The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Qian Bo reacted and stood in front of Song Yuntang again.

"Miss Song, the master has raised you for thirteen years. When you were at the Lin family, he treated you like his own daughter. I'm sure Miss Song can feel that although the master is a bit serious, he treats you and the other young masters with the same care."

Song Yuntang remained silent.

"I understand. After all, my parents truly treated Lin Zhaozhao as their own daughter."

During those years of identity exchange, no one probably thought that the girl they raised since childhood was not their biological daughter.

The Lin family only had one daughter, Lin Zhaozhao, given birth to by the mistress Zhuang Wenyin. Although they had two concubines, none of them had children. The concubine who swapped her identity with Lin Zhaozhao was even fed a bowl of safflower by Zhuang Wenyin. Not only did she lose the baby in her belly, but she also injured her body and could no longer have children.

Although Lin Hongshen was cold-hearted, he was indeed more tolerant towards the original owner who lived in the Lin Mansion.

"Miss Song, are you blaming the master for not showing up when Madam sent you back to the Song family?"

Qian Bo sighed, "In fact, the master was reluctant to part with the girl at that time, but there was nothing he could do. In order to stabilize the emotions of the mistress and Miss Zhao Zhao, he had to give up the idea at that time."

Three years.

It's not three days.

If Lin Hongshen really wanted to take care of the original owner's non-blood-related daughter, he wouldn't have come to find her three years later.

So Song Yuntang didn't believe a single word Qian Bo said.

"I don't blame Mr. Lin. My background is a fact I can't change. If I have to blame anyone, blame Concubine Su for her cruelty. She forced the Lin and Song families to be separated for thirteen years." She looked at Qian Bo. "Now that Lin Zhaozhao and I have returned to our respective positions, we should stop interacting from now on. It will be good for both me and her."

"This..." Qian Bo bowed to her with an embarrassed look on his face, "Please don't embarrass me, Miss Song."

As soon as he finished speaking, two servants from the Lin Mansion appeared behind Qian Bo without him noticing.

Looking at this situation, Song Yuntang frowned and looked a little unhappy.

"If I don't go, is Qian Bo planning to use force?"

Qian Bo winked at the two people behind him, asking them to move a little further away. Then he looked at Song Yuntang and said, "These two servants are ignorant. Miss Song, please forgive me."

"Although I don't know why Mr. Lin wants to see me, I think it has something to do with Lin Zhaozhao. However, I don't want to compromise on this matter. If I go to the Lin Mansion, it will only make both parties unhappy. I hope that Uncle Qian will understand my difficulties."

After saying that, he walked around Qian Bo and the two servants behind him and headed towards Yujun Pavilion.

Qian Bo watched Song Yuntang leave, sighed, and led the servants back to the Lin Mansion.

……

Yujun Pavilion's total revenue in six days was seventeen taels. Although the profit was not much, it was very good to be stable.

After all, the people in the town have limited spending power.

"In August, Mu Dong made three deliveries to the county town. He was promised an extra fifty wen subsidy for each delivery. Three deliveries totaled one hundred and fifty wen. Add to that the monthly wages of nine hundred wen and a one hundred wen food allowance, and the total was one tael and one hundred and fifty wen."

As Song Yuntang spoke, he settled Mu Dong's wages for him.

"Thank you, Miss Song."

The wages of one or two taels of silver were considered high in the whole Cile Town. Mu Dong was so happy when he held the silver in his hand.

He was finally able to rely on his own abilities to provide his mother and sister with a life full of food.

"Mu Qiu's wages this month, including food allowance, total one tael of silver." Song Yuntang handed another tael of silver to Mu Qiu. "You two have received your wages for August. Sell well this month. If the shop's revenue exceeds one hundred taels in September, I will give you two an additional three taels of silver as commission."

The brother and sister were so happy when they got their wages.

Hearing Song Yuntang's promise of three taels of silver again, he nodded repeatedly, "We will definitely do our best."

After finishing his work here, Song Yuntang went to Huajianzui again.

She was away for five days, but the revenue during these five days was not much lower than that of the first two days of opening. In addition, the food in the shop was special, and the limited number of 30 crispy chickens per day could be sold out in half an hour.

Fang Tianci handed over the thirty-seven taels of silver he had earned in five days to Song Yuntang.

His face was full of excitement. "Miss, our shop has been doing pretty good these days. If we keep doing this, we can make more than two hundred taels a month."

Yujun Pavilion costs one hundred taels, Huajianzui costs two hundred taels, which adds up to three hundred taels. Excluding costs and labor, there is at least a net profit of two hundred and twenty taels.

Earning more than two hundred taels of silver a month is considered a high income in a place like Cile Town.

After the shop's revenue and staff were stable, she would slowly expand the shop and grow the business step by step.

Thinking of this, Song Yuntang looked at Fang Tianci with a smile.

"Work hard. If your monthly revenue exceeds two hundred taels, I'll give five taels of silver as a reward to the five people in the shop. I'll also appoint you as the shopkeeper of Huajianzui in advance, and I'll increase your wages by five hundred wen."

After hearing this, Fang Tianci became very motivated.

"Don't worry, girl. I will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations."

Xu Liangping adapted very well to the shop. He was smart and a quick learner.

Fang Tianci taught him a lot of things in the past few days, including the job of paying the bills, and he never made any mistakes.

Song Yuntang heard Fang Tianci's evaluation of Xu Liangping and called him to the backyard.

"Ryohei, are you still able to handle the work in the shop?"

Xu Liangping nodded quickly. "I was so busy the past two days, but Brother Fang helped me a lot. I've been feeling much better in the past two days."

Song Yuntang patted his shoulder.

"You should learn from Brother Tianci. I want to open a Huajianzui restaurant in the county next year. I will definitely let you be in charge of one of the shops then."

Xu Liangping clenched his fists firmly.

"I will definitely study hard."

……

It was already past noon, and walking back to Lushan Village alone was not only unsafe, but it would be dark by the time I got home.

Song Yuntang decided to go back to the farm first and ask Tu Shi to harness the mule cart to take her back.

As soon as I came out of Cile Town, I saw a familiar face.

"Chamber?"

After Qian Bo clasped his fists towards Song Yuntang, he pointed to the simple teahouse where Grandpa Sun, who drove the ox cart, often drank tea.

"Miss, the master has been waiting for you here for a long time."

Although Song Yuntang was extremely reluctant to see the Lin family, they were already blocking her way home. If she didn't go to see them, it would seem she was being ungrateful.

She came and sat down opposite Lin Hongshen, took a clean cup and poured herself a cup of tea, then turned to look at the middle-aged man in front of her who looked 50% similar to Lin Jingyao. When she saw him for the first time, he looked exactly the same as the original owner remembered.

"I wonder what Mr. Lin wants to talk to me about?"
