Double Transmigration: Many Children, Many Blessings, Conquering Fairy Tales and Reality

Qin Hao's calm and gentle voice stood out clearly in the noisy crowd.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding townspeople instantly fell silent, turning their heads in unison to look at the black-haired youth who had suddenly stepped forward.

After a brief silence, someone in the crowd gasped in surprise:

"My God, isn't this Mr. Qin Hao?"

"Mr. Qin Hao? Who is that?"

A bewildered town resident standing nearby asked.

"You don't even know that? It's that wealthy merchant from the East who came from afar a couple of days ago!"

The town resident who recognized Qin Hao lowered his voice excitedly, his eyes filled with awe.

"It is said that he came out of the depths of the forest alone, carrying the bloody head of an adult werewolf!"

He's now a very important figure, personally received and highly regarded by the Baron!

"Hiss—a hero who can single-handedly kill a werewolf?!"

"My goodness! I never imagined that such a distinguished businessman as Mr. Qin Hao would be so kind, willing to lower himself to help Little Red Riding Hood!"

Although the townspeople's whispers were not loud, they still reached Little Red Riding Hood's ears clearly.

Although Little Red Riding Hood had been well protected by her mother and was not very clear about what was happening outside, she immediately understood from the awe-inspiring and amazed discussions of her neighbors.

The strangely dressed, handsome young man with black hair in front of me is definitely a high-ranking figure, and an extremely powerful hero who has slain a bloodthirsty werewolf!

Thinking of the other party's distinguished status, Little Red Riding Hood suddenly became somewhat reserved.

She clutched the edge of the red cloak tightly, her watery eyes filled with gratitude, and timidly spoke:

"Thank you... thank you, sir. You are a kind hero, but... I am just an orphan with no one to rely on, and I have no way to repay your kindness."

Seeing the girl's pitiful yet sensible appearance, Qin Hao's gaze softened.

"I don't need anything in return from you, Little Red Riding Hood."

Qin Hao shook his head slightly, his tone natural and sincere.

"Actually, your grandmother once took me in when I was lost in the forest and showed me the safe route out of the forest."

Therefore, my helping you today is a way of repaying the kindness of that old man who gave me directions.

Qin Hao's excuse was flawless.

This not only perfectly explained why he, an outsider, should meddle in other people's business, but also established a noble image of gratitude in front of Little Red Riding Hood.

"So that's how it is..."

Hearing Qin Hao mention his grandmother, Little Red Riding Hood's eyes welled up with tears again.

She could no longer contain her excitement and gratitude; tears streamed down her face as she repeatedly bowed deeply to Qin Hao.

"Thank you so much, thank you so much!"

"It was just a small favor."

Qin Hao smiled and waved his hand, then called to the townspeople around him.

"Gentlemen, respect for the deceased is paramount. Since we are all neighbors, let's lend a hand and give this poor mother a proper burial."

With Qin Hao, the "wolf-slaying hero" and "tycoon," speaking up, the townspeople naturally worked extremely hard.

With everyone's help, they dug a hole in the public cemetery outside the town.

Qin Hao paid for an expensive mahogany coffin and properly buried Little Red Riding Hood's mother.

A light drizzle fell as Little Red Riding Hood knelt before her mother's new grave, weeping silently for a long time.

Qin Hao stood quietly to the side, holding an umbrella to shield her from the wind and rain, and occasionally whispering words of comfort.

This silent companionship feels especially warm in this cold, alien world.

Once the funeral was completely over, Qin Hao booked a fairly decent tavern in the town and treated all the neighbors who had helped with the burial to a lavish meal of roast meat and beer.

Cannibals are soft and short.

After a hearty meal, the neighbors gave her a thumbs up and kept praising Little Red Riding Hood for being lucky to have met such a kind person as Qin Hao during her most difficult time.

Little Red Riding Hood wanted to strongly dissuade Qin Hao from spending so much money, because in her opinion, Qin Hao had not only helped her bury her mother, but was now spending so much money to treat her to a meal.

This debt of gratitude was too heavy for her, so heavy that she felt she might never be able to repay it in her lifetime.

Qin Hao simply waved his hand dismissively. He led Little Red Riding Hood to a quiet corner of the tavern, handed her a cup of warm goat's milk, and asked with a smile:

"Little Red Riding Hood, the dead are gone, but the living must go on. What are your plans for the future?"

Little Red Riding Hood held the warm cup and shook her head somewhat blankly.

She was, after all, just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who had been growing up carefree under her mother's protection.

Now that disaster has struck, she is suddenly left to shoulder the heavy responsibility of life alone. Her mind is completely blank, and she has no long-term plans whatsoever.

She thought about it carefully for a while before whispering:

"I...I plan to go to the forest to deliver food to my grandmother first. Then...I'll go back to town to find a job doing laundry or odd jobs, and work hard to earn money to support myself and my grandmother."

"A very practical and filial plan."

Qin Hao nodded, looking at her approvingly.

Then, he changed the subject and revealed his true purpose:

"So, if you really want to repay this kindness and are looking for a stable job...would you be interested in working for me?"

The girl's eyes widened suddenly, and an unbelievable look of surprise flashed in her clear pupils.

"R-really? Mr. Qin Hao, you're willing to take me in?"

"certainly."

Qin Hao smiled slightly, his tone gentle yet carrying an unprecedented seriousness.

"As you know, I am an Eastern merchant who has just arrived in this place."

I just bought a large courtyard house in the town center a couple of days ago as my place to stay, but I'm the only one there right now. There's no one to clean, cook, or take care of me.

I want you to be my personal maid.

Qin Hao paused for a moment, then continued:

"Furthermore, I may sometimes engage in the buying and selling of large commodities."

You might have to temporarily act as my accountant and assistant.

This job might be a bit tough, are you willing to take it? As for the pay...

Qin Hao held up one finger:

"Ten silver coins a month. How about that?"

Upon hearing the number, the girl froze instantly, as if she had been frozen in place.

In the Kingdom of Osi, a strong adult man can only earn one silver coin a month by carrying heavy loads at the docks, working himself to the bone!

The exorbitant salary Qin Hao offered was enough to buy ten low-level laborers like her!

Seeing Little Red Riding Hood standing there dumbfounded, Qin Hao deliberately raised an eyebrow and teased her with a smile:

"What? You think it's too hard and you don't want to?"

"No! I do! I absolutely do!"

Little Red Riding Hood then seemed to wake from a dream, frantically waving her hands, her eyes reddening with worry.

"But...but the wages are too high! Mr. Qin Hao, I'm just a clueless girl who doesn't know anything, I can't afford that much money."

If you could just give me a bite to eat, or even just one silver coin a month, I would be eternally grateful!

"Silly child, what kind of employee would willingly accept a pay cut?"

Seeing her anxious expression, Qin Hao couldn't help but chuckle, then his tone became more assertive:

"I, Qin, always keep my word. If I say I'll give you 10 silver coins, then it's 10 silver coins."

"Just agree obediently, and leave the rest to me."

"Yes...yes, Master."

Hearing Qin Hao's strong yet protective words, Little Red Riding Hood's cheeks flushed slightly.

In the end, he could only obediently nod, and even the way he addressed Qin Hao changed naturally.

At that moment, she secretly raised her eyes and looked at Qin Hao's handsome and confident profile.

In addition to deep gratitude, her eyes also held a touch of girlish admiration and dependence.

Little Red Riding Hood sighed silently in her heart.

I clearly intended to repay this debt of gratitude, but why... after following this person, do I feel that the debt of gratitude I owe is not only not being repaid, but is getting bigger and bigger and harder to repay?

How can I ever repay this debt of gratitude, which is as heavy as a mountain, in this lifetime...?
