"Zuo is just blinded by gold, silver, jewels and power. If she recognizes our family, we are just farmers in a rural village facing the loess and back to the sky. What can we give her?"
Shi Jiang snorted coldly.
"But if she doesn't come back, why don't we look for her?"
Shi's father couldn't figure it out.
"Maybe in her opinion, if we exist, it means that she has a miserable life experience. As long as we are gone, then naturally no one will say anything about her. I heard that Zhao Lan and Zhou Qingli are getting married.
Later, she also got married, and the person she married should have a good family background."
Shi Jiang twirled his fingers and lowered his eyes without looking at Shi's father and Shi's mother.
The Shi family couple were so angry that they wanted to faint on the spot, their faces full of disbelief.
"Just to prevent others from mentioning her life experience, she harmed her biological father and relatives?"
Shi Jiang did not answer their inquiries. Only Zhao Qingqing himself knew about this question.
Seeing Shi Jiang's appearance, Shi's father let out a long sigh. He and Shi's mother seemed to have aged more than ten years in this moment.
"Jiang'er, go do what you want to do! No matter what, your mother and I are here waiting for you."
Shi Jiang listened and nodded in agreement.
In fact, it's not that she has to make money, but without money or power, who can guarantee that local officials will be fair and honest?
The most important point is that the person Zhao Qingqing married must not be an ordinary person, otherwise she would not be so afraid of her true life experience being exposed.
If the person she marries is really powerful, she must also have the ability to fight against him.
For Shi Jiang, making money is just the first step!
Two days later, Shi Jiang, watched by the Shi family and his wife, boarded the merchant ship of the Zhao family who bought their prescription.
Follow the river all the way south until you reach the sea.
Everywhere Shi Jiang went, he would purchase some items, most of which he put into bags.
Then go to the next location, sell the valuables, and exchange them for other local items.
Everywhere I went, I bought and sold, and my pockets started to bulge.
Fortunately, she had a purse. She had a lot of money, so she pretended to exchange it for banknotes. In fact, she didn't have much money in her bag, and most of the money was in the purse.
By the time she reached the seaside, Shi Jiang had spent almost all the silver in her purse and exchanged it for pearls, gems, spices and various exotic products.
And the Zhao family's caravan will obviously have to stay here for a long time, because the merchant ship they went to sea has not returned yet.
Shi Jiang parted ways with them and headed north.
Because he was traveling overland, Shi Jiang bought a carriage.
Along the way, it is just like on a ship. You buy items at one place, throw out valuables at the next place, buy a batch of local specialties, and then go to the next town.
By the time we reached the border of the northern herders, we had already traveled for more than eight months.
Some items that could not be sold in the south are now in high demand here.
In just a few days, it was sold out.
She then sold a lot of cattle and sheep from here, selling them all the way.
By the time we returned to town, it was already winter season the next day.
In addition to a package of money, there were also a few friends I met along the way that I could chat with.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"
More than a year has passed. Since Shijiang is not the backbone of the restaurant, and Shi's father and mother have not prepared more dishes, the business can only be said to be neither good nor bad.
When Shi Jiang was here, his monthly income was almost 800 taels, but now it is hovering between 400 and 600 taels.
However, even with this income, the Shi family and his wife are already satisfied.
"Jiang'er? You are Jiang'er! My son, why have you been gone for so long?"
When Shi's mother heard Shi Jiang's voice, she didn't care about the cooking. She threw away the spatula and rushed out of the kitchen. She hugged Shi Jiang hard and started crying.
It had been a year and a half since Shi Jiang left home. She and Shi's father comforted themselves at first, wondering how their children could come back so soon when they went out to do business.
But after the New Year, all the Zhao family's merchant ships came back, but Shi Jiang didn't come back with them, but went north. They couldn't help but couldn't sleep all night long, worried that Shi Jiang, a girl, would not come back.
I don’t know what will happen to the barbarian lands in the north.
Shi's mother finished crying and took a closer look at her daughter. Well, except for being a little darker and a little stronger, nothing else had changed.
Shi's father also secretly wiped his tears, but he was much calmer than Shi's mother.
Looking at the three people following Shi Jiang, they immediately invited them in with smiles on their faces.
"Jiang'er, who are these?"
When Shi Jiang saw his father greeting the people, he smiled and pointed at the handsome man in white in the middle and said: "This is Mr. Ruan. The man in black clothes named Miao is Mr. Ruan's bodyguard. This man in dark brown clothes is Mr. Ruan.
The one wearing the clothes is Mr. Zhao, who has some connections with the Zhao family in the county."
After saying that, Shi Jiang looked at Mr. Zhao with a smile on his face.
This made Zhao Cheng's face darken. Along the way, he always felt that Shi Jiang was targeting him intentionally. Now it seems that his feeling was absolutely correct.
Because after she introduced herself, Shi's father and Shi's mother's originally smiling faces suddenly sank, and they stared at her defensively.
This feeling makes Zhao Cheng feel aggrieved.
He doesn't even know the Zhao family in any county, okay?
If Mr. Ruan hadn't wanted to go home with this crazy woman, he wouldn't have come with her!
Only the young master didn't know if he was lame, but he actually wanted to invite Shi Jiang to his house to be the master for the young master and the young ladies.
In his opinion, being saved by Shi Jiang before was simply a case of Shi Jiang's blind cat encountering a dead mouse and getting lucky.
Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, Shi Jiang sniffed sharply, and then said to Shi's mother: "Mom, did you forget to put out the fire while cooking?"
When Shi Mu came to her senses, she slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, I cooked it!"
Even though Shi's mother rushed back to the kitchen, she couldn't save the fried pork ribs. Shi's mother was so distressed that she couldn't help but feel distressed. This was such good rib meat!
"Miss Shi, does your family have any grudge against the Zhao family? Why do your parents look at me like this?"
Zhao Cheng was not one who could bear it. Seeing that although Shi's mother ran into the kitchen, Shi's father was still staring at him, he couldn't help blurting out a question.
Unexpectedly, Shi Jiang shook his head.
"If I say that there is no hatred, there is even a kinship, do you believe it or not?"
Zhao Cheng looked like I believe you are a ghost.
"Dad, you go help mom first, and then make some food for us. I missed the food you and mom cooked along the way."
After sending Shi's father away, Shi Jiang explained the dispute between his family and the Zhao family.
Hearing Shi Jiang's words, Zhao Cheng looked constipated.
After all, even if the girl from the Zhao family was not raised in the Zhao family, it is true that she robbed her husband. It is the Zhao family's fault that she did such a shameless thing.
