I made a fortune by marrying a sickly woman!

Song Jin came back with two people.

They look about seventeen or eighteen years old, and judging from their somewhat similar looks, they are a pair of brothers.

On the way back, Song Jin had already learned about the brothers' situation. When they were young, their parents had an accident, and their grandparents also died early. They grew up with the help of their uncles and other families, and later learned martial arts from a bodyguard in the town.

I have no family burden and I have some skills.

So let the old patriarch choose.

While you are still young, it’s a good time to go out and try your luck.

Shopkeeper Ao looked at them secretly and asked tentatively, "Are you children from Songjiazhuang?"

"Exactly. My name is Song Xiaodong."

Song Xiaodong stepped forward and introduced himself. "I know you. You are the owner of Shunan Commercial Bank. You came to Songjiazhuang last month."

Shopkeeper Ao's mouth twitched slightly.

If you can not mention this matter, I will find you more pleasing to the eye. Because the memory of going to Songjiazhuang is not very pleasant.

Pick white lotus in seven months.

In August, huanghuali trees mature.

Last month, Shopkeeper Ao went to Songjiazhuang to purchase white lotus, but was told that it had already been bought by someone else. When he wanted to reserve huanghuali for August, he was told that someone had already placed an order.

They have already paid a deposit.

This meant that he could only watch again.

Shopkeeper Ao patted Song Xiaodong on the shoulder, his eyes glittering with shrewdness, "If you want to follow Young Master Song, then we will be on our own in the future. I heard that every household in your village will be given some pears. Do you have any left?"

"Yes, how much do you want?"

Song Xiaodong was about to say something.

Suddenly remembering that the old patriarch had told them to listen to Song Jin in the future, he turned and looked at Song Jin, "Young patriarch, um, hey, he asked me to buy Huanghuali."

"If you want to sell it, sell it to him. He doesn't dare to cheat his own people."

Song Jin arrived at the right time.

It is the time when Huanghuali is ripe.

Just picked the first crop.

Just at this moment, Lao Huo and Qin Ba unloaded a basket of huanghuali wood from the carriage.

When Shopkeeper Ao saw it, his eyes lit up.

The old patriarch had people carry these pears onto the carriage.

The bright yellow pears look tempting at first glance.

Song Jin picked one up, wiped it with his hand, and took a bite. "It is indeed worthy of being a famous Huanghuali, juicy, sweet, and fragrant."

There is a reason why Jianning Huanghuali is famous all over the world.

Because it’s really delicious.

Shopkeeper Ao pulled Xiaodong aside and whispered. The more they talked, the happier his face became.

Wait for Manager Ao to leave in a hurry.

Song Jin was sitting on a chair in the hall eating a pear.

Qin Qi and Qin Ba were also standing by, each holding a pear and chewing it, and Song Xiaocheng also had one in his hand.

Song Xiaodong said, "Young Patriarch, I have to go back to the village tomorrow morning. Shopkeeper Ao said he wanted to buy some pears, which will just solve the problem in the village."

"what happened?"

Song Jin also noticed something was going on here.

The white lotus and huanghuali wood in Songjiazhuang have always been in short supply. If they suddenly become unsalable, it is most likely that someone is causing trouble.

Song Xiaodong knew that Song Jin was one of his own.

The old patriarch's family said that she was the young patriarch of the family, so she would certainly not be trying to trick them.

At this time, Song Xiaodong said angrily, "The merchant who paid the deposit suddenly said that he didn't want to buy it and didn't want the deposit. We can't force them to buy it? The clan leader contacted other merchants. Guess what happened?"

Everyone in the hall was attracted.

Song Jin looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

Song Xiaodong was angry again and said, "It was the steward of the second branch of the Liu family who did this. He told all the merchants in the city not to buy our pears. He said that if we didn't sell them to him at a low price, the pears would rot on the mountain."

If there had been support from family members in the past.

They don't have to worry, but something happened to their family.

Song Jin was surprised, "The clan leader didn't mention this to me."

"The clan leader probably doesn't want to trouble you." Song Xiaodong said, touching the back of his head.

Song Jin asked: "What will you do if no one buys here?"

"The clan leader is contacting clan members in several neighboring states to ask if they want it. If the journey is too far, it won't work because the loss on the way will be too great."

The picked huanghuali wood can only be kept for more than ten days.

In fact, it can also be shipped to other places for sale.

The problem is that if the Liu family is determined to cause trouble, the pears may not be able to be shipped out.

Song Jin asked curiously, "Does the Liu family think highly of Songjiazhuang? I think the Liu family also has an opera house. Also, the money donated by the Liu family every year is enough to cover the entire Songjiazhuang. Is it necessary to make it so ugly and ruin the family's reputation?"

"Well, I don't know."

Song Xiaodong was also confused.

Qin Bada's eyes lit up, "This is definitely not the Liu family's idea. It's probably someone who is greedy and wants to make money by using the Liu family's name."

"I think so too."

Songjiazhuang has existed for decades, not just one or two years. If the Liu family had taken a fancy to it, they would have made a move long ago. Why wait until this year? Besides, the Liu family has several opera houses, which are no smaller than the hilltops of Songjiazhuang.

Song Jin added, "This matter is easy to resolve. Let the clan leader find a way to tell the head of the Liu family what the second branch manager did. Judging from the annual donations made by the Liu family, they should be concerned about their reputation. Let the clan leader do it in a covert way and don't make a big fuss, so as not to embarrass the head of the Liu family."

Song Xiaodong suddenly realized.

He immediately showed surprise.

"Young Patriarch, I want to go back now." Song Xiaodong wanted to go back and talk to the old patriarch.

Song Jin looked at the dark night outside and said, "It won't take a while. Let's go back tomorrow morning. Xiao Ba, take them downstairs to rest."

"Yes."

Qin Ba threw away the fruit core in his hand.

He bent down, grabbed one from the basket in each hand, put it in his arms and took it away.

Qin Qi's eyelids twitched.

Song Jin laughed and said, "Just leave a few for me, and share the rest."

Qin Ba just stepped out of the door.

Hearing this, the legs slowly retracted, "Xiaodong and Xiaocheng, do you want to wait until the pears are divided before going down to rest?"

The two brothers nodded repeatedly.

The two of them were able to get a few, so of course they were happy.

Every year the good pears are picked and sold, and the remaining crooked melons and cracked dates are eaten.

After Song Jin left, the others had no more scruples.

Several more days passed.

Song Jin had basically figured out the situation in Jianzhou, but there was no news from Shopkeeper Ao. When asked, he always said that he was investigating.

"Is there really no news from Shopkeeper Ao?"

Song Jin sat in the hall, holding a cup of tea in his hand, thinking about a solution.

Qin Ba said sternly, "Old Huo also disliked the speed of Shopkeeper Ao and the others. When he learned that you were not going out today, he went to help you in person."

"I've asked around in Jianning, and they all say there's no such person as Gan Jiabao." Qin Qi also said.

Song Jin was silent again.

In this case, either he is not a boatman from Jianning, or Gan Jiabao's name is fake, or the name is real but the other party uses a fake name when traveling outside.

Song Jin suddenly came up with an idea.

She called Qin Ba over and whispered a few instructions to him.

Qin Ba's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this, and he nodded quickly and left.
