Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 120 Emergency Situation

For the Qin Haodong brothers, today is a day they will remember for the rest of their lives. Today, a letter from the county town was delivered to Tian Mi Mi by a courier.

"Qin Haodong's letter. Who is Qin Haodong?" A man dressed as a messenger walked into the door of Tianmi Mimi and asked, holding up the letter in his hand.

Qin Haodong was at the counter, so he shouted, "I am Qin Haodong, give me the letter." After the two checked the information and confirmed it was correct, Qin Haodong got the letter.

He looked at the envelope. It was a letter from the county town. He opened the letter and read it quickly. After finishing reading the letter, his tears flowed down.

Song Sanniang was nearby. She noticed something and came over. Qin Haodong was already sobbing and choked up as he said to her, "There's news about my sister. I'm going to go find her."

Song Sanniang took the letter from him and saw that it was written by someone else hired by Aunt Hu. They had been watching for a long time and finally found someone who looked very similar to Mrs. Wu.

She and a man were asking around two streets away from Tianshui Lane if there was anyone who wanted to sell a child, so they all stopped the two people, who turned out to be Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu had taken care of so many children, and it had been so long, it was impossible to find them back under normal circumstances.

However, because something happened when Qin Yuanyuan was bought, Mrs. Wu was deeply impressed by Qin Yuanyuan. She was also thinking about Qin Haoxi who she had not yet got, so she came to take a look again.

She was not afraid of being stopped by everyone, because she was legally buying and selling children, not kidnapping them.

When she knew that everyone wanted her to reveal Qin Yuanyuan's whereabouts, she looked at their attitude and realized that if she didn't tell the truth, she would have a hard time getting away, so she did.

Although Widow Qin said that she wanted to sell Qin Yuanyuan to a wealthy family so that she could have a chance to benefit from it, who was Mrs. Wu? She agreed to Widow Qin's request, but she sold Qin Yuanyuan to another city.

Because the human traffickers in this group travel by boat, when they arrive at a place, they contact the human traffickers in that place and release a few people.

When the boat reached a certain place, they would put a few more of them there. So Qin Yuanyuan was not sold directly by herself. She sold Qin Yuanyuan and others to a human teether named Xu Dong when the boat reached Guangling Prefecture, a city halfway along the way.

They got the news about Qin Yuanyuan from her. Of course, because they were afraid that Mrs. Wu was lying, they also called in the patrolling yamen runners.

In front of the bailiff, Mrs. Wu promised that she had not lied, so everyone immediately wrote a letter to Qin Haodong to inform him.

After reading Qin Haodong's letter, Song Sanniang let him calm down before saying, "Let us go with you to find her. You and Haoxi pack two sets of clothes first, and we'll set off soon."

Qin Haodong tried hard to calm himself down after hearing this, and then went to find Qin Haoxi to pack his luggage together.

Song Sanniang first found a errand boy on the street and asked him to go to the Tan family to inform Master Tan that she suddenly had an urgent matter and had to leave the city for a few days. She would discuss the cooperation when she came back, and then expressed her apologies.

Then he went to Diancuilou and asked Shopkeeper Jin to deliver the jewelry directly to Jin's house if he hadn't come to pick it up yet.

Then she wrote down each person's style on a piece of paper and asked the boy to give it to Shopkeeper Jin, who would help her put it on.

She gave the boy twenty cents, which was a very high price, and the boy was so happy that he promised to do the job properly.

Song Sanniang told Song Laoer about Qin Haodong again, so the father and daughter decided to take Niu Laosan with them and go together. It would be safer with more people, so Niu Laosan also went back to pack his things.

Song Sanniang went to the kitchen first to explain things to Song Ersao and the others, "Mom, there is news about Yuanyuan. I plan to bring Dad and Uncle San to go with Brother Dong to look for Yuanyuan. You will have to take care of the store more."

She then said to her aunt and the others, "The store is busy. With so many people leaving at once, you guys might be very busy.

If you are really too busy, just let us know and we can find two or three helpers to do the simple work, and you can still do the recipe work yourself."

Hearing this, although my aunt was busy, she said, "This is not a big deal. When we planted and harvested dozens of acres of rice every year, it was really hard, dry and tiring. Now the work is easy and we can handle it."

The others also said that they were busy, and Song Sanniang felt relieved when she heard everyone say that.

She found Liu Zezheng and others, wanting to hand over the checkout work at the counter to him and Liu Zehuan. They were both educated, and although their handwriting was not very good, they were good at doing the math.

"Cousin, if you leave this to us, what if something goes wrong?" Liu Zezheng said a little nervously.

"Don't be afraid. If you're afraid of making mistakes, then come and count with your third cousin. If that doesn't work, call your second cousin and Brother Zuren. You've read more books than I have. If I can do it, you must be even better."

The two still felt a little hesitant, so Song Sanniang said, "You can't just think of running errands in the store forever, right?

You guys should try to get started with these accounting tasks now. When I open a branch in the future, I will let you be the shopkeeper. If you don’t even have this courage, then it won’t work.”

Hearing this, the two threw all their tension out of the window and asked Song Sanniang, "Cousin, do you really want us to be the shopkeepers?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I open a store in the city? Now I'll open a store in the city first. Once it's famous, I can open a branch in the city and then in the county. You need to learn more, and we'll try to open a branch this year."

The two were very moved by Song Sanniang's words and immediately promised to study hard.

Seeing the expressions of Song Ming, Song Zuren, and Liu Zecheng, Song Sanniang comforted them, "Don't think you three have no chance. Second cousin and Zuren are new here, so you two need to get used to it first.

Brother Ming, you can't read, you need to learn from your eldest cousin. As long as you can read and count, you can become a shopkeeper."

This is a very comprehensive statement. Everyone was touched and motivated.

At that time, it was generally impossible for a waiter to become a shop owner. Many waiters were apprentices who did not even receive wages and had to pay tuition to their masters.

Therefore, when Song Sanniang said that they could become shopkeepers, it undoubtedly paved a bright road in front of them. No one would suspect that she was lying.

Because she was younger than them, but they saw everything she did in the store, so everyone believed what she said.

After everyone left, Song Sanniang returned to the backyard. The four women were doing the homework Song Sanniang had given them. Qin Haoxi was also following them.

But after Qin Haodong told him about Yuanyuan, he also cried, and then went back to the room to pack clothes with Qin Haodong, and now they have finished packing.

The four mothers already knew that their father and sister were going on a long trip. They were both a little unhappy and pouted.

Song Sanniang then comforted the two of them. She had brought them up since they were young. This was the second time that Song Sanniang had left them when she came to the city.

Moreover, they would be away for so many days, and the two were still young and not used to the feeling of being apart, so Song Sanniang coaxed them for a while before packing her luggage.

Soon Niu Laosan also packed his luggage and came back from the dormitory. He drove the donkey cart, and everyone got on the cart and went to the dock.
