After some thought, Song Xiang decided to go to Meng Ling Xuan and ask him about his chess game.

After all, she had only been to town once, and her motives were quite strong. She had directly gone to the restaurant to sell her stuff and had not paid attention to any stall on the street.

Therefore, if she wanted to earn money, she might as well discuss it with Meng Ling Xuan. After all, Meng Ling Xuan's identity wasn't simple. Maybe he could give her some inspiration for her business.

Upon hearing that she was going to set up a business, Meng Ling Xuan couldn't help but be surprised. He looked at her and laughed out loud. "You are such a heroine. I didn't expect you to be so ambitious."

However, thinking of this ancient era where the status of females was extremely low, it was difficult for even females to leave their homes, let alone go do business. Although this unknown dynasty that she had transmigrated to did not have as strong a restriction on females as what she had heard in her previous life, the main thought in society was still the inferiority of males and females.

She curled her lips. "You just tell me where you're going to set up your stall, how the business is, and give me a rough estimate of the cost of setting up your stall."

Meng Fangxuan shook his head, looking at her with eyes full of doting. He didn't try to dissuade her and told her the truth about his two days in town.

Song Xiangsi nodded her head after listening to what he had to say. A sudden flash of joy flashed through her mind, and she hurriedly grabbed onto Meng Lianxuan's hand, happily asking, "Since you can make so much money every day by setting up a stall in the town, wouldn't it be even more profitable if we set up a stall in the provincial capital?"

In the provincial capital, there were many powerful people. Those who had money and time liked to stroll around when they had nothing to do and were generous with their money. Presumably, this business was much easier.

Meng Huaxuan raised his eyebrows. His gaze softened as he looked at her. He didn't expect that this little girl would raise such a big issue. With a single word from her, she would be able to reflect even more things.

He did not remind her, but nodded his head and encouraged Song Xiangsi, "I think that this idea is not bad. Setting up a stall in the provincial capital is definitely a good idea."

In any case, she only needed to do what she wanted to do. As for the rest, she just needed to leave it to him.

Song Xiangsi felt that she had finally found a way to do business, and she was very happy. She held onto Meng Fanxuan's hand and chatted for a while longer before going to rest.

"Boom —"

A loud noise suddenly came from outside the window, followed by a few more thunderous rumbles. His siblings were also awakened by the noise and ran over to Song Xiangsi's side in tears, sobbing while hugging her leg.

"Wuwuwu — — Thunder!" Song Cheng's eyes were blurred from sleep as he sobbed with his eyes closed.

The thunders were rolling outside the window. Song Xiangsi frowned as she said, "Why do you say that it's raining so easily?"

Not long after the thunder, a torrential rain began pouring down from the sky, pouring down like a torrential downpour.

Although the shabby thatched cottage that Song Xiangsi and the others lived in had been simply renovated by Meng Duanxuan, it still couldn't withstand such a heavy rain. A lot of water began to soak in from the cracks in the roof.

Outside, the wind was blowing and hitting the bodies of the few men. It was extremely cold.

Song Xiangsi couldn't help but shiver. Then, she felt her body warming up. Meng Ling Xuan took the fur-covered bed sheet that he was sleeping on and put it on the three of them. He was only wearing a thin spring outfit.

Song Xiangsi sneezed. Her big black eyes were watery as she turned to look at him. She could not help but ask, "What will you do if you give all of this to us?"

Meng Ling Xuan smiled and said calmly, "I'm a man, so it's not a big deal to blow the wind."

He was naturally handsome. With such a smile, he was even more captivating. Song Xiangsi quietly shifted her gaze away from him and raised her hand to wrap her younger brother and sister in the blanket even tighter.

Song Xiaoxiao sighed. She pursed her lips and whispered, "Looks like I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Song Xiangsi also felt upset. This house was too dilapidated. It was in the early summer. It would rain like this in the future. She could not just let it rain like this every time.

Meng Ling Xuan knew what she was thinking. In a low voice, he said, "It seems we need to change rooms."

Song Xiangsi nodded, "I think so too."

However, building a house was not as easy as buying a sesame seed cake. Song Xiangsi could not help but sigh. "We have to spend all our money on Lady Wang and Song Dabao. How can we have any extra money to build a house?

"I still have some more." Meng Fanxuan calmly opened his mouth and stared straight at Song Xiangsi. "Why don't we use it as an emergency measure first?"

Although she also wanted to quickly improve the current harsh living environment and provide a new house for her brothers and sisters, Meng Ling Xuan had already helped her too much. Today, he had even taken out 10 taels of silver to fend off his wife, so she really didn't want to owe him anymore.

After all, it was easy to return money, but difficult to repay a favor. With her past life's experience, she was used to not having too much economic interaction with others.

"Elder sister …" Song Xiaoxiao raised her head and looked at her with a burning gaze. Her bright black eyes were filled with the carefulness of a child. "In the future, we will have to live here."

Song Cheng also looked at her and frowned slightly. His small face was like a bun as he frowned. "Why do we have to leave home?"

Song Xiangsi felt her heart ache. She thought to herself, I was originally going to bring the two little fellows out to live a good life together. But now, before I even have a good life, I let them sleep with me and suffer through such hardships.

She thought of the Lin Clan, the woman who was beaten to death by Old Lady Wang for her own sake, and could not help but feel her heart twitch. After thinking for a moment, she nodded her head.

At this point, she raised her head and solemnly looked at Meng Ling Xuan. "However, I will definitely make money from now on and return your silver to you."

Meng Ling Xuan raised his eyebrows, but didn't comment.

He didn't need her to pay him back, but he knew that if he refused, she wouldn't be able to use his money in peace.

Song Xiangsi did not care what he thought. After that, she started to comfort her brother and sister, "Don't worry, sister will find someone to repair the new house in the village tomorrow. After a while, we will be able to live in a good house.

The two little fellows nodded and hugged Song Xiangsi tighter. Ever since their mother passed away, they could only rely on this big sister of theirs.

Just like this, the four of them snuggled together to warm themselves and slowly endured the stormy night.
