"Why do you want to take down Zhang Jipan? Is his wife unable to hold on anymore?" Yang Huazhong raised his head and asked again.
Yang Huamei nodded, with some sympathy and regret on her face, "For a widow, she is not very old, a few years younger than me. It will be difficult for her to support such a large business."
"Then she wants to give the shop to Dabai? Is she going to leave or what?" Yang Huazhong asked again.
"You are only in your twenties and not yet thirty, so you must remarry!" Yang Huaming curled his lips and sounded like an expert.
Yang Huamei frowned, but her tone had a sense of superiority: "Where can she go as a woman? Zhang Ji is her home. She just wants to rent the shop to a reliable person to take care of it. It just so happens Dabai is the adopted son and apprentice of Shopkeeper Zhang, and he has learned the craftsmanship of Shopkeeper Zhang. Dabai rented the shop and opened his own shop, while his wife stayed in the shop and continued to help him, just like before."
Yang Huazhong nodded, understanding now.
"Mei'er, let me ask you a question. Is it true that Dabai wants to support his adopted mother until she dies? That's absolutely impossible. You are his biological mother, and he hasn't even had time to honor you yet. What? You can be a godson to others in a serious manner!"
Yang Huamei turned around and held Tan's hands, "Mom, what did you say? Even if we go to the edge of the world, Dabai is still my biological son. This relationship is unbreakable no matter what."
Tan nodded, "That's true."
Yang Huamei continued: "If Zhang Ji's morning tea shop is sold to someone else, it will be impossible without a hundred taels of silver in a year. His adoptive mother will be the master of the dish for Dabai, and it will only cost fifty taels of silver."
"After the big white plate came out, I went back to my old business. There is no need to add any chopstick heads to the items inside, which also saves costs."
"Dabai is pitiful that his adoptive mother has nowhere to go, so he allows her to stay. It also shows that Dabai has grown up, knows how to repay kindness, and knows how to be generous to others. He can do this to an adoptive mother who has no blood relationship. For that reason, how can you treat me and Shuanzi as your biological parents in the future? So after I came back, I thought about it with Shuanzi and my father-in-law, and I felt that I still had to support it, so I was shameless. Come here and borrow money from Third Brother."
At this point, Yang Huazhong and the others have understood the cause and effect.
"How much do you want to borrow?" Yang Huazhong thought for a moment and then asked Yang Huamei.
Yang Huamei raised her four fingers in embarrassment, but before she could say anything, Mrs. Tan rushed to answer: "There's no need to ask, didn't I just say forty taels of silver!"
Yang Huaming's teeth were sore and he said in a rough voice: "Mom, please don't cause trouble. You can't borrow all the forty taels in the shop from me, right? Their old Wang family and their relatives over there can't squeeze out a penny? What's more? Dabai himself, he has not brought anything back home from his work at Zhang Ji in the past few months. He must have money on hand! They must find a way to make up the money themselves, and if they can't make up the vacancies, they can come to us to borrow money. Yes, third brother, do you think so?"
Yang Huazhong frowned and glanced at Yang Huaming without saying a word.
How do you say this?
There is nothing wrong with the fourth child's suggestion. Usually, he goes to borrow money from others. First, he has to scrape together money by himself. Only when he is unable to do anything can he go to his relatives to ask for help.
You can't just ask your relatives to pay all the bills. This doesn't make sense.
However, in view of the current situation of the old Wang family, Wang Shuanzi has been taking medicine and spending money, and Xiao Hei is studying, which is said to be expensive. Wang Hongquan is getting old, and taking care of crops is not as good as before. As for Meier, a woman can manage the vegetable garden. If the food is well prepared and the chickens, ducks, and pigs at home are raised, it will be good. You can’t count on anything else.
So Yang Huazhong was in a dilemma.
Yang Huamei was about to lift up her four fingers, but when she heard Yang Huaming's words, she shrank back in fear, put her hands on her thighs and grabbed her pants tightly.
Yang Ruoqing saw all this and felt helpless.
As a mother, she can completely understand Yang Huamei's mood at this time.
I hope my son will be successful. Even if my son is a piece of shit, I hope he can suddenly wake up one day and work hard. So once the son makes some progressive moves and makes some demands on his mother, the mother is like hearing the sound of nature and rushes around to help her son share the burden with her old face.
Yang Ruoqing does not insist on suppressing Dabai and preventing Dabai from getting ahead. Her principle of life and work is only compared with herself. The glory of others belongs to others. The glory of suppressing others will not shine on you.
What's more, today's Luo family doesn't need to suppress Dabai to achieve its own superiority.
However, in view of her understanding of Dabai over the years... about renting Zhang Ji's Morning Tea Shop, Yang Ruoqing had a gut feeling that something was wrong.
But what was wrong, I couldn't tell for a while.
"Auntie, let's go back to the previous question. Is it your own idea to borrow money? Or did Dabai ask you to come here and ask?" Yang Ruoqing then asked.
Yang Huazhong, Yang Huaming and others also looked at Yang Huamei again.
Yang Huamei bit her lip, her face full of confusion.
Seeing her appearance, Yang Ruoqing knew that it was Dabai who asked her to come over and speak.
"If Dabai asks you to come here to borrow money, then let Dabai come back and face us." Yang Huazhong knocked the dry tobacco pole in his hand and said.
"What you say here doesn't count. You are a second-rate dealer. I want to hear Dabai himself say that it is not impossible to borrow money, but I want to carefully interrogate him about his plans for the next business to see if he is acting on a whim. , I have really grown up and become sensible.”
"Third brother, I have the same idea as you. This matter must be brought to light before it will be useful. Mei'er is of no use to you." Yang Huaming waved his hand.
Yang Huamei gritted her teeth and said, "This matter was decided by me, Shuanzi, and my father-in-law. Dabai didn't ask me to borrow money..."
"Auntie, since Dabai didn't let you come back to borrow money, he must have other ways, so there is no need for you to take the job. Be careful of good intentions causing bad things." Yang Ruoqing took a sip of tea to moisten her throat.
"How can you do bad things with good intentions? He definitely can't get the forty taels of silver..." Yang Huamei and Yang Ruoqing said with a wry smile.
Yang Ruoqing shook her head, this may not be the case.
Yang Huaming said directly: "That kid Dabai hasn't come back for so long just because he wants to make a name for himself outside and return home in fine clothes. It would be better for you to come over and lend him money, then send it to him in a hurry. When he asks, he will be angry when he learns where the money came from. , he also thought about becoming the boss and coming back to show off his prestige with us, which has caused you to do bad things, it would be strange if he didn't annoy you!"
Yang Huamei was dumbfounded, how could she say such a thing?
Rather than feeling sorry for her grandson, Tan’s first priority was her daughter. The little old lady thought about it for a while and felt that Yang Huaming's concerns were reasonable.
