as old as you, but he's not as broad-minded as you!"

He stroked his sparse goatee and said with a cheerful smile, "With such a broad-minded daughter in our Song family, there is no need to worry about the prosperity of our family!"

Song Zhi was slightly embarrassed by the generous praise from an old man and seemed very ashamed.

After hearing what Patriarch Song said, Song An, who was standing aside, straightened his chest and looked proud.

After praising Song Zhi, Patriarch Song suggested that they go back together.

"Grandpa, please go back first. I'll wait here for my elder brother to bring some forsythia tea."

Just now, in order to wait for Song Zhi, he returned later than the village chief of the next village.

I had been thinking of going back quickly to tell everyone the good news.

Hearing her say this, he didn't insist anymore, nodded, and was about to leave.

Song Zhi thought of something and called the person back, "Oh, by the way, Grandpa, the clan leader, has something else I need your help with."

"That's right. The county magistrate has entrusted me with the responsibility of preparing and making tea at the county government office. I need three more helpers here. Please help me find them among the villagers."

"Gender is not a concern. The county magistrate wishes to pay 15 wen a day for wages. If anyone performs well, there will be a reward."

The Song clan leader was stunned at first, but when he reacted, his face lit up with joy. He said cheerfully, "Now that the person is chosen, do you have any requirements?"

Song Zhi thought for a moment and said, "It would be best if someone has a keen eye and is quick at work."

"As for the candidate, I still suggest choosing from the relatively poor families in the village, or the clan leader can find a good candidate!"

Patriarch Song knew everything about the villagers' situations. As soon as Song Zhi finished stating her requirements, he already had a suitable candidate in mind.

He nodded with emotion at first. Ah Zhi was really different from before. Now she was not only thoughtful but also considerate of the villagers.

Thinking about it now, he felt a little regretful. He should have taken better care of Mrs. Hu and not allowed her to spread rumors in the village.

Such a good child must have been abducted by Mrs. Hu in the past, and his temperament has changed.

Fortunately, the child changed back to normal, otherwise it would be a loss for their Songjia Village.

Putting aside his thoughts for the moment, Patriarch Song took the initiative to suggest:

"At Guangyun's house, your grandmother Chen Ke is ill and needs to see a doctor from time to time. I think we should ask Erji to come over. Although he is young, he is hardworking and diligent. It is time for him to earn more money."

"He is the only one in Guangfa's family, and he doesn't participate in the jelly-making work. Although he can go hunting in the mountains, he is old after all, so he should find a stable job.

"As for the last person, let's choose Lu. Although she's a woman, she's very clever and skillful. Her father-in-law fell ill this year, and the family spent a lot of money. If she can come and help, it can also reduce some of the burden on the family."

"What do you think of these people? If there's anything wrong with them, we can always choose someone else."

Song Zhi had no objection to this. "As for the selection, let's do as you say. I have no problem with that."

Seeing Song Zhi's complete trust, the Song clan leader felt relieved.

"Okay, then this is settled. I'll discuss it with him when I get back."

After saying that, he waved to Song Zhi, put his hands behind his back and hurried home excitedly.

After the Song clan leader left, Song Zhi waited in front of the county government office for about a cup of tea, and finally saw her eldest brother walking quickly towards her with a basket.

Song Ping stopped in front of the county government office, panting slightly, and asked, "Have you been waiting for so long?"

Song Zhi shook her head, turned around and said something to the officer guarding the gate.

The officer did not dare to delay and went to report immediately.

Liangtian came out quickly and handed over the forsythia tea in Song Zhi's basket. "Little brother, this is the tea the master wanted. Please weigh it first."

Liangtian took the tea leaves but did not weigh them. He just said he would come back later and then went back to the inner house to put the tea leaves away and brought back a hundred coins.

Liangtian handed the basket to Song Zhi, "Here is the payment for the goods, please count it."

Song Zhiyi didn't count them, but just smiled and said, "No need to count, I still have some trust."

After saying that, he said goodbye to Liangtian and left the county government office with his elder brother.

Song Zhi was not ready to go back. She asked Song Ping, "Brother, I still want to talk to Miss Wang. Do you want to go back first, or..."

Song Ping didn't know what his sister was going to say to Miss Wang, so before she could finish, he said, "I'll go back with you."

Song Zhi nodded, and the three siblings walked towards the Wang residence.

But she did not go to the man's house to ask for a meeting directly. Instead, she found an elderly woman on the road, gave her three cents, and asked her to help deliver a message that they had agreed on.

Afterwards, she could give her another two cents.

This matter is not difficult. It is just a matter of going to the door and inviting the young lady to appreciate the flowers. It will not be a problem for her.

The worst result would be being kicked out, but the key was that she could get five cents. The old woman thought it was worth it, so she agreed without any hesitation.

Song Zhi stood at the entrance of the alley not far away, watching the old woman knock on the corner door, and then said a few words to the old woman who opened the door.

The other party looked behind the old woman curiously, and when he saw nothing, he nodded to indicate that he understood.

After saying that, he closed the door.

The old woman thought she would be scolded, but unexpectedly, not only did she not get scolded, she even got a reply.

The old woman happily ran to where Song Zhi was and told her about the conversation just now. Song Zhi smiled and thanked her and gave her the remaining copper coins.

The old woman got five cents for nothing and left happily.

Song Zhi waited at the entrance of the alley for about half a quarter of an hour. The side door was opened again and a carriage drove out.

Song Zhi didn't need to look anymore, the message should have been conveyed.

She turned to her eldest brother and said, "Brother, let's go too."

Song Ping looked puzzled. "Why did you leave when you haven't even met this person yet?"

As Song Zhi walked, she explained to her elder brother that they had made an appointment at the teahouse.

When they arrived at the teahouse, the owner of the teahouse immediately greeted Song Zhi with a smile, "Miss Song, it's been a while."

Song Zhi also smiled, "The shopkeeper's business is getting better and better."

The shopkeeper grinned. Thanks to the jelly and the grass market across the street, the business of his teahouse was indeed much better than before.

Song Zhi ordered a pot of tea for her elder brother on the first floor and asked him and his younger brother to sit there and rest first. Then she booked an empty private room on the second floor.

Waiting for Ivana Wong's arrival.
