Chapter 213 Night Chat with Jiang Weinan
Speaking of this, Jiang Weinan couldn't help but become slightly serious.
"Since I was born, Jiang Huaian has been in charge of the water transportation of the entire Jiangyang Prefecture."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "I heard from Uncle Wang today that your father was able to make this water transport business, mostly because of your mother? And your grandfather?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Weinan couldn't help but tell Xie Jiaojiao some past events.
"In fact, it stands to reason that my grandfather is in the capital, and a young lady like my mother would not get to know someone like Jiang Huaian. But one time, my mother ran away from home to play, and when she arrived at Jiangyang Prefecture, she thought this place was nice, so she chartered a boat to see the scenery. Unexpectedly, the owner of the chartered boat had not inspected it before, and the bottom of the boat leaked not long after it went out. My mother couldn't float, so she fell into the river, and that bastard Jiang Huaian happened to bump into her..."
This is a bad fate!
Needless to say, Xie Jiaojiao also knew what was going on. It was really that the plot of the hero saving the beauty was too cliché!
"If that's the case, why would your family build a house in town?"
"It's all because of that bastard Jiang Huaian! He treated my mother very well at first, but he didn't cherish her anymore after he got her. He went out to mess around when my mother was pregnant with me. My grandfather was afraid that something might happen to my mother, so he found a secluded place like this and built a house for her! So that my mother could give birth to me in peace."
"My mother thought Jiang Huaian would be more at peace after giving birth to me, but she never expected that even though he was at peace, it didn't last long before his true colors were revealed again."
Xie Jiaojiao listened and sighed slightly.
Cheer up, Xie Jiaojiao said what she wanted to say.
"Let's talk business."
"You say it and I listen."
Xie Jiaojiao said, "The business we are doing now will only cause more conflicts with your father in the future, and your mother's business is not counted as your father's business. Therefore, once there is a conflict, your father will definitely attack us first. Just like before, his shop was thriving, while your mother's shops were closing down one by one..."
"But if we find another shipping company and they don't do a good job, we will have to go back to that old guy Jiang Huaian. He will definitely set a higher price!"
Xie Jiaojiao's face straightened: "Then find a good one! I don't believe that your father has monopolized the water transport business for so many years, and he has no rivals?"
Jiang Weinan nodded slightly when he heard it: "Then do as you wish."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll mess this up?"
Jiang Weinan fell on the couch, his hands resting on his head: "What are you afraid of! If I really mess up, I will run back to the Jiang Mansion and get back the silver he swallowed. If I can't get it back, I will disgust him and make him uncomfortable!"
Xie Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing. Just as she lay down, Jiang Weinan sat up again.
"If you really want to find someone else to do the water transport, I suddenly thought of someone."
"Oh? Who?"
"He Hu! His family is in the transportation business in our town. They do both land and water transportation, but on a smaller scale."
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head immediately after hearing what he said: "Your friend He Hu is not a reliable person at first glance."
"Don't generalize. Just because he's not good doesn't mean his family is not good..."
Xie Jiaojiao yawned: "Let's talk about this later. Right now I just have this idea. I still need to think about how to do it."
Jiang Weinan lay down again: "Okay, but let me tell you about He Hu's family, it's really good. Don't look at He Hu's lazy appearance, but his father and grandfather are very good people, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do such a thriving business in such a small town..."
Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Jiang Weinan looked up at Xie Jiaojiao, only to see that she had closed her eyes, her face facing him, and had fallen asleep.
I couldn't help but smile: "Okay, go to sleep and we'll talk later."
Early the next morning, Manager Wang drove away in his carriage, taking back a few jars of fermented bean curd for the restaurant. The business of Xiangyuan Restaurant was booming right now, and no matter how much food they had, they couldn't sell enough.
The most attractive things are the storytelling on the first floor and the opera troupe on the third floor!
Of course, the hotpot on the second floor is also very popular. If you go late, there will definitely be no seats.
When Xie Jiaojiao got up, the family was already busy. They had to clean up the backyard today and kill the two fat pigs in the backyard tomorrow for the New Year.
Sun Ruhua brought her food and asked, "Is your son-in-law not awake yet?"
"No, it's cold in winter, let him sleep a little longer."
Sun Ruhua nodded: "I'll make you some pancakes at noon. Zhiyi will be back soon."
"Okay, I'll take care of the family matters."
Sun Ruhua was very happy and continued, "We will kill a pig tomorrow and we will definitely invite the villagers to eat the pig soup. Look, do you have any use for this meat? If not, I will make it into marinated meat after killing the pig tomorrow, and you can give it to others when the time comes!"
This braised pork was what Xie Jiaojiao taught Sun Ruhua to make last year. She thought it tasted very good, so she thought of making some more today.
Xie Jiaojiao said, "We'll kill a pig tomorrow. Ask the butcher to cut ten pieces of meat weighing about one pound each. I'll need them."
Sun Ruhua nodded in agreement.
Seeing that everyone was busy and Jiang Weinan hadn't gotten up yet, Xie Jiaojiao decided to go to Tian Hu's house to see how the house was being built!
Now, every morning, Tian Hunai gets up and says she will watch it herself. She doesn't need to do anything else but just want to see the house built!
Xie Jiaojiao happened to be traveling with her.
On the way, Tian Hu's grandmother smiled and said that she planned to find someone to arrange a marriage for Tian Hu after the house was built.
Xie Jiaojiao agreed. Tian Hu is now eighteen years old, which is enough for men to get married in ancient times.
Tian Hunai smiled and said, "You can help me with the advice when the time comes!"
"I'm still young, how can I help you with this matter? I'll ask my mother or Aunt Wang to help you with it when the time comes."
Tian Hu's grandmother immediately smiled and said, "That's fine! As for me, I just want to see Tian Hu get married and have children! This way I can die with my eyes closed. When I go down, I can give an explanation to his father and grandfather!"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "You are still strong, don't think about those things. If Tian Hu really gets married, you will have to help take care of his children in the future! So that the young couple can earn more money."
This sounds good.
Tian Hunai smiled and said, "Then I will hold on and live a few more years."
"That's not it!"
When they arrived at the construction site, Tian Hu's grandmother immediately went to help light the fire, and Xie Jiaojiao helped to communicate some details. Since Tian Hu had entrusted her with help and had agreed to the task, she could not leave it unfinished.
This was Foreman He's second time working with Xie Jiaojiao, and he worked more attentively, because in this village, many people asked him in the past few days how he made money for building houses, and he felt that it was all thanks to Xie Jiaojiao.
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "That's my blessing. You and your workers have good craftsmanship."
Foreman He was even happier after hearing this and worked even harder.
"Once the foundation is built and the bricks are laid, I will assign two people to go to your house and lay the floor for you."
"Don't worry, the land hasn't been bought yet!"
When Foreman He heard this, he immediately said, "We have to hurry up. This winter is colder than in previous years. It might snow."
To be honest, Xie Jiaojiao also felt that the weather was indeed colder than in previous years. It was not easy for it to snow in the south, but if it was too cold it would still snow, but the snow would not accumulate easily.
"Then I'll go urge the village chief later."
Foreman He nodded and continued to assign people to work.
At noon, Tian Hu Nai did not go back with the workers. He just stayed here to have a bite with the workers. The workers did not mind. The old man helped them a little bit here.
