20, Showdown
"Uncle and aunt, aunt and mother, you also ate the rice noodles that your nephew gave you just now. Do you think this rice noodle can be sold if it is sold?" When all the relatives had eaten almost enough, Wang Bo finally began to get back to business, ready to return to today's topic.
"I have never eaten such delicious rice noodles!" I must be able to sell them!" Erniang was the first to speak.
"The question is where you sell! It must be different whether you sell it in your house or on your street!"
"Yes, Bo'er, are you really going to open a rice noodle shop?" It was the second aunt who asked, and after asking, she casually glanced at her husband, probably realizing something.
"It's Bo'er, are you really going to open a rice noodle shop?
"You guessed it, our family is going to open a rice noodle shop! But not at the top of the house -- which one is going to eat at the top of the house -- we're going to open one in the square city. My dad and I have already seen the shop this morning, and it is on the edge of Sifang Middle School, and the location is very good. I paid all the deposits, and I was going to sign the contract in two days. The problem now is that there is still little money in the family, and I would like to implore all the uncles and aunts to support my nephews. This rice noodle shop is very important to my nephew! It is not too much to say that life and death are at stake! Because my nephew will be admitted to university in two years, and there is basically no problem in getting into a key university based on my grades! However, if I go to university, the tuition fee for a year will cost a few thousand, not counting the accommodation and living expenses. And this situation of our family, as you know, will definitely not be able to pay it at that time! If there is this rice noodle shop, then our family's life, including my future college tuition, will not have to worry. β
After laying so much groundwork, in the end, Wang Bo "showdown" with his relatives, and then it was time to see the effect. At this time, he suddenly felt that his heartbeat was inexplicably faster, and his heart was quite nervous, even when he faced his cousin at his aunt's house in the city in the morning, he had never experienced it.
Before Wang Bo finished speaking, the atmosphere began to change and became a little dull. At first, there was still chattering, and the relatives who were talking and laughing were silent, and for a while, they stopped talking.
This dull and slightly depressing atmosphere made Wang Bo's mother Zeng Fanyu anxious, and she was worried that she was about to open her mouth and ask for her own brothers and sisters, but Wang Bo stopped her with his eyes. Wang Bo knows his mother's character very well, and once he speaks, it is likely to become a pleading. In his previous life, he had no choice but to beg anyone in this life.
"Doing business? I'm afraid that the current business is not so easy to do! If you don't do it well, it's easy to lose money. "The first one to open up was the eldest aunt.
As soon as the eldest aunt opened her mouth, someone immediately answered, and the second aunt immediately continued, "That's it! How can the current business be so good! My sister is an honest person, and she can't count the accounts, and Brother Wang's personality is that kind of big grinning character." This kind of character is easy to lose money when going to business. β
The third aunt was not easy to speak because she had only married the divorced third uncle for a long time, but as soon as she heard that it involved borrowing money, her face still changed, although it was very slight, but Wang Bo, who had been paying attention to the reaction of his relatives after the showdown, noticed it.
Wang Bo looked at his uncles again.
The eldest and second uncles were smoking, still smiling on their faces, but their expressions didn't change much. My uncle went to the toilet just now, but he wasn't there, only my aunt was there. The little aunt didn't speak, but looked at Wang Bo with a sly smile on her face, and winked at him. Wang Bo responded by shrugging his shoulders. The two completed a silent exchange when no one else was looking.
Wang Bo's four uncles, except for the third uncle, who often worked outside, the other three were out-and-out farmers, hardworking, thrifty, and honest, and were busy in the fields for at least 300 days a year for 365 days. They can't say anything big, they can only treat people with sincerity, but unfortunately, because of personality reasons, the financial power of the family naturally fell into the hands of aunts and uncles.
The two mothers and the two aunts didn't open their mouths. The second aunt didn't talk much, and the younger aunt had been drinking tea, probably thinking about something, or simply waiting for others to speak.
No one spoke, no one took Wang Bo's move, so that he couldn't help but start playing the drum in his heart, which was still full of confidence.
"Do I think too well of my uncles and mothers? Even if the eldest uncle, the second uncle, and the third uncle are more hanging, the younger uncle, and the two mothers should also have some reaction? What does it mean to be silent now? I don't want to borrow?" Wang Bo thought to himself.
In his previous life, after his sister died, his uncle, his mother, and his second mother completely regarded Wang Bo as their son, not only often called to ask for warmth, but also asked Wang Bo many times if he was bad for money, and if he was bad, he would open his mouth and don't carry it himself. Especially the uncle who has no children, he treats Wang Bo even more heartlessly, without any care. In those countless lonely and lonely nights, thinking of his deceased mother and his uncles and mothers' kindness to him, Wang Bo's eyes were red and tears rippled.
However, whether in his previous life or in this life, Wang Bo himself has never borrowed a penny from his relatives and friends, even in his most difficult days, he has never opened his mouth. Like his own mother, he belongs to the kind of character who would rather be owed to him than to be owed by others. There are all kinds of emotions in the world, but human affection is the most difficult for him. He inherited the character of being diligent and thrifty from his mother and uncles and mothers, and developed the habit of saving money since he was a child.
If he hadn't known that he would definitely develop in the future, and he would have the opportunity to repay his uncle and mothers tenfold and hundredfold, according to Wang Bo's nature of "don't ask for anything for anything", he wouldn't have asked his relatives to borrow money if he was killed. "People are close to money", "brothers, settle accounts", "help the emergency but not the poor", these ancient sayings and common sayings clearly tell Wang Bo the principles that should be followed in interpersonal communication. And he, in his limited life in his previous life, was accustomed to seeing those who were restless because money was not handled well - husband and wife were not in harmony, relatives turned against each other, and even his wife was separated.
Just when Wang Bo's thoughts were flying, thinking about what the uncles and ladies were planning to do, the little aunt who had been silent finally opened his mouth: "Bo'er, have you budgeted, how much do you need for this rice noodle shop?"
Wang Bo was obviously stunned, and he hadn't reacted from the doubts about his relatives, but he quickly came back to his senses, was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "I've done the budget several times." The faΓ§ade sublease fee is 1200, the monthly rent is 600, and the deposit is paid for three, so the rent here needs to be paid 3600 at one time. The cake shop has already been renovated and the kitchen is ready-made, so you only need to change the sign, decorate it simply, buy a few tables and chairs, and buy some kitchen utensils with rice noodles, and you can open for business. In total, I did the math, and it would cost about 5,000 dollars. β
"Five thousand ......" The little aunt picked up the tea cup that would never leave her, took a sip of strong tea, thought about it, and said, "I stocked up on a batch of shoe soles last month, and if I want to sell them, I will have to wait at least two or three months, otherwise I will give you the five thousand." In this way, your little mother and I will give you 2,000! The remaining 3,000 will be made up by your uncles and second mother. Old dream, how many do you make?" the little aunt directly pointed the finger at the third uncle.
"Ah!" The third uncle Zeng Fanmeng didn't expect Zhang Zhiping to suddenly point the finger at himself, a little overwhelmed, looked around, and saw that everyone was looking at him, the third uncle gritted his teeth and said, "That's ...... Then I'll give five hundred!"
"Climb yours! Can you get five hundred? No, one thousand! It's not that everyone doesn't know about your family!"
"I ...... How can I have any family background? A little family background has also been ruined by the ghost beans every day!" the third uncle Zeng Fanmeng made a very aggrieved look. The Tian Tian in his mouth is his son, Wang Bo's cousin Zeng Tian.
"Then I'll add a thousand to Bo'er!" Zeng Fansong, the uncle who went to the toilet, just came out of the toilet, and after listening to the relay of the little aunt, he immediately expressed his willingness to support a thousand.
"Now there are four thousand. Which of the remaining 1,000 will come out?" the little aunt simply became a fundraising host.
"The remaining thousand I'm out. Erniang Zeng Fantao immediately said, "With such a good taste of rice noodles, if you open a store in the four directions, it will be unreasonable for business to be bad." β
"Look, let's get together as a family, won't this money come out? Bo'er, when do you want this money, I'll call your little lady to get it for you. β
"I told the owner of the cake shop to sign the contract within three days. If you don't go for three days, the deposit will not be refunded. Wang Bo hurriedly replied, at this time, his heart was simply happy, so fast, the feeling, even more violent than sleeping with a woman.
Since you have to be in a hurry, then you will come to our house tomorrow, there is not so much cash at home, I will call your little lady to go to the savings bank to get it for you. The little aunt said, and then turned her head to the rest of the people who promised to pay, and admonished, "A few of you are also ha, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you will take it out for others, don't delay other people's big things." β
"I want you to say!" the little aunt said deliberately "dissatisfied," "I'll send it directly to Bo'er tomorrow! Unlike you, you have to ask someone to get it! Your motorcycle is so labor-saving, you don't know how to take the money and send it over? You have to ask someone to run Bo'er! What kind of aunt are you!"
"Hey, say this!" The little aunt waved her hand magnificently, turned her head and instructed the little lady, "Zeng Fanxiu, you take the money tomorrow and send it directly to Bo'er home, lest your sister talk nonsense there!"
"Yes!" replied the little lady with a smile.
Several people were discussing the matter of borrowing, but the third uncle Zeng Fanmeng, who had always been more slippery, stopped doing it, and suddenly remembered and said: "Hey, hey, this thing is a little wrong! Our four families have finished paying the money, so how can the eldest and second brother be counted? They don't have a penny?"
"Zeng Fanmeng, don't talk about that! You don't want you to pay for the 1,000 yuan, I'll come out!" The eldest uncle, Zeng Fanshu, glanced at the third uncle who loved to play tricks.
"That's it, Zeng Fanmeng, is it only you who support Bo'er? Bo'er, the second uncle will also give you a thousand!" Since the previous brothers and sisters all expressed their attitudes, the second uncle Zeng Fanyou couldn't sit still and began to express his position. The second aunt kept giving the second uncle a look, and when she saw that her husband finally couldn't hold back, she sighed a little unwillingly.
Since some people have gossip, the eldest brother and the second brother will also give a thousand! It's not always a bad thing to have a good budget. And I just heard that your budget has not taken into account the cost of applying for a business license, tax registration certificate and health permit. With these two thousand, it's about the same. β
In the end, Zhang Zhiping, the sister-in-law of the village head, made a final summary.
