Early the next morning, Chen Xi's aunt Yang Shen went to the pharmacy alone to discuss the matter. Obviously, Yang Ling and he felt that he and his wife came with each other yesterday, and there were many things that could not be discussed with Hui Niang, who was a widow, so he simply explained to his wife and asked Yang Shen to come and negotiate.

While talking, Yang Shen found that Chen Xi was staying in the room to write homework and frowned, but when he saw that Hui Niang and Zhou had no intention of driving people, he held back.

Yang Shen asked about borrowing money, and he only had 300 taels of silver. He didn't say when he would return it. He just played the emotional card, making Zhou reluctantly help.

Zhou was soft-hearted and was about to agree, but Hui Niang refused first: "Sister Shen, it's not that we don't want to help you, but that we are really unable to catch it. Or you are not sure about the situation of the Shen family. Every time Sister Zhou pays the money she gets from the pharmacy shop, she will pay the old lady of the Shen family as much as possible. Moreover, we can't make a few taels of silver on the county town, so we can't help."

Yang Shen was so sad that she heard the potential meaning of this statement was not that she didn't want to help, but that Hui Niang didn't accept this kind of helping without any reward.

Yang Shen looked at Hui Niang anxiously: "Sister Sun's family, if we were not desperate, we would not have put aside our face and came to seek help for help. But Yang's pharmacy is a century-old brand. If it were ruined in my husband's hands, we would have no face to see our ancestors in the nine springs."

Chen Xi understood it clearly. He still wanted to borrow money when he said so much, but he didn't mention any matters about shares. People in this era valued family industry very much, and it was unforgivable to fall into other people's hands.

Hui Niang looked at Zhou, afraid that Zhou would be soft-hearted if she continued to say this. After all, Zhou had more than 2,000 taels of silver in her hand, and even if she borrowed three hundred taels, she would not be hurt. Hui Niang said, "How about this, the sister of the Shen family went back to discuss with Ling Fu first. If there was no way, she might as well use the Yang family's land certificate and the store's deeds around the city of the city as collateral, and she could barely borrow it."

Yang Shen's face looked a little ugly. When talking to her husband about this matter at home, she also thought about using the house deed and land deeds to mortgage it, but it was so emotionally difficult to accept it. Yang Shen was extremely depressed and stood up and said, "Then I'll go back and discuss it with my husband, so I won't bother you more."

The second negotiation still had no results. After the people left, Zhou sighed: "I envied my child for his aunt who married well. Now, look at it. Each family has its own difficulties."

Hui Niang smiled and comforted: "Sister, why should you envy others? Now that my sister has a husband, a son as good as a young man, and even a virtuous daughter-in-law, what else can I expect?"

Zhou came to his senses, smiled and didn't say anything. She didn't want to just say this, so as not to arouse the sad things of her good sisters.

Hui Niang looked at Chen Xi: "Xiaolang, you complained yesterday that you didn't hear anything discussed. This time you heard it with your own ears, what do you think?"

"I still agree with what I thought yesterday. Since my aunt and uncle borrow money and don't say when to return it, either mortgage the house deed and the land deed or divide the shares. We only need to get 60% of the dry shares. The pharmacy is nominally owned by the Yang family, and the specific operation will be handed over to the Yang family, but the decision-making power must be in our hands, and we can."

Chen Xi didn't continue talking because he suddenly remembered that my mother said yesterday that she would not give up the commission medicine.

Hui Niang added: "You mean we can sell medicines at Yangjia Pharmaceutical Store?"

"Yeah," Chen Xi nodded.

Hui Niang didn't mind this matter at all. After thinking carefully, she said: "It's still not safe enough. Even if we are willing, the Yang family may not be willing to have a problem. This is not a trivial matter. Without the prescription prescribed by the doctor, if the Shangguan family makes a big responsibility."

Chen Xi heard that Hui Niang was not resistant to making medicine, which was the will of her deceased husband. When the plague occurred, she also prescribed a prescription to condition the patient's body. Hui Niang did not have any excessive reaction at that time.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Aunt Sun, don't forget that you are a well-known goddess doctor. Aunt Sun said that the prescription is good, but who dares to say it is ineffective? Even if there is a problem, it is an isolated case. It is a patent medicine to cure minor problems. We can completely remedy it in time."

"I heard that there are doctors in large pharmacies in Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places. In the future, we will ask the doctors to set the dosage for them. People think that taking preparatory medicine is more cost-effective than prepping medicines on their own, and they will gradually become accustomed to it."

Hui Niang couldn't help but smile and looked at Zhou: "What do sister think Xiaolang's proposal?"

Zhou didn't know how to answer, so hesitated and said, "Sister, you'll decide."

Hui Niang carefully recalled Xia Chenxi's words, and felt that there was no problem, so she made a quick decision: "That's the matter, I'll let my sister go to the inn tonight and let's have a good talk with the Yang family."

After nightfall, Hui Niang and Zhou took Xiu'er and Xiaoyu, who were accompanying him, to the inn, and asked Yang Ling and his wife to talk about opening a pharmacy in Tingzhou Fucheng, but Chen Xi did not travel with him.

After a while, the man came back. Hui Niang held a few thin pages of paper in her hand. Chen Xi was anxious when she saw this. Seeing this, she quickly came forward and asked, "Mom, Aunt Sun, how are you talking?"

Hui Niang sat down, Ning'er went to pour tea. After Hui Niang drank it, she smiled and said, "I'll have a talk, look."

Chen Xi took it and saw that these pages were not the house deeds and the land deeds. Even if Yang Ling and his wife were preparing to mortgage their property, they would not bring such important things with them. However, it was a contract between Hui Niang and the Yang family to officially cooperate in opening a pharmacy. Because the shares are still very new in this era, the contract only stipulates that 60% of the profits of the pharmacy belong to the Lu Pharmaceutical Store, and the Yang family still owns the operating rights of the pharmacy.

Chen Xi thought to himself that Yang Linghe thought that as long as he was still the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, others would not think that he sold his ancestral property to others, and he would not be considered as forgetting his ancestors.

Perhaps Yang Linghe was secretly relieved, and finally did not mortgage the land and real estate that were the last straw. He signed such a contract without any guarantee and got the urgently needed money, which was considered a waste of money.

"This time, we helped the Yang family pay off their foreign debts and purchased a batch of medicinal materials. It would cost at least 200 taels of silver. According to the contract, we cannot claim to invest in Yang's Pharmaceutical Store, but we have the final say on how the pharmacy will be operated in the future." Hui Niang said excitedly.

After two years of careful management, Lu's pharmacy has gone from being able to make a little profit, and then has grown from Yi's store to two stores after becoming famous. Now she has made her business to a prosperous city, which can be considered a successful career. Now she has no place for her feelings, so she can only focus on how to manage the business her husband left to her.

Chen Xi nodded: "Aunt Sun will go to the mansion to take care of him in the future?"

"It shouldn't be necessary."

Hui Niang didn't consider this matter, "With the Yang family's management, whether it's profit or loss, there are people taking care of it there, so it's not very convenient for us in the past."

Chen Xi shook his head repeatedly: "I'm afraid that the Yang family will not be trusted. Now we give them the money. They also promised to give us 60% of the Yang Pharmaceutical Store. But if we tell them the prescription and business philosophy of the preparation medicine, what if they make money, what if they don't admit their accounts after they turn back?"

"Just relying on this paper without a notarist contract, I am afraid that it will sue the government. The government will only sentence the Yang family to pay us some money. The shop is still owned by the Yang family."

The smile on Hui Niang's face immediately froze. It was not unreasonable to think about Chen Xi's words carefully.

Because there is no concept of investing in this era, who belongs to the shop, even if the Yang family has 60% of the shares, it is still owned by the Yang family. The Yang family wants to regret it after making money. Because there is no precedent in the government, according to common sense, the Yang family is usually ordered to give Hui Niang some money as compensation, and finally the Yang family is awarded the Yang family.

By then, no matter how much energy and effort Hui Niang spent, she would only make wedding clothes for the Yang family for nothing.

When Hui Niang hesitated, Zhou slapped Shen Xi on the forehead without hesitation: "Boy, then you are your aunt and uncle, how can you think of people so badly?"

Chen Xi defended: "Mom, don't forget our tea shop. When you handed over it, you didn't expect it to be like this. It was grandmother and second uncle. My aunt married into the Yang family and was a member of the Yang family. As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts clearly. Even if we have no intention of harming others, we must make the worst plans."

This made Zhou unable to refute it. Thinking of the pain of handing over the tea shop business, she felt sad. This was the root cause of the rift between her and Shen Mingjun, and the fundamental reason why she has not told her husband that she is the major shareholder of the printing workshop.
