After an incense stick of time, Jiang Manman came out and called Zhou Rongrong in. Most families had already identified their families, only a few children and a few girls' families had not shown up.

But many people expressed their willingness to adopt these children, and no one mentioned it because the girls were about to get married and were no longer suitable for adoption.

Zhou Rongrong called these people to the inner courtyard and asked a few children for their opinions. Except for Li Hao, these children were all very shy and snuggled up to Li Hao, waiting for their eldest brother to speak.

Li Hao thought very clearly that in his original home, his mother was the one his father married later. When he disappeared, she had already given birth to his younger brother. He thought that the family lived a good life.

It didn't matter to him whether to go back or not. He had thought it through. If his father came to pick him up, he would go back and not cause trouble for Madam Zhou. If his father didn't come, he would make the decision for himself and sell himself into slavery.

Li Hao said: "Madam Zhou, we can, we can sell ourselves to you and be maids and servants for you. We are very capable."

Li Hao tugged at the corner of his clothes, feeling very uneasy and afraid that Zhou Rongrong would disagree. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zhou Rongrong's expression.

Zhou Rongrong laughed softly and said, "You are so young, what can you do?"

One of the little girls said crisply: "I, I can cook, wash clothes, clean, I can do everything."

Several children also said in unison: "Yes, we all can do it. We will work hard."

Zhou Rongrong pouted and touched the children's heads and asked, "Why do you want to stay? Don't you want to go home?"

Li Hao shook his head and said seriously: "I don't want to go back. My father is not a good father. At least I can learn a few words here, and at least I can eat and wear warm clothes."

The other children looked younger than Li Hao and were still naive. They just followed whatever their elder brother did and had no ideas of their own. Zhou Rongrong hurriedly asked the children to ask if their families had been found or something.

"You guys wait a minute."

As for the situation of these six girls, Jiang Manman also asked Yang Tian to find out.

Soon Jiang Manman pulled Zhou Rongrong aside and whispered.

"Aunt, Lord Yang said that these sisters' families were unwilling to take them home, and no matter how much they were persuaded, they just refused. Except for Li Hao, whose family explicitly rejected them, saying that they were afraid that their tempers would be bad, they didn't want them anymore. The families of the other children moved away and are still looking for someone else. Only Qiaoqiao has no parents at home."

After Zhou Rongrong learned about the situation, the six girls continued to live in Zhou's house temporarily and work in the Mafeisan workshop as before.

As for the children, except for the ones who were still at home, Zhou Rongrong left behind Li Hao and the little girl named Qiaoqiao. The little girl's name was also related to Zhou Rongrong, as she also had the surname Zhou and the name Qiaoqiao.

These arrangements naturally also secured benefits for the girls and children who had found their families, and each of them was compensated with fifty taels of silver in the name of the court.

As for Li Hao and his friends, they received one hundred taels of silver. This money would be given to Li Hao and his friends first. After all, in addition to the compensation, money also needed to be paid to Zhou Rongrong.

The amount of medicine taken and the length of time you stayed in the hospital were all charged, and the rest would be paid after you went to the government office.

Li Lianyun has already gotten used to this place. Although he is happy to see his parents whom he has not seen for a long time, he is reluctant to go back to his hometown. The old couple decides to live in Dashan Village.

Li Lianyun went to talk to Zhou Rongrong about this matter and introduced his father's identity as a scholar. Zhou Rongrong slapped her thigh.

"Oh, good, good, very good. I was just worried about finding a teacher. Is your father willing to teach in the village? Don't worry, the village will arrange a place for you to live. The village will also pay two taels of silver a month. Go and ask your father if he is willing?"

As soon as Li Lianyun said that, Li Ji immediately agreed and said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you, Madam Zhou, of course I am willing. I don't have any other skills, but I have been a teacher for more than ten years."

Uncle Zhou also said happily, holding Li Ji's hand, afraid that he would run away: "Okay, okay, brother, we have a deal, for sure."

Under the influence of Zhou Rongrong and several children, the villagers became good villagers who loved to study. Two taels of silver a month, the villagers raised one tael, and the village also contributed one tael.

As for the house, the construction teams in the village are experienced in this field and can just build it directly. For the time being, the family can just live in the small courtyard next to the village ancestral hall.

Zhou Rongrong also told Yang Tian about the child with joint problems, asking him to arrange for someone to live in the town first to recuperate before setting the bones. As for the child with serious joint problems, she would be called when the bones needed to be set. Yang Tian wrote them down one by one.

After the matter was settled, Yang Tian took his people away. The county magistrate was also responsible for the subsequent cleanup, and Dashan Village returned to a peaceful life.

Just a few days later, another big thing happened in Dashan Village. Zhou Rongrong and Jiang Huaizhi divorced! Even the children changed their surnames to Zhou.

This incident shocked the entire Dashan Village, and the villagers called him an ungrateful person. However, when they saw Jiang Huaizhi lying on the bed, breathing out more than breathing in, they all understood.

This won't work. In order to act realistically, Zhou Rongrong and a few other kids looked extremely sad to the outside world.

Zhou Rongrong has been extremely exhausted these past few days. She doesn’t know if there’s something wrong with the medicine Xie Wuyou took or what, but he seems to be really sick.

He looked like he was about to collapse at any moment and was very weak. He was also like a child, asking Zhou Rongrong to feed him soup, then asking Zhou Rongrong to hold his hand to make him feel better, then asking Zhou Rongrong to rub his discomfort somewhere.

He was such a clingy person that he wished Zhou Rongrong would stay by his side all day. Zhou Rongrong was very patient and stayed by his side for several days. Finally, he got angry and asked, "Are you going to die or not?"

Xie Wuyou nodded and bowed: "Die, die, die immediately."
