Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 166 Night Talk

Everyone worked in the kitchen for a while, and then let Si Niang and the other children take turns to take a bath. Song Lao Er carried a copper basin to the intersection to burn the remaining incense, candles, gold ingots and paper money.

To be honest, on a dark night with a little frost, a person squatting at the intersection burning paper money would be a bit creepy if others saw it from afar, because this kind of scene usually only occurs during the Qingming Festival and the Zhongyuan Festival.

When Song Laoer came back from burning paper money, everyone in the village went home one after another. In addition to Song Laoer's family, there were Qin Haodong's three siblings, Song Ergu and Song Sangu and a few others.

Because there were so many people, the children were given priority when bathing, followed by the women, and finally the boys.

But everyone was still very polite. Knowing that Song Sanniang and her friends had bought two new tubs specifically for bathing, they filled buckets with water and then splashed water on each other.

"My uncle's soap is really useful. It washed away all the mud on my body. I feel so smooth after washing." Li Xian said with a smile while rubbing the bubbles on his body.

"This is my first time using scented soap. No wonder it's so expensive. I heard that a little bit costs dozens of coins." Han Changguang said with a smile.

"When I make money in the future, I will buy you some soap to give you a bath." Li Qing, the elder brother, said seriously.

"Brother is so nice. I don't have to wait for you to make money. I can make money soon. I heard from Brother Qin that I can make 600 to 700 coins a month when I arrive in the capital.

I will buy it for you, my elder brother, and for my elder sister too, so that she can bring it to her in-laws when she gets married to make them proud. " Li Xian washed off the bubbles on his body with a ladle and said,

"Then you have to work hard, don't be lazy, and don't bring shame to our Li family and let my uncles and others look down on us." Li Qing instructed.

"I know who I am. I am trustworthy." Li Xian raised his head proudly.

"Where are we going to sleep tonight?" Han Changming asked curiously. Everyone was stunned for a moment. After a while, everyone finished washing.

"We don't have to worry about it. My uncle and his family will definitely make arrangements. We just need to follow their instructions." Li Qing finally said.

After everyone finished bathing, Song Lao Er was the last one to finish. He sealed the stove mouth with a brick to prevent the remaining firewood from falling out, and then returned to the hall.

The hall was bustling with activity. Aunt Song and her sisters-in-law were chatting happily. Han Zhuang and Qin Haodong were also talking enthusiastically. Old Second Song walked into the hall, closed the door, and asked, "What are you all talking about so happily?"

"Let's talk about when you two will have another child." Song Sangu joked. Unexpectedly, Song Laoer and Song Ersao's faces turned red. They were both an old couple.

Although they wanted to have a child, they were both busy, and since they lived together in the shop, the sound insulation was not good, so the couple fell asleep as soon as they lay down.

"The children are here, what are you talking about?" Aunt Song tried to smooth things over and changed the subject, "Your house is so big, you need to raise a few dogs to guard it, otherwise it will be bad if someone climbs in over the wall."

"Second sister, you are right. We have one in our old house. We will bring it here tomorrow. I will go to the village tomorrow to see if there are any more and catch two more." Song Lao Er sat down and replied. It was getting dark and it was time for everyone to go to bed.

Mrs. Song thought about it and decided that there was only one guest room on the first floor, so she would let Han Zhuang and his two sons sleep there.

There are two guest rooms on the second floor, one for the Qin Haodong brothers and one for the Li Qing and Li Xian brothers.

Si Niang and Wu Niang slept together, Song Ergu and Song Sangu slept in Wu Niang's room, Qin Yuanyuan slept with Song San Niang,

After the arrangements were made, Song Ersao took out the extra sheets and quilts she had bought, and Song Ergu and the others helped make the bed.

Then everyone went back to their rooms to sleep, but no one fell asleep so quickly tonight. Everyone chatted on the bed.

"Wife, do you think we should continue to have children?" Song Lao Er suddenly asked Song Ersao while lying on the bed.

"I want to give birth to a boy. When he grows up, we can support Sanniang and the others when we are old." Song Ersao's thoughts are still the most common thoughts nowadays.

"When the child grows up, Sanniang's children will already be as old as the fourth child, and they will still support her. It's almost the same as Sanniang supporting him." Song Laoer said with a smile.

"What if it's a girl?" Song Ersao didn't favor boys over girls, but she was still traditional and wanted a boy so she wouldn't have to have more children.

"Girls are girls, girls are great, look at Sanniang, Si Niang and Wu Niang, which one of them is disobedient? Besides, we have money now, we can afford to support them, so we are not afraid.

If it's a boy, this family business was created by his sister. If Sanniang gets married in the future, she can take whatever she wants, and we can earn his. "Song Lao Er said as he blew out the lights.

If Song Ersao were any other mother, she would probably jump up and scold Song Laoer, but she had endured hard times and knew that the good life now was really brought by her daughter.

So she didn't think there was anything wrong with what Song Laoer said, and she also knew that her daughter would definitely make the best arrangements.

In the room where Han Zhuang and his two sons were, Han Zhuang asked, "What did you two talk about with that kid Qin today?"

"Dad, we talked a lot, about how my uncle and his friends used to make money by setting up stalls, and what I will do when I get to the store. He also taught me how to deal with customers." Han Changming said happily.

Han Zhuang's lips curled up after hearing this. "Then you should do as he says. This is a good opportunity. Many people can't go to the capital city once in their lifetime."

"Got it, Dad." Han Changming replied.

"Dad, I want to go to the city, too." Han Changguang's voice sounded a little aggrieved.

"There is only one position now, and you are the eldest brother. Everything in the house will be yours from now on. Don't fight with your younger brother. If your younger brother is promising, he will definitely support you as the eldest brother."

"Yes, brother, don't worry, I will make money to help you find a wife." Han Changming said sincerely.

Han Changguang still felt uncomfortable. Thinking of going to the prosperous and respectable city, where he would have to stay in the mountains all day, he kept silent.

Han Zhuang knew that his eldest son, as the eldest son, was praised a little too highly by everyone, so he ignored his emotions and let him be, because people are like this, you can only gain if you give, and you can't have it all.

Upstairs, Si Niang and Wu Niang were also chatting. "I won't sleep with you tomorrow. I want to sleep alone." Wu Niang rolled on the bed and said excitedly,

"That's great, I can sleep by myself. You always put your feet on me when you sleep." Si Niang also rolled over. The two sisters here imagined the freedom of separation.

Over there, the two brothers Li Qing were also whispering, "Brother, I'm a little scared. What if I don't do well in the store?" Li Xian said, looking at the ceiling of the bed.

"What's there to be afraid of? Just do as Brother Dong said. It's nothing more than being more enthusiastic, more efficient, doing more and talking less. If you don't understand, just ask people. I think my uncle and his family are all very good people."

Li Xian felt more at ease after hearing this, so he talked to Li Qing about other things.

Second Aunt Song and Third Aunt Song were both sighing, "This room is so big, a child's room is almost as big as my yard." Second Aunt Song blew out the candle on the table and walked back to the bed in the dark.

"Yeah, when can we live like this? I don't expect to live that well, it would be enough to have a first floor." Aunt Song sighed.

No matter what everyone said or thought, as the lights in the rooms went out, everyone gradually fell asleep. Only the lights in the yard and the hall remained on. The new house had to remain brightly lit for three days.
