Because the things that Alayna did before change everyone’s lives, they were so eager to attend this seminar even if it means stopping everything that they were doing.
So, on the way to their respective villages and homes, the chattering was quite loud and energetic.
"You know how I have been struggling with my carpentry business. With this loan thing, I can now do something about it."

"That’s not all, we can join hands as well. you make your furniture and I can help with the sales. Isn’t this what the cooperatives are for?"
"Yes, this is quite true. We utilize our own strengths for the common goal."
These buddies quickly solved a problem that had been plaguing them for a while and they weren’t the only ones.
"I think that if we do this, we can soar higher. We ladies have been abandoned and seen as the dirt of the earth because of what we resemble. If we combine our earnings and start a cooperative as one group, I believe that we can become rich and famous in the future."
"That is true, although we aren’t from rich families and lack a lot, we all know how to embroider. If we use that money to buy good quality clothing material and do what we do the best, I think that we can make it."
"That’s true, I know someone who can help us to sell the finished products. I have been selling some of my low-quality handkerchiefs to her for a while now."
"I also know a few. Let’s gather our resources and do this."
"Yeah, we should. Since we are already in several stokvel groups we can see how much money we can contribute towards this goal."
"Tomorrow let’s go and register our cooperative to bookkeeper Cain, it’s more legit that way."
The group of seven ladies who lives at the bottom of the mountain and just out of one village with their kids discussed merrily as they headed back to their house.
It was normal to find people who are abandoned for many reasons and instead of wallowing in grief these ladies were very strong and built their own stronghold and lived the way they wanted, although their means weren’t enough to make them be at the same level as others.
"To be honest, I don’t know where she gets these ideas but they are quite good. I think that we should use this idea when we get back."
"Are you not afraid that she will be mad when she hears this?"
"She isn’t like that, the more you spread things like this the happier she will be."
"Not many will be happy about this!"
"Even if they aren’t what can they do to her?"
"That’s true, she is quite formidable."
Everyone has got their own opinions and no one was there to stop them. At the staff house, the five employees were gathered in the sitting room and they were all talking about this wonderful thing their boss has been talking about.
"Guys, what do you think we should also do? I don’t want to be left out; this is a great chance to make money!"
"That’s true, if we let this chance go, we don’t know when another will come."
"What are you good at?" Elena asked as she looked at the others.
The others began to list their talents and to be honest, even if they wanted to do a cooperative it will not work.
"How about we do some tutoring?" Elena suggested as she looked at her colleagues.
All of them had been watching T.V so they knew much more than others and this was their own advantage.
"That can be done also. We can make money through this."
"We can also transcribe some books and make money too."
"Yeah, imagine if we copy all those movies that we saw and turn them into novels, won’t we be making money this way?"
The group began to give out ideas and Sonya who started living with others was also in the mix and also gave her input. As her family’s situation was improving her mother was worried about her moving to and from and just encouraged her to live with others.
She would go home on the day off and everything was doing quite well.
At Alayna’s home, she was looking at the kids who were practically looking at her with those doe eyes that make one melt and just give in without questioning a lot and she was about to go crazy.
"What nasty ideas did you come up with to look at me like this?" she shivered just looking at them.
Merita smiled coyly at her and moved in closer to Alayna, "mommmmmmm!"
"Just say what you want and don’t do that!" Alayna freaked out as she moved away.
These kids were actually scary when acting like this.
Neal laughed so hard seeing how Merita scared their mother away, "stop scaring her away."
"Fine then, I will talk."
"Umm, go ahead then," Alayna was quite curious about what these kids came up with this time.
"Umm, mom, I know that we talked about things that we can and can’t do. It’s quite boring to just cultivate and stay at home. So, we also want to help and learn some things from you," Merita seriously spoke and Alayna who thought the kids wanted to prank her was shocked by what she heard.
"So, what do you want to do?" she wanted to know too.
"Umm, if it’s possible, can we work at the shop too?" Merita asked in a low voice but Alayna still heard it.
"That’s child labor, I can’t possibly let you do that!" she shook her head just thinking about it.
"Mom, in this world, there is nothing as child labor. It’s us who want to work and give a helping hand. We don’t have to work for twelve hours."
"No, it doesn’t matter if you work for one hour or twelve. You can visit the supermarket but you can’t go and work there. If you are bored you can find something to do and think of ways to make money if that is what you are concerned with."
Seeing that Alayna refused, the kids looked at each other helplessly but they have already prepared for this day so if plan A gets rejected another one will come up.
"What if we start writing novels and upload them online. We won’t be doing any live streams or anything of that sort, so we won’t be exposed?" Merita struck again.
Before Alayna responded, Neal also opened his mouth and said, "we can also help the illiterate and help them to write their proposals."
Alayna was quite shocked by how well these kids thought and she was quite proud that these kids were hers.
"Are you sure that you can do it?" Alayna didn’t want to have her kids pressured because of any reason.
"Yes, we can do it. We can help with the business plans for now for just a small amount of money for the commoners. We can take this as doing a great deed."
"Yes, since mom helps a lot, we also want to help."
"Okay, I accept this. You can advertise your job then. Write up some notice and paste it on the notice board tomorrow. As for the novel thing, how will you do that?" Alayna was much curious about this one.
"Don’t worry about this, we will show you once everything is done."
Alayna wanted to smack their butts seeing how they wanted to remain mysterious but she didn’t mind waiting as well.
Since Alayna agreed to their requests, the kids left Alayna to her own devices and went to their room to put their plans in motion.
Alayna didn’t go to bed but watched a variety show first before retiring to her room. She cleaned up first before going online to do some shopping. She first withdrew some money she earned online thanks to her live streaming.
As she received the money, she then remembered that it has been a long time before she did one. In order to appease her fans, she posted several photos of the Phoenix Gardens and the supermarket before vanishing.
Alayna then checked the market and decided to buy the car she had been thinking about. As the staff dormitory was still being constructed, she had nothing to do much apart from selecting the new employees.
Alayna picked a black car this time and signed everything that was needed. The car was going to be delivered in the morning, which means that she will see it the next day.
After doing everything, she went to bed.
The next morning, she woke up and prepared breakfast. The family of three ate breakfast but the kids didn’t plan on going with her as they still wanted to finalize some of their things.
Alayna didn’t bother them and simply left the house. When she got outside, she smiled as she looked at the S.U.V that was delivered.
