After Xiao Fubao's Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital Chapter 152

Chapter 152 Big Business

Gu Mingda had a gloomy face and did not refuse on the spot. Instead, he raised his voice and said, "Did you know that your sister has a scar on her right hand?"

Zhang Huiniang was stunned when she heard this and said: "Brother-in-law, that was all so many years ago. Now my brother is in exile and my mother's whereabouts are unknown. I am the only relative in my sister's natal family. Let the past be bygones."

Gu Mingda shook his head and said: "There are some things that I can't get over. This scar was caused by your sister's stepmother, your mother."

"Our two families have been divorced for a long time. I am not afraid of the world saying that I hate the poor and love the rich, or that I am mean to my relatives. I only know a man who can't protect his wife, then his life is in vain."

"Then...my mother did all that, what does it have to do with me?" Zhang Huiniang felt aggrieved.

Gu Mingda said: "Your mother burned her because the man you fell in love with fell in love with your sister. Your mother originally aimed at your sister's face. She blocked her and the wound was Fall in hand."

"It has nothing to do with you. If you hadn't been the one to take the blame, how could your mother be so heartbroken and crazy like this?"

This was the first time Liu Xiaoru heard about this.

As soon as Zhang Huiniang appeared, she noticed that Niuniu had been hiding behind her in fear. She was already very unhappy with Zhang Huiniang, but now that she heard about it, her displeasure turned into deep hatred.

With one quick step, she picked up the broom and hit Zhang Huiniang hard.

"You have such a good sister, but you don't know how to cherish her!"

"Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix. Your mother is a black-hearted person, and you are not a good person either!"

"Your mother did such a thing, and you actually have the nerve to ask someone to pull you away, bah!"

"I am my sister's biological family! I will be a good sister who will always protect her!"

Zhang Huiniang was beaten so hard that she ran away. Seeing that she couldn't take advantage, she stopped pretending: "Mr. Jie Yuangong beat someone! Is there any other method? I want to sue the official!"

Liu Xiaoru also knew how to deal with her, and shouted: "It's sunny, come to other people's houses to cause trouble, come on, let's go to the Yamen and see how the county magistrate can deal with it!"

Zhang Huiniang just shouted, and she didn't dare to file a lawsuit. After all, based on Care Mingda's familiarity with the government, she would definitely be the unlucky one to get into the yamen.

Mrs. Gu still wanted to help, but Liu Xiaoru stopped her and whispered: "Auntie, I can't involve the Gu family if I do it alone."

Mrs. Gu did not dare to move forward for the sake of her son's future.

Liu Xiaoru took the broom and immediately transformed into the **** of war. She chased Zhang Huiniang's family all over the yard. Not only did she drive them out of the door, she also chased them for two miles with the broom.

When Zhang Yunniang saw the person leaving, she immediately gave Gu Yun a look, and Gu Yun quickly followed.

No matter how fiercely she holds the broom, Liu Xiaoru is just a weak woman. If Zhang Huiniang and his wife resist together, she may not be an opponent, and they won't be afraid if there is Gu Yun.

Zhang Yunniang looked at her husband with a guilty look on her face and asked, "Ms. sir, my sister is talking nonsense outside. Does it have any impact on you?"

Old Mrs. Gu was also listening with her ears pricked up. Gu Mingda passed the exam, and now the whole old Gu family is pointing at him.

Gu Mingda shook his head and said: "I'm just my sister-in-law. If your mother is still at home and she is an elder, she might say something inappropriate and it might really affect me."

After hearing this, Zhang Yuniang couldn't help but feel glad that her husband had won the election and the annoying elders were missing, so they wouldn't jump out and hinder her. Everything was just right.

When Liu Xiaoru came back with the broom, there was another person beside her.

Shopkeeper Luo walked up to the door with a bunch of brocade boxes and said in a loud voice: "Mr. Gu, if you stay away from bad relatives and villains, your life will be smooth sailing in the future."

He said this not only to the Gu family, but also to the people watching the excitement in front of the Gu family. In short, the fault in this matter lies with Zhang Huiniang, not the Gu family.

Shopkeeper Luo was welcomed in by the Gu family. "I heard from Shopkeeper Liu that the Gu family is going to Beijing in the near future. I took the liberty to come here today because I have a business to discuss." Shopkeeper Luo said with a smile.

The Gu family's braised food shop cannot open in Guang'an County now. The reason is because of the recipe.

The braised food is only sold for one day, so if it is sold out of town, there is a risk of the recipe being leaked.

If you only open it locally, the money you can earn is limited.

The Gu family is going to Beijing now, and Liu Xiaoru is also leaving together, so the braised food shop will no longer be opened.

In order to avoid the leakage of the formula, Shopkeeper Luo proposed that the Gu family set up a marinade workshop, grind the seasonings in the marinade packets into powder, and sell the prepared braised spice powder packets to the outside world.

In this way, the risk of exposure to the formula is greatly reduced, and braised food shops can be opened all over the country.

It's just that the Gu family today naturally does not have the ability to expand their business on such a large scale.

But the Luo family is different.

Shopkeeper Luo and Mr. Luo both had the surname Luo. They were not actually related at first, but Shopkeeper Luo's family has been a wealthy businessman for generations.

Shopkeeper Luo's great-grandfather saw that Mr. Luo, who had just been admitted as a scholar, was extraordinary, so he sponsored Mr. Luo all the way to Beijing to take the exam, and the two families were connected after high school.

The Luo family has always had the habit of subsidizing scholars. Now that Gu Mingda is not short of funding, shopkeeper Luo wants to do a good job with him.

The Gu family's braised food workshop provides braised food packages. The Luo family is responsible for opening braised food shops all over the country and earns profits, with the Gu family accounting for 20%.

This number seems low, but in fact all the costs of opening the shop are borne by the Luo family, which can be considered very conscientious.

Of course, if the Gu family doesn't believe it, they can also tell the number. The Luo family is willing to pay no less than ten thousand taels of silver to buy out the formula.

Businessmen pursue profits. From the Luo family's perspective, it is naturally more cost-effective to buy out the formula. The Luo family also thinks the same way.

But shopkeeper Luo hopes to connect with the Gu family by occupying shares.

He was optimistic about Gu Mingda's future and could not be like Mr. Luo, who rose to great heights after entering the capital.

"Ms. Gu, this matter is not urgent. Just think about it slowly." Shopkeeper Luo did not keep urging him, but after putting down the gift, he stood up and left in a measured manner.

As soon as they went out, Mrs. Gu hurriedly closed the door, grabbed Gu Mingda and asked, "Second brother, are you selling me? This is at least ten thousand taels of silver!"

Gu Mingda shook his head and said, "Mom, this shop is said to belong to me, but in fact it belongs to Niuniu, Yun Niang and Miss Liu. If we really have to decide where to go, it should be up to them."

The reason why the shop was named under Gu Mingda's name was also to facilitate management in various parts of the county. Gu Mingda only occasionally helped out with ideas and had no intention of coveting him.

Mrs. Gu looked slightly startled, and then suddenly realized that even though her son had won the election and his identity was different, he was still the same person. Others abandoned their wives and children when they became famous, but Gu Mingda still put his family first.

Mrs. Gu always understood that her son had big ideas. Since she said so, she swallowed the words "husband and wife are one body" and turned to ask Zhang Yunniang: "Yunniang, ten thousand taels of silver is a lot. What do you think?"

Zhang Yunniang looked at Liu Xiaoru and Niu Niu.

Liu Xiaoru said directly: "What Shopkeeper Luo wants to buy is a prescription, not a shop. If it has anything to do with me, my sister can just discuss it with Niuniu."

If the 10,000 taels of silver were really distributed according to the share of the braised food shop, Liu Xiaoru would be able to get 3,000 taels. No one here would have thought that she would not want so much silver even if she said she didn't want it.
