When Mrs. Li heard Mrs. Wang discussing with herself that she wanted to think of some more ways to continue making copper coins, burning paper and paper ingots, she felt bad all over!
"Mom, how angry did my husband get last time? Have you forgotten? If it hadn't been for my husband to stop me, my grandpa wouldn't have known about it. I don't even know how many times I've been taught a lesson by him. What are you doing, mom?" Do you still want to collect the paper money?"
Of course Mrs. Wang knew what Chu Ren didn't want them to do, but what could she do? Chu Ren and Chu Zhi were studying. There were so many people in the family waiting for food and clothing. Who didn't need money? Just count on Chu Ren. Let his father make the coffin alone, and he will have to drink the northwest wind! She accidentally caught Shen's little bitch last time. From now on, they will do their own research and see what else they can come up with.
"Aren is not happy because we were fooled by the Shen family and lost their lives in public. However, they have no evidence. Let's study hard and make it ourselves this time. If we don't slap Chu Yi and his wife in the face, we can do it ourselves. If we do, no one will dare to say anything about us!"
Mrs. Li also loves money, but she is more afraid that Chu Ren will get angry with Grandpa Chu. She thinks that Chu Ren is his mother-in-law when she catches up with Mr. Wang. No matter what he does, Chu Ren will never do anything to his mother-in-law. She was not the only one who was implicated: "Forget it, Grandma, let's just sell coffins and ordinary paper money. Grandma, I still have some work to do, so I'll go and get started!" "
After Mrs. Li finished speaking, she didn't care what Mrs. Wang's reaction was, and ran away, for fear that if she was a step too late, she would be dragged away to study how to make the paper money!
"Hey! Mrs. Li..."
Li refused to help, but Wang didn't want to give up. After thinking about it, no one could come up with an idea. Then she suddenly thought of Chu Fang. That girl had the most tricks up her sleeve. Maybe she could think of a way out for her. !
Chu Fang hasn't run to her parents' house very much since Chu Yi and his wife were taken away. At first, she was a little afraid of Chu Ren. Moreover, after her own instigation, she just waited to see the excitement. There was no need to go back. Chu Ren was looking for bad luck.
Later, Chu Yi and his wife were arrested, and Chu Fang didn’t know the inside story. For fear of being implicated, she almost cut off all contact with the Chu family for a while, and then there were various rumors about the Chu family. There were many things going on, but in the end it was not a good thing. Chu Fang even chose to hide aside and watch the fun, and refused to go to the muddy water!
Therefore, Chu Fang was stunned when she saw Wang appearing in front of her courtyard in the early morning: "Auntie? Why are you here?"
"I have something to ask you, Fang, are you free now?"
Chu Fang listened to Wang's explanation of the matter clearly. When she heard that Wang was debating whether to continue selling the paper money that Shen had made, Chu Fang immediately advised her without even thinking about it: "Mom, there's something else. There is no need to hesitate, my brother is really stupid because of studying! Then what is the purpose of studying for the imperial examination and striving for fame? Isn't it just asking for power? What the power will get back in the end is money! Now you can make money like this It’s a good idea, why don’t you use it? Why do you have to struggle with Yinzi?”
Chu Fang has a clear conscience. Based on her relationship with Chu Ren and the Li family, if Chu Ren really becomes a high official in the future, she, Chu Fang, will not even think about taking advantage. It is better to let A Niang and the others have more If you earn some money, you can go back and enjoy the autumn breeze when you have nothing to do!
Mrs. Wang only felt that Chu Fang was worthy of being her biological daughter, and she and she really thought of the same thing: "That's the truth, but after all, Ah Ren is a scholar. He thinks more and cares about his face, which is right. , so this time we can’t do it like before. Stealing will definitely not work. It’s best for us to do it ourselves, but Mrs. Li refuses to help. How can I do it by myself? Even if I can do it, then it’s not possible. I’m so busy!”
Chu Fang smiled and waved her hands: "What did I think it was? I just wanted to find a way to continue this business. What's so difficult about this? It's Li's turn to take Qiao!"
When Wang heard this, she immediately became energetic: "So you have something to do?"
"Aniang, why should we make our own paper money? Why don't we just buy it? After we buy it, we can sell it in the shop and make money, and we won't need Li anymore. From now on, Aniang If you get rich, don’t forget your daughter’s advice and I’ll help you with it today!”
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes at Chu Fang: "Return
I thought you could come up with some good method, but this is the result? Do you need to tell me how to buy it and sell it again? Not to mention that Mrs. Shen would never sell it to me. Even if she could sell it to me, what's the point of buying it from her for thirty cents and selling it for another thirty cents? "
Chu Fang smiled mysteriously: "Auntie is really stupid. Who said you should go to Shen's shop to buy it? They hired so many people to help make paper money. I heard that there are only a few copper plates for each knife. Let's You can buy it from them, or at worst, just give them a little extra money!"
Wang carefully considered what Chu Fang said: "Is this possible? The person who made paper money for Chu Yi and the others was either Chu Ping or Shen's natal family. Which one can sell it to us?"
"If you come forward yourself, Aniang, of course they won't buy it for you, but what if they don't know it's us who buy the paper money?"
"Fang, you've made me confused. What exactly are you going to do? Can't you explain it clearly at once?"
"Auntie, I mean we can find someone else to help us buy it. Who knows if it's not us? By the time Shen Luzhu realized what she was doing, we all took the paper money and sold it at home. We didn't If I grab the second one that I didn’t steal, what else can Shen do to prevent us from selling it?”
Mrs. Wang feels that what Chu Fang said is not a solution. Although it requires money to buy it, it is better than not earning a penny. Just spend some money first and sell it later. She will do more research when the time comes, and sooner or later she will be able to make it herself!
"Then tell me, we need to find someone to help us buy this. We need to find someone reliable!"
Chu Fang was waiting for Wang's words. She had already thought about it. If Wang couldn't go out and buy it herself, she would just ask her man to go and instruct her son-in-law to do the work. The mother-in-law should not give her money for running errands or anything like that. ? Besides, they would just burn the paper and secretly add an extra penny for each cut, which was a lot of money. For them, this job was a sure-fire business!
Chu Fang hurriedly thought about it and then said: "Of course it must be my Ma Wu, my son-in-law, why don't you worry!"
"That's it, then let your Ma Wu go, but this matter has to be done quickly. It's not long before Qingming Festival. If you buy it a day earlier, we can earn a day's money earlier, right?"
"Sure, I'll tell Ma Wu when he comes home for dinner at noon!"
Mrs. Wang nodded: "Besides, please don't let others know about this matter. You must keep it a secret from everyone, you know?"
"Now that I know it, Aniang, don't worry!"
Mrs. Wang, full of secrets, rushed back to the Chu family's new house before lunch, and then eagerly awaited Chu Fang's good news!
Not to mention, before nightfall, Chu Fang actually went to the Chu family's new house to bring good news to the Wang family. There was a family in Zhutun Village who had worked at Hu's shop before, and he happened to be able to make these copper coins and burn paper. Regarding the paper ingots, that family also said that when the Hu family owed them wages, they moved away a lot of raw materials used by the Hu family to make paper money. As a result, they have not been able to exchange them for silver until now.
After hearing that they wanted to buy paper money, they hurriedly got in touch with Ma Wu, saying that as long as the price was right, they would have a lot of it!
With the help of Ma Wu and Chu Fang, the matter was quickly settled. However, the price of the paper money was a bit beyond Wang's budget. The person opposite asked for copper coins, 28 yuan per knife, and ten paper ingots. Naturally, Wang couldn't accept the price of forty-five cents. Shen's shop only sells copper coins and burnt paper for thirty cents each, paper ingots for five cents, and forty cents for ten cents. This family is too shady, so after all, they don't make much profit!
Chu Fang and Ma Wu helped haggle in the middle, and finally came to the point where copper coins were burned for twenty-five cents per knife, and paper ingots were thirty-five cents for ten. The other party refused to give up the price at all, Wang said. Still unwilling, he discussed with Chu Fang: "Didn't you say before that the Shen family only gave them a few pennies to burn paper? Why is the house you are looking for so expensive? It's too shady!"
Although Chu Fang and Ma Wu were unable to add more money to the paper money, they were given some promises. Naturally, they hoped that the deal would go through: "Auntie, you have to think like this. I don't even have the raw materials." Since everything is included, the price will naturally go up. You have to know that Mr. Shen
But you have to pay for the raw materials yourself, and the money she gives you is just work money! "
"In this case, what we earn is too little, and all of it is given to others. They didn't buy the raw materials, and they didn't get them from the Hu family for free!"
"They use it to pay for their wages. If they sell less, wouldn't it mean that they can't even make up for their wages? Besides, Mom, have you ever thought about it, if all the paper money in your hand is sold out, then you will have to pay for it again." If you don’t sell it anymore, what will the people in the village say? They will say that you just stole Shen’s paper money to sell it, and now it’s all sold out, so you can’t make it anymore! Then they won’t necessarily say anything about my brother. Oh, but don’t let it affect his ability to take the imperial examination and become an official!”
Talking about other Wangs, they may still be a little hesitant, but when it comes to Chu Ren's imperial examination, it becomes much easier to discuss: "If you earn less, just earn less. When can you get the paper money? Can you?" Hurry up, I’m still looking forward to making some money this Qingming Festival!”
"I said that I have done a lot when I had nothing to do before. I originally planned to sell it on my own stall, but now that we can buy it together, it will save them trouble. They can go there with the money tomorrow to bring the goods back!"
Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and handed over a large amount of paper money first. The paper money was quietly transported to her home early the next morning. Ms. Li was really shocked when she saw it, but Ms. Wang still used Chu Fang to persuade her. I was convinced by my own rhetoric!
Mrs. Wang also kept an eye on it, thinking that since the paper money was so expensive, she might as well learn the previous method and mix some paper money she cut herself into it, so that she could earn a little more.
The Wang family had just started their posture and planned to start a big fight. An acquaintance came to the paper money shop of the couple in the Chu family's old house. It was Jiang Quan: "Cousin, what you said before has come true." Yes! I paid and delivered the goods this morning!"
Shen Luzhu smiled when he heard this, turned to Chu Yi and said, "Then let's take advantage of the Qingming Festival to give back to the folks for their support for so long. How about doing a group buying event with a discount?"
