Liu Yong got the news that Hong Ying was released and rushed to Huzhou Prefecture to pick her up. But when he arrived, he was told that Hong Ying had gone home. Liu Yong immediately returned to Nanxun. The whole family said they had not seen Hong Ying come back.
.
Dongmei said: Mom must have gone back to Jili Village to visit her grandmother. Let’s go to Jili Village to find her.
Liu Yong immediately called a sedan chair, took Dongmei and Qiumei and rushed to the Song family in Jili Village.
As expected, Hong Ying was at home. When Hong Ying's father and mother saw that their daughter was back in good condition, her illness was mostly cured and she could get out of bed.
When they arrived at the Song family, Liu Yong first greeted Hong Ying's parents. Dongmei and Qiumei also said hello to their grandparents and brought them a lot of delicious food. They also brought a lot of things to Hong Sheng's son.
Liu Yong said to Hong Ying: I have nothing else to do. Please come home with us.
Hong Ying sneered and said: Apart from my mother's family, where else do I have a home? My father and mother were too sad for me, and my body could not recover. I left home when I was young, and I was unfilial. Now I am no longer in the Liu family.
Wife, I only hope that I can serve you two elders and fulfill my filial piety as a daughter.
Dongmei and Qiumei also hugged Hongying and cried bitterly. They said: Mom, do you really miss us and don’t want us anymore? You have endured a lot of hardships for our whole family. I understand in my heart. Now the hardships are over and the happiness comes.
The clouds are clearing and the moon is bright. You go home with us and live happily as a family, and we will honor you well.
What Dongmei and Qiumei said was true and touching.
Hong Ying said with tears in her eyes: My dear, if my mother wasn’t doing it for you, maybe I wouldn’t have reached this stage today. Hong Ying took Dongmei and Qiumei’s hands and said: My dear, my mother knows that you are very sensible.
For you, my mother will die with no regrets. Your beloved mother has accepted it, just because now she has a letter of divorce from your father, and now she is not from the Liu family.
After Hong Ying's mother heard what Hong Ying said, she came over and said: Oh, don't think like that. They have already come to invite you. This is to give you face. If you don't want a sedan chair, you want a dustpan, you'd better go back with them.
Looking at the children of these directors, I feel happy.
Father Hong Ying, who was sitting on a small stool nearby, also chimed in and said: The past is in the past. Now the whole family can live a peaceful life.
Hong Ying said: Dad, Mom, why are you so confused? Now everyone knows that I was divorced by the Liu family, so what does it mean if I go to the Liu family again? Can’t I become a grandma?
Liu Yong said hurriedly: This is easy, I have already thought about it. After our house is completed, I will still hire three media and six people to welcome you.
Hong Ying sighed and said: Thank you for your sincerity. Now I am covered with bruises. I will rest at my parents' house for a while and talk about other things later. I refuse to go back.
Liu Yong was so ashamed when he thought of the suffering Hong Ying had suffered because of the Liu family over the years. It was difficult for him to open his mouth and insist on asking Hong Ying to return to the Liu family. Dongmei and Qiumei tried hard to persuade her, but they had no choice but to follow Liu Yong back to the town with tears in their eyes.
Although Hong Yong was released from prison, Liu Yong still had to deal with the aftermath. Liu Yong promised Mr. Chen to donate 50,000 taels of silver for disaster relief, but Liu Yong emptied his family fortune to build a house, and the bank he invested in had a run on it some time ago, so his hands
There wasn't much cash in the house. He was running around borrowing money, but still had a shortfall of 20,000 taels.
The date set by Mr. Chen was coming soon. Liu Yong knew that the matter was serious and he could not break his promise. In desperation, he made up his mind to build a house.
The construction of this house cost Liu Yongwen 150,000 taels of silver, mainly on the Western-style building. If this house were to be sold, the only people in the town who could take over the house would be Gu, Zhang, and Pang.
Liu Yong thought for a while and went to Zhang Songxian first to tell him his idea of selling the house.
Zhang Songxian wondered: Guan Jing, what trouble have you encountered again?
Liu Yong did not dare to say it explicitly, but said that Tang Yanghe was in urgent need of capital to expand his business in France.
Zhang Songxian said: My two sons are both married. It is too early to build another mansion for them. Moreover, 150,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, and I cannot afford it at the moment.
Liu Yong said sadly: "Actually, I don't need so much. I am just scraping it together now, only 20,000 taels are missing."
Zhang Songxian's eyes widened and he said: Twenty thousand taels? Do you still have those salt notes in your hand?
If Zhang Songxian hadn't mentioned it, Liu Yong would have forgotten about it. He said: Are you still there?
Zhang Songxian clapped his hands and said with a smile: Guan Jing, Guan Jing, you are really a lucky general. God will always take care of you at critical moments!
Liu Yong suddenly became energetic and asked: But the imperial court has begun to rectify the salt affairs?
Zhang Songxian said, "Exactly. In the past few months, the court has arrested many illegal salt dealers, and they have all been severely punished. The salt in our hands is valuable again."
Liu Yong hurriedly asked: How much is one worth now?
Zhang Songxian stretched out his hand and said: This is the number.
Liu Yong was surprised and said: Five hundred taels?
Zhang Songxian nodded and said: It will rise next month. So I am not willing to sell it. If you want to sell it, I will take it.
Liu Yong calculated in his mind that he had 80 pieces of salt in his hand that he had originally exchanged for 20,000 taels of silver from Wang Shengbao. Now he could exchange them for 40,000 taels of silver, which was almost doubled. In this way, all problems were solved.
Liu Yong cupped his hands and said: Boss Zhang, you are truly my noble man! I am in urgent need of money, so I will send you these eighty Yanyin bills tomorrow.
Zhang Songxian said: OK, I will immediately order someone to prepare the money for you, so don't worry.
Although Hong Ying refused to return to the Liu family, she was always thinking about it. Her two daughters were about to get married. She also knew that when she was released from prison, Liu Yong promised the government a donation, and the amount was not small. It is estimated that Liu Yong suddenly
She couldn't come up with so much cash. So, she called Song Hongsheng. She said to Song Hongsheng: Brother, please go for me. These 30,000 taels of silver notes belong to the Liu family. You can go and return them to them for me.
.
Song Hongsheng smiled and said: Why do you have so many banknotes around you? I can't earn it in my life.
Hong Ying said: "Don't ask any more questions about this, just send it to me."
Song Hongsheng asked again: Can't you send it yourself?
Hong Ying smiled and said: If I send him there, and the Liu family closes the door and prevents me from coming out, what should I do?
Song Hongsheng couldn't resist his sister, so he had to come to Liu Yong with the banknote.
Liu Yong took the banknotes and sighed deeply: These banknotes are full of her sadness and the biggest disaster in her life. You should take them back to her. Tell her that I am not short of money now. I am just short of money.
.....
Song Hongsheng said in embarrassment: She said this belongs to your family and is returned to you. She asked me to deliver it, and you asked me to take it back. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing for me?
Liu Yong told Song Hongsheng the ins and outs of the 30,000 taels of silver notes. Then he smiled and said: She earned the 10,000 taels by herself. Please bring these 10,000 taels to her first, as she also has expenses.
The problem that Liu Yong was worried about at the beginning was solved, and now he had an extra 40,000 taels. He walked back to Liu Shunheng Silk Shop with relaxed steps, thinking about doubling the size of the silk shop and opening a shop next to Shanghai Ocean Shop.
The pawn shop purchased a thousand acres of land in Qingpu, Shanghai, and the grain produced every year from the thousand acres was used to help refugees. When the family moved to a new home, they remarried Hong Ying back home in great glory.
Not long after Liu Yong donated money for disaster relief, colleagues from the Silk Industry Association also generously donated money, triggering an upsurge in donating money for disaster relief throughout Zhejiang. After the disaster relief, Mr. Chen was promoted to governor of Zhejiang, and he reported to the court for Liu Yong and Nanxun silk merchants
