A lucky little peasant girl is reborn and brings prosperity to her entire family.

Tian Denghua repeatedly declined, saying, "No need, no need. My daughter and I have already made up our minds. We'll find a caravan later and go back with them."

Li Qiyi said, “Caravans don’t run every day. Madam also said earlier that her family is hoping for your quick return… You two don’t need to be so polite. My mother was very regretful just now, saying that if she hadn’t invited Luo Jinyu back to the mansion, you two wouldn’t have suffered this unexpected disaster. So she instructed me to escort you two home as our compensation.”

Li Qiyi bowed and said, "Please agree, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to my mother."

Since they had already put it that way, Tian Denghua had no choice but to nod: "In that case, I'll trouble you, young master."

Li Qiyi was clearly very happy. He quickly said, "Then please wait here in the government office for a moment. I will go back to the government office to call the people."

Li Qiyi was afraid that Tian Denghua would refuse again, so he ran away as fast as he could.

The boy's hair ribbons fluttered in the air.

Li Qiyi was very efficient; in less than half an hour, he returned with a group of servants and a carriage.

The coachman of the carriage that Tian Denghua and her companions had previously rented from the carriage company was killed by bandits. They gave their statements on the matter, and the rest will be handled by the government.

Now that Li Qiyi has brought back a carriage, it saves us the trouble of renting one again.

Song Yanyan really didn't expect it. That day, she only saved Li Qiyi with the idea of ​​taking advantage of Luo Jinyu's opportunity.

The return is so huge!

Before leaving, Li Qiyi thought of Song Pan'er. He asked tactfully, "There's another Miss Song, who seems to be a relative of yours. Should we send her back as well?"

Tian Denghua shook her head repeatedly: "She refuses to go back."

Song Pan'er was determined to go to the capital to find Xie Youchang, and had no desire to return to her hometown.

Moreover, Song Pan'er was the culprit who caused her daughter to be kidnapped, so Tian Denghua couldn't be bothered with Song Pan'er's affairs.

Seeing this, Li Qiyi stopped mentioning Song Pan'er.

Tian Denghua rode her horse as usual, while Song Yanyan sat in the carriage, carrying the two boxes containing clothes and jewelry. Under the personal escort of Li Qiyi and his servants, they embarked on their journey back to their hometown.

By the time they arrived at Zhaoyou Village, it was already the second day.

They stayed overnight at an inn along the way. To express her gratitude, Tian Denghua personally cooked a sumptuous meal, which made Li Qiyi, a young master from a prominent family, eat three bowls of rice!

The next day at dusk, Tian Denghua chose a time when there were few people around and quietly led her horse into the village.

From the very beginning, Old Man Su said that no one else should know about Song Yanyan being abducted.

Although he scoffed at these worldly rules and was too lazy to follow them, he was well aware of the injustices these rules inflicted on women and did not want Song Yanyan to be caught up in them.

Whenever anyone asked, Old Man Su would instruct the Song family to give the same answer: that Song Yanyan had gone to visit relatives.

Therefore, Song Yanyan disappeared in Zhaoyou Village for several days, and apart from the anxious Song family members and the old man and servant Su Qingshan, no one else knew about it.

The Song family closed the door, and the whole family hugged Song Yanyan and cried bitterly.

Song Yanyan was afraid that Qi Lian would get too excited, so she repeatedly advised, "Sister-in-law, please take care of your health!"

Song Yanyan rested at home for two days until the scars on her face scabbed over before going out.

Song Yanyan's friends missed her terribly and asked her how she got that face. Song Yanyan just smiled and said that she was playing around with her relative's daughter at her relative's house and accidentally got it.

No one suspected anything.

After all, in the eyes of her friends, Song Yanyan was beautiful and had a good personality. The scars on her face could only have been caused by playing around. Otherwise, would Song Yanyan really fight with someone?

Hahaha, this is hilarious! Yan Yan has such a good temper, how could she get into a fight with someone!

As the days passed, the plan for Song Xingming to become Su Laotou's apprentice on the second day of the second lunar month was temporarily put on hold due to the abduction of Song Yanyan.

After Song Yanyan was found, Old Man Su quickly chose an auspicious day and had Song Xingming perform the apprenticeship ceremony.

Tian Denghua made two sets of clothes for Old Su, from head to toe, including clothes and shoes. Old Su said it casually, but he was actually very satisfied with the Song family's respect for their teacher. He then took out a fine piece of Huizhou ink and casually tossed it to Song Xingming: "It's an old thing that's been gathering dust. You can take it and play with it."

Moreover, Old Man Su even became somewhat fascinated by this kind of performance, where he would casually pull out some good things for his student, Song Xingming.

Today it's Huizhou ink, tomorrow it's Huzhou brush, the day after tomorrow it's Duan inkstone. Tian Denghua is terrified. Old Su, don't let Song Xingming take all his belongings.

Tian Denghua tried to persuade him with trepidation, but Old Man Su wouldn't listen.

Instead, he became even more enthusiastic, and even pulled out a box from somewhere, had Qingshan carry it to Song Yanyan, and pointed with his chin, saying casually, "Take it, for this little girl's dowry."

When Song Yanyan opened the box, the dazzling brilliance of the jewels inside almost blinded her.

Song Yanyan immediately covered it up; how could she dare accept such a valuable gift from Old Man Su!

Old Man Su was displeased, puffing out his beard and glaring: "If you don't want it, just throw it out! If you don't consider me family, just say so!"

This meant that Tian Denghua and Song Yanyan had to go and coax Old Man Su again.

I have no choice but to accept it.

Tian Denghua solemnly told her family in private that no matter what happens in the future, since Old Man Su has treated them so well, they must take care of him in his old age and see him off when he dies.

None of the Song family members had any objections.

When Tian Denghua returned to the village, she told Song Laosan's family about Song Pan'er's affairs at the Dianzhou government office. Song Laosan and Zhao Laidi went to Dianzhou to pick her up in a fit of rage, but they found no one there. Song Pan'er had already left and they didn't know where she had gone.

Song Laosan and Zhao Laidi could only return empty-handed, cursing and swearing.

As the days passed, Madam Lu, along with her two children, Li Qiyi and Li Qingwei, also visited Zhaoyou Village.

I learned from Madam Lu that Luo Jinyu went to the capital with those two noblemen.

Upon hearing this, Tian Denghua was also somewhat pleased, but couldn't help muttering, "That's a jinx; the further away from us the better."

The Song family's life got better and better. On the basis of the original house, two more rows of houses were added. Song Yanyan had her own room, and even her nephews later had their own rooms.

Song Xingming was also quite good at his studies. At the age of fifteen, he passed the imperial examination and became a student, and from then on, he received a stipend.

Old Su was very satisfied with this and planned to have Song Xingming take the imperial examination for the title of Xiucai again in the autumn.

The Song family's life got better and better. Tian Denghua was full of energy and rented a shop in the county to start a restaurant business.

She was brimming with confidence—this was a wealthy family, and the Li family had all praised the cooking!

Tian Denghua was honest and hardworking in her business. Her portions were large, the food was delicious, and the prices were reasonable. In less than half a year, her small restaurant expanded and became more and more popular. She even hired six people from the village to work in the restaurant. Every month, she earned several dozen taels of silver!
