Chapter 153 Let’s Talk

Zhang Yunniang felt overwhelmed. Her sister always backed down when it came to money, but she had never done less.

She didn't know how to deal with it, and couldn't help looking at Niuniu.

Niuniu said crisply: "Mom, then we will open a marinade workshop and continue to partner with Aunt Liu, and follow the previous share."

Zhang Yunniang laughed and praised: "Niuniu still has a way."

She looked at Liu Xiaoru on the side.

Liu Xiaoru said, "If Niuniu doesn't want to sell the house and open a marinade shop, then I will definitely not take 30% of the shares. I will just get some wages on time."

Zhang Yunniang frowned and said, "We are doing business together, how can we change it just like that?"

Niuniu also nodded vigorously and said, "If that's the case, then I don't want to do business anymore."

Hearing this, Zhang Yunniang had an idea and advised Liu Xiaoru, "If you really want to be so humble, then Niuniu and I have the same idea. We won't sell the recipes and won't open the marinade workshop. Let's live with the money we have now."

Liu Xiaoru was anxious and said, "Sister, the capital is full of places to spend money. The money we have saved now is not enough to spend. How can we stop doing a good business?"

"Then you have to agree and do business as before." Zhang Yunniang grabbed her hand and said.

Liu Xiaoru really had no way to deal with Zhang Yunniang and her daughter. Others wanted to hold all the money in their arms, but these two people pushed away all the money they got.

Niuniu suddenly raised her head and stretched out her hands to Liu Xiaoru.

Liu Xiaoru picked her up helplessly, gently touched the tip of the little girl's nose, and said, "You are such a little fool."

Niuniu shook her head and said, "Aunt Liu, Niuniu is not a little fool. Niuniu knows who is good to me."

Liu Xiaoru felt very relieved.

Seeing that the matter was settled, and the silver she got was divided into 30% for nothing, Mrs. Gu always felt uncomfortable.

She couldn't help but mutter a few words to Gu Mingda in private.

Gu Mingda had expected his mother to react like this.

"It is more important than anything else to have someone you can trust to take care of your business. If you feel bad about it, then I won't study anymore. Yunniang and I will work together to make money. What do you think?" Gu Mingda asked.

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she was so anxious that she wanted to jump up and said, "The most important thing for you now is to study. How can you say such a thing? I have no opinion on Xiaoru. I like her very much, but 30% is too much. How about giving less, 10%?"

Gu Mingda said, "Mother, do you think it's a lot? Yunniang and I don't think it's much. If her sister didn't want it, Yunniang originally planned to give 50%."

Mrs. Gu opened her mouth slightly, thinking it was outrageous.

"The recipe is ultimately Niuniu's. It's fine as long as she has decided on someone. We have already taken a great advantage. If you think Miss Liu is inappropriate, then all 10% is Niuniu's. Just follow her idea. Don't sell the recipe and don't do business. What do you think?" Gu Mingda asked softly.

Old Lady Gu glared at him unhappily and said, "Okay, I'm old and can't control you!"

Old Lady Gu knew better than anyone that her second son was a man of his word. Now she only dared to mutter a few words in private. If she really made a scene in front of Liu Xiaoru, she was afraid that her son would really make a scene to stop doing this business.

Now she is still receiving wages from the stewed food shop. If she really stopped doing business, she would also have to starve to death.

The two of them spoke to guard against others, but not the confused old man Gu.

Old man Gu said vaguely: "You asked for it..."

When Old Lady Gu heard this voice, she jumped up again: "Old man, what are you talking about? Speak louder!"

Old man Gu looked at his wife with a pair of turbid eyes and continued: "You asked for it..."

Old Lady Gu was mad at the old man.

Since Niuniu came to the Gu family, Old Man Gu has been sober more and more.

"Children and grandchildren...have their own blessings...Why can't you...let go of it?" Old Man Gu said intermittently.

Gu Mingda looked at his father with surprise and hurried forward to support him.

He cherished his father's sobriety more than anyone else, and whispered: "Dad, do you remember me?"

Hearing this, Old Man Gu stretched out his hand and slowly touched Gu Mingda's face: "Second boy...how come you are so old?"

Gu Mingda suddenly burst into tears.

"You are a good person. If you pass the imperial examination, our family will rely on you...Niuniu is also counting on you..." Old Man Gu murmured.

Gu Mingda nodded vigorously.

Old Man Gu looked at the old lady again and said: "If there is anything...just listen to...Second boy, it will be...definitely correct!"

Seeing her husband like this, Old Lady Gu couldn't get angry. After realizing that he was sick and confused, the old man repeatedly told her to listen to Gu Mingda while his mind was still clear.

"I know. I just said a few words, and I didn't force them to be the boss." Mrs. Gu said with her head down.

Father Gu nodded with relief, and then his eyes became confused again: "Where is Niuniu? Where is my Niuniu?"

Gu Mingda hurriedly shouted into the house.

Niuniu rushed out of the house with brisk steps.

"Niuniu, do you want some candy?" Father Gu tried hard to get something out of his sleeve, but he couldn't get anything out for a long time.

Looking at this, Mrs. Gu took off the purse she was wearing and handed it to her husband.

After taking the purse, Father Gu took out a few sweet-scented osmanthus candies from it.

Niu Niu ate one and looked at her grandparents with a happy face: "It's delicious!"

Seeing that the child liked it, the old couple was also very happy.

Father Gu pulled Niu Niu to sit next to him and said, "For... for Guai Bao."

After that, he took out a palm-sized wooden sculpture and handed it to Niu Niu.

The wooden sculpture was a little girl with two buns on her head, smiling sweetly, and her eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as Niu Niu.

"Grandpa carved me!" Niu Niu said excitedly, holding the wooden sculpture against her face.

Seeing that she liked it, Father Gu was so happy that his eyes narrowed into a slit.

"Guai Bao, what else do you want? For... for Guai Bao!" Father Gu said stumblingly.

"Grandpa, can you carve the whole family?" Niu Niu asked with her little head tilted.

Old Man Gu nodded vigorously: "If Niuniu wants it, Grandpa will give it to her."

Niuniu was so happy that she almost jumped up.

Old Man Gu looked at Old Lady Gu again: "Chicken... for Guaibao... to replenish his body."

Old Lady Gu glared at him and said, "How could I not know such a small matter? I will go to kill the chicken in a while."

The braised food shop made a lot of money every day, and the family lived a comfortable life. Old Lady Gu was not as reluctant to kill the chicken as before.

But the old lady looked at Niuniu again, and while Gu Mingda had already returned to the house, she pulled the child to her side and whispered: "Guaibao, are you really willing to give your Aunt Liu so much money? That money is enough for you to buy a lot of osmanthus candies, enough for a lifetime."
