A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 79 The Transaction between Hang's Mother and Manager Wan

If Hang Shuheng were here, he would have seen that this woman could only be Hang's mother.

Just now, when Manager Wan was talking to Hang Shuheng, Hang's mother eavesdropped outside the door for a while and found out that the man from the city was the manager of the Wan family and wanted to buy something from Hang Shuheng.

Upon learning that Steward Wan had left in anger after failing to achieve his wish, she quietly walked ahead and stopped the carriage halfway.

"Don't be angry, sir, don't be angry. I am from the Hang family, and the man who was talking to you just now is my son." Hang's mother was afraid of angering Manager Wan, so she quickly explained in a flattering manner.

Manager Wan was originally furious and wanted to find someone to vent his anger on, but when he heard Hang's mother introduce herself, his anger immediately subsided by half.

"Oh? What's the matter that you stopped my carriage?" Manager Wan was very curious about her purpose.

Mother Hang rubbed her hands a little nervously, walked closer and said, "I heard that you want to pay for what my son has. How much money do you want to pay?"

"What? Can you get that thing from your son?" Steward Wan became interested and sat down on the shaft of the cart. "If you can take that thing out, I'll give you twenty taels of silver. How about that? But do you know what I want?"

When Mother Hang heard that there were twenty taels, her eyes lit up instantly. Fearing that Manager Wan would go back on his word, she quickly said, "Tell me what that thing looks like, and I'll go find it for you."

She is indeed an ignorant and stupid country woman, she is so greedy for just twenty taels.

Manager Wan was disdainful in his heart, but thinking about her proposal, although it was not very fair, it was still a good idea. If this woman could find the secret book, he could buy it for twenty taels of silver, wouldn't he make a fortune?

At that moment, he told Hang's mother what the secret book looked like, which was a booklet with many pictures of furniture in it. Hang's mother nodded repeatedly and promised to find the booklet.

After the two parties reached a consensus, Hang's mother couldn't help but talk about the relationship again, "Speaking of which, we are also a family."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Manager Wan didn't want to be a family member with someone who was willing to sell her son for twenty taels of silver.

"Oh! You may not know, but my niece is the new concubine of the eldest young master of your Wan family. She was just taken away yesterday!"

Manager Wan thought about it carefully. When the eldest young master returned to the county town yesterday, he seemed to have brought someone back and settled him in the house outside. Could that be the woman's niece?

"Which village is your mother's family from?" he asked.

Mother Hang said cheerfully, "My mother's family is from Xiaoquan Village, her surname is Zhang, and my niece's name is Zhang Cuiju."

Manager Wan was not sure whether what she said was true, but at this moment he followed her words and said, "So you are really a family. Since you are a family, as long as you can get the secret book out, our young master will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely get things done. Just wait for my good news." Hang's mother was afraid that Manager Wan would go back on his word, so she kept nodding and bowing.

After they agreed on the place of transaction, Manager Wan asked Xiao Si to drive away. He wanted to go back to find the eldest young master to confirm. If the young master's new concubine was confirmed to be the woman's niece, then there would be a degree of kinship. If the woman failed, then maybe the new concubine could come forward and succeed.

Hang's mother was still standing there watching the carriage leave. She was very happy thinking that she would soon get the twenty taels of silver.

Little did they know that their conversation was seen by Mu Dun who was going to the river to catch shrimps. Although Mu Dun could not hear their conversation from a distance, it did not affect his ability to pass on the information.

At this moment, he stopped catching shrimps and ran towards the Hang family. He arrived there much earlier than Hang's mother and told Hang Shuheng everything he had seen.

Song Ning was very confused when she heard this. "What on earth does she want to do?"

Hang Shuheng thought for a moment and guessed her motive. He said, "It's probably related to the drawings."

As soon as Manager Wan left here, she followed him out and stopped his carriage. One loved money and the other wanted the blueprints, so the result was easy to imagine.

"You mean, she might steal the blueprints and sell them to Manager Wan?" Song Ning was still not sure.

"Everything is possible, just wait and see!" However, Hang Shuheng did not have any hope for Hang's mother.

When Hang's mother returned home, she saw Hang Shuheng and Song Ning in the yard, and she couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable. She had something to hide, and when she saw them, she hid in her room with a guilty conscience, and her body language completely betrayed her.

Hang Shuheng leaned close to Song Ning's ear and whispered, "Did you see that? This is the sign of a guilty conscience."

Song Ning glanced at him and said, "How are you going to deal with this?"

"Don't worry, the mountain man has a clever plan."

Hang Shuheng stayed in his study the whole afternoon and did not come out to eat until the evening. He drew many small paintings, all of which were common furniture drawings, and bound them into a booklet.

Hang's mother was frustrated because she had not found an opportunity. She spent the whole afternoon in frustration. It was not until she saw the light in the east room was turned off at night that she quietly left the room and tiptoed into the study.

Little did she know that under the moonlight, all her actions were seen by Hang Shuheng and Song Ning in the east room.

"She really went in." Song Ning looked outside through the window and said in a low voice.

"Yeah! It's as expected." Hang Shuheng imagined what kind of expression Manager Wan would have when she handed the small picture album to him. He was a little looking forward to it.

The next morning, after Hang Shuheng entered the study, he glanced at one of the compartments on the antique shelf and found that the booklet that had been placed there was indeed missing. He sneered and when he came out for breakfast, he found that Hang's mother seemed to have gone out. It was not difficult to guess that she must have taken the booklet to trade.

I just don't know how much silver Steward Wan originally promised her, and now that she is trading for a booklet like this, how much can Steward Wan give her?

Thinking of the scene of their transaction, Hang Shuheng couldn't help laughing.

"Daddy, what are you laughing at?" Yangyang asked curiously while eating breakfast when he saw him suddenly laugh.

"Daddy just suddenly thought of something funny." He touched the child's head and said, "Eat quickly!"

"What's so funny? Can't you tell me and mother?"

"Of course not. How should I put it..." Hang Shuheng organized his words before saying, "Once upon a time, there was a rich man who wanted to buy something from someone but the other person refused to sell it to him, so he hired a thief to help him steal..."
