376 Helping Others

“Alright,” Shen Yijia replied. She glanced at Song Zhaozhao, who was waiting not far away. She took out a pouch and threw it to him. “I might not be able to come to the wedding banquet when you get married. I’ll give you some money in advance.”

Who asked this person to be so thick-skinned and call her grandaunt? As an elder, she couldn’t possibly not express her grat.i.tude, right?

Shen Dali was so touched that he was about to cry.

However, her heart ached. Without giving Shen Dali a chance to speak, she waved her whip and drove the carriage towards the end of the village.

She had given Shen Dali two pouches in the past two days. The pouches she gave him contained more than 20 taels of silver.

Madam Li brought the children to pack their luggage. There was nothing valuable at home, mainly because everyone’s clothes had to be brought along. These were all newly made in the past two years.

Shen Yijia brought Furball up the mountain again.

She had dug up all the wild ginseng in the mountains. It took her a long time to find a ten-year-old ginseng. She also hunted a wild boar.

The wild ginseng and wild boar were given to Shopkeeper w.a.n.g. Shen Yijia always remembered that it was Shopkeeper w.a.n.g who let her earn her first bit of gold in the beginning. Later on, he also took care of her.

Although she already knew that Shopkeeper w.a.n.g was Song Jingchen’s subordinate, Shopkeeper w.a.n.g didn’t know about her relations.h.i.+p with Song Jingchen when he helped her.

Therefore, putting Song Jingchen aside, she naturally had to return this favor.

Shopkeeper w.a.n.g looked at the person who thanked him and left. He had mixed feelings. This girl.

Back then, he only accepted the deal because he needed those wild animals. As for giving her a few more copper coins, he wanted her to hunt more prey to sell.

Why did this girl think that he was taking care of her?

“Young Madam is a good person,” Shopkeeper Du said with a smile. It was rare to see such a pure-hearted person.

The children at home had stopped going to school after that incident.

Lin Shao and Miaomiao were fine. The two of them had average att.i.tudes towards school.

On the other hand, Brother Hao and Sister Huan had gone wild. They were so happy that they didn’t have to go to school.

Brother Hao was a boy. So what if he was a little wild?

Madam Li’s biggest headache was Sister Huan. She fought with the children in the village.

It was fine if she caused the families of the other children to come looking for her, but she had also fought in the academy for the past half a year. Madam Li had been called to the academy countless times because of this.

She was the only one who caused more trouble than the others combined. Fortunately, she stopped after being punished a few times.

What Madam Li did not know was that Sister Huan had already become the little tyrant in the cla.s.s. No one dared to complain about her.

Besides, she didn’t fight for no reason. She only fought because a few troublemakers in her cla.s.s saw that they were new and wanted to bully Miaomiao.

Unexpectedly, those people were so useless. Not only did they cry after losing, but they also complained to their parents.

When Shen Yijia returned from town, the house was quiet. When she entered the backyard, she saw Sister Huan squatting alone in the vegetable field in a corner of the courtyard. There were no more vegetables growing on it.

“Sister Huan,” she called out.

“Sister-in-law, you’re back.” Sister Huan turned around in surprise. When she saw the person behind Shen Yijia, she frowned. “Why are you here?”

“I heard that you were going to the capital, so I came to say goodbye to you.” The person who spoke was a little boy dressed in silk. He had delicate features and a red face.

Sister Huan rolled her eyes. She was the one who was leaving. Shouldn’t she be the one saying goodbye?

But who was going to say goodbye to him?

She snapped, “Do I know you well? And how did you find my house?”

This person was none other than their cla.s.s’s troublesome ringleader, Liu Jinbao.

However, after Sister Huan entered school, he became a thing of the past.

Liu Jinbao was the precious grandson of the wealthy Old Master Liu in town.

Old Master Liu had many concubines, but he only had one son.

It was the same for the grandchildren. Liu Jinbao’s father was different from Old Master Liu. He and his wife were childhood sweethearts, and he only had one legitimate wife.

Since his son was unwilling to add more men to the family, Old Master Liu could only work hard on his own. He carried his concubines to the harem one by one because he wanted to break the curse of the Liu family.

However, no matter how hard he tried, it was useless. In addition, he was old and powerless. He could only dote on his grandson, Liu Jinbao. In the end, Liu Jinbao became the devil incarnate.

If Sister Huan and Shen Yijia paid more attention to the people in the old residence, they would know that Song Jiayue was Old Master Liu’s fifth concubine.

Back then, Widow w.a.n.g had specially gossiped about them.

In other words, Liu Jinbao had to call Song Jiayue Grandmother-in-law, while Sister Huan called Song Jiayue Cousin.

In that case, Liu Jinbao had to call her Sister Huan. In short, there was a gap in seniority.

Liu Jinbao’s face turned red at Sister Huan’s words.

Shen Yijia coughed dryly and explained, “I met him at the village entrance. He asked me for directions. When I heard that he was your cla.s.smate, I brought him back.”

She would never admit that she stopped the carriage and asked him where he was going because he was too good-looking.

A child standing at the village entrance looking hesitant and helpless. He looked like he needed help.

As a generous fairy, Shen Yijia had extended a helping hand.

Sister Huan looked at Shen Yijia sadly.

Shen Yijia felt a little guilty under her gaze. She rubbed her nose and said, “You guys chat. I’ll go and see if Mother and the others are back.”

After that, she blinked at Sister Huan and whispered, “Your cla.s.smate came to see you. Don’t scare him like that.”

Sister Huan subconsciously wanted to say, “Sister-in-law, don’t be fooled by his appearance. He was even fiercer in the past, he’s just afraid of me.”

However, she swallowed her words and almost exposed herself for fighting.

On second thought, Liu Jinbao had never bullied anyone again, so Sister Huan nodded obediently.

Shen Yijia left immediately. She called Mo Yuan over to watch the two of them from afar. She hoped that nothing would happen.

“Wait here.” With that, Sister Huan squatted back down.

Liu Jinbao asked, “What are you doing?”

Sister Huan’s back was facing him, so he could not see her clearly.

Sister Huan’s eyes darted around and she turned around. “Come here. I want to show you something good.”

Liu Jinbao leaned over suspiciously.

Sister Huan patted the dirt off her hands and handed him a jar.

Liu Jinbao glanced at the pitted ground in front of Sister Huan and carefully took the jar.

He glanced inside. Just one look…

“Ah!” Liu Jinbao screamed in fear and threw the jar away. His face turned pale.

Sister Huan quickly caught the jar and barely let it fall to the ground. “Coward.”

“You… Song Jinghuan, are you still a woman?” Liu Jinbao roared angrily.

At the thought of the densely packed squirming earthworms in the jar, he still felt his scalp tingle.

“No.” Sister Huan smiled and said, “My sister-in-law said that I’m still young. I’ll only be a woman when I grow up.”

“Be careful, there’s a chance you can’t get married when you grow up.”

“I’m not marrying you anyway.” Sister Huan snorted and left with the jar.

If not for the fact that they were cla.s.smates, she would have ignored him.

“You make it sound like someone wants to marry you,” Liu Jinbao muttered. After some thought, he followed her.
