Shen Qingyu was completely unaware of what was happening at home, and she was in an excellent mood today.
The newly opened shop sold out of all its stock!
Make a fortune!
After the courtyard I bought was renovated, I had the owner of the grain and oil shop deliver more than 20,000 catties of miscellaneous grains to it today.
After everyone left and the door closed, Shen Qingyu put all the grains into her spatial storage room without saying a word.
As soon as the items were put away, sure enough, the long-awaited upgrade notification sound rang out.
"Warehouse storage capacity is 100%, and the second storage capacity has reached 100%. Space upgrade in progress..."
"Hehehe!" Shen Qingyu was kicked out of the space with a happy mood.
Just as they reached the street corner, Yuqiao approached them: "Boss, when would you like to assign me some work?"
Shen Qingyu laughed: "Your little mouth is so sharp, it would be a waste of your talent to give you ordinary tasks. Just you wait."
Yu Qiao was immediately filled with both disappointment and anticipation: "Do we have to wait?"
"Almost there! Have you explained things clearly to your mother?" Shen Qingyu didn't want to be chased and scolded by a matchmaker who only knew how to talk.
Yu Qiao nodded, both smug and disdainful: "It's settled. As long as I take the money back, she doesn't care who I work for!"
"That's true." Shen Qingyu nodded knowingly, took out a small purse that she had prepared beforehand, and handed it over. "This is for you."
"For me?" Yu Qiao asked in surprise. She opened it and found a five-tael silver note inside!
"This... why are you giving me a silver note? I haven't even started working for you yet!" Yu Qiao was startled and hurriedly tried to return it.
Shen Qingyu smiled and pressed her hand down: "Who said you didn't work? You handled the renovation of this house from start to finish, I didn't have to worry about it at all."
"The child's father also came to see it and said the repair work was excellent and the price was very reasonable. Someone else might have charged forty or fifty taels of silver..."
At this point, Yuqiao's little tail perked up again: "I've been working as a middleman with my mother for the past two years, and I know people from all walks of life. We all know who the bricklayers and carpenters are skilled at and who charges fair prices."
"They wouldn't dare to overcharge, so we saved some money..."
Shen Qingyu suppressed a laugh: "Chengcheng! I know you're amazing, quickly put this little purse away!"
Yu Qiao then happily accepted the money: "Master is so generous! I'm relieved!"
Just as the two were about to say goodbye, an inconspicuous carriage rumbled over and stopped not far away. When Shen Qingyu and Yu Qiao approached, the coachman suddenly spoke up: "Madam Shen? Do you still recognize me?"
Shen Qingyu was taken aback and looked at the coachman. He looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, she realized that this was Lao He, the coachman of Qian Wanliang, the richest man in the prefecture.
"What are you doing here? Has your young master come?" Shen Qingyu asked, preparing to lift the curtain.
Old He quickly stopped them, lowering his voice and saying, "Madam Chen, please don't be in such a hurry. Our master and his wife are here, waiting for you two at the inn up ahead. They have some things they would like to discuss with you. Would you please come over and talk to them?"
What?
Mr. and Mrs. Qian have arrived?
Shen Qingyu was taken aback!
Yu Qiao was also taken aback: "You mean, there's me too? I don't know you! Whose are you?"
Shen Qingyu then realized what was happening. Seeing Lao He's troubled expression, she suddenly seemed to remember something and tugged at Yu Qiao's sleeve: "Don't be afraid, it's not a bad thing."
Yu Qiao trusted Shen Qingyu, and hearing her say that, she felt half relieved.
Then I realized, this is still in Hengshui Town!
I'm familiar with this place, so who would deliberately try to trick me?
And so the other half of his heart was at ease.
The two followed Lao He to the inn, but they went through the back door and went straight into the superior room.
"Mr. Qian, Mrs. Qian, it's been a long time!" Shen Qingyu greeted them first.
Yuqiao, not understanding why, obediently followed suit and greeted them, "Greetings, gentlemen and ladies. Did you call me here because there is something you need my help with?"
Ever since the two entered the room, Madam Qian's eyes have been fixed on Yu Qiao like hooks, and she can't take them off!
"You are... Yuqiao?" Even though Master Qian was rational, his voice trembled slightly.
Yu Qiao's heart tightened: "It is I."
"Have you ever seen this silver hairpin before?" Master Qian took out the magnolia-shaped silver hairpin.
Yu Qiao looked at the silver hairpin and nodded after a long while: "This... I saw it in my mother's jewelry box, but then it disappeared."
"What mother? She's just a beggar!" Madam Qian said angrily.
"What do you mean..." Yu Qiao was bewildered.
Mr. Qian sighed: "This is our daughter's silver hairpin, back then..."
After the explanation, Yu Qiao was dumbfounded, Madam Qian collapsed in tears, and Shen Qingyu supported Madam Qian, sweating and crying at the same time.
What a massive family reunion!
I'm so touched!
It turned out that Master Qian had someone investigate starting from the jewelry shops in Hengshui Town, and easily discovered that the silver hairpin had been taken to a jewelry shop and sold by Granny Chen, the biggest matchmaker and broker in Hengshui Town.
However, Granny Chen had not raised many girls over the years. Only after a thorough investigation did they discover that their own daughter had been raised by Granny Chen.
It's just because of Granny Chen's well-known selfishness that she's keeping her twenty-year-old daughter from getting engaged!
This does have its advantages. With the richest family in the prefecture as her mother's family, Yuqiao can find an even better husband's family when she remarries.
Yu Qiao looked at the round-faced Madam Qian and Master Qian in disbelief: "Are you saying that I am your daughter?"
Madam Qian pointed to Yu Qiao's waist and hips: "Girl, you have a round, brown mole on the back of your right hip, with a small dot in the middle that isn't brown but the color of your skin. The fortune teller said you're destined for wealth! Do you have a mole like that?"
Yu Qiao looked bewildered: "I don't know..."
She didn't have money to buy a peephole, so how would she know if she had a mole?
Shen Qingyu slapped her on the bottom: "What's so difficult about that? You'll know once you check!"
So Yuqiao, Madam Qian, and Shen Qingyu went to the inner room together.
A moment later.
"Waaaaah..."
"Waaaaah..."
The two women were wailing and crying together.
Shen Qingyu couldn't bear it any longer and came out wiping away her tears and sweat.
Mr. Qian looked both nervous and expectant: "How is it? What's going on?"
Shen Qingyu nodded: "Indeed."
Even Master Qian couldn't bear it anymore, and tears began to well up in his eyes.
He turned his head and wiped his face, then suddenly bowed deeply to Shen Qingyu!
Shen Qingyu was startled and quickly jumped away: "What are you doing?"
"Madam Chen, you are a great benefactor to my Qian family!"
"If you hadn't come to our house by sheer coincidence wearing this silver hairpin, we wouldn't have had any clues, let alone found my daughter..."
Shen Qingyu scratched her head: That's true.
If I hadn't bought this silver hairpin, I wouldn't have had this chance encounter.
If it weren't for meeting that foolish young master Qian Wanliang, he wouldn't have gone to the Qian family to cook, and naturally, that would have been the end of it.
This twist of fate is indispensable!
