Chapter 661 Specifically for My Good Fortune
Du Mingxian suddenly laughed, and Ling Silang laughed along with her. "The Du family says your cousin Du Mingwei is a lucky woman, but I think the Du family must be mistaken. You are the real lucky woman, you bring me good fortune."
"You've become so good with words lately. I never knew you were so eloquent before."
"Anything I say is worth it if it makes my wife happy, and I only say nice things to her."
Du Mingxian felt that Ling Silang was in good condition. "Alright, go to sleep early. I think after Dacheng's wife made such a fuss today, the money that should be refunded has been refunded. We can wait for the last day tomorrow, and then we can start preparing for business the day after tomorrow."
"Have you decided which business to run in the clan? I may have a good brain for studying, but I'm not good at business."
"I was thinking of making white sugar, but we don't produce a lot of sugarcane here, so let's make soap instead. Making good soap can also make a lot of money."
Ling Silang looked at her with immense admiration, "You're really amazing."
"I know a lot more than that," Du Mingxian said without any modesty, because when she was reincarnated into the modern world, she was determined to learn as much as possible.
She never expected to come back one day, which surprised her greatly.
The next day, Du Mingxian waited all day but no one came. That evening, the family sat down together again to discuss the matter.
“No one else is coming to ask for a refund today, so everyone else can have one.” Ling Silang looked at his father. “Father, Mingxian has decided that the business for the clan will be making soap. You will still need to step in to handle things.”
Ling's father had no objection at all. "Okay, I have no problem with that. Tomorrow I will discuss it with the clan chief and then call together the heads of the families who lent us money to discuss this matter."
"It also depends on whether the other party agrees. If someone disagrees, we will return the money to them. If they agree, that would be even better."
"Dad, let's ask everyone's opinion first. If there are disagreements, we can elect someone to leave. Those who remain are the ones who are willing to work with us. Only when we are of one mind can we get things done."
"it is good."
Ling Silang then glanced at Ling Dalang and Ling Erlang who were present. "Originally, our plan was that the eldest brother would still run the winery at home, the second brother would go to the restaurant to work, and the third brother would lead everyone to do soap business. But now the third brother is not in good condition and is temporarily unable to move around. We don't know what to do to make arrangements."
Ling Dalang and Ling Erlang were both a little excited, but also a little scared. After all, they had tried to do business before, but in the end, they couldn't do it anymore. They didn't know if they could start over.
"Our family's wine... is no longer supplied to the imperial court. If we try to sell it ourselves, we don't know if we can succeed, and some people might try to suppress our business."
Ling Dalang was very worried.
"Don't worry, brother. We'll start a business again. If anyone dares to suppress our business, we'll fight back," Du Mingxian assured her.
Ling Silang also assured him, "Brother, don't worry, it's fine, we will fight back."
Ling Erlang shared the same concerns as Ling Dalang, but he trusted his younger brother and sister-in-law more.
Ling's father thought that his sons all had businesses, and this job was a good one for Sanlang. Sanlang also had a good temperament, and it would be easy for him to discuss things with the villagers.
Sanlang's wife's eyesight is not good now, so it's definitely not good for her to continue embroidering. It would be better for Sanlang to manage the clan's business.
"Anyway, it's a soap business. Let's leave it to the third son's wife for now. Once Sanlang has recovered, we'll let him come back. Even if he has physical problems, as long as he can use his brain, it's not a big deal. We can just let him worry about it then."
With Ling's father saying this, the matter was essentially settled, and Ling Dalang and the others had no objections.
"That's settled then. I'll go see the clan chief tomorrow. You all should get some rest too. Once things are settled, I'll have the third son's wife lead a group to make soap. Once we've established a market, we can expand the scale."
"Dad, don't worry about sales. Our family also runs a restaurant. As long as the restaurant does well, we won't have to worry about finding customers for our soap," Du Mingxian reassured everyone.
Mr. Ling nodded emphatically, quite satisfied with his sons and daughters-in-law.
"Second brother, in the next few days, please find a few people to renovate the shop. We have already drawn up the blueprints. If there is anything you don't understand, just come to us."
"Okay, okay." Ling Erlang was very happy. Finally, he didn't have to be a fake cook anymore and could do his own thing.
This era is very harsh on women. Many people are unwilling to work as a cook if they know the cook is a woman. So he can only pretend to be a chef. Every time he follows behind his wife, he is responsible for pretending to stir-fry while his wife adds the seasonings and takes charge of the overall situation.
“Brother, since you’re free these days, let’s start brewing wine again. Once the business is up and running, we’ll hire a tutor to come back to the village and start teaching the children.”
Everyone agreed with Ling Shilang's arrangement, and both of them were very happy.
The next morning, everyone got to work.
Ling Dalang took his children to the old workshop in the back to brew wine again. Ling's father went to find the clan chief, while Ling Erlang had already found people to renovate the shop.
Du Mingxian, Liu Shi, and Xiao Zhou Shi were making soap together in the kitchen, while Ling Silang was in the room with An'an.
Wang knew last night that she would be starting to brew wine again, and her body, which had been lacking in energy, is much better today. Ling's mother is also in much better condition.
Everything was moving in a positive direction, except for a slight obstacle encountered with Ling's father.
The clan chief was shocked to hear what Ling's father said, and at the same time, he showed great disapproval. "I'm not saying this to be mean, but I'm afraid this won't work. You said you were borrowing money before, and now you want to use the borrowed money to invest in a business. What if the business fails? Then all the money that the villagers borrowed will be gone."
“They were willing to lend you this money because they trusted you. What you’re doing will make them feel disheartened.”
Mr. Ling naturally understood this principle. “No, it’s not like that. Although we have this plan, if the borrowers are unwilling to use the money to invest in business, we will not force them. I am willing to repay whatever amount they lend.”
Seeing that Ling's father didn't intend to use everyone's money to invest in business, the Ling clan chief felt a little relieved. "I think it would be better to call them over and ask them. If they are willing, then proceed according to your plan. If they are not willing, then you should still give them the money."
“Sure, no problem.” Mr. Ling readily agreed.
Seeing Ling's father's state, the clan chief hesitated for a moment. "Tell me the truth. Is your family not short of money? Did you pay back the loan sharks when Silang came back? Did you borrow money from everyone just to test people's hearts?"
Father Ling nodded somewhat embarrassedly, “That’s right, the family was indeed in dire straits before Si Lang came back. When Si Lang and the others returned, they brought some silver with them and paid off the loan sharks.”
Chief Ling was so angry that he rolled his eyes and said, "You've finally become more sensible."
