Chapter 235 That Little Bit of Money

Wang Chuanman had almost forgotten that there was still one agreement that his family hadn't fulfilled, which was that he was to go and work as a manager at Manager Zhou's house.

This was the reward that Old Mrs. Wang received after saving Manager Zhou. In fact, from another perspective, it was also a signal that Manager Zhou wanted to maintain relations with their family.

There are differences between merchants. A merchant is someone who earns one hundred taels of silver a month, and someone who earns ten thousand taels of silver is also a merchant.

Manager Zhou was the latter.

When a merchant's wealth accumulates to a certain level, he will start to look for other ways out. Even if he doesn't take the imperial examination, having more connections and building more good relationships can be considered as a backup plan for him.

Now the family's life has improved, especially after Wang Chuanman found Wang Aibao and learned that the family had several thousand taels of silver as a reserve, as well as a pile of antiques.

Wang Chuanman's heart began to waver.

Seeing his third brother doing business, he was also eager to try it himself. He wondered if he should give him a few dozen taels of silver and let him try starting his own business.

Even if they don't do other business, it would be good to open a branch of Wang's Steamed Bun Shop in another place.

It's much more profitable than toiling in the fields.

After he shared his thoughts, he was severely beaten by Old Mrs. Wang.

"You really dare to dream!" Old Mrs. Wang chased after Wang Chuanman, carrying a cane and cursing all the while. "I tried everything to prevent you from becoming merchants, but you just want our family to be registered as merchants!"

Wang Chuanman didn't dare to run too fast, lest he hurt his mother's back.

But he didn't dare stop, because his mother's beatings really hurt; she hit hard.

"Mother, I was just saying, I was just saying, please don't take it seriously!" Wang Chuanman pleaded repeatedly, "I know I was wrong, please don't chase after me!"

Old Mrs. Wang couldn't catch up with Wang Chuanman, so she slammed her cane on the ground and yelled, "Old man!"

"Hey!" Old Wang chimed in from the side, "Fourth brother, stop right there! Look how tired your mother is. Let her give you a good beating to calm her down!"

Since his parents had spoken, Wang Chuanman had no choice but to stop and move closer to Old Mrs. Wang.

Grandma Wang hit him on the buttocks with a stick.

"Still want to go back to business?" Wang Chuanman shook his head, resisting the urge to rub his backside: "No, I don't want to anymore..."

His wife and daughter were watching, and he couldn't bear to lose face.

Grandma Wang hit her again with the stick.

"Mother, I already said I don't want to!" Wang Chuanman's eyes widened like copper bells, and he finally couldn't help but jump up.

It hurts so much!
Grandma Wang: "Did you just ignore what I said?"

Wang Chuanman was completely bewildered.

what?

What did you say just now?

Wang Erlang whispered a reminder: "Fourth Uncle, you're talking about what to do with the village's food."

Amidst the excruciating pain, Wang Chuanman suddenly understood what Old Mrs. Wang meant, as if struck by lightning.

"Mother, do you want me to transport all the grain in the village to Manager Zhou's place to sell?"

Grandma Wang gave him a look that said, "At least he's not hopeless."

Wang Chuanman: "...Isn't this still the business of being a businessman?"

"It's not the same as someone else selling things and being your own manager. Those are two different things!" Old Mrs. Wang instructed Wang Chuanman. "You must remember, once you're there, no matter what Manager Zhou says, you must do your job well and learn how to manage things. Don't think about how much money you make; the family doesn't care about your little bit of money!"

Now, not only Wang Chuanman, but everyone else in the Wang family looked at Old Madam Wang.

They remember that when they were in charge, their annual salary was 150 taels, right?

So it's still "point" money?

How much exactly? It's not a small amount of money for Old Mrs. Wang.
