Chapter 24 Xiaoman’s Thoughts
Lin Xiaoman took out the two taels of silver that he had paid for the money and stuffed it into Lin Goudan's hand, "Second sister, there are two taels of silver here. You can give it to the eldest brother and let him use it first. Don't worry about anything else in the future."
Urgent, what if it will be solved one day? After today's trouble, the clan leader will not let the eldest brother marry Miss Chen."
Lin Erhu also nodded, "Yes, please tell me not to think wrongly, my grandma is so old, she might be taken away by my mother one day."
Expectation flashed in Lin Goudan's eyes, "Second brother, are you not lying?"
Lin Erhu nodded, "Why are you lying to me? My second brother has lied to you before?"
Lin Goudan tried hard to recall that he had not been smart since he was a child and seemed to have been deceived by his second brother.
But when he met Lin Erhu's sincere eyes and looked at the money in his hand, he didn't dare to say anything, for fear that the second brother would anger him and take the money back, and the eldest brother would have nothing to read.
He trotted back to Lin Wenyao, put the silver into Lin Wenyao's hand, and under Lin Wenyao's surprised eyes, told him where the money came from. When Lin Wenyao looked outside the courtyard, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu had already left, and only Xiaoman was left.
Small back view.
Clenching the silver in his hand, Lin Wenyao's eyes were red. He devoted himself to studying, and after living for eighteen years, he finally could tell which one was a human and which one was a ghost!
Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu came to the patriarch's house again. Lin Youwang was lecturing, and the second mistress would add from time to time, "As the old saying goes, marry a virtuous wife. It means you have to keep your eyes open when looking for a wife. Mrs. Lin herself
He's such an idiot, and even the wife he picked for a big cow won't be chosen. If a woman like her is married, she will not only destroy three generations, but that family is finished. From now on, when we marry a wife and a daughter, we must carefully look at the character and don't marry someone who disturbs the family.
The house spirit is back."
"Yes, your father is right. Marrying a wife depends on her character. The daughter-in-law of the eldest son of our family is the best."
Lin Daqiang’s daughter-in-law, Mrs. Hao, was beaming with praise from her mother-in-law, “That’s because my mother taught her well!”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was harmonious and beautiful.
Lin Xiaoman called out: "Second Grandpa, Uncle Daqiang..."
Lin Youwang and Lin Daqiang just thought that something happened again with Mrs. Lin, and they both sighed, "Xiaoman, what happened to your breasts?"
Wow, look how she scared the patriarch’s family, she’s really capable.
Lin Xiaoman couldn't laugh or cry, "It's not my grandma's business. I had something to discuss with Uncle Daqiang before. I haven't had time to talk about it yet?"
"Do you have something to talk about? Come in and talk." Lin Daqiang was obviously relieved. The Lin clan was too poor. He, the clan leader, also had a sick father at the time and was pushed out of the house. In the past few years, he has been worried about the big things and small things in the clan.
.
In the past, when Xiaoman's father and mother were still alive, the clan could earn three melons and two dates by following them. Last year they were gone, and Dilong's rise caused a lot of losses to the clan. He also had no ability to make money, and he was only just over thirty.
, my hair has turned a lot whiter.
The second mistress asked Mr. Hao to move two benches for Lin Xiaoman and his brother to sit on. Then she went into the house and poured two bowls of sugar water. "Xiaoman, Erhu, drink some sugar water to quench your thirst."
"Thank you, Second Grandma." Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu took the sugar water, thanked them and drank it.
Most of the people in the village are poor, and when they come to their homes, they are usually given a bowl of cold water and sugar water as special treatment.
"Uncle Daqiang, Erhu and I are selling hot pot chicken in the city today. The business is good, but we are too busy, so I thought I would ask Uncle Daqiang to help find some trustworthy ones."
"This matter, if it's done, I'll go ask about it right now."
Lin Daqiang was completely relieved after hearing this. Hiring people is a trivial matter. Now that the autumn harvest is over, everyone is idle at home and has no way of making a living. As long as the news spreads, the villagers will go crazy, as long as they pick people with good character.
Lin Xiaoman stopped him, "Don't worry, I have another idea to talk to Uncle Daqiang. Erhu and I are still young, and it is inevitable that we will be careless in our work. Erhu still wants him to go back to the academy to study next year. Although the business is
Okay, I can't do it alone. This time I came here to discuss with Uncle Daqiang about cooperating with the clan to do business. I gave out the shop and the secret recipe, and a few people from the clan ran it. After deducting the cost and wages, the remaining money was left.
I will divide it with the clan next time."
Lin Daqiang was shocked when he heard this. Half of the Lin family's ancestral hall collapsed last year, and many of his ancestor's tablets were smashed, but he has no money to repair it. He mentioned it several times, but almost no one in the clan dared to donate money.
Hedong Village has no clan property that can be salvaged, and there is almost no money left in the public account after excluding the annual medical treatment and meals for the orphans, the elderly and the weak.
Sometimes his family is even asked to fill in the money, which is why even though he clearly doesn’t want to be the patriarch, he still has to be pushed to the top. No one wants to sit in the thankless position of a poor patriarch.<
/p>
Now that I heard what Lin Xiaoman meant, if I cooperated with her in business, no matter how much or how little I earned, the clan would be able to share the money. No matter how thin the mosquito legs were, they were still meat.
But thinking about the good business of Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu, they really wanted to get involved, and they felt that it was a bit bullying, "Xiaoman, think about it again, it's not a trivial matter when it comes to money, don't let you suffer."
Lin Xiaoman smiled, "Uncle Daqiang, I have thought about it. As long as the character you are looking for is trustworthy, I will have no problem here."
"But..."
Lin Youwang got angry when he saw his son grinding away, "Why are you grinding so hard? When we divide the money, why don't we just give more to Xiaoman and Erhu? I have the final say on this matter. After excluding the cost, whatever is left will be divided between Xiaoman and Xiaoman."
The siblings get 70%, and the clan gets 30%."
Lin Xiaoman's original intention was to cooperate in business with the clan, and the clan got benefits. Even if there were conflicts with Mrs. Lin in the future, the clan would favor them.
And with the support of the clan, there will be far fewer people who dare to come to the store to cause trouble.
I originally thought it would be 50-50, but if the clan leader disagrees, the four of them and the six of the clan will make it. I don't want Lin Youwang to directly give them 70%.
Thinking about the money he earned today, Lin Xiaoman thought that 70% was too much.
But seeing Lin Daqiang's face in agreement, he didn't say anything more. She and Erhu had the ability to go there. If the clan keeps doing this, they can help the clan find some money-making jobs in the future.
"Xiao Man, figure out how many people you need, and I will go find someone right now."
Lin Xiaoman calculated, "I need two in front of the stove, two for the waiter first, and two for washing vegetables and dishes in the back. The big pot will be ready in a few days, and I plan to make another hot pot skewers, at least
We still need four more strings..."
Although Lin Daqiang's ability as a clan leader is not very good, his ability to act is really strong. He counted on his fingers and said, "That's ten people. Okay, I'll go call them now."
After saying that, he was about to go out in a hurry, but Lin Xiaoman stopped him again, "Uncle Daqiang, I haven't finished speaking yet. In addition to asking for help in the store, I also want to ask someone to help build a wall for my house.
It needs to be tidied up. Uncle Daqiang will help me find a few more good bricklayers. If there are many people who are idle, we can hire a few more. We will tidy up the main house as well."
"Sure, then I will find more people for you." Lin Daqiang quickly selected the candidates in his mind. Even though he was sometimes stretched thin as a clan leader, he actually still has management capabilities.
When Lin Daqiang went out, Lin Youwang said after a long while: "Xiaoman, are you planning to be a hands-off shopkeeper?"
Lin Xiaoman smiled, "Second Grandpa is indeed wise. When Erhu goes to study, it's not easy for me as a daughter to show up all the time. Second Grandpa and Uncle Daqiang will have to worry about it."
