Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

He Shaoang cried and said, "Father, Mother, I was wrong. I will study hard in the future and will not let you and me be looked down upon by others."

He Pingdu touched his head and said, "Shaonang, Dad and Mom didn't restrict you before because they wanted you to grow up happily.

But you are now at the age where you should be educated. Your parents don't want you to become an illiterate person who will be useless after leaving the He Mansion and losing the name of the He family.

"What my uncle said was a bit harsh, but don't blame him. He hopes for your well-being just like your parents do, don't you know?"

He Shaoang nodded with sobs. Song Sanniang wiped away his tears and taught him gently, "You and your sister are both good children of your parents. We are not worried about your sister.

But we are worried about you. We are worried that if you don't study hard now, you won't be able to learn skills in the future. What if you suffer in the future? We can't always be with you. Do you understand me?

And sister, sister is too worried about you, that’s why she keeps an eye on you every day. Look who your sister usually pays attention to? Does she only care about you? "

He Shaoang burst into tears again. He felt that he was too ignorant before. His parents and sister all did it for his own good, so he decided to change.

He Pingdu and Song Sanniang exchanged glances. It seemed that this method worked for their son.

When He Shaoang had grown up and became the outstanding young man everyone expected him to be,

He thought back to the day when he reached the turning point in his life and became such a person, and he couldn't help but admire his parents' wisdom.

Extra: Qin Haodong

Qin Haodong and his wife had a sweet time after marriage, but after the wedding leave ended, he started to get busy.

He spent very little time at home each month, always running around. At first, his wife could sympathize with him and felt sorry for him for being so busy and tired.

But gradually she felt that life was becoming a bit difficult. She would come back for just one or two days and then leave again. She couldn't find anyone at home when she had any problems, and she was too embarrassed to trouble others. Gradually, a gap arose between the couple.

It was not until Qin Yuanyuan discovered something was wrong between the two that she asked his wife what the problem was. His wife cried and complained about the problem that the couple were rarely together. Qin Yuanyuan could only comfort her first and then talk to Qin Haodong.

Qin Haodong felt distressed when he knew the reason why his wife was in a bad mood, but he couldn't stop. He promised to repay the Song family, so he had to protect the family business for the Song family and Jixiang.

When Qin Haodong was a child, he felt that he was the happiest child in the world. His parents were loving and cared for him. He had a younger sister and later a younger brother.

Every day after waking up, he would have breakfast at the breakfast shop at home and then carry his schoolbag to attend the private school.

When he got home from school, his parents had already prepared meals and were waiting for his younger siblings to eat together. After dinner, he taught them to study.

My younger brother was still young and didn't understand anything, but he was also babbling words that no one understood.

While listening to him teaching how to read, the younger sister wiped the saliva from her brother's mouth and occasionally gave him some water to drink.

Later, my brothers and sisters grew up gradually, and my mother became pregnant again. At that time, everyone hoped that this time my mother would give birth to a sister.

It was almost time for him to take the imperial examination. He thought that if he passed, he would make his family happy and allow them to live a better life in the future.

But all the good things ended on the day my mother gave birth, and she passed away.

No one will ever call out, "Dong Ge'er, wake up. What do you want for breakfast today? Mom will make it for you."

"Dong'er, are you tired from going to school? Mommy bought you some candied haws."

"Dong'er, you should give your brother a bath today. Mommy will sew your clothes for you. There are holes at your elbows."

The last words his mother said to him were, "Dong Ge'er, mother is gone now. You take good care of your sister and brother, and study hard for the imperial examinations. Mother is waiting for you to announce the good news."

He promised his mother, but he broke his promise. He failed the imperial examination and lost his sister.

He thought it would be ok to just beg like this, and die on the street one day, but his brother had to make arrangements before he died.

That day was like any other day. He and his brother were starving, waiting for some kindhearted person to give them some steamed buns or a copper coin or two.

His brother was in a very bad state that day. He was very panicked. He thought he would die if something happened to his brother.

Then he heard a very nice girl's voice. She gave him and his brother two bowls of sweet soup that they had never tasted before.

My brother looked much better after drinking the sweet soup, and she also gave me six cents. That was not the most money I had ever received. Someone had given me and my brother ten cents before.

But Qin Haodong remembered the six cents and the two bowls of sugar water for his whole life. He would also never forget the taste of the sugar water, which was really sweet, just like the twists and turns of his life later on.

She and Uncle Song hired himself and his brother to work. They had money, could eat well, and could sleep well. They had hope in life, so he wanted to find his sister.

He and his brother became members of the Song family. It seemed as if he and his brother had a family again. Uncle Song and Aunt Song cared for them like their parents.

The three Jixiang sisters also treated them as family members. He and his brother no longer looked like orphans.

They can sit together as a family and have a warm reunion dinner during festivals. Every meal is delicious and will be remembered for a lifetime.

Until the day he finally found his sister, he knew that he would never be able to repay the debt he owed to the Song family in this lifetime.

Everyone advised him to continue studying for the imperial examination, but he refused. He also knew that he could become a better supporter of the Song family only if he passed the imperial examination.

But he didn't know when he would be able to reach the top. There were thousands of people competing on the road to the imperial examination, and he was too weak. He didn't have that much time. He only knew that the Song family needed him, and it was not enough for the Song family to rely solely on Jixiang and Uncle Song.

He was happy when he became a member of the Song family and could do things for the Song family.

Some people would gossip, thinking that there was something going on between him and Jixiang, and that he wanted to be the son-in-law of the Song family.

They don't understand that there are things in this world that are more precious than love.

He was afraid that as his life got better and better, he would forget everything the Song family had done to the three siblings.

He was afraid that he would become an ungrateful person, so he could only work harder to deepen the bond between himself and the Song family so that he would not forget.

Later, on the day when his younger brother fulfilled his wish and passed the imperial examination, he could finally tell his parents at their graves,

They are living a good life. Although he did not fulfill his mother's instructions, his younger brothers and sisters are doing well, and this is the best.
