Chapter 298 I only believe in you
Chen Guanghui didn't say anything, just nodded.
After Wang Qiuyue and Song Anning took Wang Sheng to pay homage, Wang Qiuyue took her hand and said with a smile:
"Mom, I've brought my uncle and Aning to see you.
Mother must be very happy to see her family. This is Aning. I have told you many times before that if it weren’t for her, my brother and I wouldn’t be alive today…”
Wang Qiuyue had a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of sadness. She told Song Anning all the grievances she had suffered over the years and all the help she had received from him.
There was only one thing she didn't say, which was that Wang Qingshan and He Fangfang were planning to sell her for a ghost marriage.
Chen Guanghui listened quietly on the side. When he learned that the two children had suffered so much injustice over the years, his heart felt like it was being pinched by a pair of big hands, and he felt extremely heartbroken.
"Mother, Ah Sheng and I are living very well in the Song family. Ah Ning taught us how to read and write, how to do business, and she also told us many things we had never heard before.
Now I am in charge of the duck egg business at home. Aning gave me a 10% dividend, which means I can earn 100 taels of silver a month.
One hundred taels of silver can buy many things.
If mother were still alive, it would be so wonderful. Ah Sheng and I would earn money to honor you..."
I heard that Wang Qiuyue could earn a hundred taels a month, and even nine-year-old A Sheng could earn several hundred wen. An Ning even built a new house for them...
Chen Guanghui finally understood why the two children didn't want to leave. He was almost thirty years old and had been spending the family's money. Apart from the high price of the big yellow flower sold last time, he and his wife had no income.
If they were taken back home, although they would have people to serve them and no worries about food and clothing, they would still have to live in a large mansion, waiting for dozens of taels of silver every month, which was far less enjoyable than earning money on their own.
Wang Qiuyue said a lot, then stood up and said to Chen Guanghui:
"Uncle, you can understand, right?
I am very content with my current life. I have something to do every day and my life is very fulfilling.
This autumn, I plan to send Ah Sheng to academy. When we have free time, we will take a boat to Linhai Town to honor our grandparents on behalf of our mother..."
Chen Guanghui couldn't find any reason to persuade them, as the siblings insisted on doing so. He also noticed that the two children had a good relationship with the Song family.
They will definitely be fine as long as they stay with their master, so they can only agree.
"But I will definitely tell my family about this when I go back today. The Chen family will be here tomorrow, so we'll talk about it then."
Wang Qiuyue smiled gratefully and looked back at her mother's grave.
"If grandpa and the others come, please take mother's coffin back with you. She hasn't been happy in the past ten years in Banyue Village."
"must!"
A few people cleaned up the place again until there was no more sparks, and then they walked down the mountain.
Chen Guanghui led Wang Sheng in front, followed closely by Song Anning and Wang Qiuyue. She took out Wang Qiuyue's indenture from her purse and reminded him:
"Go to the town and get rid of this when you have time. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave Ping'an Town without me."
Wang Qiuyue slapped her forehead, then she remembered the indenture, and took Song Anning's arm and joked:
"I've been so busy lately that I forgot about this.
Now there's no need to leave, I've sold myself to you. I'm not going anywhere, I'll just stay at your house."
"Haha, this is your and Ah Sheng's home, you can stay as long as you want..."
Chen Guanghui heard the conversation between the two and was very puzzled. He couldn't help asking:
"What indenture? Qiuyue, you sold yourself to Aning? I will redeem you right now."
"Ha ha……"
Seeing his nervous look, Song Anning and Wang Qiuyue both laughed out loud.
"Uncle, you don't know, my father..."
On the way, Wang Qiuyue recounted in detail the matter of selling her body indenture and how Wang Qingshan wanted to sell her for a ghost marriage.
"Your unfortunate father must be half dead now, right? I'd like to know where he is. If I find him, throwing him into the sea to feed the fish would be the least of my worries."
"He was beaten with a stick by the government and then driven out of the village. I never saw him again.
Now that there are patrols in the village, he doesn't dare come back."
"It's easier for him."
Chen Guanghui clenched his fists, his eyes filled with hatred. Suddenly, he thought about how he, as the uncle, had accepted the gifts but hadn't expressed anything. He said awkwardly:
"Qiuyue, Ah Sheng, uncle came here in a hurry this time and didn't bring anything.
Please accept these first, as a small gift for meeting you. When we return to Linhai Town, we will make more preparations."
Chen Guanghui pulled off his jade pendant, something he had carried with him for years and loved dearly. Without a second thought, he gave it to them, along with a fine iron plaque with the capital letter "Chen" on it, placed in Wang Qiuyue's hand.
"This plaque belongs only to the five of us siblings. Keep it for now. I'll bring your mother's plaque tomorrow."
If you need clothes or money, you can go to Chenji Cloth Shop or Chenji Money House to get them. They are all our own things."
Wang Qiuyue did not refuse this time. She just pulled Wang Sheng to salute and express her gratitude: "Qiuyue and Asheng thank you very much, uncle."
"Good, good boy..."
Chen Guanghui smiled contentedly and pulled Wang Sheng down the mountain.
But Wang Sheng frowned, counted on his fingers and muttered softly:
"My uncle calls me Sister Aning, Master, and I call her Sister Aning. Does that mean my uncle is of the same generation as us?"
"Hahaha, this relationship is indeed a bit confusing, and it's stumping the child..."
Song An Ning smiled and quickly corrected: "Your uncle is the elder, we can call him by his own name, there is no conflict.
Otherwise, I would have to follow our Ah Sheng and call his disciple uncle..."
"Haha, this isn't just a generation difference, it's two generations..."
The sound of several people laughing and talking cheerfully could be heard on the mountain path. Everyone was a little surprised by what happened today.
"It's just such a coincidence. Somehow, God brought all of us together so that you can recognize each other."
Wang Qiuyue didn't think so. Aning had saved them from danger time and time again. From what her uncle said just now, it seemed that even when the Chen family encountered a crisis, it was Aning who helped.
"I don't believe in fate, I only believe in you.
Without you, my sister and I wouldn't be alive today, nor would we be able to see our loved ones."
Chen Guanghui thought so too. He had heard so much on the mountain and knew that his master had helped so much, not only Wang Qiuyue and Ah Sheng, but also him and the Chen family...
It’s okay, there’s plenty of time in the future, and their whole family will slowly repay the master’s kindness.
After going down the mountain, Chen Guanghui was anxious to go back. Song Anning took a lunch box from the kitchen to him and reminded him:
“Although finding Sister Qiuyue and Ah Sheng is a good thing, Sister Qiuyue’s mother is no longer with us after all.
The two elders miss their daughter, so you should talk about this matter slowly."
"Don't worry, Master. I'll go home and discuss it with my eldest brother first, and then tell my family."
"Okay, be careful on the road..."
The Song family saw Chen Guanghui off at the riverside, and the children began their afternoon literacy class. Wang Qiuyue talked to Song Anning for a while, and then got back to work with the duck eggs, as if the previous incident had never happened.
Song Anning also practiced calligraphy with the children. She had promised them that she would study with them as long as she was at home. Now that she had said that, she had to do it.
When I left the house, Xiao Ming and Xiao Yuanbao were already waiting in the yard. This afternoon they were going to visit the villagers' homes to check on the growth of the peppers.
As the three of them left the hospital, a strange voice suddenly sounded in Song Anning's head.
"Beep beep, chirp chirp..."
"What the hell is that? Xiangxiang? What's that noise? You scared me!!!"
"Hey, the gift pack is here... New stuff..."
