Looking at each other, Su Qin secretly clenched the hand at his side: "You also knew at the beginning that the principal of the business cooperation with you was raised by me selling the Su family's ancestral home."
"Um."
"After the Su family's accident, more than half of their property was given away. The remaining properties are relatively worthless and unprofitable."
"Yeah." It's true that she doesn't make much money. She only supports her two shops. If she hadn't changed her business strategy in time, she wouldn't be making as much money as she is now.
"When Su Jian was at its peak, everyone was surrounded by people, and there was a lot of business that came automatically. But after knowing that the Su family is not as good as before, especially after knowing that the Su family has offended people in the government... Although you married into
The General’s Mansion, but you also knew the situation in the General’s Mansion at that time.”
Su Jian nodded. At that time, the General's Mansion only had one name. It had no real power and was in embarrassment. Naturally, no one would take it seriously.
Su Jian laughed at herself: "That's what the so-called wall fell and everyone blamed it. Since then, more and more people have made trouble for the Su family, overtly or covertly. Gradually... Su Jian's property... was swallowed up.
It was swallowed up and collapsed. But now, there is nothing left.”
After Su Qin finished speaking, he closed his eyes and felt a sharp pain in his heart. He felt sad, not because he had lost his property, but because his father had struggled hard for four years, but in the end he still could not keep the property. When he returned
At home, he felt really uncomfortable when he saw his father sitting in the study in a daze, with the hair on his temples turning gray.
Su Jian opened her mouth, and a flash of light flashed across her eyes. If this was the case, then it would make sense why Su Dacheng didn't take the initiative to find her in the past four years.
Unable to help herself, Su Jian thought of Su Dacheng. Even though he was in a desperate situation, he could speak proudly and look happy when he saw her. If Su Qin hadn't told her, she would not have been able to see that Su Dacheng was a man who had lost his property.
.As for Su Dacheng's appearance...because she deliberately ignored it, she really didn't pay much attention to it. Now that Su Qin mentioned it, she thought carefully about it, and found that not only Su Dacheng, but also Qin Zheng were much older and haggard.
"Before Xiaolei returns to the Su family..."
"The house that my parents live in now was taken away to pay off the debt. To be precise, the house was taken away the day after Xiao Lei left. To be honest, I have to thank Xiao Lei for showing up. My parents were originally unwilling to give it to you.
Those who caused trouble even wanted to disappear quietly. But Xiao Lei's appearance... there was a little starlight in their dead eyes. Xiao Jian, I don't want that light to disappear. "
After Su Qin finished speaking, he opened his robe and knelt in front of Su Jian: "Xiao Jian, I don't want my parents to be helpless for the rest of their lives, and I don't want them to hide quietly and suffer. Although making this request will make it difficult for you, but
I still want to beg you to let my parents live in the General's Mansion for the time being. I will immediately find someone to build a house nearby. When the new home is settled, I want my parents to live there and live close to you."
Su Qin said, looking at Su Jian nervously, afraid that Su Jian would refuse.
Su Jian was shocked by Su Qin's sudden kneeling. When she came to her senses, she didn't help Su Qin. She just pinched her nose and said, "Yeah."
Su Qin's eyes lit up and he looked at Su Jian, feeling vaguely sour and astringent in his heart.
Su Dacheng and Qin Zheng now don't even have a place to stay... Su Jian thought... She couldn't be so heartless despite the original owner's body: "But brother, you should have told me about this earlier."
After all, the Su family has been in business for so many years. It is a pity that those industries have benefited others like this. However, this also proves that Su Dacheng really did not want to drag her down. Otherwise, in the past four years, the General's Mansion has been prospering, and he can beg for help.
She helped, but he didn't.
Su Dacheng is pretty good.
And that Zhang Da, did she really not realize that he was actually her benefactor?
But... a down-and-out guard leader of the General's Mansion is so capable that he can establish relationships with officials from the Ministry of Revenue? If it's not Zhang Da himself who has a problem, then Zhan Zhan also has a problem. After all, the General's Mansion is so down and out and is looked down upon by others.
, will the Ministry of Revenue officials still buy it?
And Zhang Da seems to have helped the Su family solve the problem, but in fact? The Su family is completely in despair... Is this really a favor?
Su Jian couldn't help but frown, this matter was becoming more and more elusive.
Su Qin saw Su Jian frowning, thinking that his request had put Su Jian in a difficult situation. But please forgive his selfishness at this moment. After all, he was really worried about Su Dacheng and Qin Zheng. If they had any bad intentions, he would be a parentless person in the future.
's child.
"Xiao Jian, I'm sorry."
Su Jian retracted her thoughts and looked deeply at Su Qin. She didn't want her mood to be dominated by negative emotions all the time. She took a deep breath. When she spoke again, her tone was brisk and the sadness on her face disappeared.
"Brother, let's hold a competition. The single men who organize Xiaosu's workshop, and the single men who do business on the street, either make their own food, or make their own items that they are good at for comparison. The first place
The reward will be five taels of silver, the second place will be rewarded with three taels of silver, and the third place will be rewarded with one tael of silver."
"A competition?" Su Qin was stunned and couldn't keep up with Su Jian's jump.
"In order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, the judges of this competition are not fixed. They are all participated by unmarried women, including widows. Of course... all the judges who participate in the competition will receive exquisite small prizes. As for the prizes, a flower in the head, five or six coins
Money purse, what do you think?"
Su Qin looked at Su Jian blankly. Seeing that Su Jian was really waiting for his answer, he thought for a moment and figured out Su Jian's intention: "Is Xiao Jian planning to find a wife for the men in the house?"
"It's up to them. If they don't have the ability... no one will be willing to marry them." Su Jian thought of something and told Su Qin: "If outsiders ask why only unmarried women and widows have this benefit, just say
…Who told us that Xiao Su’s workshop has a female owner? Girls always pity girls more.”
Su Qin looked at Su Jian intently, his eyes flickering: "That's what Xiao Jian said." His Xiao Jian seems to be strong, but in fact he is a pure and kind person at heart. He gives benefits to others, but does not let others betray him.
There's a chance of a little bit of stigma.
"The mobilization work of the men in the house..." Su Jian glanced at Su Qin, forget it, she would do it herself: "Brother can find someone to promote it, but it is not appropriate to use children this time. To show solemnity, you can visit them one by one.
If the villagers in these ten miles and eight villages are right, then they will be more convincing and trustworthy."
"Okay, then I'll go right away." Su Jian finished her words and turned around to leave.
Su Jian opened her mouth, but there was no need to be so anxious. She turned around and walked a few steps, suddenly looking in the direction Su Qin left, and the corners of her lips twitched: "That's smart, if you leave, I will have to arrange them myself."
Su Qin sneezed after leaving the General's Mansion. Su Jian would definitely make arrangements for his parents, right? He looked behind him uneasily, but in an instant he decided to trust Su Jian, and he would take care of Su Jian well.
