It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

Because of the two hundred dollars that Song Zhi had just promised him, the monkey kept waiting and never left.

Seeing Song Zhi walking towards him, the little guy immediately jumped up from the ground and hopped in front of Song Zhi.

"Good man, you are here!" The monkey smiled brightly, his eyes sparkling and full of spirit. "Does what you just said about your inquiry still count?"

Song Zhi nodded. "I came here to tell you this. I need you to help me keep an eye on someone. It's the owner of the Wang family's pastry shop."

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without defeat. She always has to understand her opponent first.

She paused and continued, "I want to know what kind of person he is, who he hangs out with, and what his family situation is like. But most importantly, I want to know if he's done anything shameful."

The monkey nodded repeatedly. "This isn't a difficult task for us, but I'm worried that the information we get might not be what kind people want."

Song Zhi just said, "You don't need to worry about this, just do as I tell you."

"Be careful when stalking, don't act rashly, and don't let others know your intentions."

"If you can bring back useful information, I will not only honor my previous promise of two hundred yuan, but I will also give you an additional reward."

When the monkey heard this, his eyes lit up immediately. "Then what is the useful news?"

"For example, has the owner of this pastry shop done anything illegal in private? Whatever you can find out will count."

The monkey patted his chest and said confidently, "Don't worry, my good friend! I may not have any other skills, but I am an expert at getting information. I will definitely dig out all the stories about the shopkeeper for you."

Having said that, he was about to leave.

But suddenly he thought of something and stopped again, asking, "If I find out the news, how should I inform the good people?"

Song Zhi thought that now the jelly business had been handed over to the villagers, and she had to prepare tea and boil sugar to make snacks.

I may not come to the county these days.

She thought for a moment and came up with a slightly more compromising solution.

Song Zhi pointed to the grass market in the south of the city and said, "If you find anything, tell the people selling jelly in the market, and I will tell the people who set up stalls here.

"Once I receive the news, I will return to the county town the next day. We will then meet at the entrance of this market."

Monkey looked at Song Zhi in surprise, swallowed his saliva, and asked curiously, "Is the most popular jelly in the city yours? I heard that it's very cold and delicious."

Song Zhi looked at him, looking like he really wanted to eat it, and nodded: "This jelly belongs to my family now, but after a while, it won't be mine anymore!"

"Next time I come to see you, I'll bring some for you and your little brother to try. How about that?"

"Really?" The monkey's eyes were full of surprise.

He liked talking to Song Zhi very much because he could feel her friendliness and respect when he talked to her.

There was no contempt, sympathy or pity in her eyes when she looked at him.

It can be said that Monkey felt equality and respect from Song Zhi.

This was something he had never experienced since he started begging on the streets.

Song Zhi nodded, "Of course it's true, I want to thank you for helping me keep an eye on him!"

The monkey grinned, said a few words of thanks to Song Zhi, and then disappeared quickly in the bustling crowd like an agile little animal, running towards the pastry shop.

At this time, Wang Lun was pacing back and forth in the shop anxiously.

Just now, he hurriedly left the county government office and went to Wang's house to ask to see the second wife.

He had wanted to tell his wife the news he had found out this morning, so that he could show his merit in front of his wife and ask her to plead for his nephew.

Later, he helped smooth things over for his nephew so that he wouldn't die of exhaustion in the mine.

He never thought that, let alone meeting Chen, he couldn't even enter the Wang family.

The person was stopped outside Wang's house.

In the words of the concierge, "Second Madam will not be receiving any guests for this month. If she has any issues, she can just report them directly to Butler Wang."

Wang Lun's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

How dare he tell Butler Wang about following Song Zhi? He must be tired of living.

The county magistrate had just made a judgment on the case early this morning. If he committed a crime again now, not only would he have violated the county magistrate's taboo, but even the head of the family would no longer tolerate him.

At this moment, Wang Lun's heart felt like it was being roasted on fire.

I am afraid, afraid, and afraid again!

Fearing that his nephew could not bear the suffering, he also confessed him.

In fact, as the instigator of the exploitation of these tenants, he would not be able to escape if his nephew betrayed him.

He was also afraid that the Second Lady would be angry with him because of this matter. After all, it was he who introduced his nephew to the farm.

He was also afraid that the master would find out that he was involved, and then his whole family might be finished!

Therefore, the attitude of the county magistrate today and the fact that the second wife was under house arrest made Wang Lun feel panic.

Even his original plan to target Song Zhi was temporarily put on hold because he had not seen the Second Madam.

He just wanted to comfort his nephew as much as possible, pay the jailer, and wait for him to breathe a sigh of relief. He would discuss everything after seeing his wife.

Of course, Song Zhi didn't know all this.

At this time, she was taking her family to the pharmacy to buy spices.

At Caoshi, the family sent Xiao Zhao and Tian to sell jelly there.

Because she had already had experience in selling things once, and Xiao Zhao used to set up a stall with her mother-in-law at the big market.

So when Song Zhi saw that the two of them could handle it, she said goodbye to them and led her eldest brother and the others away.

Song Zhi stopped on the roadside not far from the city west pharmacy.

She said to Song Ping, "Brother, the herbs I want to buy this time must be bought separately. I'll go in first, and I'll list a few more herbs for you later. You can help me buy them."

Song Ping was puzzled, "Why is this?"

"Don't let the shopkeeper know!"

Song Ping always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put it into words. He just nodded randomly and watched his little sister walk away.

It was not until he entered the shop that he belatedly realized what was happening and asked the younger brother beside him, "Why did your sister buy the herbs? Why is she so particular about it?"

Song An now admires his elder sister very much.

He shook his little head and said, "You don't understand this, big brother. My sister also consulted Doctor Zheng about herbal medicine. Wasn't the first money our family made from selling herbal medicine?"

"If my sister hadn't made money selling herbs, grandma and mom wouldn't have let her try cooking!"

"So, big brother, just trust me!"

The little guy spoke with a look of complete trust, completely different from the little guy who would frown when he saw Song Zhi before.
