This is also what most people think.

Jiang Ling also helped out: "Yes! Miss Yu, it's easy for us to get a stake here. The main thing is that you have to discuss it with your family, otherwise they will find out and blame us for deceiving you."

Yu Tang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said a few polite words to Jiang Ling and Madam Jiang, then said goodbye and left.

Madam Jiang couldn't help but blame Jiang Ling a few words: "Madam, you shouldn't care about these things. If someone comes again, just say you don't know."

Madam Jiang was Jiang Ling's mother's companion, and she watched Jiang Ling grow up. After Jiang Ling's father passed away, Jiang Ling's mother also became ill. Jiang's family's inner courtyard matters were largely taken care of by Madam Jiang. Jiang Ling respected her very much, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with Madam Jiang's words. Instead, he comforted Madam Jiang: "Isn't it because I'm worried about my brother's business? If I encounter such a thing again in the future, I will definitely ask you to come over and take a look first."

Madam Jiang felt distressed and helpless, so she had to hold Jiang Ling's hand and said, "Auntie, it's also Master's intention not to let you take care of these things. Just listen to my advice! Who knows what Miss Yu is up to? If they really want to do business with our family, why don't they go to Master, but come to you in a roundabout way?"

Maybe others think she is easy to talk to?

Jiang Ling muttered to herself, but didn't show it on her face. She still smiled as she saw Madam Jiang out.

However, Yu Tang felt that his attitude just now was wrong.

Maybe Jiang Ling is just like her, and needs to go through some things before gradually becoming powerful.

However, she originally just wanted to meet Jiang Ling and see what kind of person Jiang Ling was. Now that she has met him, her goal has been achieved, and it can be considered a complete success.

Yu Tang thought about it and returned to the inn.

Yu Yuan and Xiang Shi haven't come back yet.

Yu Tang had lunch by herself. Thinking that she would have to go back to Lin'an early the next morning, she packed up the things she had bought.

At this time, Yu Yuan and Xiang Shi just came back.

However, both of them were smiling, and it seemed that things were going well.

Yu Tang hurriedly asked them if they had had lunch.

"Yes, I have used it." Xiang took a sip of the tea made by Shuangtao and said to Yutang happily, "We are lucky today because your brother promised the clerk of Ping'an Tavern to pay him for running errands. The clerk was very attentive and found a manager of Jiang Chao's uncle's family last night and found out everything about Jiang Chao's business."

When Yu Tang heard this, he immediately sat down next to Xiang Shi and handed the snacks on the table to Xiang Shi.

Xiang took a snack with a smile and continued, "It's just like what your brother inquired about yesterday. This time he is sailing with a family surnamed Wang in Ningbo. That family, like him, has been sailing for the boss for more than ten years. Recently, the boss is gone, and the two sons of the boss are fighting to divide the family, so he is ready to go out on his own. It's a fleet, but in fact it is a fleet formed in partnership with several other families. The Wang family only has one boat, and the Jiang family only has a share of this boat. Then your brother and I went to meet Jiang Chao again."

At this point, she tutted her tongue twice and said, "I never thought that Jiang Chao, a sailor, looked so gentle and refined, like a scholar. He was honest in his words and deeds. When he met us, he didn't brag or make empty promises, but told us the real situation in detail. He also said that he currently has insufficient capital and is in trouble, but the money invested is all his own, and he will definitely treat our money as his own."

Hearing this, Yu Tang felt that something was not right.

Her sister-in-law thinks Jiang Chao is a very trustworthy person!

Yu Tang couldn't help but look up at Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan was sitting opposite them, listening to Xiang Shi's words with a smile. When Yu Tang looked at him, he smiled and nodded to Yu Tang, then took over Xiang Shi's words and said, "A Tang, it's a pity that you didn't come with us to meet Jiang Chao today. I think what you said makes a lot of sense, he is really a very capable person. After discussing with your sister-in-law, I agreed to invest 4,000 taels of silver. 2,000 taels are mine, 1,000 taels are your sister-in-law's personal money, and the remaining 1,000 taels are agreed on your behalf."

Yu Tang was stunned.

Things were going in circles and completely out of control.

"No," she stammered, "Didn't I say to find out about his situation first? You have to be careful about investing..."

Who knew that Yu Yuan waved his hand and said, "Sometimes things are like this. After calculating and calculating, you always feel that there are risks. But when you actually do it, you will find that some risks are very serious and unsolvable in your imagination, but in practice, it's just a matter of turning around, which is very easy."

"Yes!" Xiang Shi echoed, "Atang, I think what Jiang Chao said makes sense. And your brother also said that although we have made a decision on this matter, we still have to discuss it with uncle after returning. If uncle also thinks this is a good business, the promised 4,000 taels of silver will be divided equally between our two families. If uncle thinks the risk is too high, as we said before, we will take the majority and you will take the minority. But Jiang Chao also said that every business has risks, and the greater the risk, the greater the profit. The risk of this business is also very high. I thought, if the ship really fails to return as Jiang Chao said, I will subsidize you with your 1,000 taels of silver. You don't have to worry."

Yu Tang was completely speechless.

As for this Jiang Chao, her brother and sister-in-law only met him once, but it was as if they were under a spell and they were determined to do business with him.

If he is so capable, why does he still need to go to great lengths to raise capital?

Yu Tang felt that if she objected at this time, it would only disappoint her brother and sister-in-law. It would be better to wait until her brother and sister-in-law's anger faded. She asked, "Have you agreed on when to pay the money?"

Four thousand taels of silver is not a small amount.

No one would carry so much silver with them.

As long as the money has not been handed over to Jiang Chao, the initiative is still in their hands.

Yu Yuan smiled and said, "You know how much silver we brought with us? I paid a deposit of three hundred taels of silver, and we agreed to pay the rest in ten days."

Yu Tang felt that she couldn't stay here for even a quarter of an hour, so she urged, "Well, let's go back to Hangzhou early tomorrow morning and make plans when we get to Lin'an."

Yu Yuan and Xiang Shi nodded repeatedly, and were eager to invite Yu Tang to go for a walk in the street: "We have to leave tomorrow, and we haven't had a good look at the lacquerware shops in Suzhou yet!"

Yu Tang was also afraid of having to report poorly when he returned, so he and Xiang Shi washed up and went out with Yu Yuan and the others.

Yu Yuan and Xiang Shi didn't know why they had so much to say. They stood shoulder to shoulder and would even look at a candy seller.

Yu Tang pouted, and when he saw an opportunity, he pulled Xia Pinggui over and asked, "Have you met Mr. Jiang?"

"I have seen it." Xia Pinggui was a little excited and said, "Then Mr. Jiang is really amazing, he almost started from scratch. I also think that the young master should invest this time. Think about it, people like Mr. Jiang will definitely be prosperous in the future. He started from a humble background, and the young master will definitely benefit from it in the future."

After listening to him, she also felt that Mr. Jiang was amazing.

Even Xia Pinggui, the most honest and kind-hearted man in their family, was persuaded.

Yu Tang felt a little regretful that he didn't go with his brother and sister-in-law to get to know Jiang Chao.

However, if I give him the money in ten days, there should still be a chance.

Yu Tang pondered in his heart.

Xia Pinggui is right. When we know each other from humble beginnings, our friendship will definitely be different from others. In this case, no matter whether this business is profitable or not, our family should invest money. But four thousand taels is too much. Can you find a way to persuade my brother to invest less money, just as a token of your loyalty?

She was preoccupied with things and inevitably a little absent-minded. She had no clear recollection of what shops she visited or what strange things she saw in the afternoon. However, the closer she got to home on her way home, the more she saw those familiar sights, and the more at ease she felt.

No wonder no one likes to leave their hometown.

Their uncle, aunt and others were already waiting for them at home.

Xiangshi and Yutang took out the gifts they bought for everyone. Although Yubo had a blank expression on his face, his cheerful tone revealed his joy: "The paint you bought arrived early this morning. I took a look and it's OK. From now on, these things will be handed over to Ayuan and Pinggui. You can put aside the matter in the mountains for now. Back then, it was someone else's debt that was mortgaged to our family. Now we have been together for several generations. Apart from collecting firewood, we can't do anything else. Don't bother yourself. It's a waste of money and time."

Yu Yuan was not the kind of person who would give up if things didn't work out. Besides, the sea buckthorn tree had just grown, so it was too early to tell whether it would work or not. But he was not the kind of person who liked to contradict adults. He responded respectfully to whatever Yu Bo said, and he had his own ideas on what to do next.

So after everyone had finished the welcoming banquet, Xia Pinggui and the two young men returned to the shop. Yu Yuan took the opportunity of sending Yu Wen's family off to talk to Yu Wen about Jiang Chao, but did not say how much money he wanted to invest.

Yu Wen laughed and said to Chen: "I can see that these two are definitely up to something! Last time they went to the Gu family to complain, and this time they targeted a company doing offshore business and took the initiative to choose a company to invest in!" As he spoke, he shook his head, "It's true that a son is no longer under the control of his father and a daughter is no longer under the control of her mother!"

Since Chen married Yu Wen, there have been troubles in the family, and there has never been peace. Seeing him talking about his nephew and daughter, she couldn't help but scold him: "Who did you learn this from? It's because you, as an elder, didn't set a good example. When Ayuan and Atang were young, you told them to seize the opportunity, but they became like this because of you."

These words left Yu Wen speechless and he didn't know what to say.

Yu Yuan and Yu Tang were laughing beside them.

Having said that, Yu Wen still fell behind a few steps, leaving Chen and Yu Tang behind and talking to Yu Yuan alone for a while.

Knowing that they wanted to invest in Jiang Chao's maritime business, Yu Wen frowned and asked, "Do you know this person?"
