Zhou Lingling asked Tie Yuan to rent a yard.

Sheng Jinbao's men also delivered the food to the place designated by Zhou Lingling.

She then said, "Ask Qizhu to send someone to get the food."

"Just say... a hundred thousand pounds!"

Tie Yuan: “…”

He looked at the 10,000 kilograms of grain that only filled half of the room, and tactfully asked no questions. He nodded and went to do as he was told.

During the few days of waiting for the people from the Qizhu Sect to arrive, Zhou Lingling was not idle either.

She went to Sai Jinhua's shop and helped her draw up a "plan".

Existing raw materials, combined with unique garment design, tailoring, and a new garment display space...

A garment store that will become popular throughout Dayuan is about to be born.

Sai Jinhua looked at the dresses that came to life on the paper with just a few strokes, and the amazement in her eyes never faded.

"Good good!"

"This good-looking!"

“This one looks better!”

"This one looks better..."

"Tsk, they're all so beautiful!"

Sai Jinhua held a stack of drawings in her hand, her face full of confusion.

Zhou Lingling put down his pen, rubbed his sore wrist, and couldn't help but smile at this:

"What's there to worry about? It's all for you anyway."

Sai Jinhua was stunned. "Yeah! They're all mine anyway!"

"Girl, I won't be so distant with you anymore. When I make money, I'll give you 30%!"

Now it was Zhou Lingling's turn to be surprised.

"No need. This is my way of thanking you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to buy so much food."

She doesn't like to owe people things or favors.

Sai Jinhua understood what she meant and took a step back: "Then it's 20%. The little money you gave me is a big help, not to mention there are so many beautiful clothes."

"Don't refuse. I have no children and am alone. No matter how much money I make, I can't take it with me. I just want to do it for my own pleasure."

"I really like you, girl. If you don't mind, come and see me often when you come to Wushuang City."

It has to be said that Zhou Lingling still admires Sai Jinhua's character.

I'm just curious about the other person's identity.

Why do siblings take their mother's surname and the other their father's surname?

This kind of thing is very common in modern times, but in ancient times when patriarchy was dominant, almost no one took the mother's surname except those who married into the wife's family.

After the two became familiar with each other, Sai Jinhua did not hide it and told Zhou Lingling herself.

"The Sheng family is my father's family, and the Sai family is my mother's family, but half of the credit for the Sheng family's success today is due to the Sai family..."

It turned out that forty years ago, Mr. Sai, who was highly skilled in martial arts, brought his whole family to settle in Wushuang City and met Mr. Sheng, who opened a food shop in Wushuang City.

Mr. Sai often came to Sheng's restaurant to drink, and the two hit it off and developed a deep affection.

They even agreed that the two families would marry their children into in-laws.

The Sheng family restaurant had good food and many regular customers. After ten years, Mr. Sheng saved some money and wanted to move to a bigger shop.

Unexpectedly, the shop he had his eyes on was also coveted by another powerful family, so he failed to buy the shop, and the original snack shop was also smashed by people hired by the other party.

Mr. Sheng almost collapsed.

It just so happened that at this time, the only son and daughter of the Sheng and Sai families, one had reached the age of coming of age and the other had reached the age of marriage. They had been childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship.

Mr. Sai suggested that the two children get married, and he would give a shop to his daughter as a dowry.

But there is a condition, that is, the daughter's first child, regardless of gender, must take the mother's surname.

Mr. Sheng knew that his old friend wanted to help him.

Besides, they have only one son, and my old friend has only one daughter.

After a hundred years of passing away, wouldn't the Sheng family be wiped out?

So Mr. Sheng agreed to his old friend's conditions without thinking.

Mr. Sai has been wandering around the world all his life, but Miss Sai is a gentle person. After marrying the young master of the Sheng family, she treats him with respect and lives in harmony with him.

The Sheng family opened one food store after another.

After the eldest daughter was born, the Sheng family asked Mr. Sai to name her Sai Jinhua as agreed.

Although her last name is Sai, Sai Jinhua grew up in the Sheng family most of the time.

After Sheng Jinbao was born, the Sheng family, under the management of Master Sheng, not only opened a food store, but also a cloth shop, a rouge shop, and several grocery stores.

He also travels around the country with a mature caravan under his command, so the things in his shop are always fashionable, good quality and inexpensive.

But God is jealous of talented people. Ten years ago, Mr. Sheng died accidentally while on a business trip. His wife also had a miscarriage after hearing the bad news and later died of illness.

At that time, Sai Jinhua was only thirteen years old and Sheng Jinbao was only eight years old.

The two old men lost their children and their health was deteriorating.

Neither the Sai family nor the Sheng family has any relatives or friends in Wushuang City. The elders of the two families are holding on, waiting for their granddaughters and grandsons to be able to stand on their own.

Five years ago, the two old men passed away one after another. On his deathbed, Grandpa Sai gave all his belongings to his granddaughter, and Grandpa Sheng gave the family's cloth shop to Sai Jinhua, and the rest went to Sheng Jinbao, but before he was fifteen years old, his eldest sister took care of it.

Before that, they had arranged a marriage for Sai Jinhua.

A scholar from a poor family.

It’s not like marrying into the wife’s family, but it’s better than marrying into the wife’s family.

The scholar was the fourth of four sons and two daughters in his family. He was able to go to school and learn to read and write with the support of his older brothers.

The Sai family did not want a betrothal gift, but a dowry of 1,000 taels of silver, and also provided for the scholar to continue his studies. The conditions were that he would live in the Sheng family after marriage, take care of his younger brother, and the first child would take the mother's surname...

Both the scholar himself and his family readily agreed to these requests.

But most of the heartless people are scholars, and most of the righteous people are butchers.

The scholar studied hard for three years and passed the imperial examination, but he turned against his master.

According to the seven grounds for divorce, Sai Jinhua was to be divorced for disrespecting elders and having no children for five years.

At that time, Sai Jinhua accepted the divorce letter with a sneer, packed up the tattered clothes that the scholar wore when he came to the Sheng family, and threw him out of the Sheng Mansion.

The other party was even claiming that Sai Jinhua had swallowed up his savings over the years and the compensation given to him by the Sheng family.

In return, Sheng Jinbao hired someone to beat him up, even his old family members who lived far away in the village were not spared.

Over the years, Sheng Jinbao had the big brick and tile house built by the Sheng family, as well as the furniture and clothes they bought, smashed and torn up by others.

In short, nothing good was left for them.

The scholar brought his whole family to make trouble and even went to the county government to file a complaint.

What a pity. The Sheng siblings had long been fed up with the rudeness of this vampire family. They had to spend money and find people until they beat these people so that they no longer dared to enter the city.

After saying this, Sai Jinhua herself also revealed a confused look:

"During those years, not only did I have to manage the Sheng family's business and take care of Jinbao, but I also had to be humble and serve a strange person. Just thinking about it makes me feel unlucky!"

If this marriage had not been arranged by my grandfather and my maternal grandfather together, saying that the family cannot be without a male to establish the family.

The scholar's character was just passable. The family had many sons, so one more was not a big deal. He was also a scholar. If he could pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, it would be perfect for the Sheng family.

unlucky……

Zhou Lingling agreed: "It's quite unlucky."

Just by listening to it, I feel that Aunt Jinhua had a really hard time during those years.

The ancient version of Phoenix Man.

If Aunt Jinhua hadn't been so tough, she would have been bitten off by that family in the end.

But the brother and sister would rather give huge sums of money to the government than let that family get a bargain.

Hmm... Zhou Lingling really appreciates this character more and more!

"But now it's all good. Jinbao has taken over the Sheng family's responsibility, and I run the cloth shop by myself. I can do whatever I want..."

Sai Jinhua's relaxed voice made Zhou Lingling curl the corners of her mouth.

Those who do good will be blessed by God.

Those who do evil will be punished by God...
