Chapter 237 Two explanations
"We have to compensate Mr. Qi with one hundred thousand taels of silver!" As soon as Sanmao finished speaking, it was like a powerful grenade that exploded instantly, shocking everyone present and making their minds go blank.
"What? One hundred thousand taels of silver?" someone exclaimed in disbelief.
"We actually have to pay compensation to the Qi family?" another person also shouted.
"Why are there so many?" someone else questioned in confusion.
When everyone finally recovered from their shock, all kinds of noises suddenly rang out one after another.
"Then who should pay the 100,000 taels of silver?" The second cousin's wife from my uncle's family asked with a trembling voice, obviously frightened by the huge amount of compensation.
"Whoever wants to use that recipe to do business will pay. Or to put it simply, whoever plans to make soap will have to pay." Sanmao answered slowly.
"But...but, this recipe was clearly worked out by Xiaocao'er with great effort!" My second uncle's cousin's wife couldn't help but interrupt and asked, her face full of confusion and dissatisfaction.
"Yes, the recipe was indeed made by Xiaocao." Sanmao nodded in agreement, and then went on to explain: "But now this business has been bought out by the Qi family. From now on, only the Qi family can run it. If others want to do this business, they must first obtain the consent of the Qi family."
"The recipe was actually bought out by the Qi family? Oh my God! How much money did he pay?" The second cousin's wife of my uncle's family asked anxiously with her eyes wide open. Her voice was so sharp that it seemed to penetrate the sky.
"That's right. Tell me quickly, how much silver did he give you? Humph, it's not that our family can't afford the money!" My second uncle's cousin's wife was not to be outdone. She quickly stepped forward and asked, with expectation and unwillingness in her eyes.
At this time, my third uncle's cousin's wife criticized him without any hesitation: "Hey, what's wrong with you? You didn't even discuss it with us before selling the house for such a big deal? Are you afraid that our family can't afford the money? It's really outrageous!"
"That's right, what a big deal! My aunt had clearly told us before that this soap was specially made for our family. But now you sell the recipe to that Qi family without even asking. What should we do? You have to give us an explanation!" My second cousin's wife from my uncle's family put her hands on her hips, her face full of dissatisfaction and anger.
At this time, the uncles and aunts from my maternal grandparents' family, who were supposed to be actively participating in the discussion, were unusually silent. They sat quietly in a corner of the room, like outsiders, watching the cousins-in-law asking Sanmao questions in rapid succession, with sharp and merciless words.
For a moment, the whole room seemed to be shrouded by an invisible pressure. The tense and extremely awkward atmosphere seemed to be solidified, making it difficult for people to breathe.
However, in this noisy and dull scene, Sanmao suddenly smiled and broke the brief silence. She turned around and asked Li softly, "Mom, have you mentioned to my grandparents before that you plan to hand over the soap-making business to them? But why have I never heard you mention this? If you really said that you wanted to give the soap to my grandparents, I would definitely not sign the contract with the owner of the Qi family without authorization. But now, the contract has come into effect and has been finalized. If we want to break the contract unilaterally, we will have to pay a full 100,000 taels of silver to Brother Xingyun!"
When Li heard this, she could not help but feel angry. She glared at the rude nieces and sisters-in-law and recalled the scene that day - she had only mentioned casually that her daughter Xiaocao had come up with a new thing called soap, and she had never expressed her intention to let her parents run this business!
When he returned home and heard that his daughter wanted to bring Goudan's family and Tietou's family to do this business together, and even planned to give them 10% of the profits, he couldn't help but feel angry. This girl actually acted on her own without discussing it with him in advance! Suddenly, he was filled with anger and impulsively blurted out that he wanted to hand over this business to her maternal family. But in fact, this matter had not been mentioned to her parents' family at all.
