The foreman saw that she didn't look good so he thought that he had said the wrong thing. He apologized: "Don't be angry, I didn't mean to curse you. You are very nice to us. It is just a suggestion for fear of loss."

Song Xiangsi nodded. With a smile, she said, "Thank you very much. I will consider it."

As he said that, he took out all the food he brought from home and stuffed them into the foreman's hand. He smiled and said, "It's nothing much. It's just some simple snacks to satisfy the kids' appetites."

The foreman's eyes were a little hot. After working for so long, this was the first time he met such a conscientious boss. He agreed and took the things and left.

The workers left one after another, and the shop soon quieted down. Song Xiangsi looked at the empty shop and sighed softly. Then, she walked out slowly.

She knew that the rumors about the ghosts were quite outrageous. If she insisted on opening a shop here, there would be great risks and she might even lose everything.

However, this was her painstaking effort. It contained countless plans that she had been able to pull off day and night. She wasn't willing to give up just like that!

Song Xiangsi wandered aimlessly around the streets, and for some reason, he came to where Meng Ling Xuan was playing chess.

There were still quite a lot of people gathered there. Meng Ling Xuan was engrossed in playing chess with someone, so he didn't see her.

Song Xiangsi hid in the crowd and pursed her lips. She did not make a sound.

She stood there quietly, waiting for the match to end. Then, someone else came forward to play chess with Meng Ling Xuan. Two or three people went up, but none of them were able to beat him.

Meng Ling Xuan, on the other hand, was as calm as ever. He calmly looked at the person in front of him without a hint of arrogance on his face.

As the sun set, the crowd gradually dispersed. Only then did Meng Ling Xuan see Song Xiangsi, who was hidden behind the crowd. His handsome eyebrows raised, and a slight smile immediately appeared on his originally expressionless face.

"How long have you been here?" he asked gently, arranging the board in his hand, preparing to pack up.

Song Xiangsi reluctantly pulled at the corner of her lips and stepped forward to help as well. "It wasn't long ago. Since there's nothing else in the store, I came over earlier."

"Aren't we resting at home today? Why are you here in the county again? " He suddenly remembered and casually asked.

Song Xiangsi paused for a moment as she packed her things. She lowered her gaze and hid all her emotions deep within her eyes. She pursed her lips and replied carelessly, "Yes, it seems like it's coming."

He knew that she wasn't in a good mood, but he didn't ask her any questions. He thought that if she wanted to say something, she would naturally tell him that she couldn't force him, so he just nodded his head and pretended not to know anything.

When they went back to town to pick up her younger brother and sister, Song Xiangsi could not hold it in and told him about the incident with the ghost. However, she did not mention that the villagers wanted to expel her from the village.

In the end, she let out a long sigh, feeling a little helpless, "I don't think this shop can continue to operate." In the end, she sighed a long sigh, truly a little helpless, "I don't think this shop can continue to operate,

"This is your first store. Not only did you put in the money, you put in a lot of effort and effort. If you give up so easily, wouldn't it be a pity?"

Song Xiangsi shook her head. She was in low spirits, "What can I do? I don't want to give up. I designed this all by myself. I'm just like my own child, slowly watching it take shape … "But what can you do if you don't give up? If you can't find a worker to decorate, you still can't open it."

Meng Ling Xuan frowned. With a dark glint in his eyes, he said, "How about this. I'll go to the county and ask if there are any other decorations teams willing to take over the work."

Song Xiangsi pursed her lips but did not say a word.

"Don't worry. As long as I'm here, I'll definitely take good care of your sweat and blood." Meng Fangxuan stared fixedly at her. His pair of black eyes flickered with starlight, making Song Xiangsi absent-minded for a moment. She felt as if she had really seen hope in those eyes.

What was she doing? Self-pity?

In the past, no matter how big the storm, she would never easily give up on it. It was the same this time, no matter what obstacles she faced, she would definitely open the shop and bring her younger brothers and sisters into wealth!

Thinking like this, Song Xiangsi's fighting spirit ignited once again. She nodded as her face revealed an unswerving determination, "Alright, I believe you. We'll just have to take things one step at a time. There are more ways than difficulties. We'll definitely be able to get through this."

Seeing that Song Xiangsi, who was radiating vitality, had finally come back to life, Meng Liangxuan secretly let out a sigh of relief. With a smile on his face, he led his men back.

Under the setting sun, the shadows of the two were long and overlapping, like two lovers snuggling together, warming and supporting each other.

During the night, Song Xiangsi and his three siblings were fast asleep. Only then did Meng Ling Xuan get up from his bed, sit up, and then, under the cover of the night, he silently left his room.

He stopped twenty meters away from his home. At the same time, a person jumped down from the tree and landed in front of him. He knelt on one knee and respectfully called out, "Master!"

Meng Ling Xuan nodded. "What happened in the village today?"

Ender had originally been his personal attendant. However, when he came to Song Xiangsi's house, he was worried, so he arranged for Ender to stay outside the Song Family to secretly protect Song Xiangsi and his two children.

Ender did not hesitate and told them about the villagers gathering today to cause trouble. He also told them about how he wanted to chase Song Xiangsi out of the village, including how Song Xiangsi would take revenge on him in the end.

Saying this, he looked up at his master's expression with some hesitation and let out a deep breath before saying, "I originally wanted to save him, but seeing that Song Xiangsi had the upper hand and was afraid of exposing her identity too soon, I did not do so."

"You did the right thing. As long as her life isn't in danger, don't expose her if you have no other choice."

Ender let out a sigh of relief, thought for a moment, and then said, "Mistress, I think today's matter isn't as simple as it seems."

Meng Ling Xuan gave him a slow and unhurried glance. He slowly rubbed his chin with his slender fingers, then said, "Tell me, how is this not simple?"

Ender took a deep breath and then said, "Logically speaking, the matter of the shop decorating the ghost won't be spread so fiercely. Moreover, it didn't spread in the county at the first time." "It's actually getting out of hand in the village. There must be someone behind this."
