my grandmother

Chapter 152
Jiangnan Silk Headquarters looks very inconspicuous, even the signboard is painted mottled.

In the slightly dim East Wing, President Zhu, with heavy bags under his eyes drooping, listened to the report from the steward Han Qingji, his face became more and more gloomy.

"...The meaning of the few masters is that the industry has to make up for it." Looking at President Zhu's face, Steward Han smiled dryly, and swallowed the rest of the words.

"Every year's subsidy is given to each of their families through your hands. Is it less than a penny?" President Zhu looked at Guanshi Han.

"Never less." Han Guanshi hurriedly bowed and nodded.

"Not only in our industry, but also in other industries, the wages of the porters are not short of a penny. Half of them are paid out, and the other half is subsidized by them. This is an old rule for several years.

"It's not only our business that doesn't lose money for their labor, but other businesses, have you ever heard of any one that loses their money?"

President Zhu was very angry, and what he said was full of anger.

"It's really not missing." Han Guanshi smiled wryly.

"How many women are there in Mr. Zou's backyard? You tell him to raise fewer beauties and take out more money. Give him those porters!" President Zhu snorted.

"Yes." Manager Han didn't dare to say more.

Cailian Lane.

Although Zhang's house looks the same as its neighbors on the outside, with two black-painted courtyard doors, but inside, there are three courtyards side by side with three entrances.

The old lady of the Zhang family gave birth to three sons. The second son died of illness when he was fifteen or sixteen years old. There are three yards. The middle courtyard is the residence of Mr. Zhang and the old lady. , the youngest family lived in the west courtyard.

The third child of the Zhang family came back an hour earlier than usual, and sat in the main room talking with his father, Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang listened intently to his son, looked at him, frowned and said nothing.

"Father, at least [-]% of our warehouse is for fodder business. Mr. Xiao has spoken, what happened?" Zhang Laosan looked at Father with a distressed expression.

"Whatever you want, you can just say it directly, it's just us two." Mr. Zhang leaned back on the back of the chair.

"Sister-in-law's preserved egg store is doing a good business, and the fine cloth is not necessarily more profitable than the preserved egg store. We can't just wipe out our warehouse business that has been passed down for two or three generations because of a business that has just started." Although Zhang Laosan was a little embarrassed, Still made it clear.

Mr. Zhang leaned towards his son and sighed a long time.

"You have always looked down on your elder brother in your heart."

"I didn't!" Zhang Laosan was anxious.

"Just pretend you didn't." Mr. Zhang waved his hands, "You have already made it clear about my plan with your mother, and your elder brother knows it too, but why haven't I said anything?"

Mr. Zhang leaned forward and looked at Mr. Zhang.

"Because sister-in-law doesn't spit out." Zhang Laosan replied reluctantly.

"Well. It's because of this that I didn't spit it out, and I didn't make it clear to you. Now, my father and I will talk about it:
"The warehouse of our family started from a shed in your grandfather's hands, and now it is in your hands. The warehouse is not small, but it can't stand to be dismantled. You can't get along with your elder brother and sister-in-law, and you can't think of being together. The warehouse If you really want to split it up, your elder brother's side must be your sister-in-law. This warehouse must be divided into two roads, one south and one north. Gone."

Zhang Laosan hummed in a low voice.

"At the beginning, your aunt and I worked hard to marry your sister-in-law back because I watched your sister-in-law learn all the skills of their Yin family's preserved egg business. I originally thought that I would let your sister-in-law do the preserved egg business. The family is easy to divide, and the warehouse is for you. Your elder brother and sister-in-law have a preserved egg business, and they each do their own thing.

"But your sister-in-law has a stubborn temper. After all these years of tempering her temper, she finally figured it out. The business has finally started. Now you let her stop the business because of the warehouse."

Mr. Zhang sighed.

"Let me get to the front. If your sister-in-law doesn't spit out, the house will be divided equally, and the warehouse will be divided into two halves. You and your elder brother were born by me and your mother. This bowl of water must be leveled."

"I didn't say not to let my sister-in-law do business, I just complained to you, there is no other meaning." Zhang Laosan hurriedly confessed.

"You are not as good as your daughter-in-law. Look at your wife. Since your sister-in-law started her business, your daughter-in-law has done all the housework and doesn't talk about it. Your sister-in-law will do whatever she wants, and she will put your sister-in-law first in everything." At the front." Mr. Zhang shook his head and sighed.

"I'm just complaining. Master Xiao made it clear that this is the meaning of President Shi of the Silk Industry. President Shi is an official, and Master Xiao dare not offend him. Dad, look, how about I prepare something Li, let’s go to Master Xiao’s house and take a look?” Zhang Laosan explained, and hurriedly interrupted.

"Well, it's not surprising that there are many polite people, it's good to go there." Mr. Zhang changed the subject accordingly.

The sisters of the Li family had dinner, and just as Li Yinzhu was being sent away, Sister-in-law Yin came in with a small basket of big red pomegranates.

Li Jinzhu let in Sister-in-law Yin, Li Yuzhu and Sister Mei were busy passing chairs to pour tea, Li Xiaonan looked at Sister-in-law Yin with her chin resting on her cheek.

Sister Yin's face is not very good, she is obviously angry.

"Mr. Xiucai hasn't come back yet?" Sister-in-law Yin took a sip of the tea, looked around, and first chatted politely.

"It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, and I went to Kunshan County yesterday to give gifts." Li Jinzhu smiled.

"Your family's scholar is really kind, knowledgeable, good-tempered, and a better person. That sister of the Gao family is really blessed." Sister-in-law Yin said with emotion.

"Did brother make sister-in-law angry?" Li Xiaonan asked with a smile.

"Look at this little girl, how clever she is!" Sister Yin laughed halfway, stopped laughing, and let out a long sigh, "When I was young, I loved listening to storytelling, and the storytelling always talked about women's long hair but short knowledge, women The family is weak and boneless, but I have lived to this day, and I have seen it, and these short-sighted people, why are they all men?"

Li Jinzhu looked at Li Yuzhu in surprise after hearing what Sister-in-law Yin said seriously.

Li Xiaonan rested her chin, waiting for Sister-in-law Yin to continue.

She likes to talk to sister-in-law Yin the most. She doesn't need to talk, just listen to sister-in-law Yin.

"We are not outsiders, I don't turn corners, just speak straight!

"As soon as I got home, Dabao's father came over. You didn't see his old face, shining red, and his eyes, shining brightly!

"When I first came up, I told me that the brother-in-law of Yu Xinglao, who was in the silk industry, came to him. After this sentence, I then told me that the silk industry is an official industry. It is so powerful, it is even more powerful than the Pingjiang government office. Dozens of times, this old Yu Xing is only in his early thirties, and he is now old. Not only is he old, he is also President Shi's confidant, no, he is the most confidant! The most confidant!

"Pooh!"

Sister Yin spat violently.

"It seems that if you say this, the glory of other people's ability belongs to him!

"Then said, the brother-in-law said, let me be the shopkeeper of their house, and they will double as much as I take from us.

"You didn't see his old face. I asked him and I said you agreed? He shook five fingers with me, and I spit on his face at that time, and I told you to go! People are looking for you, you are amazing Now, you are terrible, you have grown up, then you go!"

Li Jinzhu pursed her lips tightly.

Li Xiaonan answered, "Yu Xing's hometown wanted to dig you out, why didn't he find you in the shop? Why did he turn this corner? Is it because he thinks that big brother is an honest man?"

"Because they are all men! Women are not human beings, men have to be the masters of the house! Bah!" Sister Yin spat again.

Li Xiaonan let out an ooh slowly, stared straight for a moment, then suddenly shouted: "We will only do business with women from now on!"

Sister Yin was taken aback by her shout, "What's wrong with this little girl?"

"I've been thinking about how our fine cloth business can be done differently from others. Now that I think about it, you see, we are all women, right? Then let's do women's business! Our looms are on credit To a woman, our contract is signed with the woman, we only buy fine cloth from the woman, and hand over the copper tin to the woman!" Li Xiaonan's voice was flying.

"Oh, it's so nice! I like it like this!" Sister-in-law Yin laughed out loud.
