Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

Then Shen Zhao went to find Song Qiaoer and asked her if she was willing to be employed by the Shen family for a monthly salary of eight hundred coins.

Song Qiao was pleasantly surprised when she heard this and immediately agreed: "Yes! I do!"

Eight hundred coins a month! That’s more than what my elder brother earns.

Since I have to work at home anyway, I might as well go to Sister Shen's house to be a maid, where I can have food, drink and earn money.

Shen Zhao looked at Song Qiao's small figure.

The teenage girl was still very thin and weak, and probably couldn't do any heavy work. She could only wash rice, vegetables and clean the yard.

"From now on, you will live in my house. If your brothers and sisters are willing, they can stay in the inn."

Shen Zhao said, "There are a few sheep at the inn. Your brother and sister can help us take care of the sheep. I can give them 200 coins each per month."

Song Qiao has an eight-year-old brother and a six-year-old sister. Ever since Song Yuan followed A Zhu and the others to do business, Song Qiao has been taking care of the two children.

Now that Song Qiao is working at home, there will be no one to take care of the two children, right?

In order to let Song Qiao concentrate on her work, she might as well send them to the inn to stay with Mr. Dong and the others.

Anyway, the inn has food, drinks and a place to stay, so all I need is a little help from the two kids.

"They will definitely do that!"

Song Qiao was overjoyed and immediately agreed on behalf of her younger brother and sister: "I'll go call them over now!"

My eldest brother Song Yuan also lives in the inn and only comes back once every few days. If my younger brothers and sisters also live there, at least they won’t have to worry about food and they will get money every month.

Shen Zhao: "Okay then, go and pack up, I'll take them there later."

It just so happened that I was going to the inn to take a look at the growth of the vegetable fields and fruit tree seedlings there.

In the early spring, she planted a lot of vegetables in the farmland outside the inn, as well as many fruit trees, such as jujube trees, persimmon trees, and grapes, and also planted many windbreak trees on the periphery.

Several hawthorn trees were also planted, all of which were the species recommended by Xiaoqing. If nothing unexpected happens, they will bear fruit in the second year.

"Okay! Sister Zhao, please wait a moment. I'll go clean up now."

Song Qiao ran back to her shabby thatched hut happily, tied up the bedding and mats with ropes, and began to pack up pottery jars, bowls and other items.

Seeing this, Shen Zhao hurriedly said, "Just bring your bedding and clothes, you don't need to bring anything else, the inn has everything."

Song Qiao had no choice but to nod and go outside to look for her younger brothers and sisters.

Afterwards, Shen Zhao took the two children to the inn and brought them to Mr. Dong.

Mr. Dong had gained a lot of weight and looked very healthy. He looked at the two children with his hands behind his back and said, "In the future, in addition to herding sheep, you will also have to learn to read with Ah Zhu and the others."

The two children nodded ignorantly and kowtowed to Mr. Dong respectfully.

Mr. Dong added: "Also, you have to water the trees every other day, and the vegetable garden every day."

Of course, this child is not the only one who is watering and carrying water. Ah Zhu, Ah Gua, and Song Yuan also have to participate, after all, they often eat here.

"Yes." The two children did not dare to object, and they just followed whatever the teacher said.

Mr. Dong pointed at the six-year-old girl and said to Shen Zhao, "She can't stay here. Take her with you when you go back."

Shen Zhao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what Mr. Dong meant: "Okay, she will follow her sister from now on."

I was negligent, thinking that the girl was still young and it would be fine for her to live with her two brothers, after all, she lived like that at home, but I forgot that all the people living here were teenagers. So Shen Zhao brought Song Xiaosi back home and let her live with Song Qiaoer.

In a blink of an eye, it was April and the Xue family was finally going back to the capital.

The day before leaving, Xue Song found Shen Ang again: "Brother Shen, after thinking about it, I still want to ask, where did Zhao find it? Can you tell me?"

Shen Ang glanced at him coldly: "Who told you that my daughter was picked up?"

Xue Song: "Brother Shen, there is no need to hide it. Last time, your niece told my wife everything. She said that you snatched a bundle from a wild dog during the peach blossom season. There was a baby girl in the bundle. It was Shen Zhao."

Shen Ang sneered: "You believe everything my niece says? Did she tell you how her father died?"

Xue Song was silent for a moment, then said, "Brother Shen, I have no intention of snatching the child from you. I just want to know the truth. Why are you so aggressive?"

"The truth is that you are mentally ill!" Shen Ang didn't want to get entangled with Xue Song. He was leaving the Northwest anyway. Even if he returned to the capital to make a comeback, he couldn't do anything to his family.

Xue Song was angry, but he couldn't do anything about Shen Ang.

Finally, he said, "Shen Ang, I will find out the truth, and don't regret it then!"

"Really? Then go check it out!" Shen Ang watched Xue Song go away, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Good boy, you actually threaten me. In that case, I will give you a good ride!
That night, a fire suddenly broke out in Xue's house. The fire burned so fiercely that it not only burned down the house, but also burned most of the luggage.

Fortunately, Xue Song reacted in time, broke out of the door with his wife and children, and held the important passport and documents in his arms, otherwise they would have to spend money to reissue them.

Looking at the burned clothes and bedding, Mrs. Xue cried bitterly: "What should we do? Everything is gone. How can we make it through the thousands of miles?"

Xue Song said nothing, but his eyes were fixed in the direction of the Shen family.

At this moment, he suddenly felt extremely afraid.

He finally had a chance to escape from this hellhole, and he didn't want his entire family to die on the way back.

Thinking of this, Xue Song did not intend to pursue the matter. He directly took his family to reunite with his uncle's family. He then took out most of his money and gave it to a Western Regions delegation, and his whole family followed the delegation.

Xue Song was right. Shen Ang really wanted to kill Xue Song, but when he thought that his daughter might really be a girl from the Xue family, he finally did not kill her.

What if his daughter already knew that she was Xue's child, and he killed her biological parents, wouldn't the Shen family become his daughter's enemy?

So he just wandered around Xue's house and then went home, and did not set any fire. As a result, Xue's house caught fire for no apparent reason.

Shen Ang was still wondering, he clearly did nothing, but someone actually did it for him.

So the next day, Shen Ang went to Xue's house to take a look and found that the three main rooms of Xue's house were burned out, but half of the wing rooms were not burned down.

The fire seemed to have started in the room where Xue's daughter lived.

Shen Ang and the three elders investigated and agreed that the fire was caused by the Xue family accidentally knocking over a candle.

For this purpose, the three elders and the village head wrote a report on the fire and submitted it to the county government.

Qin Yang saw the fire in Xue's house and suddenly felt fear in her heart.

She was also afraid that the same situation would happen in her family one day, so she hurried to find Uncle Qin and his wife Qin Zhang.

"Uncle, why don't you come back to the capital with us?" Qin Yang looked at Qin Zhang cautiously, "So we can take care of each other on the way."

Qin Zhang sat on the ground planing wood, without raising his head, he said: "We live well here, and we don't plan to go back." (End of this chapter)
