There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 140 You Deserve It

Li Shuchen couldn't stop smiling as he looked at so many people begging to survive.

"Take it one at a time, young man who has planted apple trees, you go first."

The young man, who had grown apple trees before, pushed through the crowd and politely spoke.

"Hello, Miss Li. My name is Liu Qing, I am twenty-two years old, and I live alone. I have some experience growing fruit trees, and I am willing to serve you."

Li Shuchen looked at the young man in front of him; he was upright and polite, and she felt quite favorable towards him.

Then I asked a few questions about fruit trees.

Liu Qing answered them all.

Li Shuchen nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, Liu Qing, stand behind me."

Liu Qing was overjoyed and hurriedly replied

"Thank you, Miss Li, thank you, Miss Li."

Before long, Li Shuchen found four people with experience in planting fruit trees.

In addition to nine strong young men, and Aunt Chen who was cooking.

Li Shuchen had filled his recruitment quota and showed no intention of leaving, so he sat on the bench and continued to wait.

Xiao Feng: "Miss, are we waiting for someone?"

Li Shuchen: "Yes"

Xiao Feng scratched his head. He wasn't sure who he was waiting for; he'd just wait with them.

A moment later, Li Shuchen saw a familiar person waving.

"Oriole, Oriole, look here!"

"Sister Li, Father, we're looking for Sister Li."

Ying'er's father carried Ying'er and walked towards Li Shuchen's direction.

"Miss Li"

"Sister Li, you look so beautiful without your mask on."

Li Shuchen took Ying'er's hand: "Ying'er, did you eat honey today? Your mouth is so sweet."

Ying'er thought that Sister Li was sweeter than honey.

Li Shuchen: "Ying'er, have you ever tasted honey? You said Sister Li is sweeter than honey."

"Ying'er has never eaten it before, but Ying'er thinks that Sister Li is the sweetest."

Li Shuchen: "Good girl, Ying'er, Sister Li will take you to eat honey."

"it is good"

Li Shuchen returned Ying'er to Ying'er's father, and then asked...

"Did you come to the capital to visit relatives or...?"

Ying'er's father frowned and shook his head, saying, "We have no relatives in the capital. We came all this way because we thought there were more opportunities and it would be easier to make a living there, and we wanted Ying'er to have a better life."

Li Shuchen nodded and said, "In that case, would you like to work at my estate? It'll be eight taels of silver a month. The work will be quite tiring and hard."

Upon hearing this, Ying'er's father nodded hurriedly: "Miss Li, I'm not afraid of hardship. As long as Miss Li is willing to give my son and me a place to live, I'm willing to endure any hardship."

Li Shuchen nodded: "Alright, come with me then."

Ying'er's father was overjoyed: "Ah!"

Li Shuchen waited a while longer, and at the back of the crowd, he saw Linglong.

Linglong quickly walked up to Li Shuchen and apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss, I've kept you waiting."

Li Shuchen: "It's alright, come back to the inn with me."

Linglong: "Yes, Miss."

After packing their things, Li Shuchen led them to the Happiness Inn.

Li Shuchen: "Uncle Xu, prepare lunch for them, make sure there's plenty, they didn't eat breakfast either. Also, prepare some honey for this little girl."

Manager Xu: "Yes, Miss, I'll arrange it right away."

After giving his instructions, Li Shuchen went to the accounting office, counted out four thousand taels of silver notes, put them in his money bag, and planned to settle the bill with the wealthy merchant.

When I came out, I saw Ying'er eating honey, so I went over and teased her a little.

"Ying'er, is the honey delicious?"

"Delicious, sweeter than sugar!"

Li Shuchen then asked, "Is it sweeter than Sister Li?"

"Sister Li is the sweetest in Ying'er's belly."

Li Shuchen burst into laughter after hearing this.

"Alright, Ying'er, let's eat. Sister Li has some things to do, so she'll be leaving now."

Goodbye, Sister Li.

Li Shuchen waved and said, "Goodbye, Ying'er."

Li Shuchen found the wealthy businessman, submitted the paperwork, and paid the money.

Back at the inn, I took the people I had recruited to Erguozhuang first.

Li Shuchen found Qi Niang

"Gather all the girls together; they're coming with me in a bit."

Seventh Sister: "Yes"

Li Shuchen looked at the newly recruited fruit farmers and selected five people to stay.

There aren't many fruit trees bearing fruit at Erguozhuang right now, and it's not busy, so we don't need that many people.

Seventh Sister: "Miss Li, everyone has arrived."

Li Shuchen nodded as he looked at the girls.

"Go, go."

And so, Li Shuchen led all the girls, along with Ying'er's father and Ying'er, towards the Three Fruit Garden.

After all, Ying'er would be safer living in an environment with many girls, and since the girls all knew martial arts, no one would dare to act recklessly.

The group entered Sanguozhuang

Caiyi couldn't hide her delight: "Wow, Miss Li, this orchard is even bigger and more beautiful!"

Li Shuchen: "That's right. From now on, you'll live in this orchard. When the fruit ripens and you sell it, your Yingzhu will get a share of the profits."

Seventh Sister beamed from ear to ear: "Don't worry, Miss Li, we will definitely protect the fruit."

Li Shuchen: "I certainly believe in you."

Ying'er stared at the fruit and smiled, "Sister Li, there are so many fruits here. Will Ying'er live here from now on?"

Li Shuchen replied, "Yes, Ying'er, the fruit is ripe, so I'll pick it for you to eat. Not only that, but many older sisters will also play with you. Doesn't that sound good, Ying'er?"

Ying'er: "Great! Ying'er is already living the wonderful life Sister Li talked about so quickly. I'm so happy!"

Li Shuchen patted Ying'er's head.

"Go with your father to his room and take a look."

"Okay, Father, go and see! Ying'er is going to live in a big house!"

Ying'er's father picked up Ying'er, smiled, and turned to walk into a room.

Li Shuchen looked at the other men and said

"You will live with Ying'er's father in the house on the west side."

"Yes, Miss."

Li Shuchen looked at the girls and said

"You guys come with me"

The girls followed Li Shuchen to a row of houses on the east side.

The group went inside.

Li Shuchen took out two thousand taels of silver from his purse and handed it to Qi Niang, saying, "The accounts for the fruits and melons sold over the past month and a half are settled. Your Yingzhu has received two thousand taels of silver."

Seventh Sister declined, saying, "Our Lady Ying has spent a lot of money on Miss Li during her time of injury. Miss Li, please accept it."

Caiyi came over after looking at the room.

"Yes, Miss Li, please take the money. Our Lady Ying has been happy every day since she met you."

"Besides, you've been so good to us, we've had enough to eat every day, and we often have meat too, so we don't need the money."

Li Shuchen said, "She was injured because of me, so I should take responsibility. You all need money, so how about this, I'll take the liberty of paying your salaries on Yuying's behalf."

Twenty girls, each given twenty taels of silver.

Caiyi's mouth dropped open in surprise: "Twenty taels of silver! That's so much!"

Li Shuchen: "In the past month and a half, there has never been a case of lost or stolen fruit in your transportation or fruit shops. This is what you deserve for your hard work."

Li Shuchen counted out four hundred taels of silver and said, "There are four hundred taels of silver here in total. Seventh Sister, you can distribute them."

Seventh Sister accepted it with both hands: "Thank you, Miss Li."

Li Shuchen smiled and said, "Alright, you guys pack your things and get used to the new estate."

Seventh Sister: "Yes"

Caiyi: "I've wanted to see the whole new orchard for a long time."

Li Shuchen: "See? See?"

Li Shuchen hummed a little tune as he strolled around every house in the orchard.

The decor is good, and it's more convenient, with all kinds of facilities readily available.

It's definitely more suitable for Qi Niang and Caiyi to live in.
