Chapter 240 Calculation
She couldn't help but secretly think with pride: Our family is not simple, not only do we have houses and shops in this city, but now we have even opened shops in the capital. It won't be long before we can buy real estate in the capital. These are beyond the reach of your Li family.
In the past, I didn't argue with you about the share of the marinated food and bean products business for the sake of the Li family. But now you are planning to take over my soap business. Humph, don't blame me for not considering your Li family's feelings!
"No, our family can't come up with 90,000 taels of silver. The most we can come up with is 10,000 taels. Sanmao, go and talk to Mr. Qi. Didn't you sign the contract with Mr. Zheng before? Mr. Zheng is the grandson of Mr. Zheng. If you talk to him about this, you will definitely be able to get the prescription back without paying any money." After hesitating for a long time, the second cousin finally spoke.
He and his wife had thought about this long ago. If he could get back the soap recipe, he would definitely become the supervisor. After all, the big brother had always been in charge of the brine bean products. Now that there was a new business opportunity, it was logically his turn.
Hearing this, Sanmao could not help but retort: "Second cousin, how can you say that? Although Hua Ming is the grandson of the master, he is also a serious businessman! In the business world, the most important thing is to abide by the spirit of the contract.
Since we have already signed the contract, how can we go back on our word? If we go back on our word this time, who will be willing to cooperate with us in the future? If we are so dishonest, how can we go far in the future? "
Sanmao really looked down on this cousin, and muttered to herself that her second cousin was not like this in the past. At that time, he had a far-sighted vision, acted decisively, and even said that he wanted to go studying abroad. Unlike now, after getting married, he has become so timid and short-sighted, and only knows to listen to his wife's opinions. It really makes people speechless.
"Oh! What should we do? We simply don't have that much money on hand! Sanmao, why don't you go and call Xiaocao out? Maybe she can come up with some countermeasures." The second cousin's wife from my eldest uncle's family said with a worried look on her face.
At this time, my eldest cousin's wife from my eldest uncle's family hurriedly spoke out to stop her, saying, "Sister-in-law, Xiaocao'er just went to bed not long ago, it's better not to disturb her."
However, my second uncle's cousin's wife said disapprovingly, "Sister-in-law, Xiaocao has been sleeping for quite a while, so she must not be too sleepy now. Hurry up and call her out to help us think of a solution, otherwise when can we start producing soap? And even if it is done, we have to wait another ten days before we can ship it out for sale."
While everyone was arguing about this, Old Lady Yang suddenly asked, "Why are you making such a fuss? What on earth do you want to call my little Cao out for? She has been drowsy and confused for the past few days. Today she finally gets a good night's sleep, but you want to disturb her sweet dreams. Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for her? Besides, didn't Sanmao tell you long ago that this is what the contract we signed with Xingyun stipulates? If your family really has enough silver, then just take it out and pay them back; if you really can't come up with the money, then don't be so foolish!"
Today, Old Lady Yang finally saw the Li family thoroughly! Those elders didn't say a word, and let those young wives throw tantrums and make trouble here. Humph, Old Lady Yang knew what these people were thinking, and they just waited until the end to say hypocritically: "These young people are ignorant, I hope you can tolerate them, and forgive them generously." It's a pity that their little tricks have been seen through by Old Lady Yang!
At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice was heard: "Grandma, are you calling me? What's the noise?" Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a small figure appear at the door.
It turned out to be Xiao Cao'er, with her hair disheveled and falling on her shoulders like a waterfall; she was casually wearing a small blanket, like a cute little bear baby; she was standing there shakily in a pair of thick cotton shoes. She looked like she had just woken up, and perhaps because of her sleepy eyes, her pink little face was slightly flushed, just as beautiful as the first blooming peach blossoms in spring.
"Oh my, my darling, who the hell woke you up? Come in quickly, don't stand at the door, or you might catch a cold!" Old Mrs. Yang felt very distressed. As she spoke, she pointed at Sanmao, signaling him to quickly carry Xiaocao'er to her bed.
When Sanmao heard Xiaocao'er's clear and pleasant voice, he jumped up from his seat instantly, picked up Xiaocao'er with nimble movements, and strode towards Old Lady Cheng's couch with firm steps.
"My girl, why did you come out? Why don't you sleep a little longer? The Taoist priest told you yesterday to rest more so that you can recover faster and better!" Li came forward with a concerned look on her face, stretched out her hands and tightly grasped Xiaocao'er's slender and tender hands, gently stroking them, as if feeling the warmth of life transmitted from them. After confirming that the pair of hands were as warm as before, Li's heart slowly fell back to its original position.
