Everyone returned to the courtyard and sat down. "Brother, look at you guys. You're getting better and better now. Yan Qi is even attending a private school. We still have to make a living every day. You can't help me."
Yan Dashan exchanged glances with Tian, and his aunt's serious business had arrived.
"Er Ni, you can't speak without conscience. Why didn't I help you, big brother? We used to be so short of food that we couldn't even get enough. Every time you came back, I would gather enough food for you, hoping that you could live a better life. And now you say such things."
"Brother, Erni didn't mean that. It's just that our family is getting poorer and poorer and there's no hope." Zhang Youkuan sighed, "Mingyuan has been saying for two years that he wants to start a small business. It's our fault that we can't raise the money. Now Chunxiao has just returned and she's already started a small business. Even though you didn't say it, we guessed it. Without your help, how could a girl like her have such great abilities? Brother, you have to help us."
"Believe it or not, we didn't help Chunxiao's business. She built it all on her own. It's us who benefited from her help."
Dashan and Dahe nodded and said, "My mother is telling the truth."
"Then take it as the truth. Since you guys are up now, you should at least give us a hand."
Chunxiao didn't know what the reason was.
"Then how do you want me to help you?" Yan Bingfa also frowned.
"Didn't I ask you to lend me some money before to help Mingyuan start his small business? You always said you didn't have the money. This time I don't care. You have to lend me some money no matter what."
Zhou rolled her eyes. Here we go again, the same thing every time.
"How much money do you want me to lend you?"
"What's going on?"
"Mom, didn't we discuss this before? Mingyuan needs at least 20 taels of silver as a base for his business." Before Yan Erni finished her words, Xu interrupted her. Yan Erni was obviously stunned for a moment. It seemed that the two of them had different ideas. Chunxiao looked at Xu's skinny and sallow face. It turned out that her cousin-in-law had a big appetite.
Yan Bingfa was a little stunned, and his brows furrowed even deeper after hearing this.
"My cousin's wife is so arrogant that she borrowed twenty taels at a time. Do you think all the money in our family comes from the wind?" Dahe sneered.
"It costs more than 20 taels of silver to dig two wells. If you have money to dig wells, how can you not have money to borrow?"
"Sister-in-law, these two wells were dug by Chunxiao, not us, and our lives are not much better." Tian couldn't help but speak.
"It's the same principle as Chunxiao's. We're all family, so it doesn't matter who gets it."
"How can they be the same?" Zhou couldn't help herself. "Chunxiao is her own family, not ours. Besides, she's a young girl who lives on her own. Why should she be asked to take money?"
"Erni, do you also want twenty taels?" Yan Bingfa looked at Yan Erni.
For the first time, Yan Erni remained silent and lowered her head.
"Brother, we originally agreed that you would help us. We will definitely pay you back when we earn back the money." Zhang Youkuan said quickly.
"I definitely don't have 20 taels." Yan Bingfa sighed in disappointment. "Even if I save 2 taels a year, it will take me 10 years. You asked for 20 taels right away. Have you ever thought about how hard it is to earn 20 taels?"
"Uncle, Chunxiao now earns at least several taels of silver a month, so twenty taels is just a piece of cake."
Chun Xiao looked at Xu coldly, "What my cousin said is true. It is indeed a matter of biting a few teeth, but why should I bite this tooth? Give me a reason."
After Chunxiao's response, the situation suddenly became awkward.
"Actually, I just want to start a business to make life easier for my family. It doesn't matter if I don't have money to lend. If my cousin can guide me, for example, lend me this recipe, your fragrance will attract a lot of people. When the time comes, I can make something and sell it. I can start a business without much capital."
"Cousin, were you deaf in the kitchen just now? I've already told you that if I leak this recipe, I'll have to pay you 500 taels of silver."
"How dare you talk like that!" Yan Bingfa glared at Chunxiao.
"Cousin, although I haven't read much, please don't lie to me. This recipe is yours, and you didn't sell it to the restaurant. It's naturally you who decides how to do business. Why should I pay you money?" Zhang Mingyuan looked at her with pleading eyes.
He is indeed a smart guy, but unfortunately he doesn't use his brain in the right way. "You guys don't have to discuss the matter of the recipe. I won't give it to anyone. Not to mention you, even my own brother won't do that." Chunxiao winked at Yan Dashan.
"Yes, we don't know this recipe. Only Chunxiao knows it. If you ask her to give it to us, you will be taking away our livelihood. How can that be possible? Even if she agrees, we won't agree."
"How can it be considered as taking away your livelihood? We are not selling in the same place. You sell yours and we sell ours. Our two villages are thousands of miles apart, so it doesn't matter at all." Xu started to talk. "I think you are just afraid that we will make money."
"There's no need to discuss this matter. I don't agree."
Chunxiao had just finished speaking when two children came in crying, followed by Shuwen and others.
"What's going on?" Xu walked over and patted the mud off the two people. "What's going on? Why are you making such a fuss?"
"Mom, they pushed me." Zhang Chong pointed to the children behind him, "They didn't let us catch the chickens."
"Are you trying to catch chicks? You're almost strangling them to death." Shuwen looked at the two children angrily, "Auntie, they not only strangled them, but also ran into the chicken coop and stepped on them. That's too much."
