Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

"You pay a little money, and I'll give you 30% of the store's monthly revenue. If anyone wants to cause trouble, I'll report you.

If this still doesn't solve the problem, then I'll have to trouble you to solve it. Do you think this will work?" Song Sanniang said.

"This is simple. Do you know the Jin family in Fucheng?" He Jun asked with a smile.

"I know. I heard he is the richest man in the city. The shop I rented belongs to him." Song Sanniang replied.

"What a coincidence, the Jin family is my maternal family. Don't worry, I will write a letter and ask my maternal family to help look after you, and we'll just take care of the profits."

He Jun really didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, and Song Sanniang was also surprised.

Because He Jun's father is the Minister of Personnel, and the Jin family is a merchant family, how could the He family be interested in the Jin family? Even if the Jin family's daughter married into the He family, she would probably be a concubine.

Perhaps realizing Song Sanniang's shock, He Jun spoke softly about her parents.

"Back then, my mother had just learned how to run a household, so she went to her family's shop to have a look, and she met my father. My father fell in love with my mother at first sight, and later when he got to know my mother, he wanted to marry her.

But my grandparents disagreed and wanted my father to marry a wife before bringing my mother in. Because of this, my father and my grandparents had a huge fight.

Later, I don't know what my father did, but my grandfather and grandmother agreed to let my mother marry in. After my mother married in, my grandmother continued to make things difficult for her. My father said he wanted to move out, and then my grandmother stopped.

Things didn't get better until my grandfather abdicated and my father became the Minister of Rites. My father was in Beijing and my grandfather returned to Dajiang Town.

You don't know, my brother and I were supposed to live with our parents, but my grandmother said it was unfilial for my mother not to be around to take care of her, so she insisted on keeping me and my brother.

My grandmother didn't like me to get close to my grandparents. She didn't like me to go out or learn to manage the household. Even though my mother gave me many shops, they were all managed by the managers.

This matter is considered a scandal in our He family, so no one mentions it much, and outsiders dare not talk about it. "

So that's the case. Song Sanniang asked a little worriedly, "Then your grandmother doesn't like you to associate with your maternal grandparents. Is it not good to ask you to trouble your maternal grandparents for my affairs?"

"It's okay. Although I don't go to my grandparents' home, I still communicate with them from time to time.

My maternal grandparents would often send me any rare items they found, and my grandmother couldn't stop them.

Besides, I am getting married soon, and my maternal grandparents often send people to my house for my dowry. "He Jun said nonchalantly,

Then He Jun found out which shop Song Sanniang rented. She gave Xia He a few instructions and Xia He went out.

"I have asked Xia He to contact my maternal family. They will get the news tomorrow."

Song Sanniang had to admire that sometimes power can really reach the sky.

But of course she couldn't really let He Jun do this for nothing, so she tried her best to persuade He Jun, and finally He Jun invested 100 taels into the store, and then she took 10% of the profits, which would be settled to her every six months.

After resolving this matter, Song Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief. It was almost time. She had already had lunch at He Jun's place, and she still had to go find Song Laoer and the others.

After saying goodbye to He Jun, she walked to Xishi to find Qin Haodong and his friends. Qin Haodong and his friends had already bought their things and were having lunch in a small shop. Song Sanniang walked around for a while and saw the familiar donkey cart and found them.

After the three of them reunited, Song Sanniang waited for Qin Haodong and the others to finish their lunch, and then went to find Song Dazhi together, because they had to return the donkey cart first, and then inform Master Huang of the next time to go to the city.

After finding Song Dazhi, I put the things I bought on his ox cart first. He looked at the live chickens and ducks and the fish in the wooden barrels on the cart and said with a smile, "You bought all the chickens, ducks and fish so quickly."

Song Lao Er also laughed and said, "Buy it in advance, the market will definitely be full of people tomorrow." After a few pleasantries, the group went to the dental shop.

When I got to the dealership, I paid the rent for the donkey cart, returned the cart, got back the 20 taels deposit, and made an appointment with Master Huang.

Qin Haodong entrusted the brokerage firm to rent out his house, and then Song Dazhi drove Qin Haodong and others to Tianshui Lane.

The car stopped in front of Qin's house. At this time, there was no one in the alley and it was very quiet.

Qin Haodong opened the door and found the house still in the same mess as when he left.

Qin Haodong packed up all the brothers' belongings and put them on the ox cart, then went to knock on the door of the Hu family next door.

"Who is it?" Aunt Hu heard the knock on the door and came out from the inner room to ask. Usually, there were few people in the alley at this time.

"Aunt Hu, it's me, Qin Haodong."

When she heard it was Qin Haodong, Aunt Hu quickly opened the door. Seeing his energetic look, Aunt Hu happily shouted,

"Dong Ge'er, where have you been? I heard them say that you got your house back, but why haven't I seen you guys living there?"

"I got the house back, and I found a job selling sweet soup for others.

During this period, my brother and I have been helping out at our employer's place. We will live there from now on and have asked a dental company to rent it out.

Aunt Hu, you don't have to worry about us. I came here this time to entrust you with something important."

He was taken in by Aunt Hu before, and he was raised by Aunt Hu, so he told her about his recent situation and stated his purpose without any hesitation.

"Child, I haven't done anything to help you. Just live a good life now. What do you want me to do for you?" Aunt Hu asked.

"My brother and sister were sold before, and you also helped. Did you see what the traffickers looked like?"

"I didn't see it. I heard Haoxi crying and shouting. When we went over to check, Yuanyuan was gone."

Hearing what they said, Qin Haodong was not disappointed. He said to Aunt Hu, "I asked that woman, and she said that the matchmaker was called Mrs. Wu, and that she bought someone and sent him out by boat from the dock.

Mrs. Wu has a big mole on her forehead. It comes once every month. I would like to trouble Aunt Hu to ask the neighbors to keep an eye on it for me.

If you see that matchmaker, help me stop her and find out the whereabouts of my sister."

As he said this, he took out a two-liang and a three-liang piece of silver and gave them to Aunt Hu. "These two liang are for you to spend. Thank you for taking care of us three siblings in the past. By the way, please help me clean up the house so that I can rent it out.

These three taels are for the neighbors. Please ask them to keep an eye on Mrs. Wu's whereabouts. I will give her ten taels as a reward after the matter is done."

Aunt Hu didn't say anything polite. She knew that Qin Haodong's search for his sister was important. She accepted the money and agreed seriously.

"Don't worry, Yuanyuan has been raised by all of us neighbors. Even if we don't have money, we will still take good care of you. You must take good care of yourself outside and come back to see us when you have time."

After some instructions, Song Dazhi drove Qin Haodong to two places, the private school where Qin Haodong used to go to school and the place where he worked part-time. He also asked some acquaintances to help keep an eye out for news about Mrs. Wu.

The group then returned to Songjia Village.
