Chapter 303 Free Labor
“I guessed that the Chen family would prepare a special thank-you gift for you.
It’s better for grandpa and grandma to take over personally.
As for me accepting it, I saved a life and helped out.
The Chen family has been in the business world for many years, and they don't want to owe such a big favor to someone if they can solve the problem with money or gifts.
Song Dashan took the gift list from Song Anning and looked at it carefully. The items were very complete. The high-quality fabrics alone were enough for an ordinary family to use for one or two years.
Seeing this, he thought about it seriously and felt that his granddaughter was right. The Chen family was not short of money. In their opinion, favors were harder to repay than these things.
In that case, why not accept this favor?
"That being said, there's nothing wrong with it. But when did you do these things, Aning? You encountered robbers at sea, and it was the mayor of Linhai Town. Just by listening to us, we knew this was a big deal."
Song An Ning knew that her grandpa and grandma would ask this question, so she took out the explanation she had prepared early in the morning.
“I just happened to catch up with them and brought them back from the sea.
As for Zuixianju helping the Chen family, it wasn't because of me. They just wanted to do business with the Chen family and use my name."
Song Dashan understood, walked around the yard, and came up to Song Anning and whispered:
"We don't have much foundation, nor do we have that much ability, so we should stay out of their business from now on."
Song Anning knew that her grandfather was thinking about her and that what he said made sense, so she obediently agreed.
At this moment, Xiao Yuanyuan rushed into the yard like a little firecracker, shouting:
"Sister Aning, those people have come out of the house and are preparing to go up the mountain. Mother asked me to tell you..."
It was inconvenient for them to stay in the house when someone came to recognize their relatives, but if they wanted to go up the mountain, they still had to have someone accompany them. The three of them discussed it and finally decided that the two elders would take them there.
When Qiuyue's mother died, the Wang family felt that it was unlucky and planned to find a random place to bury her. It was Song Dashan and Song Erhe who helped choose the place and asked someone to look at the feng shui. At least they should introduce it to the Chen family.
"When Qiuyue's mother died, it was your grandma who helped her put on her clothes. It's a good opportunity to explain the situation to the Chen family, so they will feel more at ease.
Aning, you should stay at home. You went to the mountains yesterday and again today. It's not good."
Song Anning knew that there was a saying here that young children should avoid visiting graves as it would be bad for their health. So she agreed and went home with Aunt Yuanying and Second Aunt to prepare lunch.
Unexpectedly, the two elders’ ideas coincided with those of the Chen family. As the three of them were walking back from the new house, they ran into the Chen family.
When the Chen family learned that the two elders wanted to go up the mountain with them to tell them in detail what happened that year, they were very moved. They thought they had met good people and understood that they wanted to know more about their daughter's life and death.
After they left, No. 1 was watching over the new house, so Song An Ning went back to prepare the ingredients.
Knowing that there were guests at home, the second grandmother also brought her daughter-in-law to help, but after more than half an hour, the Chen family went down the mountain and wanted to go back.
"Now that we've seen Xin'er and the kids, we won't bother you anymore."
After coming down from the mountain, the two elders of the Chen family were not in a good mood, but they still said goodbye to the Song family very politely.
Since they insisted on doing so, the Song family could not stay any longer. They stood on the shore to say goodbye. The old lady of the Chen family shook Zhang's hand and thanked her repeatedly:
"Thank you so much for telling me so much about Xin'er. Thank you for your family's kindness in choosing a good place for her burial."
"What should be done..."
After expressing their gratitude, the two elders of the Chen family turned their attention to Wang Qiuyue and her brother.
"These two children have decided not to follow us, so I'll have to trouble you to take extra care of them."
"Don't worry, Madam. I will treat them as my own grandchildren."
"..."
The old men talked for a while by the river, gave Wang Qiuyue some instructions, and then the Chen family left by boat.
"Aning, we have so much food prepared at home, what should we do?"
Qin Yuanying was in a dilemma. They had just prepared meals for dozens of people in the kitchen. Now the weather was hot and the ingredients could not be stored. What should they do?
"Do as usual and have Second Grandpa's family come over to eat together. Just celebrate that Sister Qiuyue and Ah Sheng have a family. This is a great thing."
"Yes, let's go home and celebrate with Qiuyue and Asheng!"
After returning, there were many people in the kitchen, and Song Anning and Wang Qiuyue could not help much, so they just talked about what had just happened.
After just a few words, Wang Qiuyue suddenly stood up, took her hand and walked outside.
"Aning, I almost forgot something important. Come with me quickly."
"What's the matter?"
Song Anning was a little confused. Wang Qiuyue's face was full of excitement. She thought that Sister Qiuyue was happy because she had seen her relatives and gained a lot of things.
When she arrived at Wang Qiuyue's courtyard, she realized that she was wrong. Sister Qiuyue's happiness was very unique.
She pointed at the three older women in the courtyard and whispered, "My grandmother brought me two maids and two servants.
I didn't want the maids. Seeing their reluctant looks, I knew they didn't want to stay in the village, so I let them go back with me.
The old man was worried, so he gave me another maid. Look at these three, they are obviously good at work. They can help me pickle duck eggs in the future. Hahaha..."
"..."
Looking at her excited face, Song An Ning couldn't help laughing. The contents of each box at her feet were priceless, but she didn't care at all, because she was jumping for joy because she had three laborers.
"You still have to pay them their monthly wages. The Chen family's servants have quite a bit of money."
"Hehehe, we don't need silver. We are all servants who have signed death indentures. Grandmother has already given us the reward silver, and the indentures are already with me!
I'll give you some more appreciation at the end of the month."
She took out a few pieces of paper from her arms and waved them in front of Song An Ning. The two girls looked at each other and smiled brightly.
"Hahaha, Master, did you notice? Sister Qiuyue is so cute. She got three free laborers and can't care about anything else."
"Yes, Sister Qiuyue is simple-minded. I gave her the duck eggs, and she only had the duck eggs in her mind.
Now she is getting better and better, a sunny girl, and has family. She will have a good life in the future."
"Yes, Master, the days ahead will be good!"
There was still some time before lunch, so Wang Qiuyue asked the three women to stay in the side room to rest for the day, and then she and Song An Ning started to unpack the boxes.
"Open mine first, and then I'll open the ones for you this afternoon. I've never seen anything good before, and I'm so curious. Don't laugh at me."
"Then let's open it together and see what's inside. Your grandparents are very wealthy."
Although Song An Ning said this, she didn't do anything. Opening the box was just like unpacking a package in her past life. Only by doing it herself could she experience the fun.
But as soon as Wang Qiuyue opened the first box, she was shocked by what was inside.
"Aning, look, what is this!"
