Chapter 43 Cooperation Begins
Cheng Yi, who had been tired for a day, followed his father back to his yard. As soon as he entered the door, Cheng Yi and his son heard the voices coming from the hall. When he walked in, he found that Yang Muxue's parents and two brothers were coming. Cheng Yi, who was already tired, was cheering up and bowing to his father-in-law and his two brothers. Cheng Changqing also started chatting with Yang Tianxiong and his wife. It was not until late at night that Yang Muxue sent his parents and two brothers to the guest room and was already sleeping in fog.
Yang Ruxue got up early in the morning. Seeing her husband beside her sleeping soundly, she couldn't bear to wake her up. So she went to clean up first. When she arranged for her parents and two brothers to come back after breakfast, Cheng Ai's shadow was gone in the room, only Cheng Ruoyi on the small bed was still sleeping soundly.
"Dad, brother, will you leave in the afternoon?" Yang Muxue returned to the hall.
"An, I'll go back in the afternoon. I'm not relieved of those boys at home." Yang Tianxiong said. Most people thought he was angry with his heavy voice.
"Dad, Cheng Ai and my father-in-law have been too busy these two days and have no time to talk to you. Why don't you leave tomorrow?" Yang Muxue said. Her father had been here for two days before he met Cheng Ai and had not said a few words yet.
"I won't say it anymore, let's talk about it next time. It's not far away. Look at how busy the father and son have been in the past two days. When I have time, I'll bring your nieces and nieces to see you." Yang Tianxiong said. Yang Muxue's two brothers were sitting next to him and talking to his mother.
"Hey, I don't know what happened these days. People come to my family every day. Isn't it like this before?" Yang Muxue complained.
"Daughter, don't say that. This is a great thing for the Cheng family. In the future, the Cheng family will be a big family in Luocheng. You can't say some things." Yang Tianxiong warned his daughter. Judging from the situation in the past two days, the Cheng family is getting better and better day by day, and Yang Tianxiong is relieved about his granddaughter.
"Dad, mom. You guys and brothers have a seat. I'll go and see if Ruoyi is awake." Yang Ruxue turned around and left the hall.
The Cheng family's convention hall was crowded now, except for the head of the Cheng family, several elders and Cheng Ai. Some people from the outer sect were also invited here today, and there were some people in charge of the family business in the past. The hall was full of people running around to serve tea and water.
Cheng Ai was already like this when he came. He stood all over the place without knowing each other, and he could hardly squeeze in. In the end, his third uncle pulled him in. Besides, his third uncle was still frowning all day a few days ago, but he had changed back to his original appearance in the past two days, and he was careless and shouted at the servants. He just cursed at these people from the Cheng family. However, everyone knew Cheng Changzhan's temper, so he didn't care about him.
"Everyone, calm down, the head of the family has something to say." Cheng Changsheng stood up and said when he was sitting down, as if so many people were standing here just to wait for him. Otherwise, why would he start as soon as he entered the door?
"Today I'll bring you all together, there's something to discuss with the heads of each family and the shopkeepers." Cheng Ke started to speak quietly. They didn't want to make Cheng Ke unhappy. After all, they were relying on the family for dinner. If they provoke the head of the family, their life would be difficult.
Cheng Ke sat down at the head and slowly explained the business that the city lord and the Dong family said last night to the people below. In fact, Cheng Yi knew in his heart that these people came here just to listen and would not have any opinions. Calling these people here proved that what happened last night was decided. There were only two things to ask these people to come, one was to ask them to pay and the other was to ask them to contribute their efforts.
Everyone below also understood that even if the head of the family called him to discuss such a big thing, it would be better to say it was not so much a discussion. They came here just to go through the motions.
"Since I've finished listening, the heads of each company and the shopkeepers on each cabinet all said what they had to do." Cheng Ke finished everything.
The following group of you look at me, I look at you, no one knows what to say, and no one dares to say it first.
"If you have any opinions, just say it. If you don't have any opinions, go back and prepare, and leave enough family living expenses for a month. The rest of the money will be paid to the family first. After a month, the family will pay you a unified living expenses. Everyone should understand that this is only temporary. After this year, the family will return your capital to you, and you will pay each family dividends in the future. You will understand." Cheng Changsheng stood up and said.
The people below started arguing again, making a lot of noise. Cheng Yi felt that his mind was almost blown up.
"Do you understand? If you understand, get out of here, don't make noises." Cheng Changzhan immediately cursed when he saw the messy people.
"Three, what are you doing?" Cheng Changsheng cursed. "The shopkeepers on each cabinet will wait a moment, and the rest of the tribe will return." Cheng Changsheng waved his hand.
The crowd began to walk out in a raucous manner. After a while, there were few people in the hall, and the remaining shopkeepers were still standing there in a proper manner.
"A few people who have long cabinets go back and clean up the cabinets, leaving them for a month's expenses, and pay all other money first. After this year, our situation will gradually improve." Cheng Ke said.
"I know the head of the family." Several shopkeepers on the cabinet also retreated one after another.
"You all go back and clean up, this time you don't want a small amount. Don't affect the future development of the family for your own selfish interests. Try to raise more funds. Our Cheng family will give it a try this time." Cheng Changsheng said to several elders.
Several elders in the hall also stood up and dispersed. Cheng E and his father walked towards their own yard.
"Dad, can the family spend so much money?" Cheng Yi asked carefully. Because he knew the situation of his family, it was difficult for his family to get 10,000 taels of gold, let alone so much.
"Okay, except for us, each of the other companies can get 30,000 to 50,000 taels of gold. But we are not bad. We take too little and are afraid that people will gossip. If they take too much, they can't get it out. Alas!" Cheng Changqing sighed.
"Dad, if not, please lend some to my father-in-law, otherwise we will also bring him in to cooperate. Haven't they been hunting monsters in the mountains? Let them cooperate with us, and then share some of the share we get in the future?" Cheng Yi felt that this was a good idea.
"Oh, it's good, but why do you tell me? Besides, we don't know if this is good or not. Pull them in. What if it's not good?" Cheng Changqing said.
The father and son walked all the way and discussed back to their yard. It was lunch time, and Cheng Ruoyi's cheerful laughter came from the hall. The father and son looked at each other and walked in quickly.
