After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Qian Niang was a little confused: "You said that the young master at this time and this old doctor don't have the same surname, so are they from the same family?"

Fang Tong didn't ask much about the relationship today, and shook his head: "I don't know, maybe a relative from my mother's family?"

This matter was discussed and no one cared about it.

Although we have made great gains today, the only regret is Qin Yan's leg.

Qian Fengping's mentality also calmed down a bit at this moment: "The old doctor is the imperial physician, but he can't do anything to treat Yan'er's injury. It seems that we have no other way to go."

Fang Tong saw her frown and spoke to comfort her: "Don't be sad, Qian Niang. Even if you can't pass the imperial examination to become an official, your knowledge is not in vain. Yan'er will learn to read and write. When we return to the county, I will still ask around for bookstores and let him study for a few more years to broaden his horizons."

"By then, our business might be on the rise, our lives will be better, and we'll have some spare money. We can open a shop in the county town, and Yan'er can be the shopkeeper."

He spoke in a relaxed tone, as if such a future was right before his eyes. Qian Niang stared at his profile in a daze.

"Mother Qian, don't underestimate this business. Even if you don't open a shop, if you run a family business, don't you need to keep accounts or something? It's different if you have a scholar. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to understand the documents, and you wouldn't be able to explain why you've been cheated."

Fang Nanzhi had been listening to their conversation with her ear tilted to the side, and at this time she shook the hand that her aunt was holding.

"Brother is teaching me how to write. I can become a shopkeeper in the future!"

The little girl cheered her father on with a serious face, making him laugh: "Yes, yes, by then we will have two scholars in our family, and this business will definitely do well!"

Qin Yan sat in a wheelchair, wanting to say something several times but hesitant, and finally said nothing.

In the end, he was reluctant to give up the opportunity to read. Every time he read over and over again the articles he had learned, he could remember his eagerness when he first started learning.

His hand slowly formed into a fist and clenched quietly.

Uncle Fang and his sister treat him like their closest family, and he will definitely be filial to Uncle Fang as if he were his own father in the future.

At Zhou's house, after Fang Tong and the others left, Old Zhou asked people to pack up their things and slowly walked to the garden of his house.

Sure enough, he saw Shi Junyan drinking tea.

Mr. Zhou chuckled and walked closer with his hands behind his back.

"Since you introduced us to this friend, why didn't you greet him more? Instead, you just left us here to hide away."

Shi Junyan frowned and said calmly, "Not a friend."

He just didn't want to owe that little girl a favor.

Although Mingyue couldn't actually be lost, since she helped, she had to return it.

He didn't explain these, but Mr. Zhou sat at the table drinking tea, and kept watching his expression out of the corner of his eye, so he could tell what he was thinking.

"Since the moon is bright, I think we can set off in the next two days. There's no point in staying in the city for too long."

Mr. Zhou took a sip of tea and said, "It's a pity that the house in the village hasn't been repaired yet. I have to live in the county town for a while."

Shi Junyan looked away and nodded slightly.

He came to the provincial capital specifically for Mingyue. The last time it was injured, he had someone go to great lengths to send it to Old Zhou for treatment.

Mr. Zhou was an imperial physician, and he didn't mind being treated as a veterinarian. He treated Mingyue seriously.

Shi Junyan came in person to pick Mingyue up. His concern for her was so extraordinary that ordinary people would probably find it difficult to understand.

Oh, never mind. There are not many things in the world that can be valued by this person.

Fang Tong and the others did not go back to the inn directly. Now that they had finished their business, he naturally wanted to buy some of the things he had seen in the shops on the street so that his trip would not be in vain.

They bought some food and cloth, as long as it was cheaper than in the county town, and in the end everyone returned to the inn with big and small bags.

The Fang family was also bustling at the moment, with the whole family sitting together counting silver and money.

Mr. Fang and his grandchildren carried the sugar-roasted chestnuts to the county town. Although they were not able to sell them to Qingfeng Tower, they went from house to house and finally they were taken away by Chunhe Teahouse.

The price is thirty-five cents per catty.

Chunhe Teahouse had long known that Qingfeng Teahouse had a new food that was particularly popular among customers. After they had someone buy it and taste it, they immediately asked around to find out where this thing came from.

But before they could find one, the Fang family came to their door. When they heard the price was right and there was definitely profit to be made, the two sides agreed on it.

"Oh, it has to be our Qingya. She made it as soon as she said she would. Even the teahouses in the county are impressed by it!"

He changed her previous sarcastic attitude and kept praising him.

Fang Jin and Old Man Fang were also very satisfied. The money was right in front of them. This was their cash cow!

Fang Qingya nodded with a forced smile and took the opportunity to bring up her plans for the past two days.

"Since this sugar-roasted chestnut business is viable, I've given my family some advice. I'll definitely have to contribute in the future. Let's agree in advance that I'll get half of the profits!"

As soon as the words fell, the room became quiet.

He looked at the other people's faces and quickly coaxed her: "You are only this age, what do you need all this money for? The money is kept in the public treasury. If you want anything in your daily life, your family will buy it for you!"

This damn girl has no vision at all. Who would be willing to give away the money they have earned?

If she asks for half of it right away, won’t she have less to calculate?

Fang Qingya was not willing to do that. "I came up with the recipe. If I didn't know how to make it, no one in my family would be able to make these sugar-roasted chestnuts. I deserve this money."

He couldn't help but frown, "You're just a little girl, what do you want money for? What's the use? The family has raised you for so many years and hasn't asked you for money yet, and you're plotting against me!"

Old Master Fang also looked unhappy and started to scold: "Qingya, you have to be sensible. Your mother is right. You have nothing to do with this money, but your father needs money for his studies. As a daughter, don't you have to be filial?"

Fang Qingya sneered, "Hmph, think carefully then. I know more than just roasted chestnuts. You want to make money, but you won't share it with me. I have no money to earn, so why bother working so hard?"

"If you don't want to make money while you're sitting there, then go research it yourself!"

He was very angry. If it were in the past, she would have slapped him, but unfortunately it was different now.

Seeing that his father had spoken, Fang Qingya was still like this, Fang Jin thought for a while before speaking.

"Xiaoya, even if you don't want to acknowledge us as your parents, you were raised by our family after all. As long as you live here, you should at least care about your reputation, right? Would it sound good if you turned your back on us and told everyone else?"

There was a hint of threat in his tone. "Of course, you do have some truth to it. How about this? Half is too much, so I'll give you 20%. The difference can be considered as your filial piety to your elders at home."

Fang Qingya wanted to say something, but facing Fang Jin's unusually cold gaze, she gritted her teeth and nodded reluctantly.
