After understanding what was going on, Mr. Wan asked the housekeeper to take out the generous gift and handed it into Liu Dalan's hands. Liu Dalan didn't wait long after seeing the benefit. Her purpose of coming this time had been achieved, so she took it and left. .

As soon as Liu Dalan left, Mrs. Wan's tears were like bursting from the dam, flowing endlessly, and her words were full of self-blame and distress.

"My son suffered such a serious crime in the Cheng family. It's all because of my bad motherhood."

Originally born into a wealthy family, but never enjoying a day of glory, Cheng Feng's life since childhood was something they had never experienced. The hardships Cheng Feng endured were something they had never endured, and their fine clothes and food were something Cheng Feng had never seen before. .

Mr. Wan, as a father, felt so bitter that it was hard to calm down. The root cause of all the things was his carelessness back then, which was why his children were left outside and suffered so much. Faced with Cheng Feng's tough attitude, he felt the family affection between them. Relationships are hard to save.

But he is still sensible, as long as Cheng Feng survives.

"I should be grateful to you for helping me raise my child, otherwise we wouldn't even have the chance to meet each other."

Mrs. Wan knew this and felt guilty.

"Help me pack my things and I'll go to Nancheng to take care of Feng'er myself."

Mr. Wan felt helpless.

"You think I don't want to go? Now that we go, where will we look for him if he runs away again?"

Mrs. Wan tapped her fingers on the table and said, "This won't work, and that won't work either. It's all because of the money. Why are you stealing your grandson?"

Wan Baiqian drank tea and said, "That's not what you two said at the time."

"Did you do this?"

"I did do it, I won't deny it, but mother, why do I feel that you want to kill your family out of righteousness?"

Madam Wan was so anxious that she said, "What time has it been? I can only sacrifice you."

"Sacrifice just sacrifice, a good man should do what he does."

Then Wanbaiqian looked like he had no regrets

Cheng Feng and Shang Xi had already traveled more than half the distance when they suddenly remembered that Aunt Chen was still waiting for them to take her to Nancheng.

Cheng Feng thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. At most, I'll get scolded by my aunt a few more times."

After returning to Nancheng, the two of them relaxed suddenly and felt that life was calm again.

Cheng Feng's expression recovered when he saw the child, and his speech became much clearer after not seeing the child for a few days.

Shang Xi took out the unfinished account book in the morning and continued to pull the abacus. At the end of the calculation, the two of them had no money left.

"Does the money go so fast?"

Cheng Feng said: "Don't you see how big our granary is."

Shang Xi said: "Let's study some more money and collect grain from Nancheng."

Cheng Feng counted the banknotes in his hand and said: "We are not rich except for a little pocket money. Where can we get money?"

Shang Xi said: "Look, the weather is getting colder. Is it..."

Shang Xi only said half of what he said, and Cheng Feng wasn't stupid either.

"You're not asking me to go find Boss Qian to sell donkey-hide gelatin, are you?"

Shang Xi said: "Boss Qian paid all the money for the mining in advance. It's a little shameful to open my mouth again."

Just when the two of them were at a loss what to do, Boss Qian came to their house the next day.

Boss Qian would be fine if he didn't know everything about what the young couple does every day. He said with a smile: "All the money in my hands has been turned into food. Are you sure there will be a famine next year?"

Cheng Feng said with a smile: "Shang Xi said that even if there is no famine, the food will not make any profit at most."

Boss Qian is a shrewd businessman. If this doesn't make money, he will definitely remind the young couple to stop their losses in time.

He smiled and said: "It will definitely be sold at a good price. You two have collected almost all the food in this city. Once we sell it next year, we will get all this wasted money."

Cheng Feng hoped so.

"Are you here for something?"

Boss Qian smiled and said, "Let's see if you two are short of money?"

Cheng Feng scratched his head and said, "I don't have any money anymore. I don't have any pocket money. Well, it's getting colder today. Do you still want donkey-hide gelatin?"

Boss Qian burst out laughing when he heard that he was going to sell his donkey-hide gelatin again.

He reached out and took a wooden box handed to him by Dong Ke and pushed it to Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng is quite afraid of the wooden box now, thinking it might be the Night Pearl again.

He opened the box cautiously and saw that it was full of banknotes. He opened his eyes wide and said, "Why did you spend so much money to buy coal?"

Boss Qian said: "The coal in hand is sold."

Cheng Feng quickly called Shang Xi.

Shang Xi was busy rolling cigarettes with a few people at home. Because the well at the foot of the mountain was drilled, the kitchen was moved there when Cheng Feng and Shang Xi were in Beicheng. After the women at home who like to make money were free, they felt very sad. Unwilling to do so, Shang Xi had to arrange cigarette rolling for them.

Shang Xi ran in with a smile: "What's going on? I'm so happy."

Cheng Feng grinned happily and showed the wooden box to Shang Xi.

Shang Xi took a look and said, "Did you get money for selling the coal?"

Boss Qian said: "I sold some of the coal and kept some in my hand."

"How much are these?"

Boss Qian stretched out a hand.

Shang Xi said: "Fifty thousand taels?"

Boss Qian shook his head.

"Fifty thousand taels?"

Boss Qian smiled and said: "Our two families each have five million taels."

Cheng Feng and Shang Xi were both shocked. They didn't expect such a large amount.

It has been five and a half months since the mine started. This is the first time they have seen money, and it comes from part of the coal. It seems that they are really rich.

Boss Qian said: "As the weather gets colder, we can still mine for another two and a half months at most. However, we have added some more manpower and can mine more coal before the shutdown."

Shang Xi said: "Boss Qian, thank you for your hard work. Cheng Feng and I didn't help much in mining?"

Boss Qian smiled and said, "It's only thanks to you two that I have the opportunity to make money from coal."

Boss Qian casually took one of their cigarettes and found that the cigarette was not rolled with tobacco leaves, but with tiny bits of tobacco. He was full of curiosity, "Are you women the only ones making this thing?"

Cheng Feng said: "I do it when I have nothing to do."

Boss Qian chuckled and said, "You are so patient. You are a big man and you still do this. This is all the work of a woman."

Cheng Feng was laughed at by Boss Qian, his eyes blinked and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Shang Xi saw that Boss Qian was a little thoughtful about her cigarettes, otherwise he couldn't lift them up.

She couldn't pretend to be confused, "Boss Qian, do you have any advice?"

Boss Qian played with the cigarettes in his hand and said, "You can leave this job to me. I will find someone to make the cigarettes, and then I will be responsible for selling them, just like this coal."

Cheng Feng looked at Shang Xi, and Shang Xi looked at Cheng Feng. Both of them understood what Boss Qian meant.
