Chapter 238 Going to My Mother's House
Now, those nieces and nephews not only did not understand her difficulties, but instead blamed her. How could she tolerate this?
So she quickly explained, "That's not true! I never agreed to let you do this business. I just mentioned that Xiaocao had come up with a new thing, and I didn't even have the chance to make it clear who I was going to cooperate with!"
Besides, our family business has always been managed by Sanmao and his family. The child’s father and I have never asked about business matters, and we will not make decisions for the children! "
However, at this moment, Li secretly snorted in her heart: Humph, I was just showing off to them at that time, how come it is now rumored that I have agreed to let them do it? I really think too much!
"Aunt, you said it yourself at that time that if Xiaocaoer could come up with any new gadgets again, you would have to give it to our family! You can't deny this!" The person who spoke was my second cousin's wife from my eldest uncle's family, and she looked at Li with anticipation on her face.
Mrs. Li frowned slightly, her tone somewhat helpless: "Just give it to me if I say so? It's not that simple! This matter must be approved by the brothers and sisters. Just like the brine business back then, it was only after the brothers and sisters and the old lady agreed that it could be given to our family. I'm just a daughter-in-law. If I take all the good things to my parents' home, what will my mother-in-law think of me?
Besides, the old lady is the boss of the family now, so it's not my turn to make the final decision." After saying that, Li curled her lips, looking like she didn't care about anything.
Seeing Li's attitude, the second cousin's wife from her eldest uncle's family quickly turned to Old Lady Yang and said in a flattering manner, "Old lady, please be kind and say something. Let Xiaocao'er's maternal family do the soap business for a living! Look at our big family, the little business we have now is far from enough.
Please be generous and give us the soap recipe! We will do everything and the profits will be divided into 30% and 70% respectively. You just need to wait at home and count the money." As he said this, he kept winking at Old Lady Yang, trying to please her.
At this moment, Old Lady Yang was sitting upright on a chair, her wrinkled face full of gloom. It was obvious that she was filled with rage after hearing those words.
However, despite this, she still suppressed her unhappiness, tried to make her tone sound calmer, and asked, "Didn't you hear what Sanmao said just now? He has already signed a contract with Qi Dongjia and others. If he wants to break the contract now and then transfer the prescription to you, he will have to pay compensation! So, who will pay the compensation?"
When my second uncle's cousin's wife, who was standing nearby, heard this, she quickly waved her hands and shook her head, and replied anxiously: "Oh, how could it be possible that our family would pay this amount of money!"
At this time, Sanmao couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "In your opinion, who should bear the cost?"
Li, who was standing by, also agreed, "Yes, you tell me, which family should be the most appropriate to pay for this sum of money?"
The aunt frowned and sighed, "One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. Our family can't afford that much money anyway."
The second aunt also looked embarrassed and replied with a bitter face: "Yes, even if we sell all the valuable things in the house, even if we sell everything, I'm afraid it will be difficult to raise this amount."
"Aunt! Your family can hardly gather this much money, do you think my family can come up with it easily? We have two people in our family who are studying! And they will be going to the capital to study soon. Which of the food, clothing, housing and transportation along the way will not cost a lot of money? You should take a closer look, how many decent and valuable items can we have in our house? How big is the difference between our family and yours?" Sanmao spread his hands helplessly and said with a wry smile.
At this time, the second cousin from my uncle's family suddenly interrupted and said, "Isn't Damao studying with the teacher?" As soon as he finished speaking, there was a chorus of agreement from all around.
"Yes, yes, since Damao is studying with the teacher, why does he need such a high fee?" Everyone was talking among themselves. Originally, there were only a few young wives chattering there, but now there were finally other voices.
Seeing this, Sanmao couldn't help but shake his head, sighed and explained: "You all don't know, although Damao is studying with a teacher, do you think that the teacher should bear all the expenses of the students? If it is really like this, which teacher will be willing to recruit disciples in the future? I believe you all know that even if you go to the town to be an apprentice, you will not get a penny before you have completed your studies and become a master! What do you think about my brother and Simao's education?"
