Chapter 515: I Sold It !
“Enough!” Tong Tiehu rebuked her, “Isn’t it shameful enough for you?!”
“Who’s embarrassed?! Isn’t this how all businesses operate?! Doesn’t every family that does business fret about the difficulty of making money!”
Zhang Family stiffened her neck to retort a sentence to Tong Tiehu, then looked toward the villagers surrounding Qiao Changshun, and loudly said, “I only make five cooper coins for eight pounds of bean sprouts! Yesterday, I only sold thirteen pounds of bean sprouts all day, only making six to seven coins a day, is that robbing people?!”
On the first day of the new store opening, all one hundred pounds of bean sprouts were sold out.
As a result, the sales volume of bean sprouts plummeted yesterday, with only thirteen pounds sold in a day.
Only six or seven coins were made in one day. If you say she’s robbing, she won’t accept it!
“You all earn seven coins a day working at Qiao Xiaomai’s house, and I’m making just as much from my business, is this robbery?!”
“If you think I’m robbing money, you don’t have to buy from me in the future, you can also report me in County Town! My words are right here, my bean sprouts will still be sold in the future, a coin a pound!”
When Zhang Family’s words fell, the scene became quiet again.
Her explanation seem to make sense.
Doing business, in the impression of the villagers, makes a lot of money. The Jiangs, the Tongs, and the Qiaos in the village are all quite rich.
Now that Zhang Family’s explanation, the income from selling bean sprouts a day is as much as their work at Qiao Xiaomai’s house, that wouldn’t count as robbing money…
It can only be said that it’s not very honorable.
She’s slippery and not honest when she’s facing her neighbors, really dishonest, really dishonest.
If she had been straightforward about it, everyone wouldn’t have said anything!
Seeing the turn of events, Sun Family put away the smug expression on her face, and hummed, “Stop complaining. How much money did you make selling bean sprouts on your store’s first day of opening?”
“Isn’t it okay for my shop to earn a few dozen coins on its opening day?” Zhang Family retorted with her hands on her hips, “You just falsely accused my family and Qiao Xiaomai of plotting to steal everyone’s money. That’s a false accusation!”
“Dad, she’s deliberately smearing our family. Shouldn’t she be punished? Shouldn’t she be taken to County Town?”
“And she, a shrew who was driven out of the village, what right does she have to stir up trouble in our village?!”
Tong Tiehu hesitated, he looked at the dozens of villagers surrounding Qiao Changshun and asked, “What do you think? Is my family robbing money?”
“That… shouldn’t be.” Someone started to speak.
Making five coins for a pound of soybeans does seem a lot.
But if you convert it to bean sprouts, making five coins for eight pounds of bean sprouts, which amounts to less than ten coins a day, it doesn’t seem like a rip-off.
“It shouldn’t be.” Someone certainly gave the answer.
“That’s right, that’s right. Only a few coins a day, it’s not a rip-off.”
“Not a scam, not a scam. And after watching for so long, shouldn’t we be heading to the fields? We’re being delayed from our work here?” Google seaʀᴄh NovelHub(.)net
Those villagers started to chatter.
Now that the matter with the Tong Family seems to be clear, let’s get to the fields quick, staying here is delaying their wage-earning work.
Those words reached Qiao Changshun’s heart, “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s get to the fields.”
He said, as he got into the ox cart first.
The villagers also got on the cart, the driver whipped the ox, and the ox cart and donkey cart headed towards the fields along the main road.
Seeing this, Sun Family didn’t bother to deal with Tong Tiehu and Zhang Family anymore, she quickly walked towards the little horse cart at the edge of the wheat field, “Let’s go, let’s follow them.”
Seeing this, Zhang Family wanted to call back Sun Family, but Tong Tiehu glared at her fiercely, “Shut your mouth!”
Although these ten or so people have stated their position, he does not know what they really think inside.
