Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 180 Days Fly By

The two shops are located on either side of the river. One is a large shop with four rooms on the first floor and the second and third floors.

The first floor of the store has a total area of ​​about 100 square meters, of course including the backyard area. The second and third floors are also 30 to 40 square meters. You can overlook the scenery around the city from the second and third floors.

The shop was previously an inn, but the owner's son passed the imperial examination and became a county magistrate. The whole family planned to sell the shop and follow his son to take up his post.

The asking price for this house was 4,500 taels, but this price was inflated. Huang Gui said that the final price was about 3,000 taels.

Another shop with three rooms on the first floor and a second floor. The first floor has a total area of ​​about 100 square meters, and the second floor is about 50 square meters.

The shop was a restaurant before, and the business was pretty good, but the boss's son got addicted to gambling and gambled away all the family's belongings.

The boss had no choice but to sell his last shop and planned to take his family back to his hometown. The lowest price of the shop was about two thousand taels.

Song Laoer and Song Sanniang visited two shops. In fact, the layout of the shops is the same as most shops. There is a shop in front and a house in the back. There is a well in the backyard, a kitchen, a utility room and a room where the shop owner lives.

Considering that some customers like to dine in private rooms, Song Laoer and his daughter planned to buy the first three-story shop and turn the second and third floors into private rooms.

Without the involvement of Song Lao Er and his daughter, Huang Gui helped them lower the price to three thousand taels, so the two parties agreed to pay the money and sign the document the next day.

If it were in the past, Song Laoer's family would not be able to come up with three thousand taels at once, but since they opened a branch in the county town, and also had a takeaway business in the prefecture town, plus the share from Master Tan, it was not difficult for Song Laoer's family to come up with three thousand taels.

So the second Song family's property was expanded to include this shop in the city. The father and daughter took out the shop documents to show everyone at night. The whole family and Qin Haodong were all very happy.

Mrs. Song was still happy when she suddenly felt a little nauseous and her stomach was churning. She quickly ran to the sewer, squatted down and started vomiting, which scared everyone.

Song Sanniang brought her some hot water, and Qin Yuanyuan helped pat her back. It was already curfew, and Song Laoer couldn't even get a doctor. He could only stamp his feet anxiously.

After vomiting, Mrs. Song felt better. After drinking some hot water, she saw everyone's worried faces and could only comfort them.

"I'm fine. I might have caught a cold. The weather has been getting cold recently and I didn't pay attention to it for a while. I'll see a doctor tomorrow."

Although everyone was still worried after hearing this, they could only wait until the next day.

The next morning, Song Lao Er drove his car to take Song Ersao to the clinic for treatment. Song Sanniang and the others were worried and followed them.

When they arrived at the clinic, it was still early and there were few people in the clinic, so Mrs. Song was quickly diagnosed.

The doctor in the store was a white-haired old doctor. He first asked Song Ersao where she felt uncomfortable, then checked her expression, and then put his hand on her pulse and took her pulse carefully.

After a while, the old doctor smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. This is a happy event. You are pregnant. It's almost three months. Congratulations."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Song Lao Er was stunned for a while before he happily stepped forward to thank the doctor. The doctor did not prescribe any medicine, but only told the pregnant woman some things to pay attention to.

Finally, he said, "You've already given birth to three children. I don't need to tell you what to be careful of. It's almost three months now, and the fetus is stable. But you're getting old, so you still have to be careful."

In addition to paying for the consultation, Song Laoer also gave the doctor a big red envelope as a gift, because the old doctor said that the baby was pregnant with a son, the son that Song Laoer and his wife had been waiting for for a long time.

When Song Ersao found out, she burst into tears. She also cried at first because her mother-in-law despised her for not being able to give birth to a son for so long, but she stopped crying later.

Now that I know I have a son, I feel mixed emotions inside, and tears flow down my face unconsciously. Only after Song Laoer and his daughter consoled me did I stop crying and start laughing.

When she returned to the store, everyone knew she was pregnant and was happy for her. They didn't let her do much work in the store, so she could rest assured and take care of her baby.

But she felt bored because she had nothing to do all day, so Song Sanniang asked her to follow Si Niang and others to go to Master Hu's class. Every day, she listened to Master Hu's lectures and listened to her playing the piano and painting, which could be considered as prenatal education.

Song Ersao didn't know what prenatal education was, but she was happy to have something to do to kill time. Her belly was getting bigger day by day during the prenatal education.

Time passed quickly. After the opening of the new branch of Sweet Honey in Fucheng, Jin Zhaohua got married. She married the second son of the Fucheng Tongpan family.

Compared to the merchant family, she married up, but to the Tongpan family, she was actually marrying down, because she was rich, and if she relied on the relationship of the He family, she could marry a minor official as the main wife.

Tongpanjia was a new official who had only been in office for a year in Xiantao Prefecture. In order to gain a firm foothold in Xiantao and to have a chance of promotion in the future, he asked his second son to marry Jin Zhaohua, firstly for her money and secondly for her relationship with the He family.

The Jin family felt that they were worthy of the rank of Tongpan, and that they would need money to get promoted, so they could not offend Jin Zhaohua.

Although Zi is only a scholar now, he may be able to become a county magistrate in the future. A magistrate and a county magistrate can add a little more help to the He family, although they may not be of any use.

So the two sides are mutually beneficial and each has its own goals.

After Jin Zhaohua got married, Song Lao Da also set a date for Song Chunhua and her friends to get married. When Song Lao Da's three-day deadline came, Song Chunhua and her friends accepted the person their father had chosen for them.

Song Chunhua chose the butcher's Li family, and Song Qiushi chose the elder brother of Song Sangu's sister-in-law, the Yan family.

Boss Song did not break his promise. He had already prepared the bulk of the dowries for his two daughters, including gold earrings, gold bracelets, and betrothal money.

I have already started preparing the beds, dressing tables, wedding quilts and other things. At the end of the year, when my two sons come back, we can have the wedding.

As the weather gets colder day by day, the year finally comes to an end. In this place where there is no snow, the cold and wet weather makes everyone shiver.

However, the employees of Tianmi wore the cotton-padded clothes distributed by the store, and no one felt cold. Compared with the previous days, everyone lived a good life that everyone envied during the days working at Tianmi.

Today, the employees of the two sweet companies all gathered together. There were more than 30 employees in total, including 24 errand runners and 10 temporary errand runners.

Now the eldest aunt is in charge of the kitchen in the old store, and the second aunt is in charge of the kitchen in the new store. Because Song Ersao was pregnant, Song Sanniang directly bought four honest and skillful aunts to help in the kitchen, two to follow the eldest aunt, and two to follow the second aunt.

Liu Zezheng and Liu Zecheng have become the chief and second chief of the old store, while Liu Zehuan and Song Zuren have become the chief and second chief of the new store.

After helping to develop the new store's business, Qin Haodong and Qin Yuanyuan left the city together and looked for suitable places to open branches. They would probably return before the Chinese New Year. Qin Haoxi was sent to a private school.

Looking at the employees sitting on the first floor, Song Sanniang thought about how she had come to where she is today, from having nothing to owning two shops, three operating shops, and three cars.

She was proud of herself.
