In the evening, every household on the manor had a dinner even more sumptuous than the New Year's Eve feast. The Manor Head also announced the good news that the Old Madam was waiving this year's land rent, and everyone was immersed in joy.
The village chief, although regretting that Hong Sheng did not pursue a good future for himself, knew that this child had strong principles and that the Old Madam of the Song Family was benevolent and would not mistreat him.
In private, the Old Madam also asked Susu what reward she wanted. Susu thoughtfully said, "I am the Old Madam's maid, even if I risk my life it is my duty. Susu just wants to stay by the Old Madam like the older sisters do, and when I reach the right age, buy a few acres of land and visit Old Madam often."
The Old Madam laughed and said, "Alright, then stay with me. When the time comes, I will keep my eyes open to arrange a good match for you."
Susu was not shy, just smiled while looking at the Old Madam.
