Chapter 157

Hearing the commotion, the people gathered around the accountant looked over.

Seeing Song Tao jump off the mule cart, everyone was stunned. Someone shouted "Third Miss Song is here," and the crowd swarmed around Song Tao and her companions. One person clamored, "Third Miss, it was you who asked us to come here, and now your dad won't even pay our wages. You tell us what to do?"

Another said, "Third Miss, you have to stand up for us!"

Some even tried to kneel and kowtow, "Third Miss, please, lend me some silver. I'll work like an ox or a horse to repay you."

Song Tao helped one up then pulled another to their feet, "Don't talk like this, get up, please get up!"

The Grand Steward of the Hong Family and the two Protectors he brought exchanged a subtle glance, then spoke on behalf of Song Tao, "Third Miss Song has come here to help you out. Clear the way for Third Miss Song. Otherwise, she won't be able to meet with Old Master Song and discuss the matter of the kiln factory."
