Early the next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Sui Sui jumped onto the bed and pulled Fan Jin out from under the quilt.
Fan Jin was so confused that his hair stood on end.
"What are you doing?"
Sui Sui looked excited, not at all bothered by his slovenly appearance, "Let's go to the city and do business!"
"What kind of business are you doing? Isn't there a big brother in charge of the business in the shop? Do you still want to sell things by yourself?" As he said this, he fell down again.
"This is different. It's not something from our family. Dad and I hunted a bear and are going to sell it to Big Brother Wang." Sui Sui held him back, "Hey, don't sleep anymore. Hurry up and get up!"
Fan Jin half-closed his eyes and muttered, "If you want to go, go by yourself. I just came back yesterday."
"No! You can only ask for things when you're with me!"
This was the first time his mother had let him start his own business. This was a sign of her trust in him as he had grown up! Sui Sui was so excited, how could she let him refuse? She simply yanked Fan Jin onto the mule cart and drove him to the city.
He rode cows and mules on the farm, and occasionally horses, and he drove steadily and quickly.
Housekeeper Wang is old, his hair half white. He's been in charge of the house for the past few years, and he's gained some weight back. When he smiles, he's as kind and cheerful as a Buddha.
He invited the two in and poured tea. "The eldest son just went out today."
Fan Jin often came to Wang's house to play. Wang Wenxuan treated him well. They ate and slept together, and no one in the mansion treated him as an outsider.
The young master of the Jiang family often comes here and is not unfamiliar with this place.
Fan Jin picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth. His cheeks were puffed up, and his face was round and fair, looking like a teenager.
"When will he come back? We want to sell him something."
Sui Sui felt something was wrong, as if things were different when she was doing business with her elder brother. Her elder brother didn't speak so directly.
Steward Wang was surprised. "Young Master, are you planning to do business?" He added, "I don't know. I'll probably have to wait until noon."
After eating two pieces of cake and drinking a cup of tea, Fan Jin felt a little less hungry.
"Then please find some ice to cool down the bear in the mule cart. It's too hot, and I'm afraid it'll stink."
Oh my! A bear? Butler Wang was startled. "Did you hunt it?"
Sui Sui puffed out his chest, a look of pride on his face. He had just calmed down and looked like a composed adult, but now he was back to his old self. "My dad and I hunted this together!"
Only then did Butler Wang feel relieved. He had thought that the two naughty young men had secretly gone into the mountains to hunt while the family was away.
"Yes, Mr. Jiang used to be a hunter, quite a formidable one! Back in Shuntian City, our two families met through the trade of wild game. Mr. Jiang often hunted rare and large game!"
Speaking of this, Steward Wang couldn't help but sigh, "You can't judge a person by his appearance, and you can't measure the depth of the ocean." At first, he only thought the two of them were capable, but he never imagined that in just over a decade, the Jiang family, with no foundation at all, would almost be on par with his Wang family.
Not only the master, but also the eldest son had said that the Jiang family was well-off, they were just keeping a low profile. Although they only sold local products, they were so profitable that the whole city knew their products.
Not to mention the patches of herbal medicine fields, the largest medical clinic in the city relies on them.
The two of them got bored of waiting, so they went to Jiang's shop to have a look.
The five shops have all been rebuilt into a row of two-story houses, which look both grand and tidy.
Mr. and Mrs. Fan Bai managed the shop well, and Jiang Yue changed the monthly salary they received into a dividend model, and the couple made a lot of money.
Before, Fang Lu gave birth to a child and sent the child to be raised on the farm. The family only moved back to the city when the child was six years old.
Their daughter Xue'er always likes to run after her parents. According to the child's grandmother, such a pretty and lovely little girl has fallen into the trap of money since she was young. It must be because her mother was always plotting against her with an abacus when she was pregnant with her.
Fang Lu was quite proud of this. What's wrong with money? Without it, you can't get anywhere.
Sui Sui and Fan Jin, boasting they were grown up, stopped playing with the little girls and walked around the shop with their heads held high, calling it a shop inspection...
Fan Bai hasn't played Fan Jin for a long time and couldn't help but want to take a picture.
Seeing the signal, Fan Jin hurriedly took Sui Sui back to Wang's house. He happened to meet Wang Wenxuan, who was being urged to go home by a servant.
Wang Wenxuan had seen the giant bear when he was young, and the second one he saw now was sent by the Jiang family.
"Brother, we want to do business with you." Fan Jin laughed, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth. At this time, he looked more like a fox than a cat.
Suisui didn't say anything. His mother said that if he wanted anything, he should let his brother Jinjin ask for it. The Wang family would definitely be very happy to help.
Wang Wenxuan had just returned from a battle of wits and courage with some old foxes. He glanced at Fan Jin with a blank expression, "Do I need your food, clothing, and shelter? You still need to come home to do business."
Fan Jin was frightened by his glare and shrank his neck, but Sui Sui gently twisted his waist, reminding him not to back down.
He put away his smile and put on a serious expression, "Brothers should settle accounts clearly."
Wang Wenxuan repeated, "Brothers should settle accounts clearly."
"Yeah, that's right. We hunted this bear and you can't take advantage of it. If you don't want it, we can sell it to the clinic."
Wang Wenxuan slowly picked up the teacup to moisten his throat, not in a hurry to express his opinion.
These two have no patience at all.
Fan Jin went straight to the point and stated his purpose, "We want what the sea caravan brought back."
Butler Wang almost choked on his saliva and didn't know who was taking advantage.
"What do you want?"
Fan Jin looked at Sui Sui and asked in a low voice, "What did you say you wanted just now? I forgot."
