Chapter 838 Sun Shan’s Pockets Are Full

Because of Liu Jiayuan's invitation, the news that Sun Shan was good at growing flowers spread through different channels unconsciously.

From time to time, someone would invite Sun Shan to the garden to help check things over.

Sun Shan usually checks the question description on the invitation first.

They would only go see a doctor if the case was particularly serious or they were unsure. For obvious problems, they would let Sun Dali and Sun Dingnan take care of them.

Every time he is invited, the owner will give gifts or red envelopes to varying degrees.

Sun Shan accepted everything that came to him, as these were the fruits of his own labor and what he deserved.

There are very few people like him who are willing to point out problems, make suggestions and teach how to grow flowers better.

They were lucky to meet Sun Shan.

Gradually, Sun Shan's wallet became fatter. He actually earned five or six hundred taels of silver and a lot of gifts.

Sun Dingnan and Sun Dali drooled as they looked at the pile of gifts and red envelopes.

Comparing the days and nights of carrying sacks at the dock, the two suddenly felt that people are different, and people with the surname Sun are even more different. No wonder Sun Shan could become a Jinshi.

With this ability to make money, he is far ahead of all the men, women and children in Sunjia Village. He is worthy of being the smartest person in Sunjia Village in a hundred years.

Sun Shan simply asked Sun Dali and Sun Dingnan not to work at the dock, but to follow him to the various gardens to broaden their horizons.

Sun Shan would rather pay them his wages than let them work at the dock.

Carrying sacks every day is unbearable even if you are young and strong. It is better to follow him and work.

Sun Dingnan, Sun Dali, and Gui Ge'er ate a lot of good food every day, and the personal nanny also received a lot of benefits from Sun Shan.

Whenever someone gave her a gift, Sun Shan would leave a portion for her - cakes, candies, tea, etc.

The value is not very high, but the thought is full.

The personal nanny was so happy that she wished she could treat Sun Shan as her own son-in-law.

No, he is closer to her than her biological son-in-law. Her own son-in-law doesn’t care about her that much.

The He family also received many gifts from Sun Shan.

Madam He said disapprovingly: "Shanzi, these are given to you by others. They are yours. You don't need to give them to us."

Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Grandma, you have been caring for me since the day I came to Beijing. Now that I have finally found some things, you let me borrow some flowers to pay tribute to the Buddha.

In the capital, you are my only family. If I don’t give these things to you, who should I give them to?

We are a family, and when we get good things, we should share them together. I am so happy that there is something you like in it. Grandma, please don’t be too polite. If you are too polite, you will treat me as an outsider. "

Since Sun Shan said so, Mrs. He accepted everything.

In the evening, he said to Minister He, "Master, Shanzi is better than our son-in-law. The things our own son-in-law gives us are not as good as Shanzi's. In all these years, we have never eaten the food of our own son-in-law.

Shanzi is different. He brings good things to us. Hey, my third sister-in-law has found a good grandson-in-law. I am so envious. If Shanzi were a few years older, I would definitely marry my daughter to him. "

Minister He was very upset when he heard this. Since his son-in-law was working away from home, it was natural for his daughter to follow him.

So they haven't seen their daughter and son-in-law for a long time.

But I also give them New Year gifts every year, how could my wife forget?

Minister He then thought about it and realized that his daughter and son-in-law did give them gifts every year.

But compared with Sun Shan's pile of generous gifts, although they were given to him by others, he was willing to give them away after all.

It seems that they eat more of Sun Shan's food than his daughter and son-in-law.

Yesterday, someone gave Sun Shan a thank-you gift, which included a pack of pre-rain Longjing tea. Sun Shan took it and gave it to him to taste.

Minister He couldn't wait to take a bite. Wow, it was indeed the best of the best and worth a lot of money.

What about my son-in-law? Where has he ever been given such a gift?

In this comparison, Sun Shan wins.

Minister He sighed and said, "Third brother is indeed good at finding a good husband for Yun Jie'er. Sun Shan may not look good, but he is a good person. Marry a man to get food and clothing. The worst thing to do is to marry someone who is just good-looking. You must marry a capable man. Sun Shan does have some skills."

Madam He immediately added, "He is more than just somewhat capable. He is extremely capable! A farmer's son passed the imperial examination at the age of 23. He is truly young and promising. He may have great fortune in the future."

Madam He seemed to have thought of something and asked hurriedly, "Master, has Shanzi got his position? Didn't I hear there was a vacancy yesterday? What did Shanzi say?"

Speaking of this, Minister He became angry.

He shook his head and said, "There was a vacancy for the position of county magistrate in Shandong, so I went to ask Ah Shan for his opinion. But he thought it was too far and didn't want to go."

When Sun Shan heard the word Shandong, he immediately shook his head.

Shandong is not the northernmost province, but it is also quite northern. It is tens of thousands miles away from Sunjia Village, which is not convenient at all for family reunions.

Sun Shan said that he needed to wait and see and there was no need to be too anxious now.

Mrs. He was very happy to hear that it was Shandong. It was far from Sunjia Village, but close to the capital. Maybe she could go to visit Sun Shan.

Sun Shan was unwilling to go, and Madam He sighed and said, "Shandong is indeed far from home. Shanzi is the most filial, no wonder he is unwilling. I heard from the nanny that Shanzi bought a large golden bracelet for mother, which cost a full 100 taels. Oh, such a filial son is rare. Shanzi's mother's life is worth it, having such a good son."

Old Madam He then recalled that her own children had never given her such an expensive gift.

On the contrary, the grandchildren still have to paste it themselves from time to time.

After such a comparison, Old Madam He became angry.

Minister He's focus was not on Sun Shan's filial piety, so he asked, "Why did you only give it to his mother, but not to Yun Jie'er?"

Aren't Sun Shanhe and Yun Jie'er childhood sweethearts and have a deep relationship? Why didn't he think of giving it to Yun Jie'er?

Could it be that the image of the “loving wife” is all fictitious?

Old Madam He said with a smile, "Everywhere. Not only Sister Yun has one, but also Shanzi's grandmother, father, and sisters. It's just that the one given to Shanzi's mother is the most expensive.

After a pause, he continued, "Children must be filial to their parents, and there is nothing wrong with Shanzi doing this."

Old Madam He is also a mother, so of course she hopes her children will be especially nice to her, and her wife must come second.

Not to mention Sun Shan, Minister He is the same.

When her mother-in-law was alive, she listened to her in everything. As a daughter-in-law, her opinions could never compare to her mother-in-law's.

Old Madam He naturally thought that A'niang must have a higher status than his wife.

A wife can be replaced, but a mother cannot be replaced. It is clear at a glance who is more important.

Madam He instructed Minister He: "Master, you have to help Shanzi keep an eye out for any vacancies close to home and arrange for Shanzi to go there immediately. We have to hurry up."

Minister He rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "I know, don't worry!"
