Baby brings his own shopping mall to travel through

Chapter 190 Thinking about Past and Present Life

Uncle Li's eldest daughter-in-law said, "Grandpa, that's not the case. Although the recipe is theirs, we have been the ones doing the work. They didn't contribute a cent. If they paid to buy the house, the money they have shared over the years would have been enough to buy the recipe. If they continue to share, they would just be taking advantage of us."

If I continue to distribute silver to the Yang family, my family will get less silver, and even less silver for my own family. If I keep the 50% at home, the silver my family gets every year will double, so I can help my mother's family more often.

"That's right. That's why we mentioned this to my aunt. Also, there are so many people in our family. My younger brothers are getting married one after another, and after they get married, they have babies one after another. How can it cost money?" Uncle Li San's eldest daughter-in-law also said that her parents' family conditions were not good either. If her own family could get more money, her parents' family would be able to live better.

"Grandpa, although our family seems to be well-off, aren't you and dad the ones who know best how much we actually have? Besides, my aunt's family doesn't need the little money we get. She just said that Xiaocao seems to have invented something called soap. Then their family will have another source of income, which is much better than ours." Uncle Li's second daughter-in-law also said.

The three aunts actually said something to their daughters-in-law that was touching. Who wouldn't want more income for the family? Their grandsons are already so old, and their sons are still unmarried. It's a bit inconvenient for such a large family to live together. Although there haven't been any major quarrels among the three sisters-in-law over the years, there are still many small conflicts.

If the family keeps 50% of the money, the extra money can help build a big house for the children earlier, so that they can live more comfortably and help their parents. That's why the three sisters-in-law didn't stop their daughter-in-law from saying these things.

How could the three uncles not know what they meant? They were mainly dissatisfied with the little family's current distribution of silver and money, and the children were all grown up, so there were indeed many places to spend money.

"Although it is true, it is not our family that should bring it up. Aren't you just putting us on the shelf?" Uncle Li has long known the advantages and disadvantages of having too many people. Especially after getting married, all kinds of thoughts came out.

Just look at the son and nephew and you will know how united they were in the past, but as soon as they got married, they became very different and would nitpick if someone did a little more work. They are different every day.

The three uncles here hadn't figured out a solution to the problem yet when they heard the second aunt asking.

"I wonder if my sister's family has any plans for the soap thing. Why don't we go over to their house and talk to them and see if we can do it together?"

Old man Li and old lady Li looked at each other and snorted in their hearts, thinking, do you think all the people in the Yang family are fools? They are about to take back their share here, and now they want to cooperate with them again. How shameless! Aren’t you afraid that they will not let go of their share of the brine?

But their words are not effective now. They are old and in poor health. How many years can they take care of them? Won't the children and grandchildren make the decision by then? And looking at the way my daughter was chatting with several sisters-in-law and nieces-in-law just now, she also agreed with the suggestions made by her family. The son-in-law did not object, and obviously agreed. It depends on how they discuss it with the old lady at home. I guess they will agree, after all, we helped their family when it was so difficult back then.

Old man Li was thinking about something while Uncle Li said, "Don't worry about the soap. You haven't figured out the brine issue yet and you're already thinking about other people's business?"

"Dad, you know how difficult our business is right now. Even though we have been in business the longest and our food tastes the most authentic, other shops are cheaper than us. Now that our profits are so small, it's time to think about doing something else to make a living."

"That's right, Dad. We have a reason for thinking this way. The cousins from my aunt's family are all scholars and cannot do business, otherwise they will be classified as merchants. Our family is different. Now no one is good at studying, so we should do more business. We took over the soap business for their family's sake." said the second cousin from Uncle Li's family. The couple had thought it through. He followed his brother to manage the business. Wouldn't he be the one who made the decision? The cousin was a scholar, so how could he know about business?

Sanmao: Thank you in advance, but no need.

"How do you know what other people's plans are? Sanmao is now doing business with Mr. Zheng's grandson." Uncle Li said.

"How can outsiders be treated the same as our own people? We are his maternal family, how can outsiders compare with us? Besides, Sanmao is still young and a scholar, what big things can he do?" said the third uncle's daughter-in-law.

"Have you forgotten that Mr. Zheng is Damao's teacher and he has served tea to him in a formal manner. Teacher and father are like each other, so Mr. Zheng can make the decision for Damao. Can we do that?" said Uncle Li.

"But we can't let them take over the soap business. Let's see if we can go and ask."

Yes, the soap business can't be taken away by someone like this? We have to keep a close eye on it. For a while, the Li family had their own plans.

Qingshan Village, Yang Dashan's home

The three brothers Damao returned to the study, saying that they were going to discuss who to take with them. No one spoke inside the study, as if they were waiting for Xiaocao to come over and ask for her opinion. Although she was the youngest in the family, she was the one with the most independent opinion.

Usually my mother says that my sister is the most sensible and considerate, but for some reason today she appeared to my mother as being ignorant and self-willed.

But they waited and waited but Xiao Caoer didn't come, so they got up and went to Xiao Caoer's room.

At this time, Xiao Cao'er was sitting at the desk in front of the window, holding a travel book in her hand. Her eyes were on the book, but her mind was wandering somewhere else.

She was thinking about her past life and her present life.

I mainly want to think more about this life, because I can only recall my past life. Is there something I did not do well in this life that led to Li's outburst today? What should I do in the future to avoid the same thing from happening again?

Looking up at the sky outside the window, my eyes became empty as I thought about it.
