"I'll ask someone to take care of it."
Song He'er was speechless and somewhat incredulous. Jiang Huaifu's status as a prince had vanished with his faked death, so who would still give him face?
“I know what you’re thinking, but even though I’m just a commoner, I have friends and relatives in Nanzhao for over ten years. I can still ask someone to take care of this.”
"Then you shouldn't put yourself in danger for our sake. Just do what you can."
"I know what I'm doing."
Song He'er nodded, got out of the car, and walked towards Xiaoyangzhuang.
Upon entering, I saw Zhang Xiue sitting by the window, holding an account book and comparing the accounts.
"Third Aunt, why are you taking this so seriously?"
Zhang Xiue was startled. She looked up and realized it was Song He'er, then breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're back. How have you been eating in Nanzhao these past few days? I see dark circles under your eyes; you probably haven't been sleeping well."
Song He'er rubbed her eyes and replied with a smile, "I miss home tonight, so I can't sleep. By the way, where's my mother?"
At this time on ordinary days, Qin Xiaoniang would already be cooking in the courtyard, but she was nowhere to be seen today.
“Oh, some new soil has been turned over in the village, and your mother wants to plant some medicinal herbs. They’re not anything precious, but if we really open a herbal medicine shop, it will save us some money.”
Song He'er didn't expect that they were still thinking about the herbal medicine shop, but the most important thing right now was to move. Jiang Huaifu had already bought that piece of land, and now it was best to make use of it as soon as possible to avoid being targeted by the rich and powerful in the future.
Did Mother go by herself?
"He went with your third uncle. Sigh, speaking of your third uncle, he's really stubborn. I told him to keep track of the money in the accounts so that everyone would know what's going on, but he insisted on going along to dabble in some medicinal herbs. He was like a fire burning inside, wishing he could open a pharmacy right away. Back when I married into your Song family, I never realized he had any medical skills!"
As Zhang Xiue spoke, she suppressed her anger.
Song He'er glanced at the words on the ledger; they were crooked and twisted, like caterpillars crawling on them. Song He'er couldn't help but find it amusing.
"Has Third Aunt figured it out yet? How much money do we have in the accounts right now?"
Zhang Xiue thought carefully for a while, then replied calmly, "Hmm... no less than one hundred taels of silver in total."
"Have you made so much money from the steamed bun shop and the new store these days?"
"That's not all. We also paid back part of the money to Young Master Jiang. Including that part, the money we've earned is now considered upper-middle class in Xiaoye City."
Song He'er forced a smile. One hundred taels wouldn't be enough to settle down in Jiangning. After all, the land there was large and of good quality, so an ordinary house wouldn't be suitable. Including the cost of materials and the bricklayer's wages, it would cost more than double.
Looks like I'll have to pay for it myself again this time...
Or, should we sell the steamed bun shop?
Anyway, the new store is making more money now, so a few people will keep an eye on Xiaoye City, and the rest of the people will go to Jiangning to live.
After all, the children are growing up, and it's time to hire a tutor to teach them.
"He'er, you don't seem happy. Do you feel like we're not earning enough?"
Song He'er shook her head. "Third Aunt, I think we can go to Jiangning, buy a piece of land, and build a house. It would be better than staying in this village!"
......
Hey everyone, I've been busy with shop renovations lately, so I haven't had time to update. Sorry!
