"I'm selling it. Since I promised my benefactor, I will definitely not break my promise."

Jiang looked around the yard. Although she was reluctant, she was the only woman and child left in the family. If Qian came and snatched the child in the name of the grandmother, she could not bear the consequences of losing the child. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, the yard must be sold!

"Can you give me some time, benefactor? I want to pack my things first."

Song Yuntang nodded, "Sister Jiang, do you have a place to go?"

Jiang shook her head and said, "With no one from my mother's family left, I don't know where to go. I might go back to my hometown first. My parents left an old house there, but I'm worried that the child will be bullied by people back home without a father. But at least after going to the old house, Qian and the others won't dare to go there easily."

In today's world, life is not easy for orphans and widows, even if they have money.

Song Yuntang thought for a moment and said, "If it's hard to get along with the people in Sister Jiang's hometown, you can bring your children to Huajianzui in Cile Town to find me."

Since Song Yuntang was able to call on soldiers, Jiang knew that she must have some background.

Moreover, the fact that she stood up to help the mother and daughter today shows that she is also a kind-hearted person. If they can't stay in their hometown, it is indeed a good choice to seek refuge with her.

"Thank you very much, benefactor. My name is Jiang Zhiyan. I'm originally from Xinghua Village, Yulan Town. My parents took me out to do business when I was young. We settled in Anyang County when I was eight. May I know your name?"

"Song Yuntang."

Jiang nodded and said, "Miss Song, please wait a moment. I'll pack my things first, and we can go to the government office to transfer the property deeds later."

"Don't worry, take your time to clean up." Song Yuntang squatted down in front of the little girl, took her hand and asked, "Little girl, what's your name?"

The little girl said crisply, "My name is Sun Tianer."

"Your mother is packing up at home. Can I take Tian'er to buy some candy over there?" Song Yuntang said, pointing to a stall not far away.

Sun Tianer glanced in Jiang's direction and, seeing that she had no objection, nodded and said, "Okay."

Song Yuntang led Sun Tianer out of the door. Xu Qingye naturally didn't want to stay in the yard, so he followed her to the candy stand not far away.

She bought two portions of sugar-roasted chestnuts and one portion of candied fruit, filling three brown paper bags.

Leading Sun Tianer back to the yard, the three of them sat on the stone table next to the osmanthus tree and ate preserved fruits and sugar-roasted chestnuts.

"Tang'er, it's a bit risky for you to call the soldiers here today. There is a procedure for reporting a case to the county government. If those people from the Qian family go to the county government to file a complaint, and Luo Gang and others abuse their power for personal gain, they will probably be punished." Xu Qingye said.

Song Yuntang slowed down his eating.

"The situation was urgent at the time. I was afraid that if I was late, those people would cause trouble again. I didn't have time to think too much." She looked at Xu Qingye and asked uncertainly, "It should be okay, right?"

Xu Qingye shook his head. "No major disaster has occurred, so there shouldn't be any major problems. But once Lord Zhu finds out, I'm afraid he'll still impose a minor punishment."

"That's really my lack of consideration. I'll treat Brother Luo and the others to a few more drinks as an apology."

As Song Yuntang spoke, he continued to peel a chestnut, broke it into two halves, and put one half into Tian'er's mouth.

"Is it delicious?" she asked with a smile.

Tianer smiled and nodded, "It's delicious, thank you auntie."

He rubbed her head, and seeing that Xu Qingye had not touched the food on the table, he peeled one and put it into his mouth.

"Try it, the chestnuts are quite fresh."

Looking at the girl with curved eyes beside him, Xu Qingye was stunned.

These days, she is busy most of the time and rarely has time to sit down and eat snacks.

Now sitting quietly at the table, he seemed particularly peaceful.

He chewed the chestnuts in his mouth and swallowed them.

"Now that the yard is ready, do we still want to stay at the inn tonight?"

Song Yuntang thought for a moment, "If we give up the room over there now, how much will the shopkeeper refund us?"

Xu Qingye shook his head, "I'm afraid I can't retreat much."

Song Yuntang could understand that he couldn't get much back. After all, for a hotel like an inn, you had already checked in, so at least one night's stay would be charged.

"After the deed is completed, let's go get our luggage. Then we can ask the shopkeeper over there. If he gives us a small discount, we can live in our own yard tonight."

"it is good."

Song Yuntang glanced around the yard.

"It's such a big yard with only two of us living in it, it's quite empty."

Xu Qingye looked at her.

"There are more opportunities for business here in the county than in town. Would you consider coming here?"

Song Yuntang nodded and said, "Come, after I have arranged things in town, I will definitely go to the county town. I just haven't decided what business I want to do in the county town yet."

Xu Qingye thought about it.

"You have good medical skills. Perhaps you can open a clinic. The investment is small and the returns are huge."

"Good idea." Song Yuntang suddenly thought of something. "Before, Manager Li of Baicaotang wanted me to practice medicine there. I said I would reply to him after the wedding, but I've been busy and forgot about it. I have to go to Baicaotang when I get back. Since we want to open our own clinic, we definitely can't practice medicine at Baicaotang."

Xu Qingye nodded.

It's good that she can come to the county town, so he can have fewer worries.

After a while, Jiang packed up her things.

Apart from silver, jewelry and clothes, she did not take anything else. She was carrying a child with her and could not carry so many things.

"Miss Song, take a look at the remaining things in the room and just throw away anything you don't want."

Song Yuntang nodded.

"Are you leaving today?"

Jiang took one last look around the yard. "While it's still early, I'll go to the government office to transfer the title deed and then take Tian'er back home."

In order not to waste Jiang's time, Song Yuntang immediately locked the yard. The group went to the government office to transfer the house deeds. After paying two hundred and sixty taels of silver, they called a carriage to send Jiang back to Yulan Town.

Watching the carriage leave, Song Yuntang took Xu Qingye back to the inn.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper here was easy to talk to. After much persuasion, he refunded them thirty cents. After picking up their luggage, they returned to the courtyard they had just bought.

Although this courtyard is located on the edge of Anyang County, the environment is relatively quiet and the streets outside the courtyard are clean.

The two osmanthus trees in the yard are not close to the wall. The branches of the osmanthus trees are full of flower buds, but only a few of them are in bloom.

There are six rooms in the front yard.

There are three side rooms on the right side of the door, one of which is where Jiang and Tian'er, mother and daughter, live.

Opposite the door are also three rooms, with the main hall in the middle and a small door behind it. The small door leads to the kitchen, toilet and stable in the backyard. In addition, there is also a small utility room.

There is also a well in the backyard.

On both sides of the main hall are two larger bedrooms.

One of the rooms was previously occupied by Qian, and the other was occupied by Qian's son-in-law and daughter.

She only lived in a wing room of the house left to her by Jiang's parents. Qian's mother and daughter were really amazing.
