Chapter 247 Meeting Mr. Lin for the First Time
Qian Bo reacted and stood in front of Song Yuntang again.
"Miss Song, the master has raised you for thirteen years. When you were in the Lin family, he treated you as his own daughter. I'm sure Miss Song can feel that although the master is a bit serious, he treats you and the other young masters with the same care."
Song Yuntang did not comment.
"I understand. After all, my parents truly treated Lin Zhaozhao as their own daughter."
During those years of identity exchange, I'm afraid no one would have thought that the girl they raised from childhood was not their biological daughter.
The Lin family only had one daughter, Lin Zhaozhao, given birth to by the mistress Zhuang Wenyin. Although they had two concubines, neither of them had children. The concubine who swapped her and Lin Zhaozhao's identities was fed a bowl of safflower by Zhuang Wenyin. Not only did she lose the baby in her belly, but she also injured her body and could no longer have children.
Although Lin Hongshen was cold and indifferent, he was indeed more tolerant towards the original owner who lived in the Lin Mansion.
"Miss Song, are you blaming the master for not showing up when Madam sent you back to the Song family?"
Qian Bo sighed, "In fact, the master was reluctant to part with the girl at that time, but he had no choice. In order to stabilize the emotions of the lady and Miss Zhao Zhao, he had to give up the idea at that time."
Three years.
It's not three days.
If Lin Hongshen really wanted to take care of the original owner's non-blood-related daughter, he would not have come to find her three years later.
So Song Yuntang didn't believe a word of what Qian Bo said.
"I don't blame Mr. Lin. My background is a fact that I cannot change. If I have to blame someone, I should blame Aunt Su for being so cruel that she separated the Lin and Song families for thirteen years." She looked at Qian Bo, "Since Lin Zhaozhao and I have returned to our respective positions, we should stop interacting in the future. It will be good for both me and her."
"This..." Qian Bo bowed to her with an embarrassed look on his face, "Please don't embarrass me, Miss Song."
As soon as he finished speaking, two servants from the Lin residence appeared behind Qian Bo without him noticing.
Looking at this situation, Song Yuntang frowned and looked a little displeased.
"If I don't go, is Qian Bo going to use force?"
Qian Bo winked at the two people behind him, asking them to stay a little further away, then turned to look at Song Yuntang and said, "The two servants are ignorant, please forgive me, Miss Song."
"Although I don't know why Mr. Lin is looking for me, I think it has something to do with Lin Zhaozhao. It's just that I don't want to compromise on this matter. If I go to the Lin Mansion, it will only make both parties unhappy. I hope Qian Bo will understand my difficulties."
After saying that, he walked around Qian Bo and the two servants behind him and headed towards Yujun Pavilion.
Qian Bo watched Song Yuntang leave, sighed, and led the servants back to the Lin Mansion.
…
Yujun Pavilion's total revenue for six days was seventeen taels. Although the profit was not much, it was good enough to be stable.
After all, people in the town have limited spending power.
"In August, Mu Dong delivered goods to the county town three times. He was promised an extra 50 wen subsidy for each delivery. Three times is 150 wen, plus 900 wen wages and 100 wen food subsidy per month, the total is 1 tael and 150 wen."
Song Yuntang said this and gave Mu Dong's wages to him.
"Thank you Miss Song."
The wage of one or two taels of silver was considered high in the entire Cile Town. Mu Dong held the silver in his hand, feeling extremely happy.
He was finally able to rely on his own abilities to provide his mother and sister with a life full of food.
"Mu Qiu's salary this month plus meal allowance is one tael of silver." Song Yuntang handed another tael of silver to Mu Qiu, "You two have received your August salary. Sell the goods well this month. If the revenue of the shop exceeds one hundred taels in September, I will give you two an additional commission of three taels of silver."
The brother and sister were so happy when they got their wages.
Hearing Song Yuntang's promise of three taels of silver again, he nodded repeatedly, "We will definitely try our best."
After finishing his work here, Song Yuntang went to Huajianzui again.
She was away for five days, but the revenue during these five days was not much lower than that of the first two days of opening. In addition, the food in the shop was special, and the limited number of 30 crispy chickens per day could be sold out in half an hour.
Fang Tianci handed over the thirty-seven taels of silver he had earned in five days to Song Yuntang.
His face was full of excitement. "Miss, our shop has been doing pretty good business these days. If we continue like this, we can make more than 200 taels a month."
Yujun Pavilion earned one hundred taels, Huajianzui earned two hundred taels, which adds up to three hundred taels. Excluding costs and labor, there is at least two hundred and twenty taels of net profit.
Earning more than two hundred taels of silver a month is considered a high income in a place like Cile Town.
After the revenue and staff in the shop were stable, she would slowly expand the shop and grow the business step by step.
Thinking of this, Song Yuntang looked at Fang Tianci with a smile.
"Work hard. If the monthly revenue exceeds 200 taels, I will give out 5 taels of silver as a reward to the five people in the shop, and appoint you as the shopkeeper of Huajianzui in advance. When the time comes, your salary will be increased by 500 wen."
After hearing this, Fang Tianci became very motivated.
"Don't worry, girl. I will work hard and live up to your expectations."
Xu Liangping adapted well to the shop. He was smart and a quick learner.
Fang Tianci taught him a lot of things in the past few days, including the job of paying the bills, and he never made any mistakes.
Song Yuntang heard Fang Tianci's evaluation of Xu Liangping and called him to the backyard.
"Ryohei, are you still able to handle the work in the shop?"
Xu Liangping nodded hurriedly, "I was so busy the past two days, but Brother Fang helped me a lot, and I've been feeling much better in the past two days."
Song Yuntang patted his shoulder.
"You should learn from Brother Tianci. I want to open a Huajianzui store in the county next year. I will definitely let you be in charge of one of the stores then."
Xu Liangping clenched his fists firmly.
"I will definitely study hard."
…
It was already past noon, and walking back to Lushan Village alone was not only unsafe, but it would be dark by the time I got home.
Song Yuntang decided to go back to the farm first and ask Tu Shi to harness the mule cart to take her back.
Just as I came out of Cile Town, I saw a familiar face.
"Chamber?"
After Qian Bo clasped his fists towards Song Yuntang, he pointed to the simple tea shed where Grandpa Sun, who drove the ox cart, often drank tea.
"Girl, the master has been waiting for you here for a long time."
Although Song Yuntang was extremely reluctant to see the Lin family, now they were blocking her way home. If she didn't go to meet them, she would seem a little ungrateful.
She came and sat down opposite Lin Hongshen, took a clean cup and poured herself a cup of tea, then turned to look at the middle-aged man in front of her who looked 50% similar to Lin Jingyao. It was her first time seeing him, and he looked exactly the same as the original owner remembered.
"I wonder what Mr. Lin wants to talk to me about?"
