“But these are daily necessities.
“Unless it is produced locally, anything shipped in from other places must first be transported to a large city like the capital or the provincial capital.
“Then people from the county town go to buy goods, and people from the village go to the county town to buy goods.
"With this level of price hike, in the end the city is the cheapest and the village is the most expensive!
“There are more than just shops like Linglong Pavilion in the capital, there are also places that sell things at very low prices.
"Let's go together when we go shopping for the New Year this year. I'll take you shopping."
Mrs. Ye was naturally delighted when she heard this and quickly agreed, "That's great! Otherwise, we would be completely in the dark and wouldn't know anything. If we get cheated, we wouldn't have any way to seek justice."
"Forget about going to the capital, we even have people going to the market in Tianjin to buy things!"
"That's right, there are really many good things in Tianjin, and they are cheaper than in Beijing.
"It's just too far. We live at home and can't buy too much for the New Year, so there's no need to travel so far.
"To put it bluntly, things are not peaceful everywhere these days. If we run into any danger, it will be more trouble than it's worth."
"Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense." Lin Yumei felt like she had found a supporter. She grabbed Sister Ye's hand and said, "Go back and help me persuade Wang Ge.
"Look at him, he just made some money with Third Brother, and now he's become very active.
"Just now he insisted that I give him some silver so that he could go to Tianjin to buy some goods and come back to sell them before the New Year.
"Before I even said I disagreed, after a brief hesitation, he started getting mad at me, saying that it was money he had earned through his own abilities and that he should have the right to spend it."
When Lin Yumei talked about this, she felt aggrieved again.
Mrs. Ye said, "So you two were arguing about this just now?"
Lin Yumei felt a little embarrassed after hearing this and lowered her head, saying, "Who made him speak so harshly? He just said yesterday that he would give me all the money and listen to me from now on, but today he said such words to me just for money..."
After listening to Lin Yumei's story, Sister Ye shook her head helplessly and said, "You two have good intentions, but you refuse to speak your mind honestly and insist on saying emotional things.
"You two have to keep arguing with each other, and no one is willing to give in first. Isn't that going to lead to a quarrel?"
After hearing what Mrs. Ye said, Lin Yumei recalled that this was exactly the case.
At first, Wang Ge simply wanted to go to Tianjin to purchase goods and sell them for money, but he mixed in the emotions of the previous bad things at home, which caused the two of them to speak with emotion, becoming more and more angry as they talked, and finally parted on bad terms.
Seeing that Lin Yumei had begun to reflect, Sister Ye said, "This matter is not entirely your fault.
"Men are like that, they act on their whims and have a single-minded mind.
"When we women encounter problems, we tend to overthink and worry about every aspect.
“Men tend to only see the best possible outcome and think they can do it.
"But we have to consider what the worst-case scenario would be, whether it would affect our family's lives and bring hidden dangers to the family."
"Sister-in-law, you're absolutely right. That's it." Lin Yumei felt like she had a lot of grievances she wanted to tell him. "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I tell you this. When he saw Ge Yurong making money selling goods, he also wanted to go into business.
"His enthusiasm back then was similar to today's, as if as long as he had the capital, he could immediately make a lot of money.
"I couldn't persuade him, so I had to borrow money from relatives and friends, and even from my own family, and I collected ten taels of silver to give him as capital.
"In the end, not only did he lose everything, but he also had a lot of goods stuck at home. I had to work with him, tightening my belt, for two years before he could pay off all the foreign debts.
"Now that the wound has healed and he's forgotten the pain, he's started to have this idea again."
Thinking of the days when she had to eat coarse food with him to pay off his debts and was ridiculed by her family, Lin Yumei became more and more sad.
Sister Ye quickly said, "Don't cry. I'll talk to him for you later, okay?"
In another car, Wang Ge was also complaining to Ye Lao San.
Unfortunately, Ye Lao San is not Ye Dasao, and he can't understand Wang Ge's feelings at all. He can only say one sentence: "It's right to listen to your wife."
The more Wang Ge complained, the more aggrieved he felt, and finally he became so angry that he stopped talking.
After driving along the section of official road with the most traffic, the speed increased significantly and we soon arrived at the county town.
Wang Ge first went to the carriage and horse shop, returned the mule cart he had rented, and took back the deposit. He said, "Brother, sister-in-law, third brother, there's nothing urgent anyway. Let's have dinner in the city before leaving!"
Just as Boss Ye was about to refuse, Sister Ye poked him from behind. She immediately understood and said, "That's fine. Let's find a quiet place, drink some tea and talk, and then eat."
"No problem." Wang Ge led everyone to Fudingxuan and said, "I want the largest private room in your store."
Before Yanbinlou opened, Fudingxuan was the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Fengle County.
Although Wang Ge had never been to the private room here, he heard from the young master of the woodworking workshop that the largest private room on the second floor was a suite.
Not only is there a place to eat, but there is also an inner room for rest.
It's just right for the adults to talk outside while the children play inside.
If it were any other time, Wang Ge would definitely discuss it with Lin Yumei in advance before choosing a place like this.
But they had just had an argument today, and he was full of anger. He thought that since he made money, why shouldn’t he be worthy of treating guests to a meal in a high-end place?
