Chapter 178 Don’t be afraid, it’s me(1/2)
"Okay." Mrs. Xu hugged her granddaughter and said happily.
Maybe Tian Xin knows that even if he gives another big ingot, he still owes grandma.
Because the fifty taels I gave you in the past were the cost of eating, and the next time I gave you a yuanbao, it was to advance the raw materials for making soap to grandma.
Grandma never told her or anyone else that the Xu family was in fact suffering from famine again.
He also borrowed fifty taels of silver from Grandpa Li Zheng for turnover.
These fifty taels were the last time Grandpa Li Zheng left for more than a month, brought back several large carts of goods, sold all the goods, and paid off other people's debts, leaving all the remaining profits.
As for this debt, only a few members of Grandpa Li Zheng's family, her grandmother, her aunt, and three uncles knew about it, and they did not tell her specifically.
But she couldn't bear it. She was better at calculating accounts. She was just like the previous Zhenting family's savings. After a little calculation of how many flowers and plants she bought, how much oil she bought, and the daily wages paid to the workers, she knew that there was no money at home.
It must be that I owe another external debt.
Although grandma has paid for the fish floss in advance from Boss Liu, she is rushing to make the already ordered fish floss and fish noodles, which also requires costs.
Once, Xu Tianxin overheard Grandpa Li Zheng saying to her grandma:
"Tian Xin makes soap for people. It's a big deal. These two thousand pieces of soap locust have been laid out on the ground. Don't worry about the next two thousand pieces of oil. Pepper said he left two kilograms of cotton and went to my eldest daughter's house to borrow some.
At worst, I'll go to my brother's place and string together a few dozen taels of silver. Besides, in a month or so, I'll have a warehouse to deliver the goods and I'll bring back the silver, which will last for a while..."
Xu Tianxin didn’t listen to what he said next.
Another time, she also heard Grandpa Guan nagging her mother:
"Don't cut off the wages of the villagers. Being rude will make people picky.
You have to know how much hindsight can bring. It should be said that your stall is too big, and those things that are blocking your mind, we can't listen to.
Isn't that what I bought from the condom for sixteen and a half? My family has already spent eleven and a half on making cotton clothes for the baby, and bought some grain for winter. I haven't felt so confident in decades, and also bought some expensive medicinal materials and
I added a medicine cabinet, and you can use the remaining five taels.
Next time we sell condoms, we can go to a brothel and continue to make money.
When your family Tian Xin earns back a lot of money from Xiangjizi, your Xu family will be completely prosperous, and good times are ahead."
Grandpa Guan also said with a smile: "You can borrow it from me now, and I can open my mouth even if I borrow it from now on."
In the end, grandma didn't seem to have any use for the remaining five taels of savings from grandpa's family. She probably thought it would be easier to keep accounts if Grandpa Lizheng and his family were collecting wool. But this time the general and his entourage came, Grandpa Lizheng no longer had the confidence to say anything grand.
entertain.
In short, Xu Tianxin knows these detailed accounts.
Indeed, as Grandpa Guan said, as long as the eight thousand pieces of soap are exchanged for money, the capital grandma borrowed from abroad will be nothing at all.
However, the current capital gap is too big, and she cannot let her grandma bear this pressure alone. So she took advantage of her grandma's inability to see what the live broadcast said and studied water-drop clocks with her family in an attempt to make money.
Find a way to sell water-drop clocks to relieve the cost pressure on soap.
So what Xu Tianxin said: "Next time I will give grandma a big ingot" was not the prerequisite that Mrs. Xu thought her granddaughter would give her the capital for soap making, but: Grandma, believe me, I will give you the capital for food and soap.
Next, your granddaughter will definitely give you a big gold ingot, so you can hug it under the quilt and cherish it, okay?
But at this time, Xu Tianxin did not explain in detail.
There is a saying: What you really want to do, it is best not to even tell the gods, just do it quietly, and then talk about it after you succeed.
If you don't succeed, you can just save face, but in a few days you will forget the vow you made.
Maybe the old lady is still very happy.
Mrs. Xu is not worth anything at all.
She also heard that a gossipy woman in the village said that the reason why her Tian Xin dared to take on the big job of making soap locusts, so that she could afford the wages to the girls, and even dared to entertain the general and his entourage for dinner, was because her family relied on her family.
Milk, you rely on milk to bring money when you go out.
Just jealous and jealous, saying sour things. It means that if the child is capable, he must also have a good grandma. If there is no backing and grandma's sincere invitation, no matter how capable he is, he will not be able to cope.
The words reached her ears, but they didn't please her at all, she just felt angry.
Old Mrs. Xu thought to herself: What's wrong with grandma? She is willing to give money, which means that our children are not overworked. She can't wait to have her granddaughter ask her for money with a smile all her life.
Alas, if time were not tight, at her age, even if she lived a long life, she would only be able to spend more than thirty Spring Festivals with her granddaughter. She wished she could pave the way for her granddaughter and pave the way for her child until she lives a long life.
Isn't that right? Mrs. Xu didn't explain it in detail, but planned in her heart. If the child gave her money soon, the family would be able to support it, and she would start buying land in Tian Xin's name. She saved little by little.
, slowly, her granddaughter’s name was like those of her uncles: fields, grain, warehouses, and silver.
In this way, not to mention paving the road to a long life, it is almost the same.
Because Mrs. Xu believes in: Elders should not always want to give a message to young people. Everyone’s temperament, choices and life experiences are different. What young people need most is not life experience, but leaving a sum of money. This is
The most intuitive thing that can help children.
Here, the grandfather and grandson each had their own ideas, so they held their arms, still in a sticky state.
The old lady looked with envy in her eyes, and then glanced at Xu Youyin who was carrying a big burden next to her. She sighed deeply and thought to herself:
They are both grandparents and grandchildren, and Youyin felt embarrassed when he sent her to live at home.
The old lady was running out of words to talk to, and wanted to have a close relationship with her grandson and asked: "Do the people in the village know that I am going to stay at your house?"
Xu Youyin rolled his eyes: "You are wearing cotton-padded clothes and carrying such a big luggage. Who would have guessed that you want to spend the winter at my house, and you have to beat gongs and drums to notify anyone."
The old lady choked and was no longer in the mood to talk to her grandson. She walked a few steps further away, turning her back to Xu Youyin as if she was angry. In fact, she was secretly wiping her tears.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The old lady doesn't understand. She has been reluctant to eat and drink all her life. It's not all for the sake of her children and grandchildren. How come she didn't hand over the last one.
She is turning sixty-seven, her hair is all white, she has to carry a small bag, she has to stay in this house for two days and that house for two days, and she is not welcome anywhere. Coupled with the words that her daughter-in-law scolded her before, the more she thinks about it, the more sad she becomes.
.
Not far away, Xu Tianxin and Mrs. Xu saw this scene.
Xu Tianxin asked: "Nai, you let my grandma live here. Did my uncles ask you privately?"
"No begging." Mrs. Xu glared at her fourth son with disgust: "Don't look at your uncle's face now, but he is always asking around the bush, whether to send your wife back or to stay, that's what I mean.
Look, this is just a waste of money when life is a little better. I get caught in the rain, and I always want to hold an umbrella for others. I just think of it as helping them."
Mrs. Xu also considered the saying: When a person doesn't understand what it means to die, his face will be full of childishness, which can also be said to be a sign of anger. Anyway, it doesn't matter how you lose your temper, whatever you think is reasonable.
But when I realize that I will never see you again, I am afraid that all that will be left is regret and the tears of never seeing my loved one again.
After all, she is my biological grandmother. We received this body, so we don’t want the three of us to have any regrets because of our thoughts. If you want to support your grandmother, just do it.
"Anyway, I won't be there to serve her on the day she lays down the kang. Aren't your three uncles filial? Then they can go. Then I will let your uncles go to the big house to beg for land. If we really provide for them in old age,
Yes, why don't you ask for it? Don't want to eat and drink from me for free."
Xu Tianxin smiled and did not answer her grandma's hard-hearted words.
In Xu Tianxin's view, her three uncles talked awkwardly to Tai Nai, which did not forgive many things. Tai Nai had always been partial to the eldest son of the eldest family, and the uncles were not jealous, including calling her grandma.
, it’s not that the uncles have forgotten that Tai Nai scolded her, but once life gets better, their minds will be inexplicably broader, and they will think about those things in the past, and compare them with the current Tai Nai’s nowhere to stay... forget it.
Speaking of the uncles, Xu Tianxin did not dare to delay Mrs. Xu anymore, and quickly discussed the business with her grandma: "I want to hire three uncles to work for me, and I will pay them for the clock work. Grandma, you need to get these three from me."
Remove the fried pork floss and replace it with other trustworthy people."
Mrs. Xu's instinctive reaction was: Use them as long as you use them, and pay whatever wages you want for the three of them.
Xu Tianxin disagreed, and recalled the unintentional complaints made by the three uncles, and explained with a smile:
"Nai, you'd better not take back the wages I'll pay them, just give them as pocket money.
You don’t even know that once, I asked my second uncle to help me make an object. My second uncle asked me if this object would cost money. If it costs money, I will talk to you first. Because everything can be solved with money.
He can't solve any problem.
As for my third uncle, I asked him to wash his face frequently with soap, so that he would look more handsome and find a partner in the future. But my third uncle immediately said that compared to having nothing in his pocket, his ugliness was nothing to mention.
My brother-in-law also said that although you can't have your cake and eat it too, he can have nothing in his pocket and be single. Once he gets used to it, he can find a partner.
Listen, how sad it is."
Mrs. Xu still refused to let go and said: "You can keep your second uncle's share for yourself and give it to his wife. In the future, you can give him a baby to his mother-in-law's family. You can spend it as much as you want. But your third uncle's wages must be paid."
Here, don’t give it to me in secret, just to listen to you. If they don’t have a family, they don’t need any money, so if they don’t have money, then they can use it to get a family.”
Xu Tianxin was speechless: "..."
Mrs. Xu asked: "How do you and that Bai Xiucai divide the water-drop clock thing?"
"Initially, I decided to sell a water-drop clock for fifty taels. I am in charge of the production and the production cost. I guess it is about twelve taels. Then I will earn about thirteen taels. He is in charge of sales. He earns more, twenty-five taels.
.”
Mrs. Xu's face was filled with joy: "Can it be sold at such an expensive price?"
Then he explained to his granddaughter: "If it can be sold, it is normal to give a big share to Bai Xiucai. This is the same as our fish floss. No matter how good the thing is, it is useless if no one knows about it, even if the wine is fragrant.
Don’t be afraid of the dark side of the road. You will have to take a lot of detours if you rely on your own marketing. With other people’s ready-made connections, you can directly ship the goods. The only thing that makes less money is that you don’t have to worry about money.”
Xu Tianxin nodded and smiled. In modern times, manufacturers and sales are two different things. For example, when selling clothes, after we produce the clothes and sell them wholesale, we can't still worry about the profit margin earned by the salesmen in the store. She is open-minded in this regard.
As for whether it could be sold, Xu Tianxin told her grandma her preliminary design ideas.
