He pursued Qin Shi, married her, and her family became his family.
When this thought came to mind, Zhanqi discovered that he wasn't averse to it at all.
He used to be unwilling to get married. His parents were anxious and angry and tried everything, but he refused to compromise. Every time his mother was angry, she would say sarcastically, "Are you trying to marry a goddess?"
He's thick-skinned, so he let his mother mock him.
But now he wants to be family with Qin Shi. Qin Shi isn't a celestial being, but he feels she deserves that title.
In those few short moments, Zhan Qi's thoughts were in turmoil.
Qin glanced at Zhanqi. She had already eaten at home, but Zhanqi's question meant she hadn't. This trip would take quite a while, so Qin nodded gently and said, "Then thank you for treating me to noodles."
Zhan Qi smiled faintly and said, "Please, Miss Qin."
Qin nodded slightly and left with Zhanqi.
Zhang quietly observed for a while before approaching Qin Tianhai and saying, "This Zhanqi is quite nice. He seems reliable and polite, but I wonder if he's married..."
At his age, he should be married, but his family has suffered a tragedy...
"Give up on that idea. I don't think Yu Wan has any feelings for him."
Qin Tianhai glanced at Zhang Shi with amusement, then shook his head.
As a mother, she is always worried about her child, but some things are preordained.
Zhang rolled her eyes at Qin Tianhai, annoyed: "Just because it's not there now doesn't mean it won't be in the future. This time we need to open our eyes and take a good look."
Thinking of the Su family, Zhang gritted her teeth. She was blind back then, but she couldn't be blind again this time!
Qin Tianhai nodded, agreeing with this statement.
...
Zhanqi took Qin to a nice noodle shop, where they ordered two bowls of beef noodles and a few beef patties.
Once the noodles were served, Zhanqi fetched chopsticks for Qin Shi.
He had a gentle and approachable demeanor, and Madam Qin also felt that he was easy to befriend.
“Yesterday I also asked my nephew to go see the fish treasure.”
Zhanqi took the initiative to bring up Qin Jin'an.
Qin became much gentler and waited for him to continue.
"Yu Bao is like the oldest and most divine legend in our tribe. All of us little monkeys are close to her. Our family believes in the monkey tribe. In our hearts, Yu Bao is like a monkey god."
Zhan Qi spoke gently, his eyes filled with reverence.
People who are approached by monkeys will naturally be trusted and followed.
"If there's anything I can do to help, Miss Qin, please don't hesitate to ask."
Zhanqi spoke seriously again.
Qin looked at him and knew he was serious and not just being polite.
Madam Qin nodded: "Okay, let's cooperate and help each other."
Zhan Qi nodded.
After eating the noodles, Zhanqi and Qin went to see the female workers.
They had families to support, and they absolutely could not give up their textile work. So when they heard that the Su family had problems with their raw materials, they were filled with fear and worry, and on top of that, their wages were withheld.
When Qin contacted them, they were tempted, but they were also worried that it was fake news and that they would have nowhere to go if they left the Su family. But after seeing the white flowers, they knew that the news was true.
“We are willing to leave Su’s Cloth Shop, but if we leave now, our wages will definitely be withheld…”
The oldest female worker looked at Qin Shi with worry. The Su family had been in great turmoil lately, with wages being reduced again and again. Su Changshui, who had been supervising the work for a month, had been extremely harsh in deducting wages.
The dissatisfaction in my heart had been building up for a long time, but I also had concerns about going to the new fabric shop.
Qin looked at Zhanqi, indicating that she would leave everything to him and follow his ideas.
Zhan Qi understood what he meant, and he said calmly, "You don't need to worry about the wages. I will increase the amount by half on top of what the Su family gives you. I will pay you a month's wages in advance so that you can support your families. But I need people urgently, and I must see them in three days."
"Since the boss is so agreeable, we are relieved. Please rest assured, we sisters will be there in three days to await your arrangements."
The female workers were satisfied with the result.
The wages of textile workers are roughly the same across all families. However, the Su family has been unstable these past few months, frequently trying to cut wages. If their wages were increased by half, that would be a great thing.
It used to be forty coins a day, but now it's sixty coins a day. What more could you ask for?
After the discussion was settled, Zhanqi, Qin Shi, and the female workers parted ways.
Zhanqi escorted Qin back to her shop and then left.
With Qin coming to help, Zhang got to rest.
After closing the shop, the family went home together.
Qin Yulin returned even earlier, and during dinner that evening, he said that everything had been taken care of.
"So when should we make our move?"
Qin Yulin asked.
"The night after tomorrow."
Qin said without hesitation.
"Then let's stay at the shop tomorrow and not come back. It'll be easier to get things done in the next few days."
Qin Yulin said while eating.
Qin nodded.
Zhang instructed, "You siblings must be extra careful."
The two smiled at Zhang and nodded.
"Little sister, I wish you all the best."
Ms. Zhao smiled and said that she was pregnant and there were many things she couldn't help with, but her blessings were sincere and heartfelt.
"Thank you, Sister-in-law."
Madam Qin smiled slightly; with all the preparations she had made, she was certain that it would succeed.
She needed to finish these things quickly so that her precious baby could rest and recover in peace.
After tidying up, I went back to my room to rest.
Madam Qin dreamt of Qin Jin'an. She smiled and hugged Qin Jin'an in her arms: "My darling, Mother will come to take you home in a few days, okay?"
Qin Jin'an nodded obediently in Qin Shi's arms: "Okay, Mother, come and take me home."
In a few days, once the fabric shop is destroyed, she should go home.
She took back everything from the Su family, except for one person.
He should be back in a few days, and taking back the good fortune from him will be a piece of cake.
After a while, the cloth shop will be destroyed, and the last person who owned it will be able to go home.
Qin Jin'an leaned against the Qin family member and fell asleep to a soothing melody.
The next day, Qin and Qin Yulin entered the city and stayed at the shop. They had already prepared to burn the cloth shop's items.
The two began to meticulously refine their plan to ensure there were no oversights.
The final decision was to take action on the evening of November 11th.
As night fell, a group of monkeys silently entered the city, obeying the commands of a black-faced monkey.
They carried small bottles from one place to a designated spot, smashed water tanks, and finally, under Jinwei's instructions, threw out the fire and quickly left.
They had to rush to the next place, working together to pour oil, break the water tank, cut the rope, and set it on fire!
As the fire spread, the people guarding the cloth shop tried to put it out, only to discover that the water in the water tank was all gone, and the tank had broken at some point.
They could only watch helplessly as the cloth shop was engulfed in flames.
The steward hurriedly ran to the Su residence to report.
Su Changshui wasn't even in the mansion; he was probably having fun somewhere else.
The servants could only report to Liu and Lian.
Upon hearing the steward's report, both Liu and Lian were completely bewildered: "How could this happen?"
The steward wiped the sweat from his brow: "We don't know how the fire started either. When will Third Master be able to come and deal with it?"
