All the heavens begin with the love in the courtyard.

The Han family seemed to have returned to peace, but at this moment, no one was in the mood to eat. After hurriedly finishing their meal, the eldest brother of the Han family spoke first.

"Wu Zi, you make so much money every day, you have to take good care of it!"

Han Chunming nodded in reply.

"Brother, I know. I deposit money in the bank every other day. This is legitimate income, so there's nothing to worry about!"

Boss Han nodded with a stern face, but the worry on his face was still there.

At this moment, Sister Han's face showed little worry; instead, she made no attempt to hide her joy. She was already calculating how much money she would get back from her two hundred yuan investment.

If you own half the shares, which is one-twentieth, and you earn 300 a day, then you can get 15 yuan.

Fifteen yuan a day, that's four hundred and fifty yuan a month!

Thinking of this number, Sister Han's heart pounded, and her cheeks flushed with excitement. Just now, Wu Zi had said that business would be even better in the future. At this moment, Sister Han felt restless and her mind was racing, making it impossible for her to think about anything else.

Among the older siblings, they were all thinking about the same thing, calculating how much money they would get. Only Han Erge had a bitter look on his face, his face dark and sour, his lips pursed. He would occasionally look at Han Chunming and then at his mother, clearly thinking about something, but he was too embarrassed to speak up.

Han Chunming knew exactly what his second brother was thinking, but he wasn't going to be the pushover. However, he knew his mother would definitely be the pushover.

Han Chunming yawned, then stood up and said.

"I'm going to take a shower and rest now. I haven't been getting enough rest these past few days!"

Everyone urged him to go and rest, their attitude much better than before. Sister Han even spoke with a fawning expression.

"Xiao Wu, let me go boil some water for you, it's still chilly!"

Han Chunming said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Big sister, it's still the middle of summer, I'll just take a cold shower!"

After Sister Han sat down, the siblings were speechless after Han Chunming left. For a moment, everyone was silent. Mother Han stood up to clear the dishes, and Sister Han quickly helped to do so.

Xiao Qiao didn't react much. She silently finished her meal and went back to her room to find Han Chunming a change of clothes. As for Qi Siqiao, she unconditionally trusted her husband. Before opening the soup shop, Han Chunming had told her that the soup shop would definitely make money.

Besides, Qi Siqiao has been by Master Huang's side for so many years, she has seen all kinds of things, and she is not an ordinary girl. Now she is just returning to a normal life.

Everyone was still immersed in the thought of becoming rich overnight. Sister Han hadn't said a word from beginning to end, and her face was flushed, clearly showing that she was also extremely excited.

She invested 400 yuan to take a share, which means she can get more than 30 yuan a day, and 1,000 yuan a month.

She has been working for eight years, but her salary is only a little over fifty yuan. This sudden increase in income makes her feel that happiness has come too suddenly, and she feels dizzy.

Among her older brothers and sisters, Han Erjie had the best relationship with Han Chunming since childhood, and she was also the most rational one.

So when Han Chunming opened his shop this time, she took out all her savings. She chose to believe in her younger brother. If Xiao Wu could get into a prestigious university without making a sound, then she also believed that Xiao Wu could open a shop and make money.

Although she trusted her younger brother, this reward came too quickly and suddenly, catching Han Erjie somewhat off guard.

The one who was most pained and regretful at this moment was naturally Han Erge. He wished he could slap himself. In fact, after working for so many years, he had saved up nearly a thousand yuan, all of which was in the bank, totaling eight hundred and sixty-four yuan.

But this money was his life savings for his wife. He regretted it so much that he was turning green with envy. Why didn't he spend four hundred yuan to buy one share? If all else failed, he could have bought half a share like his older sister and brother!

Now everyone is waiting to get their share of the money, but he can only watch them get theirs. Thinking of this, Brother Han felt like his heart was being torn apart, and even his breathing was filled with the painful taste of regret.

His face was full of conflict as he looked at his older brothers and sisters around him. He couldn't suppress the thoughts in his heart any longer, and while his mother was preparing to clear the dishes, he called out to her.

"Mom, Wu Zi is making so much money. Why don't you talk to him and ask me to invest in his shares too?"

Han Erge's words drew the attention of everyone at the table. Before Han's mother could even speak, his older brothers and sisters began to criticize him.

Brother Han was the first to reprimand.

"Little Four, what kind of dream are you having? When Little Five was short of money, we asked you to invest, but you refused to put any money in. Now that they're making money, you're thinking of investing. You want to invest? I'm thinking of investing too!"

Han Laoda's words resonated strongly with Han Dajie. She had just been thinking that it would have been great if she had invested an extra two hundred yuan.

But this was just wishful thinking. Now, hearing that his fourth brother was so shameless, even wanting his mother to talk to his fifth brother about investing, if this were to happen, would there ever be any peace in the family?

Everyone's still hoping to get more shares!

You wish!

So Sister Han chimed in with her rebuke.

"Little Four, you want to invest now, what are you going to make Little Five think? They worked so hard to earn money, and you were the one who said those strange things before, and now you're the one trying to take advantage. If you want to invest, go and say it yourself, don't make your mother your mouthpiece!"

Hearing his two older siblings speak of him like that, Han Erge was both ashamed and agitated, and retorted angrily.

"I'm saying, big brother and big sister, you've gotten the better deal. Now you're saying that if Wu Zi opens a shop and makes money, you guys can get a share of the profits, while I'm just watching?"

"I didn't contribute any money before, wasn't that due to special circumstances? How was I supposed to know Wu Zi's shop would make money? If it had lost money, would I still have gotten married?"

Han Lao Er's self-righteous words immediately angered his three older siblings, and everyone was ready to launch a joint attack. Just then, Han's mother, who had been silent until now, suddenly shouted at everyone.

"Is this even acceptable? The profit sharing hasn't even started yet, and you're already fighting amongst yourselves. Eldest brother, second brother, do you even act like older brothers and sisters? Fourth brother, you're clearly in the wrong, yet you're still so self-righteous. Who are you trying to fool? Do you really think I'm blind?"

Han's mother, who was usually good-tempered, was unusually angry at this moment. Han Chunming could hear his mother's scolding voice even in the middle of the courtyard. He was washing his hair, shook his head helplessly, and ignored her.

Although he couldn't hear very clearly, he could guess what was causing the noise inside.

In this world, there is no place without "profit." Where there is profit, there will be disputes, whether it is a small family or a country!

The world is bustling with activity, all for the sake of profit!

Seeing their mother get angry, the Han brothers and sisters immediately shut up. Han the Second didn't dare to say anything either, sitting at the table, sulking.

Soon, Han's mother sent everyone home, and the family dinner ended with some families rejoicing while one family was saddened.

When Han Erge was about to get up and leave, Han's mother kept him there.

After everyone left, Han's mother called him to her room. A few minutes later, Han's second brother came out with a complicated expression and his head down, and then turned and left as well.

Han Chunming washed himself and went back to his room to sleep. Han Chunming could guess that the reason his mother left his second brother in the room was that she had given half of the share he had left for her to his second brother.

Han's mother was that kind of mother; she couldn't possibly watch her four children be the only ones who didn't get a share of the money.

Even if Han Chunming knew, he wouldn't care. He lay down on the bed and fell asleep; he was just too tired.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he vaguely felt someone get into bed. Smelling the familiar scent, Han Chunming lazily pulled Xiao Qiao into his arms.

Feeling Xiao Qiao's firm and soft spot, Han Chunming subconsciously reacted, mainly because he hadn't had sex for two months, it was a purely natural bodily reaction.

Han Chunming didn't do anything, just held Xiao Qiao and continued to sleep in a daze. After a while, he suddenly felt a heat in a certain place, and he was immediately jolted awake. He looked down and saw that it was indeed the case. Immediately, a happy smile, the kind of smile only a man could have, appeared on his face.

The two sisters, Meng Xiaoxing and Meng Xiaozao, slept on a bed set up in the living room, separated from Han Chunming's bed by only one wall.

Fortunately, Han Chunming can't make any big moves in the next few months, otherwise the two sisters would definitely notice. This is also one of the reasons why Han Chunming wants to buy a big house. It's too inconvenient for the whole family to live together.

Meanwhile, in another place, Taozi had just finished showering and was lying in bed, his face flushed, muttering to himself.

Beside his bed, on a small table, were two empty bottles of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor). Yellow-skinned peanuts were scattered everywhere on the table, and peanut shells littered the floor beneath it, making the room a complete mess.

Although no alcohol was consumed at today's gathering, Taozi was too excited and really wanted to talk to someone, but at this moment, he had no one to confide in.

He could only buy two bottles of wine and a pound of peanuts, and drank them all by himself.

His face was flushed from drinking. Recalling the past few years, he had countless things to say and countless emotions to vent, but in the end, everything was in the alcohol.

He suddenly remembered that his life had changed completely since he met Han Chunming seven years ago.

Starting with Cai Xiaoli, for the first time, I had a driving force in life. After two years of hard study, I finally got into university and became the pride of my whole family.

After graduating from university, he got a job that seemed glamorous to outsiders, but was suddenly betrayed by Cai Xiaoli. In the end, he followed Han Chunming to open a shop in a daze, and now the shop has become a hit.

Now, as he is about to become a rich man, all sorts of past events come flooding back to him.

At this moment, his heart was surging with emotions, and the bitterness that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time was intertwined in his mind. His chest heaved violently, making him unable to control himself for a moment.

Fortunately, I met him, and it was all worth it. I'm finally going to succeed!

Taozi slowly drifted off to sleep, but the rise and fall of his chest showed that he was still not at peace. Unconsciously, a tear slid down his cheek.

The night is deep!

The moonlight outside the window quietly climbed into the sky. The moon was big and round, and the sky was full of stars. The brightest star twinkled...!

Chapter 43: The Emergence of a Competitor

When a shop is doing well and making money, it certainly brings joy to many people.

At least in the Han family, it can significantly improve their quality of life.

For the Han siblings, this was undoubtedly an opportunity to change their lives.

They are all small families, struggling to make ends meet.

Now that I have an income of several hundred yuan a month, I can not only improve my life, but also buy a house and make investments, which will allow my family to make a qualitative leap in the future.

Han Chunming, who made the lion's share of the profits, felt no joy at earning so much money. He didn't even care about that amount. The only thing he found was the feeling of being a busy person.

I'm busy at the store every day, and when I get home in the evening, I have dinner with my mom and wife. Watching my wife's belly grow bigger day by day, I feel so excited to become a father again, and I have so many feelings.

The business of the nourishing soup shop is indeed getting better day by day. Although there are many shortcomings, Han Chunming is slowly making improvements.

Since adding food delivery orders, Taozi has been busy with food delivery all day long, and the store is short-staffed again, so Han Chunming has to continue to recruit people.

Upon hearing the news of the recruitment, the eldest sister-in-law took the initiative and immediately put her younger brother in the job.

Originally, Han Chunming didn't want to hire these relatives and friends, but since his elder brother had spoken up for his brother-in-law, Han Chunming had no choice but to accept.

China is a society that values ​​personal relationships, and besides, he owns a small shop, so Han Chunming didn't want to be too inconsiderate.

This young man named Song Hongjiang is the same age as Meng Xiaozhao, and he just came of age this year. He is careless in his work, but he has learned to speak fluently and sweetly like an old Beijing native. He is very familiar with people and always calls them "brother" and "sister".

Han Chunming directly assigned this guy to deliver food orders; they were all locals and familiar with the area.

Taozi returned to the kitchen to wash dishes once again, and occasionally took over Han Chunming's soup-making duties.

Han Chunming wasn't idle either. As the reputation of his nourishing soup shop gradually grew, in less than half a month, many customers who came specifically for it stopped drinking the one-yuan signature soup.

The postpartum soup, starting at 8.8 yuan, and the Qi-nourishing and spirit-replenishing soup have once again become signature dishes, and some wealthy customers are also trying the more expensive soups.

Of course, the top-priced nourishing soup, which costs 88 yuan, has not been ordered since that one customer ordered it that day, which made Han Chunming a little disappointed.

Fortunately, every little bit helps. Now, Han Chunming makes seven or eight pots of that eight-yuan-and-eight-yuan nourishing soup every day, and occasionally he also encounters customers who want eighteen or twenty-eight yuan. This extra income is already making him very rich.

Those three signature nourishing soups, each costing one yuan, are still served in quantities of 300 bowls in the morning and 300 bowls in the afternoon every day, with no further increases.

There are two reasons why I don't cook it for another round. First, it's too tiring. Stirring for several hours in a row is really hard work.

The second reason is that many people couldn't buy the one-yuan nourishing soup and could only choose the more expensive eight-yuan-eight-yuan soup. That's how capital was played in later generations.

With Han Chunming's boasting, the nourishing soup brewed in that small pot tasted even better and was even more effective, which convinced some hesitant customers to part with it.
