Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 176: Selection of Niece-in-Law

It has been nearly half a month since a new store similar to Tian Mi Mi opened in Le An Fang. Two-thirds of the previously lost customers have returned, and the rest are there because they came here because of the cheap prices offered by that store.

"Oh, your sweet stuff tastes better. The food I ate at that newly opened sugar jar is not tasty at all.

The variety of condiments in their self-service desserts is not as many as yours, and the portions are smaller.

Their snacks are not tasty either, and the fried food has no taste. "An old customer complained,

"Yeah, I didn't expect the taste to be so different, your food is still better." Other customers followed suit and complained.

"I just wanted to try it for the novelty, but I spent money and didn't even fill my stomach.

The main thing is that the food is not tasty. It looks similar to the ones in your store, but it just doesn't taste good.

I won’t go there to eat next time. Your house is a little far away. I have to come to Le’anfang every time to eat.”

Song Sanniang was thoughtful after hearing this. Then, more and more customers complained about the store, but Song Sanniang didn't care much.

After listening to everyone's advice, she felt that she could open a branch in the capital city, but before opening the branch, she wanted to start a takeout business first.

In fact, in addition to take-out food, there is also a take-out business. Generally, customers themselves or their servants come to the store to make an order, and then the store staff will arrange delivery at the appointed time.

There is also a kind of errand runner who will wander around the restaurant. When he sees other people drinking, he will ask these drinkers if there is anything they want to eat that the restaurant doesn't have, and then he will help buy it and earn some errand fees.

There is also the little brother who Song Sanniang often looked for before to help convey messages.

People in Le'anfang can eat at Tian Mi Mi anytime, but it's not so convenient for those who are farther away.

But the city is so big that everyone except Le'anfang is a potential customer. Song Sanniang plans to start a takeout business, so she starts preparing.

While she was preparing for the takeaway business, Second Aunt Song and Third Aunt Song did not forget the task assigned to them by their sister-in-law.

After returning to the village, they began to spread their connections around them and help Song Chunhua and her sister find a partner.

Song Ergu and her two sisters sat down together one day to review the suitable candidates they had found.

Song Ergu had three suitable candidates in her hands, and Song Ergu had four, so the two sisters exchanged information with each other.

Song Ergu had two sons from Lijia Village, the village where she married. One was the eldest son of a butcher, seventeen years old, tall and strong, and honest.

He has a younger brother and a younger sister. The butcher's family is rich and has land. In fact, with such good conditions, he should be very popular.

But the butcher's wife was a very powerful woman who controlled the men in the family very tightly, so most girls with soft personalities did not dare to marry into his family.

The second one is the youngest son of Song's second uncle's family, who is eighteen years old this year.

This cousin's family specializes in helping others with funeral affairs. They have a big brick and tile house, fields and land. They also bought two houses in the county town, one for the eldest son and one for the youngest son.

Some people think his family is unlucky, and some people want to marry into his family because they think he is rich, but his family doesn't like these people.

The third one was the child of Song Ergu's sister-in-law's relative. His family dug wells for others. Although digging wells seemed to be nothing special, digging a well cost at least ten taels of silver.

This is a craft passed down from generation to generation. The family now has a small business. The child is the second child in the family and is sixteen years old this year. He had a childhood sweetheart, but the girl died of illness two years ago.

Song Ergu lived a life of plenty after her marriage. When she returned to her parents' home, she found that her younger brother's family had become much better off.

She knew the personalities of her two older nieces, so she tried to find them some with better conditions. Otherwise, if she found them some from poor families, they would definitely not be willing.

Among the four candidates from Song Sangu's side, two are from her husband's village.

One of them is a village banquet chef. He is the second son of the family and is 17 years old. His family has no worries about food and clothing, but most of the children in his family are fat and plump. Girls are a little scared when they see him.

The second one's family was the same as Song Sangu's husband's. They had a hilltop and planted lychee and longan fruit trees. They could make a lot of money every year by selling the fruit.

The one who is looking for a wife is the second son in the family, who is sixteen years old this year. His family has no worries about food and drink, but he is a little short, only about 1.65 meters tall.

The third one is a relative of Song Sangu's grandmother. His family makes and sells umbrellas. The craft has been passed down for three generations. The family owns an umbrella shop and a small workshop, and also has fields and land in the village.

The one who is looking for a wife is the third child in the family. This child is honest and simple, and likes to work in the workshop all day long.

The main reason was that he didn't look good and had a big red birthmark, which delayed his search for a wife.

The last one is the son of the eldest brother of Song Sangu's sister-in-law, who is a typical farmer.

But the family has two mu of fish pond and twenty mu of farmland. There are two brothers in the family. The one who is talking about marriage is the eldest brother, who is eighteen years old this year.

He has a smooth and capable personality. He knows that his family's conditions are not very good, so he wants to find a wife who can help his family a little.

After exchanging information, Song Ergu and her decided to find someone to tell their eldest brother about the situation to see what he thought.

If they liked any of them, they could inform each other and meet up to get to know each other. So the two of them asked someone to bring the news to Boss Song.

After receiving the news, Song Lao Da looked at it carefully. In order to be safe, Song Ergu and the others specially found a scholar in the village to write down the situation of each family.

Boss Song thought that the men chosen by his two younger sisters were all good, and at least they wouldn't have to suffer if they married into the couple.

Although every family has some shortcomings, it is not perfect for them.

He thought that if his two daughters were willing, they could choose for themselves, and when they met, they could decide if they thought it was suitable.

When his two daughters got married, even though they had not learned well, he, as a father, would not treat them badly.

He had more than sixty taels on hand, and after giving twenty to Dalang and Erlang, he had forty left.

Later, I helped my second brother build a house, and he gave me another 20 taels. Now, I earn a few taels a month from the store.

He planned to give each of them a pair of gold earrings and a pair of gold bracelets when they got married, and a dowry of twenty taels each, and other dowry items were also prepared for them.

As long as they live a good life after marriage, he will subsidize them in the future. When they have children, he will make silver bracelets for the children and give them red envelopes as a secret subsidy to them.
