After entering the store, Ji Changying looked around. The shop on two floors covered an area of 200 square meters. It was usually business hours, but now it was empty and idle.
I don’t know if the business is bad or the money tree has no intention of being run, but it’s such a waste to leave it like this.
Soon two figures came hurriedly from the backyard. The person in front was slightly fat and short. He held his stomach with both hands and walked hurriedly with an anxious look on his face.
Following closely behind him was the shopkeeper Wang, who had a small mustache and was of the same build.
When the money tree saw the person coming, it couldn't help but sigh: "Why is it a little girl?"
Ji Changying raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong with the little girl?"
Money Tree's energy seemed to have drained out of him as he slumped down on the chair. "I thought it was the prince! I didn't expect it to be a little girl!"
"Forget it, just tell me what you know. I won't let you make this trip in vain. I'll give you some reward regardless of whether the news is true or not."
The money tree waved his hands in disappointment, signaling Ji Changying to speak quickly, and then left.
Shopkeeper Wang stood at the back and said worriedly, "This is the 208th one! You have to listen to the content before deciding whether to give the reward. Otherwise, no matter how wealthy you are, you won't be able to bear it, sir!"
The money tree glared at him and said, "My son is almost gone. Who am I going to give all this wealth to? I won't hesitate to pay anyone who can provide me with any information about my son!"
Ji Changying slowly sat down on the chair: "Is it a gold ingot?"
The money tree sat up straight when it heard its son's name, but collapsed again when it thought of something.
Since the other party was here to get the reward, it was not surprising that he knew his son's name.
"Speaking of which, the day I met Jin Yuanbao was at Wuhe Mountain! He actually tried to rob me. Do you think I'm someone he can rob? Of course I caught him!"
"Before I could do anything, he confessed everything. He said his family was from the Xizhou Jin family, and his father was very rich. He was their only son, and he was worth millions!"
Hearing about Wuhe Mountain, Money Tree unconsciously sat up straighter: "What happened next?"
"And then? Who would believe that? If it was true, as he said, that a son was worth a fortune, why would he have been taken up the mountain? He looked skinny and didn't seem wealthy. And he said he was blessed and it just vanished!"
After saying this, Ji Changying glanced at the money tree.
His lips trembled, and he looked a little excited: "My son! It's my son! It must be my son!"
"Damn you bitch! Not only did you find an adulterer behind my back, but after you found out you were pregnant, you even drove my son out of the house and sold him off! Even if you die, I'll never be able to forgive the hatred in my heart!"
The money tree pounded the table angrily, with an indignant look on its face.
Ji Changying's eyes lit up. She had never thought that the Jin family had such a melodramatic family ethics drama. "Can you tell me more about it?"
Money Tree had heard the news about gold ingots countless times in the past six months, but this time he felt it was true.
He raised his son to be plump and white since he was young, and told him that this was a blessing for both of them.
Unfortunately, he hasn’t seen him for more than half a year, and not only has his son’s blessing disappeared, but even most of his own blessings have disappeared.
The money tree lifted its belly, which had shrunk three times, with melancholy, hesitated for a moment, and dismissed the shopkeeper before speaking.
"This is a family scandal."
"I originally thought that Yuanbao should find a wife when he was old enough. It would be difficult to handle many things without a woman in the backyard, so I found him a stepmother."
"I thought the woman was quite obedient, so I married her. In the first two years after we got married, she was indeed obedient and fulfilled her duties as a mother. I gradually let down my guard..."
The result was that when he was out inspecting the shop, the bitch and her adulterer drugged and sold his son!
By the time he returned home, everything was a foregone conclusion. When he was about to execute that bitch, she shamelessly told him that she was pregnant with their child.
Speaking of the money tree, he became even angrier. He and his first wife were childhood sweethearts. Long before his first wife passed away, he drank a bowl of sterilization soup in front of her and promised his first wife that Yuanbao was the only son he would have in this life.
How could that bitch be pregnant with his son!
But it was naturally difficult to tell this to others. The money tree hesitated for a moment and thought that she had been cuckolded, so she was anxious to find her biological son.
"Girl, my money tree will only have a son for the rest of his life. As long as you are willing to tell me about Yuanbao, I will agree to anything you ask for!"
The money tree said sincerely.
Ji Changying chuckled: "How can you be sure that your son is still alive?"
Money Tree showed an extremely flattering and attentive smile on his face: "Miss, you are kind-hearted and you came here specifically to send someone to deliver a letter to me. If Yuanbao wasn't here, why would you go to all this trouble? Is he okay now? Why didn't you send any letters home? Is it inconvenient for him?"
Ji Changying thought this Mr. Jin was interesting: "Okay, what you said does make some sense. Your son is alive and well, but... "
She touched her stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry now. You guys are such a big restaurant, you won't even offer us a meal, right?"
"I want it!"
Money Tree agreed repeatedly, turned around and shouted to Shopkeeper Wang outside the door, "Go and prepare a good meal for the girl!"
Hearing that they were having a pleasant conversation inside, Manager Wang ran to the back and called the chef over, who used all his skills to prepare a table full of his signature dishes for Ji Changying.
The money tree was waiting there with a smile on his face, constantly asking Ji Changying when she met Jin Yuanbao and what he was like when she met him.
Seeing that the other party was anxious about his son, Ji Changying did not play tricks on him and told him in detail what happened at Wuhe Mountain.
The more Money Tree listened, the darker his face grew, and the more he gnashed his teeth in hatred, "I originally thought I'd just sold the ingots to a remote village, but I didn't expect that vicious woman to make my son suffer neither death nor life! If I had known, I wouldn't have let her..."
It was such an easy death that the money tree was so angry that it wanted to slam the table.
"Boss Jin, don't worry too much. Perhaps your son has found another destiny. Although I don't know why your son hasn't written to you to let you know he's safe, I'm sure there must be a misunderstanding between you. I've already sent a letter to a friend explaining the situation and asked your son to write back to you."
The money tree was delighted: "That would be great if that were true!"
"Well, I'm not working for nothing. I'm in need of two shops for my business. Here's the title deed to Wanfu Building in Gan County, and your shop. I think it's pretty good."
Ji Changying took out the deed to the shop in Gan County and placed it on the table, then looked around the restaurant again.
The money tree feels a little painful.
