My whole family sucked my blood; after being reborn, the little cook went on a killing spree.

Su Wan Ning sensed that he had something to say, so she asked directly, "Just say what you want to say."

The little boy glanced at Su Tang, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Sister Su, can you help us come up with a name?"

There were seven children present, all of whom were homeless. The oldest was Xiao Hei, who was only nine years old, and the youngest was only five. Those who could remember their names had been abandoned by their families, and those who couldn't remember their names had no idea where their homes were.

So the group arranged themselves in order of age, calling each other "eldest brother" and "second brother".

The little black boy considered himself the eldest and took good care of his younger brothers. He also felt responsible for the future, so he thought about it for a long time and observed Su Wan Ning for a long time before shamelessly making this request.

"Sister Su, now that we have a name, we have something to look forward to. We'll work hard to earn money, buy our own houses and land, get married, and live here."

As the children listened, their eyes slowly began to light up.

The little boy added, "But if Sister goes somewhere else in the future, we'll go with her. When we're older, there will be places willing to hire us. Then, when we earn money, we can take care of Sister!"

"Yes, we all remember how good our sister is to us."

"Thank you, Sister Su!"

Initially, the group and Su Wanning established a very simple cooperative relationship simply because of Su Tang.

One provided steamed buns and dumplings, while the other went from street to street gathering information.

But gradually, they found that the food Sister Su gave them was getting better and better. The black steamed buns turned into white steamed buns, the vegetarian buns turned into meat buns, and there was also thick meat porridge, fragrant stir-fried dishes, and even white rice and sweet drinks.

These values ​​far exceed what they can bring.

They should repay this kindness!

Su Wan Ning hadn't really thought that much about it. They were all so devoted to her, so she was trying her best to provide them with better food in return. The fact that they were all so thoughtful and knew how to plan for the future showed that they had really thought things through carefully.

She felt like she was raising a bunch of babies.

"Alright, do you have any favorite characters or meanings? I can ask Madam Meng later to see if there are any suitable resettlement options for you."

The little boy shook his head. "Sister, I checked. The refugees have all been assigned to remote villages. Only adult men can get land. Orphans like us can only go to orphanages. We've discussed it. Rather than going to an orphanage and sitting around waiting to die, only to be kicked out after a few years, it's better to stay outside, find some work, earn some money, and save enough to register our household."

"Sister, just name it for me. I don't know anything about this."

"Sister, I want to have the surname Su too!"

"Me too! Me too!"

Su Wanning nodded. These children were more ambitious and intelligent than she had imagined.

After a moment's thought, she spoke slowly, "Then let's use 'May Heaven protect you and grant you abundant harvests.' The first two characters will be Su Cheng."

Several people looked at each other.

The little black boy was the first to figure it out.

"So, I should be called Su Chengtian? It sounds better!"

The remaining individuals, in order, are Su Chengbao, Su Chengding, Su Chenger, Su Chengbi, Su Chengjian, and Su Chenggu.

Su Wan Ning saw this sentence not long after she entered the palace, in that room full of books.

That year was also a year of severe drought, and people were dying everywhere.

The boy was surrounded by food boxes, and he held a copy of the Book of Songs in his hand, reciting in a clear voice, "Heaven protects you and grants you abundant harvests."

But she was starving to death.

"You were able to survive this year's severe drought, which is truly thanks to the protection of Heaven. That's why we use the character '承' (Cheng) for you. 'Heaven protects you' means that Heaven will protect you and grant you peace and prosperity, allowing you to escape the sea of ​​suffering and enjoy good fortune and peace."

Su Wanning smiled as she looked at them, "I hope you will be blessed by God for the rest of your lives, and enjoy wealth and good health."

The group of people were so excited that their faces turned red, and they nodded vigorously.

"I'll definitely never go hungry again."

The character 榖 means grain.

Su Chenggu was the youngest, pouting as if he wanted to cry, yet he also felt it was the best thing ever. Why did he want to cry? After he finished speaking, tears still uncontrollably streamed down his face.

After a bout of crying and laughing, Su Wan Ning shooed them into the house to sleep.

A few soft cushions were laid on the ground to make a large communal sleeping area, which was clean and comfortable, much better than the dilapidated temple they were currently living in.

When we have time, we should find Xie Yan to rent another house, or even just buy one and have them move out of the dilapidated temple. It's not good for them to stay outside all dirty.

Given how popular her shop is right now, she definitely needs a few kids to help with processing medicinal herbs, mixing tea packets, and doing other chores.

Let's forget about the identity of the little beggar.

As a result, before Su Wan Ning could even look for Xie Yan that afternoon, Xie Yan showed up.

She came to deliver the news of death; Zhou Manshan had died.

Zhou Manshan was paralyzed in bed. If he had behaved himself, he could have lived a few more days. But he couldn't bear to see Xie Yan getting better and better, so he discussed with his mother about selling Xie Yan.

Xie Yan didn't hold back and sold Zhou's mother outright.

Zhou Manshan was so angry that he wanted to hit her, but he fell off the bed and died.

Xie Yan directly registered as a female household member using her status as a widow, and from then on, she was completely free.

"But I still need to transport Zhou Manshan's body back."

Su Wanning was a little worried. "Are you going back to Songxiwu?"

Once you go back, it will be difficult to come back.

Fortunately, Xie Yan didn't do anything foolish. "I've hired someone to transport Zhou Manshan back. I came to tell you that I've been staying at the brokerage firm these past few days."

If the Zhou family harbors ill intentions again, as long as she is in the brokerage firm and has her household registration, they will have to be wary.

Su Wanning felt that this was already a very good solution and immediately agreed.

The two discussed some more details, and Su Wanning brought up the matter of buying or renting a house. Xie Yan thought about it for a moment and found a suitable place not far from the shop.

The house is a bit old, but it's conveniently located and inexpensive.

Su Wanning simply bought the house.

When Su Chengtian and the others found out, they insisted on signing a contract of servitude, otherwise they refused to move in.

Sometimes, too much gratitude can become a burden, so Su Wan Ning didn't refuse. However, she didn't sign a life-or-death contract, but rather a five- or ten-year contract based on their age.

Two days later, after the children had been settled, there was still no word from Lin Jiabao.

Su Wan Ning guessed that it was probably because there were too many people in the county town, making it difficult for them to make a move? Once she left the town, what awaited her might be those ten bloodthirsty bandits.

The opportunity to leave the city came soon.

The third wife of the Li family, Madam Feng, finally succumbed to her fate and died.
