Mingmen Family

Chapter 70 The Best Solution

Seeing that her husband didn't speak, she finally softened her heart, and said: "Ming'er means half and half. The family can't afford money. This is the best way. No matter what, the fat and water will not flow to outsiders. Mr. Lu, Mr. Qi If you want to do business with us in partnership, say you are going to buy tea from another place, who knows what the situation is? What if you can’t buy it? Our tea business in Lin’an is still going on, so it won’t have much impact. Half of it is our sincerity. Mr. Lu and Mr. Qi can't say anything."

"It's normal for Ming'er to have selfish intentions. If it weren't for her ideas these days, and the sweet-scented osmanthus tea she made, we don't know what's going on with our family now. She has put in so much effort, and the money she makes is definitely Is it okay for the first house to take it all? Rao has adopted her current idea, and the second house only takes [-]%, and she is not greedy."

Ye Chongming said: "I can understand Ming'er's selfishness. Even if she doesn't tell me, I won't treat her and the second room badly. But now, the family business has become the daughter-in-law's business, and I always feel it's inappropriate. .”

"Since you said you won't treat her badly, then it will be like this. The public will give 5000 taels, the big house will give 1 taels, and the second house will give 5000 taels. The second house father and daughter worked hard to make sweet-scented osmanthus tea and chrysanthemum tea, accounting for 5000 taels. Shares of taels of silver, that’s enough to make up [-] taels. As for the third and fourth houses, let’s take [-] taels each. And these shares, let alone the shares of the daughter-in-law, are only counted as the shares of the couple. It can be considered that the fat and water don’t flow into outsiders’ fields.”

It stands to reason that Sifang caused such a big trouble, this time they shouldn't be brought anyway.

But the fourth daughter-in-law Zhang Shi is really a troublemaker, and Mrs. Ye has a headache thinking about her troublesome energy.She also favors the youngest son in her heart.Other houses can make private money, but he can't. He will have no money to use, and he won't get her here to make trouble for her?

So she was biased again and included the fourth bedroom.

With this private money, Ye Hongrong has no reason to ask her, a mother, to ask for it again in the future.The money in the public can no longer be left to him.Perhaps the first and second bedrooms would like this.

Hearing this, Ye Chongming smiled wryly again: "If the big house and the second house can get 2 taels of silver, I don't have to worry about it a few days ago. In the big house, the Tao family is here, maybe I can scrape together more than 1 taels of silver; and then go to Tao’s house to borrow, 5000 taels will not be a problem. But Erfang definitely doesn’t have that much silver, 1 taels is enough.”

"Then don't worry about it, just tell them what Ming'er said to the second room. Since she dared to make suggestions for the participation of the women's families in each room, she would like to have some money from the Yin family, at least 1 taels." .”

A total of 2 taels of silver will be raised, and the family can afford 1 taels of silver.According to Ye Yaming, that is [-] yuan each for the remaining four rooms.So she should have the confidence to take out the [-] taels.

Ye Chongming was surprised: "The second child is an honest man, and he never cheated on his father-in-law's money, and he didn't handle business matters. Yin's natal family is not rich, so where do you think Ming'er is going to make money?" 1 taels of silver?"

Mrs. Ye shook her head: "I can't think of it."

Her third granddaughter, she is getting more and more incomprehensible.

After thinking about it, she said: "Both the second child and Yin's are frugal, and they have saved three to four thousand taels of silver over the years. If Yin's jewelry is pawned, you can get a few hundred taels. Ming Er and Yin'er's jewelry can also be combined into a few hundred taels. The rest..."

She frowned and thought for a long time, then shook her head and said, "I really don't know."

Ye Chongming asked again: "Do you have money in your hand?"

Old Mrs. Ye laughed when she heard it, and said angrily, "I know you remember my private money."

She nodded and said: "Ming'er has indeed made a great contribution. Compared with the first room, the second room is indeed too poor. I help them pay for the poor money of the second room, and it is considered as a loan to them."

She paused: "Whether it is a loan or not, I can't say anything about other houses."

Ye Chongming was relieved, and promised: "If their money is not too bad, I will return it to you when the sweet-scented osmanthus tea is sold; if it is much worse, then they can only pay it back when the tea is sold next spring. "

Although the sweet-scented osmanthus tea is sold, there will be money back, but the shopkeepers and waiters of the tea factory, tea house, and tea house have to be supported. They all want silver.

So Ye Chongming could only pay back the money owed to his old wife slowly.

"This matter can't be delayed, you have to give Mr. Lu an answer earlier." Ye Chongming saw that the time seemed too late, and it would not be good to ask Ye Yaming to come over, so he hesitated.

"Let Nanny Yu go." Mrs. Ye suggested.

Ye Chongming had no objection.

Nanny Yu went to Ye Yaming's courtyard and said to her: "The old man thinks the girl's suggestion is very good. But after discussing with the old lady, he decided to pay 2 taels of silver for the public, and 5000 taels for the big house." The second room takes 1 taels of silver, plus the credits of osmanthus tea and chrysanthemum, and it counts as a share of 5000 taels. The other three and four rooms each contribute 5000 taels."

After finishing speaking, she said again: "The old lady said, if the girl doesn't have the money, she can help to make it up."

Ye Yaming secretly praised Ye Chongming's idea in his heart.

In fact, his idea is the idea of ​​a serious businessman.

Ye Hongrong of the fourth room got into such a disaster and caused a huge loss to the family. It's fine for the other three rooms not to let him be responsible for the money. If there is a good deal, they will take him and give him a share. Why?
As for the third bedroom, Mrs. Ye felt sorry for the third daughter-in-law who was a widow at a young age, and she often received rewards and subsidies on weekdays.Ye Yaming also felt very sympathetic to the third wife and the cousin, no matter how much the old lady gave, she didn't mind, and she even thought it was okay to share an extra share when the family was separated.

But in business matters, one yard is equal to one yard, and the right answer is to reward meritorious deeds.Otherwise, who is willing to work hard to do things and let others enjoy the benefits?
But it is a family at any rate, and it is a bit unreasonable not to bring them along if there is a chance to earn private money.Four-bedroom couples can make a fuss, and three-bedrooms are pitiful. When the time comes, four-bedrooms will have a moth, and third-bedrooms will say that the Ye family bullies orphans and widows, which is not good.

So let them also take shares, but with a smaller proportion, which can be regarded as considering all aspects.

She originally said that she would take 1 taels of silver shares, but Erfang really couldn't get the silver.But she remembered that Ye Hongsheng once bought an inkstone, which appeared to be more simple in style and plain in texture.In the previous life, because the original owner often used the inkstone, when she got married, Yin put it in the dowry and asked her to take it to the Song family.

Later, Song Yifeng discovered that the inkstone was an ancient relic, and a colleague who liked the inkstone bought it for 8000 taels of silver.But he lied to the original owner that the inkstone was accidentally broken by him.
