Qin San Niang nodded, indicating that she understood. This was extremely clear in the few fragments of the original owner's memories.
Even to an outsider like her, it was clear that Madam Qin was a hypocrite who outwardly complied but inwardly betrayed her, and who would kill with a blunt knife.
Even the poor Da Wa couldn't help but twitch a few times as he recalled that seemingly distant memory.
After Wang Erlang finished eating and drinking, he didn't think about bringing food for his family. He only took a piece of red date cake, saying he wanted to give it to his son as a treat. Qin Sanniang knew that he had a hard life, and if Qin Shi and the others found out that he had seen her, she didn't know what kind of bloody storm would rage on.
After Wang Erlang left, Da Wa looked rather listless.
Qin San Niang thought for a moment, could it be that she missed her grandfather? Just now Wang Erlang had said that her grandfather probably didn't have much time left to live, and his mind had become increasingly unclear these days.
"Da Wa'er, what's on your mind? Are you missing your grandfather?" Qin San Niang asked softly. In her opinion, Da Wa'er was her child, and he should speak his mind. There was no need for family members to guess each other's thoughts.
The eldest child nodded and then shook his head. "Mother, I can't explain it either. Actually, I hate him. If he hadn't been so heartless, we wouldn't have had to suffer so much!"
Well, although the child harbored some resentment, he was, after all, his own grandfather, a blood relative by blood. However, she had no idea what Old Man Wang truly felt for the children. Therefore, until the eldest child came to his senses, she wouldn't allow the grandfather and grandson to meet, also to protect the child as much as possible.
"My dear child, everyone has their own thoughts, and you can't judge others by your own standards. But blood ties can never be severed. If you want to see your grandfather, I will help you fulfill your wish."
However, if you want to support your grandfather, I probably can't help you.
Firstly, your grandfather now has a wife and children and doesn't need us; otherwise, he wouldn't have abandoned us. Secondly, your mother has no blood relation to him; on the contrary, when they abandoned me and fled alone, that little bit of family affection was already severed!
"So, to me, your grandfather and grandmother are no different from strangers. As for your uncle, I know he helped us, and since we have done him a favor, we should repay him," Qin San Niang said calmly.
She really had nothing to say about that family; they were never even on her radar. These words were probably what the original owner of the body wanted to express. That gentle, resilient, and sensible woman finally spoke her mind. Never before had Qin San Niang's heart been so calm.
“Mother, I know, I understand. I still want to see Grandfather, to ask him why he abandoned us. Aren’t we his grandchildren? Did he forget his promise to Father to treat us well?” Da Wa’s eyes suddenly reddened. The usually gentle child’s eyes were now filled with incomprehension, resentment and humiliation.
She gently patted her son's head. This silly boy, he still hasn't let go! But he needs to figure this out himself. As his mother, I can only guide him from the sidelines.
"Child, do you know that people might abandon their loved ones in a moment of crisis? Your grandfather might have thought that way at the time. But I want you to know that only by being strong and independent can you truly become peaceful and tolerant."
Our eldest son will grow up to be a remarkable gentleman, a righteous and passionate young man. He won't need anyone's protection, nor will he need to worry about being abandoned. Only then can he live with ease and freedom.
Knowing that inspirational soup would be most effective at this moment, Qin San Niang gave her child a bowl of chicken soup without any psychological pressure.
But the soup worked well, and the eldest child seemed to have finally understood. He lowered his head for a moment, then looked up and said, "Mother, after some time, I'll think about whether I should see Grandpa."
He knew perfectly well that if those bloodsuckers knew how well his family was doing, they would definitely try to get a share.
Although he believed his mother could handle it, he didn't want her to experience such a distressing situation. Besides, his daughter and son were still young; what would happen if that wicked stepmother, Qin, took them away from them?
The mother and daughter returned to Ruyi Cake Shop happily. They had come with important business, but they didn't expect to run into Wang Erlang and his wife, which almost delayed their business.
"Cao the accountant, Mu Chun, I came here this time to ask you to take some time to inquire whether there are any suitable shops for sale in He County. If the location is suitable, we will buy them!"
Cao Wenshan and Mu Chun exchanged a glance, then Cao Wenshan exclaimed in surprise, "Boss, does this mean our pastry shop is going to open a branch?"
"No, we're going to open a tavern," Qin San Niang said with a smile. In a little over a month, the sorghum liquor will be brewed. After distillation and aging, it will be ready to be sold.
Of course, after buying the shop, you still need to renovate it, which will take at least two or three months.
Huh? A tavern?
Cao Wenshan felt that the leap was really too big, and he almost doubted that there was something wrong with his ears.
However, Mu Chun remembered that his former employer had indeed planned to open a tavern. Taverns were very profitable, much more so than pastry shops! Just look at Chen Ji; they had fought tooth and nail with them over the pastry shop before, but now that they had opened a tavern, they were always putting on a disdainful and arrogant attitude, as if they, the tavern owners, were superior.
Mu Chun was unconvinced; the boss was mighty!
"Although it is said that good wine needs no bush, our store has just opened, and it would be bad if people couldn't find it. We still need to find a good location with a wide open space and high foot traffic."
Qin San Niang slowly explained her plans. Although she was confident in her wine, with the powerful He Yingyuan around, she had plenty of money and could find a suitable shop. Once the signboard was up, it would have a built-in advertising effect!
Both Mu Chun and the other person nodded, indicating that they would definitely inquire about it carefully.
Qin San Niang returned home satisfied. Before going home, she bought some delicious food for everyone, because she had actually seen someone selling mutton today!
She hadn't had mutton soup in a long time, as well as grilled lamb leg, mixed mutton, and mutton flatbread...
So, with a wave of his hand, he bought half a sheep! The eldest child was completely stunned!
He really wanted to tell his mother that this stuff was too gamey! It wasn't as good as offal. But then he thought, who is his mother? She can make offal delicious, so maybe this mutton will taste good too.
So they happily put half a mutton into a large bamboo basket, and laid an oiled paper underneath to prevent the oxcart from getting dirty.
The clattering of the oxcart, accompanied by the afterglow of the setting sun on the road, led all the way home...
