Chapter 1409 Lazy Wife 26
Speaking of it, Brother Chen and his wife, Brother Chen and his wife are even more capitalist than capitalists to their children. They make the children work at home every day and don't give them any money.

It was better for boys, as all the property would be theirs in the future. But when the boys grew up, they saw that they had been stringing beads for several people without getting any salary, so they became unwilling and ran away, just like Chen Dasao's eldest daughter.

This is also normal. Even if the property will be theirs in the future, they work hard now but don't earn a penny. Who would be willing to do that?

Besides, there was more than one boy in the family. The first wife had two and the second wife had three. When the time came, would the eldest brother Chen and his wife, and the second brother Chen and his wife, be able to divide the money earned by these children for stringing beads among them equally? The eldest brother Chen and his friends did not believe that the Chen father and mother would be fair and give them the money. How could their children be so stupid as to believe that they would be fair and give them the money equally?

So when you grow up, you will naturally run away and make your own money and save it yourself.

Elder Brother Chen and his wife, Second Brother Chen and his wife, probably forgot that when they worked under Father Chen, they were good at slacking off. Now that they become parents, they are not necessarily much better than Father Chen.

As a result, they also complained about Linlang, saying that it was their child. They heard that Linlang's child had to be paid to string beads, but they were unhappy and ran away because they didn't pay. They said that Linlang and his wife spoiled the child too much, and the child had become carefree. They said that they raised the child, fed the child, bought clothes for the child, etc., which also cost money. They had already paid, so why did they have to pay a salary? Linlang and Chen Lei were speechless after hearing this. After all, they only provided the children with a few dollars for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they earned much more from the children. No one would be willing to do that.

Why did Linlang and Chen Lei give money to their children? It was because they had plenty of money and did not need to covet their children's little money. At the same time, in order to encourage their children to do things and not become useless just because their family was rich, when the children were willing to string beads, they would be paid piecework wages according to the market price.

——In fact, the first and second branches of the Chen family also have money. After all, they now have a lot of people stringing beads, paying those people a little piece-rate wages and making a lot of profit from the difference from those people. But they just covet the money from their children's beads stringing, so they don't give it to their children.

The two children in Linlang's family sometimes want to earn some pocket money, so they are willing to string some beads. When they chat with their brothers and sisters from the first and second rooms, they will definitely talk about these things. Then the people from the first and second rooms will naturally complain about their parents for not paying them wages. When they grow up, they either run away or quarrel with Brother Chen and others, asking them to give them the wages they deserve. As a result, Brother Chen and others are actually dissatisfied with the Linlang family, which is speechless.

However, they did not dare to complain too much. At most, they just said a few words. After all, they were afraid of ruining their relationship with Linlang. Linlang would no longer have them do manual work. Although it was possible for them to take other manual work, the income would not be as high as that from Linlang, which would not be cost-effective.

They had thought about following Linlang to see where she bought the goods from, so that they wouldn't have to worry about finding something that wasn't worth it. They could follow her and buy from her, so they wouldn't have to worry about offending Linlang and could do the work on their own. Linlang didn't refuse them to follow her, because even if they did, the price they paid would be different from hers. First, because the two of them bought different quantities, the prices they paid would definitely be higher. She bought a larger quantity, so she could get it cheaper. Second, the prices of each company were not fixed, but changed with the market. Sometimes, when there was an urgent need, they would get a cheaper price in order to get more people to do the work. Linlang always investigated the prices before buying the goods.

Besides, the first and second wives of the Chen family didn't know that Linlang was a middleman. They thought she was paid by piecework. So when they came to her, they must want to get some materials to take back and be paid by piecework. In that case, there would be no difference between getting materials from Linlang, because the prices of piecework wages in various small workshops are almost the same.

There is no difference in getting materials, they just don't want to go to those small workshops in person to get them. After all, if they get them from Linlang, they will be paid at any time after the finished products are delivered. However, if they get materials from those workshops, they will not be paid once per work, but once a month. Some will even delay payment. This is what they have experienced when they got materials from other people to do other handicrafts.

There will definitely be no difference in these families. After all, those families will naturally try to suppress their wages for a while. After all, who doesn't want to have money in their own hands?

They once discovered that a company was making a loss and had not paid those people. They had owed them wages for more than a year, but had not yet paid them. If they took materials from these workshops and encountered the same thing, they would suffer a great loss. So they got materials from Linlang to be safe. After all, Linlang was a relative, and they would not dare to owe them money even if they made a loss. Every time the finished products were delivered, the money was paid immediately, and there was never any delay.

Therefore, even if the first and second wives of the Chen family found the workshop where Linlang got the materials, they would not dare to go there to get the materials and make the products themselves, for fear of being owed wages. Linlang naturally knew this, because no matter in this era or in the future, it is common to have arrears of payment for goods or wages. That is why Linlang investigated more closely, and would not deal with any family that showed signs of losses, or had a history of not paying back the money owed. This ensured that after the transaction was completed, they would get the payment immediately. If other people did it themselves, they would not be as clear as Linlang, and if they were not careful, they would be owed a lot of debts and then go out of business. After all, small businesses cannot withstand any storms.

Why would some people still suffer losses when things develop like this?
The reason is very simple - there are many bandits and robbers in this era. If these people's goods are robbed when they are purchasing or shipping, won't they suffer losses?
In addition, if any problems arise with the upstream recipients and they have no funds to settle the payment, these small workshops will also be implicated.

In addition, some people are greedy for huge profits and expand blindly, borrowing money to leverage expansion. Once the goods are delivered, they cannot collect the payment, which can easily lead to huge losses.

So doing business in this era, although profitable, also involves risks, and everyone is walking on a tightrope.

Because they found that if they got materials directly from those small workshops without going through Linlang, they would run the risk of working for nothing and being shortchanged of their wages. So after much deliberation, the first and second branches of the Chen family decided to continue to get materials from Linlang instead of getting them from those small workshops, to avoid wasting their work someday.
