“All right.” Having placed the Black Needle back into the deer leather bag, Yang Mengchen prepared to leave with Yang Chengrong and Yang Chengyou.

“Ms. Yang, please wait a moment.”

Hua Ziyu promptly called out to Yang Mengchen, and reached to pull the blanket over his upper body. Although it wasn’t the first time he had bared his skin in front of Yang Mengchen, he still felt rather embarrassed, “I see you’re all very busy during the day, and at night you teach the villagers to read and practice martial arts. Have you not considered hiring a teacher?”

Understanding Hua Ziyu’s thoughts, Yang Mengchen’s face remained as calm as still water, “Young Master Hua, please speak frankly.”

“What I mean is, since I’m going to be staying here for a while and have nothing else to do, why don’t I teach the children during the day? That way, you can also have some relief. What do you think, Ms. Yang?”

“Getting more exercise would indeed help in your quicker recovery,” Yang Mengchen pondered, then said, “I’ll speak with the village chief about it tomorrow. However, you have also seen that the villagers are struggling and can’t afford to pay Shuxiu.”

Hearing this, Hua Ziyu smiled, “Ms. Yang, rest assured. I am willing to teach the children voluntarily, without charging any Shuxiu.”

“Then on behalf of the villagers, I thank Young Master Hua for his enthusiastic generosity,” Yang Mengchen expressed, very satisfied with Hua Ziyu’s proactive approach.

Watching Yang Mengchen’s departing figure, a tender and doting look appeared in Hua Ziyu’s eyes, “Ms. Yang really isn’t one to suffer any losses.”

“That’s for sure. She always talks about Silver Coin; it’s like she’s got her eye on the money,” Black Wolf nodded in agreement.

That afternoon, he had insisted that Ms. Yang rename Xiao Bai but to his astonishment, she demanded five hundred taels of silver as a renaming fee. She also said that Xiao Bai’s name was pleasant and suited its appearance, and moreover, she was too busy and lacked the energy to come up with a new name for Xiao Bai, leaving him dumbfounded.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford the five hundred taels of Silver Coin, but seeing his master’s gently depthful eyes, he could only accept the reality with tears.

Suddenly noticing Xiao Bai eyeing covetously at his side, Black Wolf abruptly changed his tune, “But Ms. Yang is wise and capable, her Medical Skill is extraordinary, her cooking skills are top-notch, she’s as gentle as an orchid in her heart…” He didn’t care whether Xiao Bai understood or not and rattled off a bunch of praises.

Hua Ziyu and Wei Wenhai twitched at the corners of their mouths as they listened. Hua Ziyu stared straight at Black Wolf. The usually reticent brute hadn’t said a word all this time – when had Black Wolf become so eloquent?

Well, in truth, Black Wolf genuinely admired Yang Mengchen to the core. Not to mention that the Imperial Physicians had not detected the poison in his master, while Yang Mengchen not only diagnosed it but also cured his master. And just practicing the Tai Chi that Yang Mengchen taught the villagers tonight, he felt the martial art combined hardness with softness and was capable of endless variations—simply marvelously superb.

Lazily sprawled in the nest specially made for it by its owner, Xiao Bai did not even bother with the three foolish humans.

The next morning, Yang Mengchen, Yang Chengrong, and Yang Chengyou arrived at the Zhao family’s house with Xiao Guai.

Yang Mengchen took out ten taels of Silver Coin and handed them to Old Master Zhao, “This is the pay for the chalk your family has made during this time. Please accept it, Grandpa Zhao.”

“No, no, we can’t accept this. You not only teach the villagers literacy and martial arts but also provide the blackboards. How could we take this money?” Old Master Zhao refused repeatedly, “Mengchen, take it back. Those materials were useless anyway; consider it a contribution we make to the village.”

Hearing this, Yang Mengchen did not insist further, “Grandpa Zhao, is that abandoned kiln factory nearby owned by your family?”

“Hmm, we originally planned to produce bricks and tiles, but unfortunately, none were successful, and the kiln was abandoned,” said Yang Mengchen with a smile, waving her hand. “If you want the kiln, you can have it.” Having received a great favor from her, Old Master Zhao felt it was only right to offer the abandoned kiln, yet he didn’t know what else to give her.

Zhao Chunping and his brother nodded in agreement.

“I don’t want the kiln,” Yang Mengchen laughed and shook her head. “I want to cooperate with you to produce bricks, tiles, and a new type of building material. Although we would only sell this building material in Yongchang Town, the profit would be very significant.”

“If you want to run the kiln, you can let your brothers manage it. Just give us a shout if you need anything; let’s forget about the cooperation,” receiving a nod from his siblings. Considering the building material to be so profitable, all three members of the Zhao family felt they couldn’t get involved, or else it would be biting the hand that feeds them.

“I’m busy with many things, and my family members also have their own affairs. We don’t have the time to manage the kiln,” Yang Mengchen continued with a smile. “I trust you, which is why I will provide the formula and guidance, and you will handle the production. We will split the earnings — fifty-fifty.”

Old Master Zhao still wanted to decline, but Zhao Chunping had already spoken up to accept, “Since you trust us, we will take on this favor from you. However, just like Young Master Luo, we will sign a contract with you, and as for the formula, you need not tell us.”

Seeing the meaningful glance from Zhao Chunping, both Old Master Zhao and Zhao Chunshan quickly realized that she was indeed trying to help them. If they kept refusing, it would be spurning her kindness. They would be better off working hard on the kiln to repay her.

Yang Mengchen signed the contract with Old Master Zhao right then and there.

“First, get the kiln ready and prepare the raw materials listed on this paper. I will teach you how to produce the bricks and tiles later. We will also need to hire some workers. Now that there are two factories, your family won’t be able to handle it all.”

Old Master Zhao nodded, “I’ll go to the village to hire people afterward.” With the demand for medicine bottles increasing and the kiln’s workload growing, it was indeed too much to handle.

Afterward, Yang Mengchen and her siblings visited the village chief to discuss the children’s daytime education, then they headed back home.

Not far from the village chief’s house, Yang Mengchen suddenly said to Yang Chengrong and Yang Chengyou, “I forgot to tell them that Brother Siyuan has been promoted to assistant manager of the main hall at the Drunken Immortal Tavern. Elder brothers, just let them know about Brother Siyuan’s recent situation when you get back.”

“You go, fourth brother. Xiao Guai and I will wait for you here,” Yang Chengrong ordered Yang Chengyou, sensing that something was off.

The always perceptive Yang Chengyou had a hunch that his sister’s words were a bit unusual, and when he looked at her, he caught her meaningful gaze. Following her line of sight, he understood, “Elder brother, let’s go together. If I miss anything, you can fill in the details.”

Yang Chengrong saw no harm, but he was uncomfortable with leaving his sister alone to wait. “Since it’s not far, let’s all go back together.”

“The midday sun is somewhat harsh. I’ll just wait here for elder brother and fourth brother,” said Yang Mengchen as she playfully clung to her elder brother’s arm, seeing his hesitation. “Don’t worry, elder brother. It’s daytime, and Xiao Guai is here; nothing will happen to me.”

“With nine sister’s exceptional martial arts, flying needles, and poison skills, there’s no need to worry. We’ll be quick,” Yang Chengyou also persuaded.

Feeling his sister’s frailty and not wanting her to run back and forth under the burning sun, Yang Chengrong told her to wait there and quickly walked with Yang Chengyou towards the village chief’s house.

Once their figures had disappeared, Yang Mengchen said indifferently, “Come out.”
