Chapter 664 Hearing about doing business, they came to cause trouble.

Xiao Zhou and others have explained to them that the matter is already settled and cannot be changed, but as soon as things begin, some people want to take this opportunity to get involved as well.

The matter escalated, and someone summoned the clan chief.

The clan chief was also getting angry. Looking at the people making a scene, his face darkened. "What are you all trying to do? You refused to lend me money back then. Some of you lent me money but were afraid they wouldn't be able to pay it back, so you asked for your money back as soon as possible. Now that you hear they're doing business, you want a piece of the pie. Is that even possible?"

"You get all the good things? How dare you make such a scene. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to cause trouble. You should maintain this relationship well. If the workshop opens up, you might need more people. Maybe one or two of your family members can work there and get paid."

"If we tear off all ties here today, we'll never have anything to do with each other again. I bet when our workshop stops hiring your people, you'll be worried."

"Everyone walks their own path. The fact that they're willing to follow Si Lang's family in doing this proves they're smart. You're only after immediate gains, afraid of everything. Are you no longer afraid now?"

Some people were unconvinced, but they were still somewhat intimidated by the clan chief and could only play the pitiful card, saying, "Clan chief, we don't have much money at home either. We didn't borrow any before because we only had enough money for our own use. This is completely different from doing business."

The clan chief immediately retorted, "Your family's meager savings are barely enough for your own use. What are you going to do with them? You insist on going into business. Business can also result in losses. We don't even know what the situation is now. You've already said that your family has no money. What will you say if you lose money in the future?"

The man subconsciously replied, "Didn't Ling Silang's family say that if they lost money in business, they would pay for it?"

"You're really trying to piss me off. Listen to what you're saying! You think you can share your profits with everyone, but when you lose money, you expect them to pay you back? With a mindset like that, you're useless at everything. Don't stand out here."

The clan chief spoke harshly, and everyone could tell he was unhappy. Some people immediately stopped talking, though there were always a few shameless ones.

“Clan leader, our family also lent money to Silang’s family before. It was only later that the women in our family were tricked into thinking they would pay interest, so they went to ask for the money back. That’s when I found out about it. Clan leader, you really can’t blame me for this.”

The clan chief nodded. “Yes, it’s not your fault, but who told you to marry such a good-for-nothing wife? So who can you blame? Whether you knew about what your wife did or not, you tacitly approved of it. It’s too late to say all this now, so don’t tell everyone here how stupid your wife is.”

"Chieftain, I really didn't know about this. It was definitely the women in my family who did it." The man was truly innocent this time. He didn't know anything at first. He had been working in town recently, and by the time he found out about what was happening in the village, it was too late.

He finished his work in town the day before yesterday and rested at home all day yesterday without leaving the house. He only heard about this when he went out today, and he was a little unhappy at the time.

Everyone borrowed the money together, so why did Silang's family invite everyone else but not his own? He angrily told his wife that he was going to ask about it, but his wife held him back and stammered for a long time without giving him a clear answer.

When he saw his wife like this, he knew something was wrong. After asking her carefully, he learned that this woman was incredibly bold and had actually asked for the money back long ago.

Also said...

She also said that she was afraid that Ling Silang's family would not have the money to repay the debt, and that her family would suffer a loss. So, while there was still interest to be earned, it would be good for her to get back as much as possible.

The clan chief saw something, but this kind of thing couldn't be started. If one person started it, there would be no way to appease the others. Besides, the documents had already been signed, and it was too late to say anything now.

"Whether you know about this or not, since your wife has stepped in, it means it's your family. If she takes the money, it proves that your family has no connection with this business."

The man's eyes reddened with anger, but he didn't say anything more. He knew that since the clan chief had said that, he definitely wouldn't agree.

There were all sorts of situations, but the clan chief insisted that it was not possible. Seeing that the clan chief was acting in a deterrent way, the others who had some ulterior motives did not dare to think too much and could only go home resentfully and regretfully.

The clan chief turned to look at the Ling family, "They've caused trouble once, so they won't come back again. You can rest assured and prepare. However... since this is a village business, if you need manpower, just let us know."

With Ling Sanlang absent, Liu Shi is now in charge of these matters, and Ling's father is merely a figurehead. Since there's no one else available, Ling's father said, "Clan leader, let the third son's wife talk to you."

"Oh?" The clan chief was quite surprised, but as a clan chief, he was naturally tolerant and did not look down on Liu because she was a woman.

"Chief, since we plan to open a workshop, we need to build one. It doesn't need to be too big for now, three rooms will be enough. The money will be contributed by everyone. We also need an accountant. Before each distribution of profits, the accountant should read the ledgers to everyone so that everyone can keep track of the figures."

The clan chief agreed with the idea, saying, "There isn't anyone in the village who knows how to keep accounts yet. We'll probably have to find someone from outside. The workshop needs manpower. Just pick someone from the village who you like and send them over. They'll be happy to do it if they can earn some money."

It was Liu's first time discussing matters with the village chief like this, so she was a little nervous. She glanced back at Du Mingxian, who gave her an encouraging look, before she continued.

"We need two people to keep accounts, one for each person, so we can check them later to avoid any problems. If the workshop grows bigger in the future, we can add more people."

"There's no need to find an accountant from outside. Back then, there were educated children in the village. Girls were more meticulous, so we just picked two people who were literate, talented, and whose families were reliable to keep the books."

“They don’t know how, but we can teach them how to memorize it. In any case, everyone can understand it.”

"Regarding the recruitment of workers for the workshop, we want to start by recruiting from families who haven't received any dividends. After all, we're all from the same village, and we can't afford to have too much of a wealth gap."

The clan chief looked at Liu and said bluntly, "This isn't something you came up with, is it?"

Liu was a little shy, "It was...it was my fourth sister-in-law who taught me."

"Very good." The clan chief admired Liu's courage and Du Mingxian's magnanimity.

Changsheng is truly blessed to have married such a wife to his son; it would be difficult for the family not to become wealthy.

Seeing that the clan chief had not spoken, Ling's father asked, "Clan chief, what do you think we should do about this?"

"Just do it your way. You were the ones who spearheaded this whole thing."
