Chapter 120: Noisy
"I think it's okay, Mom. I'll take care of your tofu wholesale business for you." Boss Li said happily.
"No, I won't agree."
Qin Fangci looked over and saw Li Laoer's voice fade away. "Mom, we can't do that. Farming every day is just enough for the family to eat. What will be left for me? My third brother is better at farming than me, and my eldest brother can grind the mill. I should be selling braised meat and dried meat."
Wang rolled her eyes and asked, what does she think of her man? Haha!
"If we want to keep the family business going, someone has to suffer. Don't you think that staying home to farm is the worst off?"
Li Lao Da and Li Lao Er looked at Qin Fangci and said nothing.
"Speak, now is the time for you to speak, why are you holding it in?"
"When you're not told to speak, you all shout loudly."
Boss Li and Second Li nodded slightly. Anyone with a discerning eye could see it.
"What do you think, third brother? Are you happy to be asked to take charge of the family fields?" Qin Fangci asked.
Li Laosan glanced at Wang, and Wang winked at him.
"If you two have anything to say, just say it. Let's get this matter out in the open today. If everyone rushes to the same place, it's obviously impossible to move forward. Let's come up with a set of rules for this matter today."
Under Qin Fangci's gentle gaze, Wang tentatively said, "Mother, if you say so, then I will say a few words."
"You say it." Qin Fangci encouraged.
Wang said boldly, "Mother, if we agree to this, then will my elder brother, second brother, and his wife never have to work in the fields again? Even if A-Tai and I were good at farming, we wouldn't be able to finish the work even if we worked day and night."
"We didn't say we wouldn't go to the fields. We will definitely be busy together during spring planting and autumn harvest. You just have to take care of it more on weekdays." Yuan whispered.
"Second sister-in-law, what if your business and spring planting are even busier and you have no manpower to spare?" Wang asked.
"We still have Dadan and Erdan in our family. Da Ya, Er Ya and San Ya can also help. In a few years, San Ya and Sandan in your family will have grown up and will all be helpers." Yuan said casually.
Wang immediately started arguing with Yuan.
Li Lao Er and Li Lao Da occasionally spoke, and their meaning was very clear: Li Lao San was good at farming.
Wang's intention gradually became clear. There were not enough people to work on the land with their children alone. If the tofu and braised meat made money, their family would not be treated unfairly.
After everyone had argued for several rounds and their faces were red and their necks were thick, Qin Fangci raised her hand.
"The quarrel is over, so listen to me." Qin Fangci glanced at the eldest, second, third and three daughters-in-law of the Li family one by one, and her eyes fell on the children.
The responsibility of uniting the family still falls on the shoulders of the children. In this case, she can only work harder and keep more money and power in her hands.
"You two have your own opinions, so let's separate them. The money will go to the public, and the tofu shop business will be left to you, the boss."
Boss Li's eyes lit up.
"How many pounds of beans do you harvest every day? How much beans do you soak? How much soy milk do you grind? How many people do you wholesale it to?"
The more Qin Fangci spoke, the stiffer the smile on Boss Li's face became.
"After the first month, I'll set a quota for the tofu shop. That's how much you have to earn. If you earn more than that, I'll give you a special commendation as a reward. If not, I'll deduct a portion of your wages accordingly."
"Ah!" Boss Li broke out in a cold sweat and felt as if the sky had turned dark in an instant.
He is in charge of everything. If the tofu doesn't sell well, he will be deducted from his salary. It seems like he might as well be farming.
At least everyone thinks that the farmers are at a disadvantage. Mother will definitely not let the people who everyone thinks are at a disadvantage suffer a loss, right?
Boss Li's eyes rolled around, and his brain was working at its peak at this moment.
"Mom, I think..."
"Don't even think about it yet." Qin Fangci looked at Li Laoer. "Laoer, you're right. You can't make a lot of money by doing small things. If you want to run a braised meat and dried meat stall, it will be the same. Plus, you have experience. I think you can set a goal with me in the first month on how much money you want to bring home."
"Gudong," Li Laoer swallowed his saliva.
Opportunities always come with challenges, and you can't get something for nothing without doing anything.
It all depends on how bold and capable you are.
Li Laoer's brain was also working rapidly, and Yuan didn't dare to speak casually.
It feels like I can’t pay back the seven taels I owe, and it will become even more.
Qin Fangci was not in a hurry to hear their answers and continued speaking.
"Every month, after deducting the capital, you still have one tael of silver left. Your wages for this month are 100 wen. I'll give you 10% of it. If you earn 10 taels of silver, this 10% will be one tael of silver!"
When the words "a sweet date for a beating" and "an ounce of silver" were mentioned, the breathing of Li Lao Da and Li Lao Er became heavier.
Boss Li thought that it was not impossible for him to try and earn a hundred wen a month, oh no, two hundred wen.
Li Laoer thought that if he could earn one or two taels of silver every month, he would be able to pay off the debt this year, in less than two years.
Maybe he can earn more in a month, then he will have some surplus this year.
"Old Third, if you farm, your family will get 10% of the crops each year. Calculated before the autumn tax, you'll get half a pig, three chickens, three ducks, and a new set of clothes every season."
"Ah!" Li Lao Da and Li Lao Er stared together.
Boss Li thought to himself, as expected, his mother would be partial to the person who seemed to suffer the most.
Li Laoer also calculated in his mind that if they could only earn 100 wen a month, that would be 1,200 wen a year.
It seems that the third brother doesn't do as much as he does.
At this moment, Yuan suddenly pinched Li Laoer. She suddenly thought of herself who had been scheming everywhere today and even didn't have a good meal in the end.
"You thief, what are you pinching me for?"
"Boss, let's listen to mom. Don't mess around like that. If you end up with nothing, you'll have to pay for it, and we don't have the money to pay."
"you mean……"
"Please put aside your little thoughts." After saying this, Yuan took out three copper coins from her bosom and handed them to Qin Fangci. "Mother, these are given to me by Wei Hu's wife. Here are the three copper coins. She asked me to come to you and say good things to leave a good reputation for their family. Hehe, I kept them and wanted to give them to you, but I forgot about it for a moment."
Boss Li glanced at Mrs. Du who was pregnant. It was obvious that his mother didn't want his wife to do heavy work. He felt that he couldn't do the work alone, even if he had a donkey.
Forget it, I won’t bother with it anymore.
Those who had been making a big fuss just now gave up one after another.
Qin Fangci was really annoyed at this moment, she felt so disappointed with her child!
You keep shouting about your ability, but why don’t you just be tough and take over the stall?
She has to work hard on her old bones!
Li Lao Da and Li Lao Er were confused when they saw that their mother's face looked even worse. Why, their mother was still unhappy even though they stopped making noise? Did their mother just like to see them making noise?
