Before leaving, Chunxiao went to the farm again and saw the newly bought little boy who was a little lame. When the little boy saw the couple kneeling down to her, he also knelt down to her tremblingly. His clothes were clean, and his head and face were washed clean.
"Don't think about your old home anymore. Now you have new parents and live a good life again." She looked at the couple, "The same goes for you."
Wang Shiwen knew that she was leaving, so he took her to see the cellar he had secretly built. Wang Shiwen was a very careful person. If he hadn't dug up the vegetables, ordinary people would never have found the entrance to the cellar. This made Chunxiao think of hiding some silver again. The 50,000 taels of silver notes hidden at home had not been moved, and she still had 20,000 taels of silver notes on hand. She didn't need to buy anything on this trip, and having a few hundred taels on her was more than enough. If he didn't exchange it all at once, it seemed possible to exchange a thousand taels occasionally.
The main reason was that she knew that real gold and silver were the most solid currency in circulation. Besides silver, banks also had gold. If there was any hard currency, it would naturally be gold. Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated and returned home that same day. She took out 50,000 taels of silver notes and hid the 20,000 taels back to their original place. She handed the 50,000 taels of silver notes to Wang Shiwen, who was frightened. "Boss, so much money?"
"When you have time, take a few reliable people with you and ask them to go around and exchange some gold. They don't need to bring too much at a time, and they just don't want to attract attention. Also, be especially careful not to be targeted by others. Hide the gold they exchange in the cellar." Sure enough, hiding money is everyone's interest.
Wang Shiwen held a thick stack of banknotes. The boss gave him so much money, which showed his trust in him. "Don't worry, I promise to take care of it for you." He put the money away carefully. "Boss, we used to keep dogs on the farm. I thought we should catch a few dogs and keep them as pets. They can be used in critical moments."
Chunxiao was actually a little afraid of dogs, but it would be a good thing for such a large farm to have a few dogs. "Okay, you guys take care of them, but be careful not to let them hurt anyone."
On the second to last day of May, she, Yang Huaitian, and Xiaohua set off together.
"Auntie, the weather is so nice now, do you want to go out for some fun?"
"Huai Tian, where did you ship the cotton you took from your aunt to sell? Wanfeng?" Chun Xiao knew that many cotton merchants shipped the cotton to other places to make a profit from the price difference. This was the fastest way to make money, and Yang Huai Tian must have done the same.
"Yes, the price here in Tongzhou is good. I only raised the price by less than 30 wen at the beginning, but I didn't expect to make more money than I could have made in several years. Aunt, all this is thanks to you. If I hadn't met you, I don't know what I would be like now. You don't know that my mother passed away not long after I met you that year. We survived by relying on the money you and Shuwen gave us. Later, I worked as a peddler to slowly support myself and my sister. I thought that I would go to find you when I made money in the future, but I didn't expect to meet Shuwen and my aunt. I followed them to Pengdong without hesitation."
"You must have had a very hard time that year, but now it's finally over. Huaitian, do you know why I agreed to let you marry Shufeng?"
"Aunt, I thought you would object?" In fact, he had just had some luck in his heart before. After all, the two families were indeed too far apart, but things seemed to be going unexpectedly smoothly.
"Aunt likes your perseverance. You and Xiaoxue make a living together, but you have never thought of relying on others. Aunt especially appreciates this. You know, even if a person is poor, as long as he is willing to work hard and strive to make progress, his life will not be particularly difficult. Aunt was the same as you in the past. We were almost at the end of our rope, but Aunt refused to admit defeat, so we are what we are now. Aunt believes that Shufeng will have a good life with you in the future. You are no worse than anyone else, do you know!"
Yang Huaitian's eyes turned red as he faced the wind. "Aunt, thank you."
"This is all your own ability, why thank me?" Chun Xiao smiled. "Finding a good home for our Shufeng is what I, as her aunt, want to see. But you have to remember one thing: never neglect her for business. For a couple, companionship is the most important thing, especially with children."
"I've got that, Auntie." He wiped his eyes. "Auntie, I'm still planning to sell cotton this year, so I'm afraid I'll have to continue buying from you."
"Don't worry, we are family now. If I don't care about you, how can I care about others? If you don't mind the hard work, there are more lands in Hejian. You can spend some time to make a few more trips. Just don't delay the wedding."
"Thank you, Auntie!"
"I feel like we're destined to be together. You see, you've been calling me auntie since you first met me, not auntie or auntie. Now I've really become your auntie."
"Miss, why do they call you aunt? I've wanted to ask this before." When Xiaohua first met Yang Huaitian and Yang Xue, she thought they were also Chunxiao's relatives. Later she found out that they were just ordinary acquaintances.
"When we first met them, they were being beaten. We helped them, and then he started calling Shuwen aunt. That's how it was. Don't you think this was God's arrangement?"
"Miss, I think my meeting you was God's arrangement. Everyone who meets you has accumulated blessings in their previous life, and God has arranged for you to be with them in this life. It must be like this, because everyone who meets you lives a better life than before."
Chunxiao scratched Xiaohua's nose and said, "You never forget to flatter people wherever you go. You're even better at flattering than your sister."
