Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Because she was worried about what Widow Qin might do when she returned, and Song Sanniang had some thoughts in her mind, so she urged everyone to rush to Qin's house.

When he arrived at the Qin family, Qin Fu was holding the widow Qin and crying like a baby. The widow Qin didn't have time to tell him that the mother and son were moving away.

"Mother, those little bastards brought the officer to our house and said they wanted to drive us away. The officer even tried to chop me with a knife.

Woohoo, so scared.

Mom, where have you been all day? I'm so hungry. I haven't eaten yet. Woo woo."

Widow Qin could only pat his back randomly to comfort him. "Good boy Fu'er, stop crying. We have to pack up and move out quickly, otherwise we won't be able to find a place to stay if it's too late."

Qin Fu opened his green eyes that still had tears in them, "Mom, do we really have to move away?"

Widow Qin nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, hurry up and pack your clothes, and I will pack my things too. When we find an inn to stay in, I will take you to eat chicken legs."

When he heard that there were chicken legs to eat, Qin Fu immediately nodded and turned back to pack up.

Widow Qin ignored the people who came in and hurried into the room, putting all the valuable gold and silver jewelry into the dressing box.

She opened the closet again and took out all the clothes.

Those things that were a bit old were thrown directly on the bed and discarded. One can imagine what a luxurious life she lived in the past.

Song Sanniang signaled to Qin Haodong, "She must know the whereabouts of your sister. Go ask her."

Qin Haodong rushed into the room immediately after hearing this. Widow Qin was startled, wondering what he was going to do.

Qin Haodong glared at her fiercely. "Where did you sell my sister to?"

Widow Qin was a little flustered when she heard this. She had completely forgotten about this matter. She didn't know where the trafficker had sold her to. She could only shake her head and said, "I don't know."

Qin Haodong threw the clothes on the bed to the ground and slammed the bed board hard. The bed board made a loud bang, which scared Widow Qin so much that she almost jumped up.

She forced a smile and said, "Haodong, I really don't know where she was sold to, but I made an agreement with Ren Ya that she would not be sold to a filthy place.

She promised me that I would find her a maid in a good family, and we can benefit from it.”

At that time, she was thinking that if the little girl was sold to an ordinary family, she could at most be a child bride, but if she was sold to a wealthy family, she might be favored by the master or young master and be taken in as a concubine, and she could then get some money from her.

However, she didn't dare to say her plan out loud, she could only say that she wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Then she tried to recall, "The trafficker sent the child away on a boat from the pier. I think her name was Mrs. Wu.

I met her while wandering in the alley. She said she came here once every month.

She should be here this month, so keep an eye out for her. She has a big mole on her eyebrow. That's all I know."

Qin Haodong pondered for a moment and then said coldly, "If she doesn't come this month, I will settle the score with you.

If my sister can't be found, Qin Fu won't be able to survive either."

He was powerless before and couldn't do anything to her, but now he can get his house back and has money.

If anything happened to him, his younger brother could be entrusted to the Song family, so he really had no worries.

Widow Qin saw the cruelty in his eyes and didn't dare to say anything. She didn't plan to stay in Dajiang Town anymore. She planned to find a place to stay temporarily, and then she would take her son and leave.

Qin Haodong ignored her and left the room. Qin Haoxi ran over with tears in her eyes, pointed at the utility room and said, "Sister's bed is gone."

Qin Haodong held back his tears and hugged Haoxi, "I know where my sister is. We will find her soon. When we find her, we will buy her a new bed."

Qin Haoxi shouted happily, "Really? Can I really find my sister?"

Qin Haodong let go of Qin Haoxi and nodded seriously.

In the past, the small utility room was where Qin Yuanyuan, the little girl of the Qin family, lived. At that time, the Qin family had only one girl, and everyone doted on her.

Although the utility room is small, it contains everything needed for the little girl.

Later, the widow Qin came into the house, and there was not enough room for them, so Qin Haodong and Qin Fu slept in one room, while Qin Haoxi and Qin Yuanyuan slept in the utility room.

So when Qin Yuanyuan was sold later, it was the biggest blow to Qin Haoxi. He was so sad to see that even the bed they slept in together was gone.

Song Sanniang broke the sad atmosphere between the two and said, "Well, now that we have news about Yuanyuan, don't be sad.

We still have a lot of things to do. We are going to the capital tomorrow and we need to rent two cars.

I still have mooncake boxes to pick up, and I have run out of many ingredients at home, so I need to buy some too. Time is very tight, so let’s see how we can divide the work?”

Song Lao Er said, "Haodong and I will go rent a car, and then we will go get the mooncake boxes. You go buy the things first, and leave the heavy things in the store. We will find you later and transport them back."

Song Sanniang thought this idea was very appropriate, so everyone went their separate ways. Qin Haoxi also followed Qin Haodong and the others. He was still young, so it was not convenient for him to follow Song Sanniang everywhere.

No one paid any attention to Widow Qin. She could no longer make any waves.

Song Laoer and his two companions came to the pawnshop they had visited today. The business of the pawnshop covered the sale and purchase of human beings, sale and purchase and leasing of houses, sale and purchase and leasing of vehicles and horses, etc.

Li Du saw the three people and greeted them enthusiastically, "Brother Song, Brother Qin, why are you back again? Is there anything else you want to do?"

Song Lao Er laughed and said, "Brother Li, we are going to rent two ox carts to the capital city in the next few days and come over to take a look."

As soon as Li Du heard this, he took the three people to the backyard where the livestock were raised and asked, "What do you want to do by renting a car?"

"We want to transport mooncakes to the capital to sell." Song Lao Er replied honestly.

It was the first time that Li Du heard of someone transporting mooncakes to the city to sell them. Others went to the city to buy mooncakes, so he asked out of curiosity.

Then I found out that the Seven Stars and the Moon, which is very popular recently, is sold by them, so I asked them about it.

He had been in this business for a long time, so he suggested replacing the cow with a donkey, which is faster and more stable than a cow.

Song Laoer selected two docile, strong donkeys on his recommendation, and equipped them with a large, sheltered carriage, so that people and goods would not have to worry about being exposed to the sun or rain.

The price was a high price for Song Lao Er in the past, but it was not expensive for a business that traded hundreds of taels a day. Two hundred coins a day, a deposit of twenty taels,

Li Du also suggested that they rent a driver who was familiar with the road conditions, who would drive in front and lead the way, while they would have someone drive another car following behind.

All of Li Du's opinions were professional and appropriate. Song Laoer and his friends all learned a lesson. It only costs a hundred coins a day to rent a driver, including food and lodging. To be honest, it is not as expensive as a donkey.

This is caused by the general environment. Due to low productivity and few employment opportunities, labor is naturally cheap.

Livestock are used as a means of transportation and also perform the functions of labor, so their wages are more expensive than those of humans.

If it is a horse, it will be even more expensive. An ordinary person cannot afford to buy a horse in his lifetime.

So Song Laoer and his companions, led by the old driver, drove another donkey cart and followed behind to the West Market.
