Chapter 444 Poor people must have something to hate

Xiao Wujin was busy getting money for Liangzhou, and the next few days were very busy.

Shen Ru took the time to return to the Shen family and talked to her parents about whether to return to the capital.

"Aru, your aunt told us about this. We really don't want to go back to the capital." Shen's mother said with emotion, "And you and Cui Ti are having a holiday, so it would be embarrassing for us to go back."

"But I also think that your sister, the Xu family, and the Capital Academy will be more beneficial to your brother's future scientific examination and officialdom..." Shen's mother had many things to think about, and Shen Ru felt a little overwhelmed.

"Mom, Xuanxuan is ten years old and Nian'er is seven. You have a lot to think about!"

"Hey, your father said the same, that's all, let's give it a few years!" Mother Shen sighed, she was too busy, wasn't she?
"Madam, Mr. Qian is here to visit." A servant came to report.

"It's your second aunt here, please let her in!" Mother Shen was stunned for a moment when she heard Qian's name.

Qian was surprised that Shen Ru was also there, but even after arriving, she still talked about the embroidery.

"Sister-in-law, it's really not easy for me to run a shop. Aru, you were so estranged from your second aunt when there were outsiders here, right? Now we are all a family, so you should help your second aunt!"

Qian said with a bitter face. Shen's mother didn't know why and couldn't help but look at Shen Ru.

"Second Aunt, this was made clear in the shop. Everything is in accordance with the contract. If you say you won't do it and you won't do it, then you will be compensated according to the contract!"

Qian was at a loss for words, and then looked at Mother Shen: "Sister-in-law, you were the one who pushed for this embroidery workshop before. Ah Ru is making things difficult for me because you want the embroidery workshop to close down!"

"How can this be said to be an embarrassment? According to what you just said, you want to end the cooperation with Qiaoyanfang, but this double-sided embroidery is from Qiaoyanfang. If you want to take other people's things and sell them yourself, you have to pay Ah!" Mother Shen frowned and said, "Aru, have you told me about this before?"

"Yes, mother, the second aunt told me about this in the shop a few days ago. There was still unfinished embroidery at that time, so I naturally wanted to let the second aunt finish it first. Since the second aunt doesn't want to cooperate, then I don’t want to embarrass anyone, but at this moment, our Qiaoyan Studio has to find a new embroidery studio, and the embroiderer will also suffer a big loss, so we follow the contract!"

"In addition, this double-sided embroidery was taught by Bai Qianqian to Second Aunt and her embroiderer. This is also mentioned in the contract. Second Aunt, you are right. We can't control your hands. You You can embroider whatever you like, and if the cooperation ends, you will just lose the money!"

Mrs. Qian was originally going to complain to Shen's mother about her poverty, but because of Shen Ruzai, her plan was disrupted. When she heard Shen Ru's words again, her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Sister-in-law, my life is miserable. My husband is gone and my daughter is gone. My only hope in life is to raise Feng'er. The life of an orphan and a widowed mother is so difficult. I only have these hands, embroidering stitch by stitch, Is it wrong that I just want to make more money?" Qian covered her face and sobbed: "The embroiderers in the embroidery workshop also want to increase their wages. Double-sided embroidery is time-consuming and laborious, and most of the profits belong to your shop, Aru. , you are a big bully in the store!"

"Second Aunt, you can't say that. Do you know what is the most expensive? It's the technique! Bai Qianqian is a lady trained by the Bai family with a lot of effort. This double-sided embroidery was also taught by a famous master. She has negotiated a cooperation with you. Then I will teach you double-sided embroidery. Do you pretend that the cost is not apparent?"

Shen Ru doesn't think Qian is poor. Crying about being poor doesn't mean he is really poor.Not to mention the several hundred taels of silver left by Shen Ping, and the house; the embroidery workshop was originally in her mother's name. After settling part of the money, she didn't even mention the rent to Qian!

The capital of this embroidery workshop is silk handkerchief, embroidery thread, and the embroiderer's wages, but she has seen that the embroidery workshop made more money before when it was popular.

"Second Aunt, since you have decided to end the cooperation with Qiaoyanfang, you will pay compensation according to the contract." Shen Ru said firmly. "Sister-in-law, listen, Ah Ru is trying to force me to death!" Qian turned to Shen's mother and cried.

"You can't say that. Aru, this is also justified. You say it's difficult for you, but it's not difficult for anyone. The master and I can't make a living. There are so many servants in this family, and the two children are here. Go to school, hey, our Xuanxuan is getting older too, and speaking of which, I also want to hire a female artist, musician, and calligrapher and painter for her, which is full of money!"

Shen Ru glanced at Shen's mother, this didn't look like a misfortune, but more like Versailles!
Look at Qian's face again, it's really ugly!

"Second Aunt, don't say that I don't care about your kindness. You are the one who broke the contract. But for the sake of relatives, the penalty for breach of contract will be halved and our store will be given 100 taels, so the matter will be over." Shen Ru was also annoyed with Qian. entangled.

"100 taels, this...how much embroidery will be sold? Even a handkerchief worth 100 taels of silver will cost fifty pieces!" Qian exclaimed, "Aru, these [-] taels of silver, For you..."

"It's even more difficult for us. How much does it cost to sell a two-penny cotton pad? Second aunt can figure it out herself?"

"But..." Qian still wanted to say, but was interrupted by Shen Ru as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Moreover, after the second aunt returns, I'm afraid she will tell the customers that her embroidery shop can also sell double-sided embroidery. This will be another shock to us!" Shen Ru said with emotion, "I also care about these hundred taels. It’s for my aunt’s sake.”

"Aru, you are the governor's wife..."

"We adults are poor, who doesn't know it?" Shen Ru did not let Qian continue.

"Sister-in-law..." Qian couldn't say anything to Shen Ru, so she could only look at Shen's mother.

Shen's mother was really jealous of the Qian family. How could she be so disobedient to the contract when she was learning to do business?

"If you can't pay even 100 taels, your embroidery workshop will really be opened again." Mother Shen said, "You can't always act like a mother-in-law when doing things!"

Qian's face turned white and red, feeling very embarrassed.After a final calculation, he gritted his teeth and said: "Aru, I will go to your shop tomorrow. I have already cleared the money and goods before. If I give these 100 taels, this contract will not count!"

"Yes, I will tell Bai Qianqian." Shen Ru glanced at Qian and could guess what she was thinking.

But doesn’t Mr. Qian know that many of the previous customers of the embroidery shop did it for the sake of the Shen family; and the customers who needed double-sided embroidery were even more affluent. When buying double-sided embroidery, do they really like it or do they? Want to get married?
Qian walked away resentfully, obviously taking advantage of her, but still looking hurt.

"Mom, I don't think Second Aunt's embroidery shop can continue to operate!" Shen Ru said sincerely, "She can't use this trick on other customers!"

"She has such a temper. When she was bullied by the Feng family in the past, she could only act submissively. She has short-sightedness and is not as hot-tempered as the Yang family. Shen Ping was there to help her before. I am afraid that the road ahead will be even harder!" Shen The mother sighed and said, "Even if they, orphans and widowed mothers, come to our door for help, let alone your father's heart, I can't harden my heart!"

"It would be better if you refuse a few more times!" Shen Ru said, poor people must be hateful.
