Sun Zhang Xing and Madam Miao went back to the compound to look after Sun Ming. Seeing that he was fine, the Sun couple went back to their shack to clean up.

Although there were no valuables in their home, when someone moved to another person’s yard, they still had to pack up some daily necessities.

After putting together two packs, Madam Miao picked out the best hare and two pheasants from the dried game and packed the rest. When they arrived at the compound with their luggage, she took the bag with the dried meat and set aside the three game animals to give to Lian Fang Zhou later.

Madam Li was also a kind person. After Sun Zhang Xing moved in with his family, she and her children went in and out and helped a lot. They made a fire with charcoal and brought over hot tea and water.

Seeing that Madam Miao had a bag of meat, she dared not accept it without Lian Fang Zhou’s approval, so she asked Qin Feng for help. Qin Feng thought about it for a while before accepting it with a nod.

Madam Li couldn’t help but sigh to Zhang Xiu’er later: “We really have good masters! Now we have food, clothing, and housing. We have enough to eat and wear and our home is clean and warm. Otherwise, how could we live until now? Look at this Sun family, ah, it’s really pitiful!”

Zhang Xiu’er nodded her head after hearing this: “Who said it wasn’t? Don’t worry, mother, I will work hard and satisfied the Miss!”

Madam Li smiled.

Putting down the meat, Madam Miao took the two pheasants and one hard to Lian Fang Zhou’s house.

Lian Fang Zhou was surprised when she saw her. When she saw Madam Miao’s heart, she stopped smiling and accepted it. Then she gave her a small bag of millet and a bottle of sauce given by the Su family, so she could take it back and make some gruel for Sun Ming to drink.

Madam Miao was overjoyed and very grateful.

After dinner, Lian Fang Zhou talked with Ah Jian about the Sun family and couldn’t help but smile: “Seeing the Sun family like this, I have an idea and I wanted to discuss it with you!”

Ah Jian asked, what was the idea?

Lian Fang Zhou said: “It’s about the land in Sanchakou. Next year, there will be cotton fields and orchards. I also want to raise chickens! It’s not very good to have no one to guard the property. It just so happens that the Sun family has no fields and depends on Uncle Sun’s hunting. This is not the same kind of life! In bad weather, its normal to not be able to enter the mountain for even ten and a half months! I think it might be good to simply hire this couple to help me guard the land. What do you think? After they return to the shack, I can build a temporary shelter on Xiaohuaguo mountain. At the end of the year, I will naturally build another house there.”

After talking, Lian Fang Zhou looked at Ah Jian and asked with a smile: “What do you think?”

Ah Jian smiled back. “You have already put a lot of thought into this, so what’s wrong with it? This will benefit both parties, I would be happy to welcome the Sun family!”

“The Sun family wouldn’t think I’m overstepping, right?” Lian Fang Zhou felt relieved when she heard Ah Jian’s words and couldn’t help but share her worries.

After thinking about this on her own, Lian Fang Zhou felt more and more confident the more she thought about it.

The couple had no roots and had no land, so they could help her take care of hers wholeheartedly.

Moreover, Sun Zhang Xing was a hunter and was therefore more sensitive to people’s movements than ordinary people. Then the time came, she would buy two more dogs to take care of and have them patrol the area several times a day, If anyone had bad ideas, they wouldn’t be able to escape his eyes!

“Why do you feel this is overstepping?” Ah Jian was amused and said: “If this was me, I would not dare to refuse! This is a good thing for them.”

Lian Fang Zhou gave him a look. “But isn’t his son going to take the scholarship exam? Will they feel that being hired by me is beneath them…?”

Ah Jian glanced at her weirdly and laughed: “When did you have such a strange idea? There family background is the same, what is the difference between hunting and employment? It’s not selling themselves as slaves! Besides, you giving them a wage will solve their problems, they couldn’t ask for this!”

Lian Fang Zhou was immediately relieved in her heart and smiled: “When you say it like this, I know it in my heart! After a few days, I will mention this to them. If this is the case, it will save us a lot of trouble!”

Ah Jian smiled and agreed.

After three of four days, Lian Fang Zhou really raised this matter with Sun Zhang Xing and Madam Miao.

As soon as Sun Zhang Xing heard that she would provide a place to live, just by looking at the conditions in the compound, he knew that the housing would be better than his own shack. He didn’t care about the three meals a day, just focusing on the offer of five silver coins a month.

Lian Fang Zhou even told him that there would still be time to go hunting, the only stipulation that she had to approve it before he went out. And though there would be some months were he would be too busy to go out, his salary during that time would be doubled!

It was rare to find an offer so considerate! Sun Zhang Xing believed that if he and Lian Fang Zhou had not mutually helped each other earlier, he would definitely not be offered such good conditions!

Madam Miao was about to agree immediately but Sun Zhang Xing coughed and stopped her. Sun Zhang Xing smiled and said that this was a major decision and he couldn’t make up his mind before considering it.

Lian Fang Zhou did not expect an answer right away, so she happily agreed to let them think about it for two days. There was nothing wrong with this.

However, before Lian Fang Zhou could even leave the compound, she heard Sun Zhang Xing chasing after her, calling ‘Miss Lian’ from behind.

She smiled and stopped.

Sun Zhang Xing ran up and nodded, smiling: “Let’s do it as Miss Lian said! Miss Lian can arrange it!”

Lian Fang Zhou was slightly startled but quickly smiled at him: “This is fine! Then you can live here with peace of mind, you don’t need to move back yet. Your shack, if you want to repair it, you can repair it. It doesn’t matter if you wait to fix it.”

Sun Zhang Xing agreed and thanked her before turning back.

Lian Fang Zhou couldn’t help but laugh. She had suddenly understood why Sun Zhang Xing had wanted to wait, wasn’t this to discuss it with his son? Sun Ming understood people and had likely agreed, so Sun Zhang Xing had chased after her to accept her offer.

Time passed and though the new year was over, the weather was still cold the last few days.

When there was nothing to do during the farming slack, rumors would spread fast and far with the wind, as if they had grown wings.

The story of Ah Jian killing the tiger in the village quickly spread throughout the ten villages and eight cities. It was very popular and everyone was curious when they mentioned him. Many people in the area came to Lian Fang Zhou’s family to find Ah Jian and inquire about the incident.

Ah Jian was not a vain person who enjoyed fame. People asked enthusiastically but he answered plainly, as simple as eating and sleeping. Not only did it disappoint this spectators but gradually, several different interpretations popped up.

Some people believed these stories wholeheartedly. After all, Little Zhang and the others had personally witnessed it, so how could it be fake?

Other people were skeptical, thinking that the Zhang family was Aunt Zhang’s maternal family. Aunt Zhang had always had a good relationship with Lian Fang Zhou’s family. How could Old Zhang and his family not help Ah Jian brag and boast? Otherwise, why would Ah Jian not have much to say? Obviously, this was a sign of a guilty conscience! But luckily, they were smart enough to know it.
