Chapter 284: Aunt Complains
Seeing there was an opportunity to borrow money, Si Xiaohui hurriedly said: "We’ll open a tea shop. I’ve learned how to make tea from my sister-in-law. I can make any type of tea. We’ll open a shop just like theirs, using their shop’s name. Each shop could earn more than a thousand yuan per month. If you lend us a few thousand yuan, we’ll be able to pay you back in just half a year."
When it came to borrowing money, Si Xiaohui was full of confidence, as if others owed her the money and it was their duty to lend it to her.
Si Weimin had no objections to lending money but expressed doubts about Si Xiaohui’s idea of starting a tea shop. "Have you consulted with your brother and sister-in-law about opening a tea shop? They have registered their shop as a brand. If you want to use their shop’s name, you need their permission, otherwise it would be a violation of their rights."
Although Si Weimin only studied for two years, he had learned a lot during his time in Kyoto and was familiar with these matters. Seeing that Si Xiaohui had no understanding of these issues but was eager to start a business; he couldn’t help but remind her.
"What do you mean by violation of rights?" Si Xiaohui responded dismissively: "They are my own brother and sister-in-law. I’m just using their shop’s name. I’m not stealing their customers. Would they even sue me?"
Si Weimin responded solemnly: "Just because they are your brother and sister-in-law, it doesn’t mean that you should do such things."
He sighed and added: "The investment in opening a tea shop is huge. A refrigerator alone costs over a thousand yuan. I advise you not to open a tea shop."
Si Xiaohui puckered her lips and said stiffly: "Uncle Si, are you afraid that I won’t be able to pay you back, so you don’t want to lend me the money?"
Si Weimin didn’t understand why Si Xiaohui didn’t ask Si Chen for help in opening a tea shop. However, if Si Chen was hesitant, then there must be a reason.
Moreover, as he pointed out, investing in a tea shop is substantial and Si Xiaohui has just moved to Beijing and has no savings. It’s indeed not suitable for her to start such a business.
