Chapter 164 The Ding family pays New Year greetings
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, there was no news about Li Jifu and the other two people who went to Qianping County. Early in the morning, Shiliu was going to the city to pay New Year greetings to his adoptive father. This was agreed upon years ago.

The mule cart was not there, so Shiliu borrowed the ox cart of Li Jizhong's family. Li Rongzong drove off, and the brother and sister went into the city together.

Sitting in a shed made of straw mats made by himself, which was ventilated from the front to the back and had an ox cart on top to protect him from the rain, just like a awning boat, Shiliu couldn't help but tell Li Rongzong that it would be better to buy another mule cart later.

Their family can afford a mule cart now. If there is good news from their adoptive father and he opens a shop in the city, mule carts will be needed to deliver goods back and forth. There are times when the family needs to use mule carts. , it would be cheaper if there were two mule carts.

Li Rongzong listened and said that he only listened to Shiliu. He turned around and talked about the three uncles who had left for Qianping County yesterday. He also became worried, "I don't know if the third uncle and the others can find that Mrs. Xiong."

Shiliu said: "Since I specialize in this man's business, I want to come and inquire about it. With Uncle Six here, it's not a problem to inquire about something. Now I just hope that Nian Guan will be busy, so that Mrs. Xiong can buy someone before he can do it." "

She had heard it said before that when a person is bought, he must keep him in his hands and teach him the rules for a period of time. Unless he is a servant of a wealthy family, otherwise, this person will not be easy to deal with. No one would buy someone who doesn’t understand anything.

When she met her adoptive father later, she also asked her to see if he knew about this naughty woman.

The Ding family knew that Shiliu would be here today, so they had already prepared for it. They specially set aside today to entertain Shiliu's brother and sister. Ding Fuguang didn't know that something happened to the Li family on New Year's Eve, and Shiliu didn't mention it either. , the two sides met, and they were naturally happy.

Pomegranates were given to the adopted grandmother, adopted father, adopted daughter, adopted brother, adopted sister-in-law, etc. to pay New Year greetings one by one. They received a pile of thick red envelopes on the spot, and even Li Rongzong was so excited that he got one.

After some pleasantries, it was almost time for lunch, so we moved to the dining room together.

Today's lunch was also extremely sumptuous, including chicken, fish and meat. Ding Fuguang knew that Li Rongzhong was a drinker, so he prepared a good drink for him.

After a pleasant meal, the men drank too much and were helped to sober up and rest. Li Rongzong was also a little drunk and was placed in the guest room. Pomegranate went to talk with his adoptive mother Wang.

The courtyard where she stayed last time was left intact for her. Mrs. Wang pulled her and smiled and said that when the cloth shop had fashionable pieces of cloth for making spring clothes, she would leave a few more pieces for her. It was time for her to measure her body and make spring clothes.

Also talking about Ding Fengye’s engagement in March, Pomegranate, as his younger sister, must come.

The couple chatted and laughed all afternoon, until Ding Fuguang sobered up and asked someone to call Pomegranate to go to the study to talk.

Wang patted her hand and said with a smile: "Go, your adoptive father has something good to tell you."

Shiliu's heart stirred, wondering if something about the shop had been settled?

She happened to want to ask her adoptive father about Mrs. Xiong, so she went to the study.

The maid served tea, and Ding Fuguang smiled and said to Shiliu: "Years ago, you asked me to help you find a shop. I looked around and found that there were not many good shops in the city. I thought about you. You can’t delay business matters. It just so happens that I have a suitable shop in hand. It doesn’t hurt to pass it on to you.”

When Shiliu heard that her adoptive father had specially set up a shop for her, she thought it would work and immediately refused.

Ding Fuguang waved his hand to signal her not to worry, "The business of this shop is not doing well, and if I keep it, I will lose money. I might as well sell it to you. It is a good thing that you can revitalize this shop and prevent it from falling into disrepair." no?"

Although she said that, Shiliu understood that her adoptive father would never really give her a poor shop, he just said that. She was deeply moved and accepted this kindness. If she didn't accept it, she would have hurt her adoptive father's heart.

"This shop is on the street not far from Nanmen Market. It has two fronts, a small courtyard, and several houses. It is not a problem to accommodate several people. It also has a well, which is convenient for cooking and washing. The back door has a sill removed. A mule cart can drive in, and it’s cheap to deliver the goods.”

Ding Fuguang said: "I have asked people to vacate this shop. Please take the time to go over and see how you want to decorate it. If you are not comfortable with it, just ask the shopkeeper of the shop two shops away for help. That shop The shop is mine too, and the shopkeeper is mine.”

With that said, he gave the key and the house deed to Shiliu.

Shiliu didn't rush to pick it up. In response to Ding Fuguang's words, she just said that this shop must pay according to the market price, otherwise, she would be embarrassed.

Ding Fuguang said with a smile: "According to the market price, I will not give you a price concession and let you take advantage."

Pomegranate laughed and squeezed out good shops for her, which already gave her a big advantage.

She just received the keys and the deed to the house this time. As for the money, she went home to get it and then deliver it to her adoptive father.

Ding Fuguang waved his hand, not paying much attention, and just asked her to deliver it at any time.

Shiliu put the keys and house deed away, and then asked her adoptive father about Mrs. Xiong.

Unexpectedly, when Ding Fuguang heard about Mrs. Xiong from Qianping County, his expression changed slightly, "Pomegranate asked Ren Yao whether he planned to buy two people? The Jin Yao people in Luoshui City are kind, and the people he hired are all good. Just look for him, how come you found out about Qianping County?"

When Shiliu saw the strange look on his face, her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly told her sister-in-law's story, "Father, what's wrong with this old lady Xiong?"

When Ding Fuguang heard that Shiliu's sister-in-law and cousin had been sold to this Mrs. Xiong, his expression changed drastically, and he sighed: "If it's this Mrs. Xiong, then your sister-in-law and the others may not be in a good situation."

There are some things that are hard to say to a little girl named Shiliu, but the matter is so important that Ding Fuguang can’t hide it, “This Mrs. Xiong is a well-known black-hearted scoundrel, and the people she handles are always bad. In such places, men are usually sold to unscrupulous places to work as hard labor, with no way to survive. As for the good-looking women, they may be sold to serious brothels, and most of the others are sold to Goulan brothels."

The Goulan Kiln only receives some unscrupulous customers, and it is common for a black-hearted madam to make people pick up customers all day long. In a situation like Pomegranate Girl, she must have been sold to the Goulan Kiln——

Shiliu shuddered when she heard this. She really didn't expect that Mrs. Liu would be so vicious and would sell people to such a black-hearted bastard!
My sister-in-law won’t talk about it, Dani and the other three are also her granddaughters!
This ungrateful person said that she was useless now. Shiliu just thought that she was really beaten lightly yesterday, and one day she would definitely bring someone to beat her up.

Immediately, he asked with a hint of luck: "How long does it take for Mrs. Xiong to buy someone? Does your adoptive father know?"

Ding Fuguang thought about the reputation of this naughty lady, "She is not very particular about selling people. She usually sells immediately after receiving it. But if it was the period before and after the year before and after, I guess she would not be so quick to sell. However, we have to start from It's probably not easy for Mrs. Xiong to redeem someone. She has a dark heart and dirty hands. She bought it for five taels but sold it for seven or eight taels. If her family came to redeem her, she would raise the price even more. "

Pomegranate listened, first heaving a sigh of relief, then getting worried. She was afraid that the person had not been sold yet, but Mrs. Xiong and the Lion refused to let him go——

He couldn't help but wonder: "Does my foster father have any connections in Qianping County? My sister-in-law and the others must be redeemed. I hope my foster father can help!"
