Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Huaiyu Takes Action Chapter 389: Huaiyu Makes a Move Seeing Mengyu’s power with his own eyes and hearing her teach them martial arts, Ah Xin couldn’t hide his excitement: "Alright, I agree." Even without any compensation, as long as she could teach him martial arts, he would agree. Which apprentice doesn’t do tasks for their Master? However, Mengyu said, "Just you agreeing isn’t enough. Go back and discuss it with your little brothers. If you all agree, we’ll sign a contract. After signing the contract, I’ll start teaching you martial arts. After the New Year, you can begin collecting scrap." Mengyu thought, whether it was surveilling Jiang Huaiyu or collecting scrap, they needed to have certain skills; otherwise, surveillance would easily lead to being discovered, and antiques collected might easily be snatched away. After the reform and opening up, suppressed matters from various quarters would emerge rapidly, leading to several years of chaos until the crackdown in ’83 restore order. She couldn’t possibly wait until after ’83 to start collecting old items. Moreover, even if under the guise of collecting scrap to obtain antiques, they must still be discreet, or they could become targets during the crackdown. After Ah Chou was discharged from the hospital, Mengyu gave Ah Xin some money to fix the doors and windows of the old factory building to improve the living environment. But Ah Xin could only bitterly smile: "Master, you don’t know. If we fix these doors and windows, we might just get kicked out of here." Since Mengyu started teaching him martial arts, whether formally accepted as a disciple or not, he began calling her Master. Mengyu told them not to call her Master, but although they agreed verbally, they continued nonetheless. Hearing Ah Xin’s words, Mengyu was noticeably stunned: There would always be homeless people, and every homeless person must find a place to stay. If their dwelling becomes too nice, it would attract other vagrants to compete for it. Mengyu had no choice but to give up on that plan. However, she still bought some nylon to nail over the broken factory windows and fixed the doors. In addition, she bought each of the dozen children grain and cotton blankets, new cotton clothes. At the very least, she ensured they had food and warmth. "Living here isn’t a long-term solution. During this period, all of you keep an eye out for housing sale information. See if there are any houses for sale, and we’ll buy it. Whether it’s an apartment building or a bungalow, both are fine. Find anything, come back and tell me." Ah Xin couldn’t believe it, "You’re going to buy a house?" Mengyu nodded, "You can’t always live in this abandoned factory building. Moreover, as far as I know, this abandoned factory is about to be put to use again. You won’t be able to stay here much longer. If we don’t look for a house now, do you plan to sleep on the streets later?" A downcast expression appeared on Ah Xin’s face. What should he do, as he owes her more and more? In this manner, Mengyu started her daily training with the rubbish-picking children. For convenience, she chose two rooms in this abandoned factory complex and set up an Array, only she and Xiao Hua could enter. In addition to practicing martial arts, there was also cultural education, primarily supervised by Xiao Hua, who taught them to recognize words and read books. To increase the children’s cultivation speed, she exchanged for a dozen Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills with Essence Value. This expense used up all the Essence Value that Xiao Tao had left behind. Thinking about Ah Chou’s hospital stay, she felt that she should learn alchemy. Plus, studying alchemy could also bring a substantial amount of Learning Value. Furthermore, to obtain Cultivation Techniques, she had to do good deeds to earn Merit Points. She already had the Wood Immortal Skill, but some attack techniques also required Merit Points to exchange. Just as she was about to enter the space to start learning alchemy, an urgent voice came from outside: "Master, Master, that woman has left the city." The one knocking was a twelve-year-old boy named Ah Biao. He was a child who had been trafficked, and after escaping on his own, he couldn’t remember his hometown and became a street wanderer. Later, Ah Xin took him in, and he became a child of the "Garbage Gang". The "that woman" he referred to was Jiang Huaiyu. Does this mean Jiang Huaiyu is making a move?
