Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

"Brother, I understand your desire to repay the Song family, but you should also consider the feelings of your sister-in-law and the children.

Jixiang and the others would not approve of your behavior. Qin Yuanyuan thought she should talk to her brother.

Qin Haodong was silent for a while before he said in a muffled voice, "I know I did something wrong.

But I really can’t spare the time. You know how big Jixiang’s business is.”

"Don't say that. Jixiang told me before that you don't have to work so hard now that you have a family. You can promote a few people to share your burden.

I told you to spend more time with your wife and children, why did you insist on taking on all the responsibilities?" Qin Yuanyuan questioned.

"I don't feel comfortable if other people come." Qin Haodong explained.

"Would you please stop torturing yourself! You just can't let it go!

What happened is over now. My brother and I are both fine now. You don’t need to remind yourself of it in this way!"

Qin Yuanyuan finally couldn't help shouting out what was in her heart, and along with the words came her tears.

Qin Haodong's expression was a bit complicated and he took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. "You are so grown up, and you are still crying."

Qin Yuanyuan cried loudly, saying intermittently, "I know you are punishing yourself for what happened in the past, but it has been so long, and we are living so well.

We also want you to live a good life. Look at you now. Sometimes your sister-in-law and children don't see you for a month.

How can we rest assured that you are away all year round like this?"

Qin Haodong's wife heard the quarrel between the brother and sister and pushed the door open.

"Stop arguing. There's nothing wrong with me and the child. It's normal for a man to travel around the world.

Moreover, others are willing to entrust such an important matter to my husband, which shows that they trust him.

It was all my fault before, and I won’t complain anymore, and that’s fine.”

Qin Haodong saw his wife coming in, so he stopped talking to his sister and turned to face his wife.

"Why are you here? Where are the children?"

"I coaxed the child to sleep. You two siblings, please stop arguing. The child and I are both fine.

My husband, you are here to do your job, we shouldn't hold you back. And there is also the matter of repaying a favor, you don't have to worry about us in the future.

I only have random thoughts when I have nothing to do, but I won’t do that anymore.”

Qin Haodong looked at his wife with guilt. She was clearly so aggrieved, but because of what he said,

He felt that he had indeed neglected her and the children, and he wondered if there was a way to have the best of both worlds.

If he didn't have to travel so much, he would like to take his wife and children with him every time he goes out.

"Brother, let's put it this way. He Shengtian has been able to take charge of his own business in recent years. I will ask Jixiang to transfer He Shengtian here.

This way, someone can help you share your responsibilities and you can spend more time at home."

Qin Haodong thought his sister's idea was a good one. He could take his wife and children with him when he went to a nearby place and treat it as a trip.

Soon, after Song Sanniang had a detailed discussion with Qin Yuanyuan, she transferred He Shengtian to share Qin Haodong's business.

She also began to gradually promote some people who were previously in training.

These people took turns to patrol each district, so Qin Haodong now had more time and energy to devote to his family.

On the annual Qingming Festival, Qin Haodong brought his younger brother, sister, wife and children to visit his parents' graves.

After clearing the weeds in front of the tomb, everyone placed the offerings on the tomb, burned incense and offered wine, and took turns kowtowing to the two men.

Qin Haodong was finally able to say to his parents: "Dad, Mom, everything is fine with us three siblings now. You can rest in peace now."

Extra: Qin Haoxi, Song Siniang

When Qin Haoxi saw Song Si Niang for the first time, she opened her big round eyes and said,

"Are you the brother my sister was talking about? But aren't you the same age as me?

You are shorter than me, why should I call you brother?"

Qin Haoxi felt embarrassed for the first time in his life. Fortunately, Aunt Song helped him out, but growing taller became his goal in the future.

Hearing that eating eggs can help grow taller, he ate eggs for a year, but it didn't seem to have much effect, and he remained a little kid.

He heard that eating meat can make you taller, so he would eat more meat every time he ate in the restaurant, but he didn't grow taller. He felt that his belly seemed to have grown bigger.

Although Si Niang never mentioned her shortness every time they met, he always felt that her innocent eyes were full of doubts.

"Why are you so short?"

Although she always called him brother with a giggle, he knew that she was calling him brother reluctantly from the way she always tiptoed around him intentionally or unintentionally.

Si Niang is a lively person. She can't sit still and always drags Wu Niang to do things that will make Aunt Song catch them and spank them.

Later, he and Qianqian, a brother and sister, joined their team. Although he was unwilling to go along with them, Si Niang was too troublesome and he had to compromise every time.

But Si Niang was very good to him. She would always give him some delicious food and share fun things with him. Of course, if he did something bad, she would be punished together with him.

Although he always felt nervous, he seemed no longer lonely and had gotten used to Si Niang's chattering.

He didn't know when he had grown taller. He found that he was looking at the top of Si Niang's head. There were two little round and cute little ones on it.

And her hair parting was always messy, unlike Wu Niang's, which was always neat and straight. But why did he feel that Si Niang's hair parting made him itchy and he wanted to help her comb it straight.

Later, when she pulled his hand to run, he found that his hand could already hold hers. It was small, soft and fluffy. Holding her hand was like nothing.

That day he blushed and shook off her hand. Si Niang was stunned and didn't understand what was wrong with him.

Later, Si Niang also found that this brother was no longer the brother she could hold hands with and run around with. He had grown taller, and she had to look up when she saw him.

He has an upright posture, a handsome face, eloquent speech, and walks in a graceful and unrestrained manner. He always smiles and pats his head.

But the two of them could no longer be as casual as before. She could no longer put the food she didn't like into his bowl, they could no longer eat a candied haws from the same person, and they could no longer sleep in the same bed leaning against each other when they were tired of playing.

Qin Haoxi watched Si Niang transform from a little girl who ran around and played wildly to a lady from a wealthy family who learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting from Master Hu and became dignified and graceful with a peaceful smile.

In fact, he knew that her heart was still as naughty as before. She wanted to hide in the dark and scare him like before, but unfortunately he saw her shadow at a glance.

He spoke first and scared her, and she threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly. So this is the warm and soft jade, he thought.

He should have pushed her away, but his hands involuntarily wrapped around her waist. When they separated, they both noticed that each other was different from when they were children, and both blushed.
