Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 46: Wage Arrears

Today, the family closed the stall early, and the remaining sweet soup was taken back and sold by Qin Haodong and his brother.

I have to rush back to take over Aunt Wu's shift, because Aunt Wu's home is half an hour away from Songjia Village. She doesn't take a car and walks back every day, so I have to go back early.

When Song Laoer's family arrived, Aunt Wu smiled like a flower. She found that these girls relied on their good business and never shouted when they were selling, so sometimes they could not sell all the goods.

She is different. This afternoon, she just shouted and sold out all the sugar water. She easily earned the income that she would normally earn in several days.

She wished she had more opportunities like this. She had met Song Ersao last time, and this time she took advantage of her enthusiasm to chat with her.

"Sister, you are so blessed. The head of the Gu family is hardworking, and the daughters are well-behaved. I see your third mother setting up a stall here every day, and she is so smart." Mrs. Song couldn't stop smiling.

Si Niang and her two daughters really liked the chicks they bought, and they stayed beside the chicken coop, whispering to each other. From time to time, they would take a chick out to look at it carefully and touch the short fur on its body. Song Sanniang pricked up her ears to listen and couldn't help laughing to herself.

The two of them were naming the chicks one by one. Could anyone tell them how to identify the chicks when they were all the same? Except for two or three that were yellow, the rest were all yellow.

Si Niang: "Let's give them names. I see other people's chickens have names too. In the past, Aunt Wang's chicken next door was called Gu Gu, and Aunt Cuihua's chicken was also called Gu Gu. We can't give them the same names as them."

Si Niang, is it possible that because the chicken is clucking, we just call it "clucking" to save trouble?

Si Niang had no idea what Song San Niang was thinking. She took out a chicken and observed it carefully, then said to Wu Niang excitedly,

"This chicken is called Baldy. Look, there's a vacant space on its head." Wu Niang nodded vigorously in agreement.

Then Si Niang put the bald dog back, caught another one and observed it carefully, "This one is called a mangy dog."

This made everyone laugh.

Song Lao Er asked with a smile, "This is obviously a chicken, why do you call it a scabby dog?"

Si Niang held up the chicken very seriously. "Look, it's yellow and brown. Doesn't it look like a mangy dog?"

Although Song Lao Er felt that it was not the case, he did not want to discourage her, so he nodded and said, "Fourth Lady is right."

In the end, all ten chickens had their own names, such as Golden Hair, Yellow Hair, Green Bean Eyes, and Harlequin Cat. The most outrageous one was named Helmet, hahahaha.

When asked why, Si Niang said that the chicken had a brown pattern growing on its head, and the pattern looked like a wooden soldier's helmet in a toy store, so she called it a helmet.

Song Sanniang only recognized the helmet and the mangy dog. She was shocked to realize that she had played with two little brats for so long and it seemed like her IQ was off the charts.

Aunt Wu took her wages and happily went back with her things.

Song Lao Er thought that since his family had all gone to the city, he might as well go and see his elder brother. He had time anyway.

So he packed up his belongings and went to find Song Dazhi, who sent his family to the iron shop.

He was going to leave originally, but Song Zuen was on holiday due to the busy farming season and didn't need to wait for him, so Song Lao Er asked him to have dinner together.

When the family arrived at Gao's Iron Shop, they saw Boss Song sitting on the stone steps in front of the shop, looking very worried.

Song Dazhi stopped at the door. When Song Laoda saw that it was his younger brother's family, he stood up and greeted them in surprise.

"Second brother, why are you all here?"

"Bring the four ladies here for a walk. Brother, what's wrong with you? I saw you looked listless just now."

Boss Song seemed to have found a savior when he heard this.

"You came just in time. I was thinking of going home to see you tomorrow. Dalang and Erlang will be killed next year. I want to get back the money I left with my father-in-law. From now on, I won't leave any money with him every month. I will take it all. My father-in-law said I was wrong and it's not true. You come to testify for me. You know about this."

Song Laoer's heart sank. He actually came right. However, with a daughter like his eldest sister-in-law, it was not surprising for his father to do this. He should think about how to get the money back.

Song Lao Er followed Song Lao Da into the store, and the atmosphere in the store suddenly became tense. When they saw Song Lao Da and his two brothers come in, Gao the blacksmith, Gao Dajiu, and Gao Erjiu all had stern faces.

Song Laoer still greeted everyone politely, but no one paid attention to him and he didn't care.

Boss Song said to the black-faced Gao Tiejiang, "Dad, my second brother happened to be here today. He knows that you are keeping my money for me, and he can testify for me."

Uncle Gao snorted coldly, "He is your brother. You brothers are united and in collusion, so you will definitely have the final say."

Uncle Gao also sneered and said, "You two brothers don't think that our family will give you dozens of taels just because you said something casually, do you?"

Gao the blacksmith shouted angrily, "You two shut up! This is your brother-in-law. Be polite."

Then he smiled and said to the two brothers Song Lao Da, "I know that Da Lang and the others are going to end up in trouble. Maybe you, my son-in-law, are short of money.

I heard that you, the second brother, can make a lot of money every day by selling sugar water in the market. Can you lend some to your eldest brother?

Don't worry, Dalang and the other two are my own grandchildren, I will also provide them with some financial support, I will give them five taels to buy them pens, ink, paper and inkstone."

He took a deep puff of the pipe in his hand and said, "Son-in-law, I know you are anxious, but you can't do anything crooked just because you are anxious.

You should think about this. If this matter turns out to be a mess and gets out, it will be a loss of face for Dalang and Erlang, and it will also affect their future. "

Uncle Gao and Uncle Gao II looked at each other and laughed. It was really smart. With this move of father, he had controlled my brother-in-law's family. Let's see how they would make trouble.

Song Ersao and Song Sanniang saw a room full of men, so they did not go in and waited outside the door.

Hearing the shameless remarks from the father and his two sons, they were all outraged. Boss Song was so angry that he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Song Sanniang stepped in and greeted everyone in the room one by one. In addition to the four people led by Song Lao Da, there were also the other three disciples of Gao the blacksmith. Song Sanniang smiled and nodded at them.

She said to Gao Tiejiang and the other two, "If my words offended the elders, I'd like to ask for your forgiveness."

Then she said to Gao Tiejiang, "You just said that Dalang and Erlang are ashamed. What are Dalang and Erlang ashamed of? Did they do something wrong? Or did my uncle do something wrong? Or did my father do something wrong?"

"Isn't it you, my dear grandfather, who owes money and doesn't pay it back? Have you ever thought about my aunt's face by doing this? Have you ever thought about my elder brother and second brother calling you grandfather?"

She then turned to the two uncles Gao and said, "My other two uncles, you said that my eldest uncle and my father were in collusion, why didn't you two collude?"

Gao Tiejiang and the other two were speechless after hearing Song Sanniang's conversation.

Uncle Gao had the hottest temper. Hearing this, he angrily said, "What does it have to do with a yellow-haired girl like you? Who knows if your family is crazy because of poverty and want to blackmail us?"

Song Sanniang was not afraid of him. "Yes, some people are just crazy because of poverty. They are so wicked that they would even steal the money of their own nephew for the imperial examination."

Uncle Gao slapped his chair and stood up, "You little yellow-haired girl, get out of here." He walked forward and tried to drive Song Sanniang out.

The eldest brother of Song grabbed Song Sanniang by the shoulder, and the second brother of Song protected Song Sanniang behind him.

Song Ersao also came in and protected her. The fourth and fifth mothers were eager to follow in, but were stopped by Song Dazhi. They stood at the door with them and watched what was going on inside.

Song Sanniang shouted at Song Dazhi outside the door, "Uncle Dazhi, please find me some street patrol officers. If they fail to pay my wages, I should report them to the authorities."

Song Dazhi nodded and told the four women to stay at the door and not run around. Then he shouted to Song Ersao, "Four women, watch out, don't let them run in."

When they heard the news of reporting to the police, Gao the blacksmith and the other two became anxious. They had not expected that Sanniang would be so reckless.

Yesterday, Boss Song asked for money, and they all agreed to give him some money to deal with it first.

If he makes a fuss, he can go to Songjia Village to find my younger sister and ask her to comfort him. Then he can say that he has given the money to my younger sister. My younger sister is simple-minded and she can just coax her into saying that the money will be kept for her privately and not let Boss Song take it. In this way, both sides will solve the problem.

Song Sanniang's move directly disrupted their plans by cutting off the source of the problem.

Blacksmith Gao asked the other three apprentices to close the door, and Song Sanniang immediately pulled Song Ersao and rushed out the door.
