Chapter 312 I Will Give It If I Want
Song Yuntang just thought it was a joke and didn't care about the Lin family.
She came to Heyang Street and stood in front of the former Yujun Pavilion. What she saw was the mess on the ground. Looking at this first shop she opened, she felt quite emotional.
If Lin Zhaozhao hadn't destroyed it, she would have kept the shop here forever. Even if Manager Yuan didn't want to run the inn anymore, she could have rented or bought it.
Unfortunately, it was smashed by Lin Zhaozhao.
But it doesn’t matter, she will open many Yujun Pavilions in Daxia in the future.
Song Yuntang walked forward and picked up the plaque of Yujun Pavilion. He turned around and was about to leave, but saw a thin girl rushing out from Hefeng Yahang not far away.
"Cousin, save me!"
Tu Shi reacted quickly, thinking it was a bad guy, and hurriedly protected Song Yuntang.
The manager and servants of Hefengyahang ran out closely behind the girl.
"Stop, don't run!"
Seeing this, the girl hurriedly knelt down in the direction of Song Yuntang.
"Cousin, it's me, Nian'er, don't you remember me?"
Song Yuntang was a little surprised.
It seemed that he didn't expect to meet Cheng Nian'er here.
The people from Hefengyahang caught up with them, and two servants immediately subdued Cheng Nian'er.
The steward looked at Song Yuntang apologetically, "Miss Song, I'm really sorry. The new girl is ignorant. I hope I didn't hurt you?"
Song Yuntang shook his head, "No problem."
He turned to look at Cheng Nian'er, "Why are you here at Hefeng Dental Clinic?"
Cheng Nian'er cried and said, "My mother wanted to sell me to an old man in his 40s or 50s from the neighboring village. I didn't want to, so I ran away three days ago. Because I couldn't find a place to stay, I had no choice but to sell myself to Hefeng Yahang to seek shelter. Today, I happened to be in charge of sweeping the front hall, but I didn't expect to see my cousin's wife here."
Song Yuntang raised his eyebrows.
"Aren't you less than thirteen?"
According to normal procedures, a woman must be at least 15 years old to get married.
Some people who love their daughters will keep them until they reach adulthood before marrying them off.
Thirteen was going to sell someone, and that was an old man in his forties or fifties. Xu Cui was really cruel.
Cheng Nian'er sniffed, looking aggrieved.
"My mother said that an old man in the neighboring village likes girls aged twelve or thirteen. The price of grain has risen recently, and my family is often hungry. The old man is willing to pay six taels of silver. When my grandmother and mother saw the silver, they both agreed. Originally, they were going to send me to the neighboring village today."
The manager nearby was stunned.
"Miss Song knows Nian'er?"
Song Yuntang nodded and said, "She is the daughter of my husband's aunt's family. We are cousins."
After hearing this, the steward hurriedly asked the servant to let Cheng Nian'er go, and looked at Song Yuntang with a smile.
"Look here, the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, didn't it? It turns out that Miss Song and Nian'er are cousins. Miss Song, do you want to take her back?"
Song Yuntang glanced at Cheng Nian'er, who was looking expectant. "I think she can't do much work with her small arms and legs. Why don't you name a price? If the price is right, I will buy her."
The boss raised his hand.
"Five taels of silver."
Cheng Nian'er said hurriedly, "I only sold it to you for three taels of silver, and you raised the price by two taels after just two days?"
The boss chuckled.
"Businessmen do business to make money. Of course, there must be a profit after buying and selling." He smiled at Song Yuntang, "Miss Song is also a businessman, she should understand this principle."
Song Yuntang said indifferently, "Four taels. If it works, I'll buy it. It's worth it to earn one tael in two days. If it doesn't work, I have to rush to the county town, so I won't accompany you."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Cheng Nian'er became anxious.
The person in charge also became anxious.
Business hasn't been good recently. Even the smallest bit of meat is still meat.
"Okay, four taels is four taels. Come with me to sign the contract, and I'll find Nian'er's indenture contract and give it to you."
"good."
Song Yuntang followed the manager to the pawnshop, and the handover was completed quarter of an hour later.
It is already Wei time.
It takes nearly two hours to take a horse-drawn carriage from Cile Town to Anyang County, and it would probably be dark by the time we reach the county seat.
"Tu Shi, go get a carriage. I'll wait for you here."
"yes."
Tu Shi responded and trotted away.
Song Yuntang turned to look at Cheng Nian'er, who was half a head shorter than her and was carrying a bag on the side.
"Nian'er, what are your plans next?"
Cheng Nian'er knelt down towards Song Yuntang.
"Since my cousin has bought Nian'er, I am willing to follow her. From now on, she will be my master, and I am willing to serve her like a slave."
Song Yuntang thought that she would need someone to accompany her when she walked outside anyway.
It would be a good idea to keep Cheng Nian'er by your side for the time being and observe her first.
If she is a good person, keep her and wait until she reaches the marriageable age, then prepare some dowry and marry her off. If not, send her away.
"Just in case your mother comes to ask me for you, I will keep your indenture for the time being and return it to you after you get married."
Cheng Nian'er bowed.
"Thank you, cousin."
Soon, Tu Shi came with the coachman driving the carriage.
Song Yuntang and Cheng Nian'er got on the carriage and headed towards the county town.
But before they left the town, they were stopped by a carriage.
"Hey, Song Yuntang, you're really being mean. I haven't seen you for such a long time, why haven't you come to see me?"
Hearing the voice, Song Yuntang smiled slightly.
She lifted the curtain and looked at Jiang Surao in the carriage in front of her.
"How did Miss Jiang know that the person in the carriage was me?"
Jiang Su Rao nodded in the direction of Tu Shi and said, "Look, our two farms are next to each other. I saw him at the farm. He helped us and took away a lot of taro."
Tu Shi mentioned this matter, and Song Yuntang also knew about it.
"When Tu Shi told me before, I was thinking that I would thank Miss Jiang when I saw her."
Jiang Surao waved her hand.
"You don't need to thank me. He helped us. I'll give him what I want." Then she asked, "Where are you going?"
"We are going to the county town, where is Miss Jiang?" Song Yuntang asked back.
"I want to go to the county town, too." Jiang Surao said, rather annoyed. "That idiot Lin Zhaozhao ruined her fiancée, and somehow this marriage fell on my head for no reason. I'm just about to go to the county town to ask Yang Linyuan what his plan is."
It’s not that she looks down on the other person’s family background.
Rather, the other party’s family background is much higher than his own.
Their Jiang family has quite good wealth and power in Cile Town, but it is far inferior to the Yang family.
What's more, she and Yang Linyuan had met no more than three times.
They were not a good match and they were just acquaintances, so she was quite surprised to learn that this marriage had fallen on her.
