Chapter 804 - 803: Shouldn’t They Leave Some Soup for Us to Drink?
Lady Jiang and Liu Xiaoqiao exchanged a glance.
Liu Xiaoqiao said nonchalantly, "So what? Our sister has the talent, and that’s something you can’t be envious about! Unlike us, who haven’t seen much of the world, we honestly just do some work to earn a bit of pocket money, and we have to thank our sister for that!"
Lady Lin said unwillingly, "What do you all know? I’ve done the calculations for our younger sister. Not to mention the profits from the dye business, but just from the new tea leaf business, I estimate she makes a pure income of a few hundred taels of silver a year! Silver!"
Lady Jiang said softly, "But this is what our sister deserves. We don’t have the talent, so we shouldn’t daydream!"
Lady Lin was frustrated by her two sisters-in-law’s lack of understanding, and said, "Who do you think I’m doing this for? For all of our families, of course! I’ve got it all figured out. Those tea leaves were discovered by our Jinpan, and we used silver to buy back the sugar. Based on merit, our Jinpan deserves the best, doesn’t he?"
"But no, Jinpan’s aunt has been back for several days, and never even mentioned it! That’s just unreasonable! I’m not that greedy, I’m not saying the whole few hundred taels should go to our Jinpan, but if she eats meat, she should at least leave some soup for us, right?"
"And what about Fourth Brother’s family? Are you all fools? Fourth Brother went with them this time, he may not have done much, but he worked hard! Yet our younger sister is stingy with us but generous with those outsiders from Yingzi Gully! How are we supposed to feel as elder siblings?"
"I’m not saying we should get dozens to hundreds of taels to spend each year, but surely since the tea business is profitable, we should get some benefit too, right? They say girls marry out, but she shouldn’t give the good stuff to people who aren’t even related to us! Shouldn’t our own family get to enjoy some of the good fortune too? Don’t you think that’s reasonable?"
Lady Lin heard that her younger sister-in-law had teamed up with Boss Zhang to do the tea business, and she only had to take ten percent of the profits without any worries, and her eyes went red with envy.
