Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Miss He Er has always disliked Miss He Da. She thinks that He Jun has brothers and sisters, but no half-brothers or half-sisters. If she bullies her half-sisters, He Jun will help her half-sisters.

So she also wants what Miss He has, and she likes to snatch Miss He's things.

What she hated most was He Jun's hypocritical face of being righteous, generous and not caring about her.

When she learned that Miss He met a village girl today, she became curious, so she immediately asked someone to guard her and intercept her when she came out.

Miss He leaned lazily on the bed, looked at Song Sanniang with disdain, and then asked, "What does He Jun want to see you for?"

Song Sanniang knew from the tone that she had encountered the bloody quarrel between young ladies in the novel. She changed her frank attitude with Miss He and replied cautiously, "Miss He wanted me to be her cook, but I refused her."

Miss He Er became interested as soon as she heard it. "Oh, why did you reject her? What kind of dishes can you make?"

"I am just a country girl. I am afraid that I might mess things up if I go to your house. So I dare not agree to it, Miss. I can't cook any dishes. I can only make some sweet soup."

"So you made the sweet soup she sent to me before. You refused it well. So, I will give you double the price she gave you to let you enter the mansion."

Miss He Er thought that if the village girl rejected He Jun and agreed to her, He Jun would lose face in the future. She felt very happy. Who knew that the village girl's voice of rejection came to her ears.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss. I am just a country girl and I dare not come to the He Mansion to work."

She paused and said hesitantly, "How can someone like me cook for the Second Miss? I'm afraid of wasting good food."

After saying this, Song Sanniang nervously grabbed the hem of her rough linen dress with both hands.

When Miss He Er heard this, she looked at Song Sanniang's tanned skin and her obviously washed white clothes, and waved her hand in disinterest, "You're right, go now."

After hearing what was said, Song Sanniang said to her, "Thank you, Second Miss." Then she slipped away quickly.

After she left, Xinghua started to fan the flames, "Second Miss, don't be fooled by her. If she didn't have any ability, why would the eldest lady specially invite her into the mansion?"

Xinghua had tasted the sweet soup made by Song Sanniang before. Maybe for the young ladies, it was just a new food, but Xinghua wanted to learn the recipe of Song Sanniang's sweet soup.

She wanted to open a shop to sell goods, so that she could have more money for her dowry when she got married. But now that Song Sanniang had gotten away with it, how could she be willing to accept it?

"This country girl actually fooled me!" Miss He Er flew into a rage upon hearing this and threw the teacup on the table next to her to the ground.

"Call her back to me immediately."

Xinghua hurried forward to pat her shoulder and comfort her: "Miss, why let her dirty your eyes, I have inquired, her family sells sugar water in the East Market every day, we let the servants in the mansion go to ruin her business every day, so that we can teach her a lesson, and then she will come to be your cook obediently."

Upon hearing this, Miss He Er's anger turned into joy: "Xinghua, your idea is good. I will leave this matter to you." This was exactly what Xinghua wanted, and she moved her hands more diligently.

When Song Sanniang left the He Mansion, Song Laoer was already waiting outside the He Mansion. Song Laoer asked, "What does the young lady want to see you for?"

"She wanted me to work as a cook in the He Mansion, but I refused because I was afraid that I would get into trouble."

Song Lao Er was shocked when he heard this. "You are right. We cannot be slaves. If they beat you to death, you will not be punished."

Song Sanniang was a little touched. He was not thinking about the trouble he had brought to his family, but was afraid that her life would be in danger.

"Well, let's just set up the stall outside. Dad, have you sold out all the sweet soup today? How come you came here so quickly?" Song Sanniang wondered.

"No, I thought you were almost out, so I came back to pick you up. I asked the guy next door to help look after the stall." Song Lao Er laughed.

So the father and daughter went back to the market to continue selling sugar water.

The next day, just as Song Laoer went to the West Market and Song Sanniang had set up her stall, two boys who looked like servants came over.

Song Sanniang was preparing sweet soup for Qin Haodong and his brother, so she stopped and greeted them.

"Hello, what kind of dessert would you like?" Song Sanniang greeted with a smile on her face.

The two men were both about seventeen or eighteen years old. One of them was skinny and a little short, only about 1.6 meters tall, and had a few pimples on his face.

One of them was fat and seemed to have good food. He was about 1.7 meters tall, but he had a mean look on his face and a shifty look in his eyes.

The fat one stared at Song Sanniang with his small eyes as big as green beans, and barked, "Hey, hey, I want to buy the young lady's tofu." The thin one beside him laughed obscenely when he heard it.

Song Sanniang knew that the two people were not good when they saw this. She thought to herself, could it be that they saw that our business was good and they came to pick a fight? Then she thought it made no sense. There didn't seem to be much competition in her business. She only rejected the two young ladies of the He family recently.

Qin Haodong stepped forward and blocked Song Sanniang behind him, and called to the two men, "Brothers, we sell sugar water, not tofu. If you want tofu, go over there." As he said that, he pointed in the direction of the tofu stall in the East Market.

The fat man couldn't see Song Sanniang, his eyes widened with anger, and he spat, "Who wants to talk to a little jerk like you? Get out of the way."

Before Qin Haodong could do anything, Song Sanniang quickly stepped out from behind Qin Haodong and ran away from the stall next to him. She was so fast that no one had time to react.

The two men saw Song Sanniang running and wanted to chase after her, but were stopped by Qin Haodong. He smiled and said to them, "Brothers, what are you doing? Don't you want something? Come on, come and take a look."

The fat one is He Dafu, the son of Miss He's wet nurse, and the thin one is Lan San, his friend who usually hangs out with him.

His original name was Hu Can, and he was the third child in the family. However, because he usually cheated and did evil things with a group of bad friends, the neighbors called him "Lan San".

Even though He Dafu was only the son of a wet nurse, he was the son of the wet nurse of the legitimate daughter of the He family. Even in the He family, where rules were strictly enforced, the maids and servants had to give him some respect, not to mention the domineering nature of the second daughter of the He family.

The He family's dowager lady is no longer in charge of affairs, and the eldest lady is far away in the imperial capital, so the second lady is in charge of the family.

The real master of the mansion would not go against an insignificant servant, and He Dafu would not go against the real master.

This resulted in him having some face in the He Mansion, and he was flattered outside the He Mansion.

When Xinghua came to him to vent her anger on behalf of the Second Miss, he naturally patted his chest and promised to do it, wishing that the Second Miss would look at him with new eyes.

When he saw Sanniang running away, he wished he could grow wings and chase after her, but when Qin Haodong stopped him, he became furious.

He shook off Qin Haodong's hand that was holding his clothes, pushed Qin Haodong's chest with his right hand, and said viciously, "You kid want to ruin my good thing?"

Qin Haonan was so scared when he saw this that he burst into tears. He rushed over and hugged He Dafu's legs, "Don't bully my brother."

He Dafu was about to kick Qin Haonan away when he suddenly saw Song Sanniang running back. He couldn't help but laugh and said to Qin Haodong, "You are so lucky. It seems that the young lady couldn't bear to leave me and came back to find me again."

He adjusted his hair and clothes and was about to turn around and say something to Song Sanniang when he suddenly saw a bearded officer following behind Song Sanniang. His face instantly darkened.

The officer was the one who bought sweet soup from Song Sanniang and teased him about not having a wife. When Song Sanniang saw that the man wanted to cause trouble, she hurried to find the officer, and he followed her.

Shao Wu had just seen what He Dafu did to Qin Haodong and his brother. He was 1.8 meters tall and had a strong build. He looked down at He Dafu and asked in a deep voice, "How dare you cause trouble here?"

Normally, He Dafu would be fine as long as he mentioned the name of the He family when causing trouble. But this time, Shao Wu's momentum was too strong, and it frightened him.

In the past, he would have said arrogantly, "What's wrong with making trouble? I am from the He family, and my mother is the wet nurse of the second young lady of the He family. What dare you do to me?"

But now he could only panic and say, "No, no, we are just here to buy sugar water."

Shao Wu stared at him with a half-smile, "Oh, you want to buy some sugar water? Then buy it for me and let me see."

He Dafu had no choice but to take out his silver bag, buy two bowls of sugar water, and leave in shame with Lan San.

Song Sanniang gave Qin Haodong a look, and Qin Haodong immediately followed them quietly.
