"You're still too young."
Wang He glanced at his son and sighed.
With such short-sightedness and focus only on immediate gains, how could he possibly entrust the Wang family to him?
"dad."
Upon hearing Wang He's words, Wang's father immediately wanted to refute them.
His father failed to achieve great things because he lacked ambition and was hesitant in his actions, which led to the Wang family's current decline.
"Alright, alright, you can go out now."
"When should I call Xinyue and ask her to bring the baby back for a meal?"
Wang He didn't want to say more and turned to read a book.
…
Because of Fushengtang's sudden rise to prominence, those who admired benevolence and kindness began to watch the drama unfold with a sense of anticipation.
They wanted to know how Renshan dealt with such blatant provocation.
They also wanted to know how long the wealthy and Wang families could hold out.
But after waiting and waiting for almost a week, there was still no sign of Ruan Qiushui and Shen Yongjun making any moves.
On the contrary, Fushengtang was the first to encounter problems.
The medicine from Fushengtang is indeed without fault. However, after comparing the effects over the past week, the differences in efficacy are still quite noticeable.
It's like the same antipyretic drug with Xiao Chai Hu as the main ingredient.
The medicine produced by Renshan Pharmaceutical Factory can cure even patients with a persistent high fever of 40 degrees Celsius after taking it for two consecutive days.
However, the patient took the medicine from Fushengtang for four consecutive days after buying it home before the fever dropped to 37 degrees Celsius, and the fever kept recurring.
It took almost a week for my body temperature to return to normal.
The same applies to cold medicines, cough medicines, etc.
Fushengtang clearly claims that its medicine is exactly the same as Renshan's. Now, with such a huge difference, who can accept it?
Although the medicine from Ren Shan is a little more expensive, it works quickly and will make you suffer less. Even a fool would know which one to choose.
As a result, Fushengtang, which had just become a hit, saw its business plummet, with only a few customers looking for bargains.
On the other hand, Ruan Qiushui went to the pharmaceutical factory to start preparing new drugs the day after returning to Beijing.
In just one week, they not only prepared seven kinds of medicines for headaches, fevers, and cardiovascular diseases, but also reformed and upgraded the pharmacy.
Ruan Qiushui instructed Zhou Yi to implement the membership card system, which was launched with great fanfare. In addition to free card issuance and membership discounts and points, members could also have their blood pressure measured for free and receive birthday gifts.
This move was met with enthusiastic response, and Ren Shan's performance soared once again.
Even if Fushengtang closely followed the benevolent system, it was to no avail.
Within three months, Fushengtang pharmacies have closed down one after another, leaving only one remaining.
That day, Wang He was arguing incessantly with the Fu family on the phone.
"What? The Wang family will bear all the losses? The Fu family is just withdrawing and abandoning us?"
When Wang He heard what the rich family said, he wanted nothing more than to smash the phone on the ground.
"Pah! You rich family have quite the scheme. Let me tell you, you think you can get away unscathed while making my Wang family your scapegoat? No way."
Wang He hung up the phone before the rich family could continue speaking.
"Dad, if the wealthy family withdraws, what will we do?"
The father was extremely anxious.
Currently, pharmaceutical factories have unpaid outstanding payments for their stockpiled medicinal herbs, leaving factory workers without wages and even their store rents unpaid.
The wealthy family had promised that their initial investment would be recouped in less than six months.
As for the cost of medicinal herbs, a month's turnover is enough.
But what about now? All the money we made at the beginning has been lost, and it's not even a tenth of it.
"Those bastards from the Fu family actually tampered with the contract. Not only do we have to bear our own losses, but the Fu family also has to share the burden."
Wang He suddenly felt like the sky had fallen.
Fushengtang has invested all of the Wang family's savings, and now they have lost everything and are burdened with huge debts.
This is Heaven's will to destroy the royal family.
"What? How could this happen?"
The father almost thought he was hallucinating.
They already owe so much money, yet they still have to shoulder the Wang family's share?
Rich people, please, have some decency!
"Go, tell your wife to invite Xinyue over for dinner."
The Wang family is now desperate and can only rely on Xin Yue for help.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Sending Xinyue to the Ruan family to mediate and ask for their help is a good idea.
…
"I'm not going."
Wang Xinyue flatly refused her mother's request.
She would never take the child back to that ruthless and oppressive place, the Wang family.
"Xinyue, your parents and grandpa miss you and the baby. Can't you go back and visit them?"
The Queen Mother lowered her stance and pleaded in a pleading tone.
"You miss me? You just want to use me, don't you?"
Wang Xinyue looked at Wang's mother with a mocking expression.
Do you really think she knows nothing?
They just wanted to use her and her child to gain sympathy from the Ruan family, hoping that her younger sister and grandfather would help the Wang family through their difficulties for the sake of her and her child.
Putting aside the fact that Fushengtang has fallen to this state, the Ruan family didn't get involved at all.
Even if they intervened, the Wang family deserved this outcome.
"How could you say that, child?"
“You can’t write two Wangs with one stroke. You’re a member of the Wang family, so you should think about the Wang family.”
“We’re facing some difficulties at home right now. Go talk to your parents-in-law and grandparents and see if they can think of a solution.”
Wang's mother wished she could tie Wang Xinyue up and take her to the Ruan family so she could threaten Shen Yongjun and the others with the child.
If they are unwilling to spend money to save the Wang family, then we should abandon our in-law relationship and give up on this precious grandson.
"How much face do I have? Do you think people would help the Wang family out of respect for me?"
Wang Xinyue glanced at her own mother, truly unaware of her own limitations.
"Just because you're the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ruan family, just because you gave birth to a son."
Wang Xinyue gave birth to the only grandson of the Ruan family in this generation, and he bears the surname Ruan, which is incomparable to the grandson born to Ruan Qiushui.
"I can't explain it to you clearly. Don't come to my house unless it's absolutely necessary."
"Aunt Tian, see the guests out."
Wang Xinyue didn't want to waste any more time talking to her mother, so she took the child from Tian Ma's arms and went straight back into the house.
"Wang Xinyue, what kind of attitude is this? I'm your mother, you stop right there."
Wang's mother was pushed out the door by Tian's mother and slammed shut outside.
Wang's mother called outside the door for nearly ten minutes, but seeing that Wang Xinyue was determined not to open the door, she had no choice but to return to the Wang family home.
"Aunt Tian, please take the child and come with me to my younger sister's house."
After confirming that her mother had left, Wang Xinyue brought her child to the Ruan family's residence.
"Xinyue, what brings you here? Oh, my Jiahe is here too."
Both Da Bao and Xiao Bao have gone to kindergarten, so Liu Sanmei has nothing to do at home. Right now, she's chatting with Zhang Ma in the yard.
Upon seeing Wang Xinyue arrive, he quickly stepped forward and took Ruan Jiahe from Tian Ma's hands.
"Grandma, is my little sister home?"
Wang Xinyue looked around but didn't see Ruan Qiushui.
