Early the next morning, Jiang's mother came to Shutongyuan.
"Mom." Jiang Shu stood up to greet Jiang's mother when she saw her.
Mother Jiang held her hand and asked, "Did you get along well with your sisters at home yesterday?"
After Jiang Shu got married, he rarely went back to the Jiang family and didn't meet many of the Jiang sisters. His relationship was distant and cold.
But now that Jiang Shu is back home, he will often see them in the future, so he has to get used to it.
Jiang Shu shook his head and said: "It's not good. I can just ignore him from now on."
"What's wrong? But what did they say to annoy you?" Mother Jiang asked.
Jiang Shu pursed her lips and told Jiang's mother about Jiang Yun's matchmaking.
After hearing this, Jiang's mother said angrily: "She has a beautiful idea!"
"Are you just angry about this and don't want to see them again?"
Jiang Shu said: "That's not entirely true. The main thing is that I am not very interested in what they are talking about and I can't get along with them."
Jiang's mother sighed softly: "Mom knows that you have a broad vision. If you don't want to get along with them, I won't force you. It's not easy to live a new life. From now on, you can do whatever you want."
"Seriously?" Jiang Shu's eyes showed anticipation.
Jiang's mother's eyelids twitched when she saw it: "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Shu's eyes were bright and she said word by word: "I want to learn business from my father."
"This... you have to ask your father about this." Mother Jiang couldn't make the decision.
Although Jiang's mother is more open-minded and transparent than ordinary mothers, she is a housewife after all and cannot quite understand Jiang Shu's thoughts.
In Jiang's mother's opinion, the best life is for a woman to find a husband and live in a backyard with no worries about food and clothing, just like hers.
But obviously, Jiang Shu didn't think so.
"Is dad going out? I'm going to ask him now." Jiang Shu couldn't wait.
Mother Jiang said: "He drank a lot yesterday and just woke up now."
Jiang Shu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he took Jiang's mother to find Jiang's father.
After Jiang's father washed up and prepared for breakfast, Jiang Shu immediately stepped forward to serve Jiang's father porridge.
"It's good that my daughter is at home." Jiang's father sighed with tears in his eyes.
Seeing Jiang Shu serving porridge and dishes, Jiang's father felt warm in his heart. As if these six years were just a dream, Jiang Shu was still the good and filial daughter who surrounded them.
Jiang's mother said nothing, silently watching Jiang's father jump into Jiang Shu's pit.
"Dad, eat quickly, it will get cold soon." Jiang Shu placed the porridge that had been heated to the right temperature in front of Jiang's father.
Father Jiang took it and ate it happily.
After waiting patiently for Father Jiang to finish, Jiang Shu considered it and said, "Dad, I have something to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" Jiang's father didn't care.
Jiang Shu solemnly said: "I want to learn business from you."
"What?" Jiang's father thought he heard wrongly and looked at Jiang Shu and Jiang's mother in surprise.
"I want to learn business from you." Jiang Shu repeated.
Jiang's father frowned: "My daughter's family can't be in the public eye, how can we learn to do business."
Doing business is not just about giving advice in the back house. You have to go out from time to time to patrol the shop and observe current events.
"I can dress up as a man, so I can go out more easily." Jiang Shu had already planned it.
Father Jiang's eyes widened and he looked at Mother Jiang and said, "Is she in a daze or has a fever? See the doctor quickly."
Mother Jiang coughed lightly and said, "Shu'er is very nice. She just wants to learn business."
"What kind of business does my daughter's family do? Isn't it good to enjoy happiness at home?" Jiang's father was puzzled.
Doing business is not a fun thing. Not only do you have to deal with people from all walks of life, but you also have to travel far away to do business and sleep in the open, surrounded by dangers. It is not suitable for a daughter like Jiang Shu's family.
"The Jiang family has many properties, and my brother is young. It's too hard for dad to run it alone. I want to share the burden for dad." Jiang Shucheng said filial piety.
Father Jiang was moved and sighed: "Doing business is not as easy as you think."
Jiang Shu understood Jiang's father's thoughts, so he suggested: "I will study with dad for three months. If I don't have the ability to do business after three months, I will stay at home."
"It seems that you are determined. Aren't you afraid of being exposed and ruining your reputation? No one will dare to marry you in the future?" Jiang's father was worried.
Jiang Shu said with a serious face: "If this is really the case, then such a man is not worthy of me marrying."
Six years is enough time for Jiang Shu to understand that being obedient and obedient cannot win respect and pity. It is better to be yourself calmly.
Jiang's father was silent for a long time. He felt that what Jiang Shu said seemed reasonable, and hesitantly agreed to the three-month agreement.
"Thank you dad, thank you mom." Jiang Shu was excited and full of ambition.
In the evening, Jiang Ning came home from school and saw Jiang Shu dressed in men's clothes, with her black hair tied high and her eyebrows thickened without makeup. She had transformed from a charming girl to a young master Jiang.
"How?" Jiang Shu turned around in front of Jiang Ning in a coy tone.
Jiang Ning was stunned and dropped the pen to the ground in shock.
"Sister, why are you dressed like this?"
Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows and said, "I want to learn business from my father."
"Women in business?" Jiang Ning felt that his sister was too sassy.
So from that day on, Father Jiang had a handsome young man by his side, and he learned business from him.
Jiang Shu was already smart and very interested in doing business. He had some experience in running a dowry shop before, so he learned quickly.
In just a month or two, she understood the key points of Jiang's various shops and became Father Jiang's right-hand assistant.
On this day, Jiang Shu and Jiang Fu finished touring the grain store, and when they took a break to drink tea and discuss things, the clerk from the silk store hurriedly came to report.
"My boss, it's not good."
Father Jiang put down the tea cup: "What happened?"
The waiter said: "We went to the dock to pick up the goods today, but we didn't receive even a single truck of goods."
"What's going on?" Father Jiang asked solemnly.
"The silk merchant who supplied us went against his promise and cooperated with the Fang family instead. All the silk that arrived today was taken away by the Fang family."
"That's unreasonable." Jiang's father slapped the table and stood up, walking in a hurry.
Jiang Shu quickly stood up and followed.
It is already early winter, a critical moment for changing seasons and adding clothes, and an important period for silk shops to make profits. If the goods are out of stock, Jiangji Silk Store will suffer heavy losses.
After Jiang's father went to the silk shop to find out the whole story, he went to the inn to find shopkeeper Zhao who delivered the goods.
"We have cooperated for many years, why did you suddenly run out of stock?" Jiang's father asked angrily.
Shopkeeper Zhao was well prepared. He took out the goods contract signed with the Jiang family and a few banknotes and said, "Don't be upset, Boss Jiang. According to the rules, you will be compensated with double the deposit. Please order."
Seeing those banknotes, Jiang's father suddenly realized. He had fallen into the trap of the Fang family and Shopkeeper Zhao a few months ago.
Usually when the Jiang family places an order with shopkeeper Zhao, they pay a 30% deposit. But this time, shopkeeper Zhao offered to pay a deposit of one thousand taels as long as the Jiang family trusted the Jiang family after working together for many years.
Although the Jiang family had doubts at the time, they didn't think much about it.
Only then did Jiang's father understand the reason.
This plan of the Fang family cannot be said to be innocuous.
But the Jiang family had no evidence, so they could only suffer the loss of being dumb.
"Despicable and shameless!" Father Jiang's heart tightened with anger.
Shopkeeper Zhao snorted coldly: "The way to do business is to make profits. Boss Jiang has done nothing, so why should he be dissatisfied if he makes a thousand taels for nothing?"
"You!" Father Jiang was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Boss Jiang, it's better to leave." Shopkeeper Zhao handed Jiang's father the contract and banknotes, and issued an eviction order.
"Shameless villain!" Jiang's father returned to the silk shop angrily and called shopkeeper Liu to discuss countermeasures.
"How much stock is left in the warehouse? Is it too late to find new sources of goods now?"
Shopkeeper Liu frowned and said, "There are only a few dozen horses left in the warehouse, and I can't wait to find new sources."
"Then what should we do now?" Father Jiang paced back and forth anxiously.
Shopkeeper Liu lowered his head and remained silent.
