Song Xiangsi felt that she was about to collapse from exhaustion. She sat on the chair, unwilling to move. Looking at the note in her hand, she could not help but feel happy, "This is great, I've finally gotten rid of those two demon kings."

After thinking for a moment, her eyebrows knitted together again. With some hesitation, she turned to look at Meng Ling Xuan. "Where did you get all this silver?" Furthermore, why did you agree to give Grandma Wang a tael each month? You clearly know that she is purposely blackmailing people, and is asking for it so shamelessly. "

There was a reproach in her words. After all, 20 taels of silver was not a small amount in the ancient times. Furthermore, she would have to pay Wang Shi 1 tael of silver every month. She currently did not have any income, so if she could not pay, it would be another troublesome matter.

Meng Fanxuan laughed nonchalantly, then rubbed her head. "It's fine. I'll think of a way to pay you."

These words did not put Song Xiangsi at ease. She still frowned with a solemn expression on her face, "That's not what I meant. I just want to know, where did you get your money from?"

She kept having the feeling that there must be some unspeakable secrets hidden from this man.

The smile on Meng Ling Xuan's face didn't change. He said carelessly, "I went to the town today to earn this."

"Oh?" When Song Xiangsi heard this, her interest was piqued. Putting her doubts from before to the back of her mind, she hurriedly went forward and asked, "What business do you have for you to earn money so quickly?"

Furthermore, it seemed like he no longer had the capital to do business. How did he do it?

Song Xiangsi was even more curious. Her heart felt as if it was being scratched by a cat. She was born with a keen intuition towards business. When she heard that there was a way to earn money, she could not walk any further.

A pair of shiny black eyes were as beautiful as stars, and he couldn't help but slightly curl his lips, slowly saying, "Today, when I went to the town and saw someone putting up a board, I got excited and played a few rounds with him. After earning some money, I set up a board stall. Playing chess with others to earn money. "

Song Xiangsi nodded and thought to herself, "So that's how it is. In her previous life, she had encountered such stalls before. Sometimes, she would even go there because her hands were itchy."

Song Xiangsi had never thought that there would be such a small stall in ancient times. Her hands were itchy. In her previous life, she had always liked to dabble in various subjects, and this Go was one of them.

Just as he was thinking about this, two clear and melodious voices suddenly sounded at the door, "Sister — —"

"Sister, I heard from the people in the village that you talked to Milkman about the matter of the branch family?" Song Xiaoxiao ran in and hugged Song Xiangsi's thigh as she looked at her in confusion.

Song Xiangsi nodded and laughed. The coldness in her eyes faded as a trace of gentleness appeared. "That's right. From now on, we can go alone. You won't be bullied by milk and dad anymore, are you happy?"

Song Cheng nodded sincerely but then shook his head. His little face was creased into a frown as he looked worriedly at Song Xiangsi, "But, Sis, how should we live in the future?"

In his small world, all of their food and clothing depended on the gift of Lady Wang and Song Dabao.

Song Xiangsi shook her head inwardly as she sighed deeply in her heart. The harm the feudal school had done to their children had given them a submissive personality. They felt that they could not live without a family.

She smiled gently and raised her hand to stroke Song Cheng's head, explaining to him, "Don't worry, if you all follow me out, I won't starve you guys."

"Not only that, big sister will also bring all of you along to become rich and live a good life."

Song Chengcheng looked at her with his sparkling eyes. After a while, he nodded his head seriously and said, "Yes, I believe in elder sister."

Meng Ling Xuan also calmly looked at Song Xiangsi. Seeing the resolute look of anticipation on her face, he could not help but curl his lips in a pleased smile.

Song Xiangsi smiled and cooked food for the two children. She thought that in the future, she would definitely teach the two children a good lesson so that they would be free from the Song Family's shadow and would no longer be bumpkins.

She could already see that blissful life was beckoning to her!

When people were happy, they would be especially motivated. After the meal was over, Song Xiangsi quickly packed up her things, wanting to leave as soon as possible.

She didn't want to stay in this place any longer than necessary.

It was usually Lady Wang who was in charge of the money. Mrs Lin and the children basically didn't spend any, so they didn't have much things to do. With the help of her younger brother and sister, they finished packing in the afternoon.

The four of them went straight to the riverbank house that Lady Wang had distributed to them.

After seeing the actual scene, Song Xiangsi felt that she had really overestimated Lady Wang. This room had been in disrepair for a long time, and not only was it leaking from rain, the weather was cold and breezy, and it was covered with dust and spider webs. There were even some unknown creatures nesting inside; there was not even a place to lower their feet.

Song Xiangsi could not help but curse at her mother. She almost lost control of herself, ran back to the Song Family, and dragged Lady Wang out for another beating.

Meng Ling Xuan's expression was also somewhat unsightly. However, he had seen a big scene before. His eyes flashed slightly, then he silently walked in and threw out all the things that he didn't need.

"You clean up here. I'll chop some wood and make a simple renovation of the house."

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to live here.

Song Xiangsi sighed and nodded. That was all she could do for now.

Meng Ling Xuan then took the rusted saw and axe, which had a hole in them, and went into the nearby woods. Song Xiangsi then brought her brother and sister to clean up the dust and spider webs inside the saw.

Meng Ling Xuan was an expert and had a lot of strength. After a while, he was able to carry back a lot of wood and quickly cut those things into planks and nailed them in the dilapidated place.

Only after a busy afternoon like this did the shabby thatched cottage finally manage to accommodate them.

Since there was only one room and a kitchen, Song Xiangsi had no choice but to temporarily place Meng Ling Xuan in their room. At night, they could help each other out.

Meng Fanxuan only raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything.

After a busy day, Song Xiangsi was tired, but she was still very excited. Seeing that there was still some remaining white noodles that she had bought a few days ago, she took them all out and made a simple scallion pancake.

Her scallion pancake had its own secret recipe. It tasted greasy but not greasy. It was crispy and delicious. The two little fellows were having fun eating it, and even Meng Liangxuan couldn't help but eat a few more.

At the same time that Song Xiangsi was happy, she started to plan how she was going to earn more money. She could not just keep going like this, day after day.

She wasn't going to spend her whole life in this shitty house.
