Chapter 146 Interpersonal Communication in the City
Song Sanniang couldn't help asking, "Why did your grandfather do this? He could even kill his own grandson?"
Jin Zhaohua was silent for a while, then sneered, "Why? Of course it's because he was unwilling to accept it. He lost his position as the head of the family because of that woman.
He didn't think it was his fault, but instead put the blame on my father, thinking that my father had taken his place and was not acting like a grandfather to us.
That was why my great grandfather was furious. He felt that he was narrow-minded and irresponsible. He was worried that he would ruin the Jin family's business, so he just let him live in luxury at home.
He had been holding a grudge against this matter for a long time, and wanted to fight for his son and grandson whom he truly loved before he died.
If they succeed, my uncle and his men can take the money and leave Xiantao Mansion to live somewhere else.
If we fail, he is my father's father, our grandfather, and no matter how much we hate him, we can't do anything to him.
What a pity, just because I can't do anything to him doesn't mean I can't do anything to my uncle and his family.
As soon as the incident with Zhengren happened, my father and my brother informed the elders of the clan that my uncle had been expelled from the family and was kicked out with only a small amount of gold and silver.
However, we were kindhearted, so although we did not let his wife and two children stay at home, we did find a place for them to stay.
As for that woman, she was not included in the family tree. The elders of the family divorced her on behalf of my grandfather. She will be well "taken care of" in prison."
Song Sanniang sighed when she heard this. Fortunately, Jin Zhaohua and the others' great-grandfather was reliable. Otherwise, if they really had such a grandfather, who favored his concubine and killed his wife, and even did not hesitate to harm his own descendants, the Jin family would sooner or later fall into the hands of such a person.
Jin Zhaohua said with a smile, "Luckily you are here this time, otherwise Zhengren might really give in. Our Jin family owes you a favor. You can come to us anytime if you have any trouble."
Song Sanniang shook her head. "I guess that person couldn't even leave the courtyard with Young Master Zhengren. I just happened to catch up with him."
Jin Zhaohua didn't care about that and held her hand, "Hey, don't be so modest. It's because you sent us something with all your heart that Zhengren has the opportunity to use it. When are you free? I want to invite you to our house for dinner. You've never been to our house before."
Song Sanniang had no choice but to tell her that she would find a time to visit the Jin family. Only then did Jin Zhaohua go upstairs with satisfaction.
Soon Song Sanniang went upstairs to greet Jin Zhengan and the others, and Jin Zhengan's serious expression softened a little.
As the elder sisters of Young Master Zhengren, Jin Zhaoyi and Jin Zhaotong both thanked Song Sanniang very solemnly.
Song Sanniang didn't want to make things so serious, she thought it was not a big deal, so she just laughed it off with them. After this incident, the relationship between Song Sanniang and the Jin family became closer.
About a week later, someone from Master Tan's office came to inform Song Sanniang that the furniture she had ordered was ready and could be delivered at any time.
So Song Sanniang went directly to Master Tan. This time when she went there, Master Tan was there. Seeing Song Sanniang coming, he greeted her with a smile, "Song Sanniang is here. Are you here to look at furniture?"
"Yes, I came to take a look and arrange the delivery with you. I want you to deliver it to the dock and I will ship it away by boat." Song Sanniang replied.
"Okay, you decide when you want to ship it away and talk to Shopkeeper Tang."
So Song Sanniang arranged to be sent to the dock the next morning. Then Master Tan invited Song Sanniang to his study. He smiled and said to her,
"Song girl, you don't know that the 50 beds we made before have all been sold out, and the orders are now scheduled until next month.
Even other farms have placed orders with us to let their workers and tenants sleep in our bunk beds. "
Song Sanniang was also happy when she heard this. "This is a good thing, but the orders are so full, will there be enough time?"
"It's still in time. My guys are working hard to make it. But I don't dare to take more orders now, for fear that I won't be able to make it in time."
Master Tan couldn't help but feel a little proud. Although the price of the bunk bed was not very high, it was not as high as some furniture made of precious wood.
But the quantity is large, the cost is low, and it is not difficult to make, so you can make a lot of money no matter how you calculate it.
So Song Sanniang discussed several new styles with Master Tan. The bunk bed can be made into a bed with a table underneath, a staggered bed, or a bunk bed.
The two spent most of the day discussing just these few styles. Song Sanniang stayed at Master Tan's house for dinner. The three women in the Tan family were the happiest to see Song Sanniang.
This time, Song Sanniang finally met Master Tan's eldest son and his family, his second son's wife, and her three-year-old son. Seeing a stranger, the three children looked at Song Sanniang curiously.
Master Tan introduced to Song Sanniang his eldest son Tan Hong and his daughter-in-law Bai, his two sons, eight-year-old Tan Lingping and six-year-old Tan Lingan, and his second daughter-in-law Guan and her son Tan Lingchang.
Song Sanniang also greeted them one by one. Tan Hong had heard a lot about Song Sanniang from his father before, and he himself had made furniture designed by Song Sanniang.
It was the first time he met Song Sanniang. He was so interested in her that he kept talking to her, which made it impossible for the other three women in the Tan family to talk to her. Even his wife was a little unhappy.
Song Sanniang thought he was a bit silly, and it seemed that he had not learned the shrewdness of Master Tan. She had no choice but to change the topic to Bai, Guan and the children. Soon the atmosphere at the dinner table became lively.
"Aunt Song, it's settled then. You should bring a few sisters-in-law and your brothers and sisters to Tian Mi Mi to sit with them. My two sisters are about the same age as them, so we can play together." Finally, Song Sanniang and the female relatives agreed to go to Tian Mi Mi.
The next day, Song Laoer and his daughter went to the dock in advance to book a cabin, and then waited for Master Tan's people to deliver the furniture.
Several vehicles loaded with furniture arrived at the dock. The guys and boatmen all helped to move the furniture onto the boat. After everything was done, everyone was sweating. Song Sanniang gave everyone ten cents for their hard work.
Song Laoer followed the ship to the county town and wrote a letter to Qin Haodong yesterday, asking him to help arrange for someone to meet the ship at the dock and then deliver the furniture to Songjia Village.
Song Sanniang did not go with them because she had invited the women of Master Tan's family to come to the store and she certainly could not be absent.
She thought about Si Niang, Niu Qianqian, and Niu Zhuangzhuang. It was not a good thing for them to stay bored in the store every day. She wondered whether she should hire a teacher to teach them together with the children of the Tan family.
Now that Qin Haodong has arrived in the provincial capital, the teaching in the store has been suspended. Thinking of this, Song Sanniang felt that it was time to hire a teacher.
