Alayna held the sa eting in all places where her shops were. And at this ti, her popularity was sothing that shouldn’t be doubted and she also received so invitations to the royal cities of kingdom Iwarim, kingdom Kezig where Belshoy is located, and kingdom Fricai where Athalia village was located.
Of course, she didn’t decline these invitations but decided to go when she was done. She couldn’t possibly leave everything to go and appease so royal people.
On the third day, Alayna was once again in the Phoenix Garden which was filled with only females, old and young had co to attend and the sight of this made her smile brightly.
To be honest, she didn’t really mind if people use her ideas to better their lives. So so many people used her stokvel program idea in their own villages, towns, cities, countries, and continents.
So even started cooperatives and didn’t register with her which was also good. As long as people are helped then everything was okay for her.
This ti, the eting was starting a bit early so she arrived early as well.
"Thank you, ladies, for coming on such notice, it is my greatest pleasure to see all of you here. Many of you left your jobs and commitnts to be here, I am very honored!"
[Hahaha, we are the ones that are honored.]
[Yes, we can’t miss such a great opportunity to learn and benefit.]

"Okay, last ti so of you weren’t here but I guess that the ones that attended already told you what we talked about. I will just do a recap about it."
Alayna then summarized the whole topic in less than twenty minutes before tackling that day’s issue.
"We are all ladies today, so there is no need to feel shy. We will talk about everything today and I hope that you will all participate. So, my idea of a won’s club is more related to business. I want a club that will focus on empowering ladies and making them giants in society."
"This may be very hard but I believe that with ti, we will be able to achieve sothing. So, the club can have as many mbers as possible, and to make things easier, I will split the club into two more branches, one for the won and one for the young girls."
"There are so issues that little girls shouldn’t know of despite being a woman. I don’t want to see my girl child getting married early but want to see her doing sothing for herself. Go to school, get a job, open a business and earn her own money."
"I don’t want to see a girl child being raised to be a baby-making machine and a ans of getting dowry for the family. Just like a male child, a girl child also has value and I want you especially older ladies to know that and bear that in mind."
"So little girls, I will have sothing for you. So, there will be no need to fear your mothers or female relatives if you ever join a club in the future."
"So, I will start with the mature or married ladies first, my suggestion for your group will be to help each other in business, whether it’s ideas, finances, and so on. People are dying and it is sothing that we can’t control, so you can also start your own burial society where each individual will pay a certain amount every month. If soone from your group dies or a family mber gets in trouble, that money will be sent there."
"You can also do a dical society as well, that focuses on health and dical bills. Another important issue is regarding to your houses, as mothers, wives, and won, you all need a good house, a good kitchen, and so on. What better way to achieve your dream than to contribute and help each other?"
"If you notice, it’s like using the stokvel program on a higher level. You don’t need to suffer by yourself but let your extended family help you to lessen your worries and troubles."
"You can also ......…"
Alayna spent over an hour just talking about the won only before she went on the girls.
"Just because you are young and not married, doesn’t an that you should be relaxed. You may not know but I am nearly forty-five years old this year and I have never been married. In this lifeti of mine, I never even dated anyone, not that I can’t do it but I sohow put myself first."
"Unless I achieve my dreams, I won’t date or get married, love is a beautiful thing and we should all cherish it. I am not encouraging you to beco like but I am just showing you sothing using my life as an example."
"Okay, so I was saying that as girls you need a goal. You can’t expect to get married without owning even a single quilt in your na. This is how your in-laws will start looking down on you."
"So, for little girls, you can also start businesses, cooperate and earn sothing together. You can talk about anything, whether it’s boys, marriage, or just life."
"You ......."
Alayna took her ti talking with the girls as she was really passionate about them. It was already too late to change the older ladies but for the little girls, there was still a chance that she may convert one or two.
She didn’t forget to use rita and Olinda as huge examples, she just hoped that everyone understood her.
At the end of it, the Q&A session started, and like always she answered every one in detail.
The eting lasted for five hours and everyone left happy. Alayna didn’t have ti to relax, so she visited other places as well and held the sa eting.
On the seventh day, Alayna was having a eting with the n. Looking at the many n that attended, Alayna felt honored.
"Thank you everyone for coming and leaving your commitnts and jobs to co and listen to . It is not every day that n sit down to listen to a woman but I am glad that you are all here and don’t look down on ."
"So, we will be talking about clubs and the Q&A session will comnce when I am done explaining. So ......…"
Alayna began to describe in detail about her plans regarding the n’s clubs. After an hour or so, the Q&A session began and Alayna was once again on the hot seat answering the questions being thrown at her.
By the ti she was done, she gladly shook hands with so of the n that ca to attend the eting.
When she was done, she went to the shop where she t with Elena and the two had another eting that lasted for a while.
In the following days, Alayna was at the Dark Forest branch busy helping those that wanted to register for different clubs. After thinking about it, she decided to split the clubs into several groups but all of them will be under one umbrella.
For example, under one club, there will be groups that will deal with mainly burial society, dical society, and loan lending which mainly go hand in hand with stokvel and business groups.
Each group will have one hundred mbers and an individual can join as many groups as possible. There will be a club fee to be paid every month and this money will go towards the projects of the group and if there is no project, the money will be then returned to the people in the form of the stokvel program until everyone gets their money back.
So, it may take a year for so to get their money if nothing happens to them in cases like this. Other groups were available and people can also split the current groups into more branches again depending on what they wanted.
After showing Elena and the others the ropes, she then left for other branches to do the sa thing again. It was another busy month for her but all the hard work was worth it.
This new project was even featured in every magazine and it spread over three continents. In the future she wanted the whole Niafell to experience this and it was just a matter of ti.
Having too much on the plate wasn’t a good thing, one will end up choking and there were many cases of people dying after choking and she didn’t want to be one of those.
One day when she was in Athalia village seeing people going in and out of the bank, she couldn’t help but imagine what it will be like if she opens her own bank in the Dark Forest.
The forest was her own property and even if she builds a bank, she doubted if the royal family will do anything to her. While thinking of this, she couldn’t help but recall sothing she had forgotten because of her busy issue.
’I guess it’s ti to visit Lagrasse, maybe I may gain a few things from the royal family!’
