Moreover, in the end, he blurted out a curse in frustration, "Damn it, is everyone in the Capital City laughing at me now? Theyâve got some nerve."
He was utterly stifled with indignation.
Is everyone just making fun of him?
Yangyang was also very upset when he heard this and said, "Are these people stupid? My brother is so young, and theyâre all so old, yet they laugh at him. Arenât they sick? If they have the guts, let them compare their kids with my brother!"
"Son, they donât know your brother is only a few years old," Yang Chuxia said.
"Oh, right!" Yangyang rubbed his face and finally seeing Leleâs face still green, he shouted, "Oh my, I canât take it anymore. Brother, honestly, I also want to laugh at you. To tell the truth, what you did is so dumb, wasting such a good brain."
Then, Lele looked at him awkwardly and finally said, "Iâve decided to cancel the plan to give you five hundred taels of pocket money!"
Yangyang, hearing this, dug at his ear, looked at Yang Chuxia, and asked, "Mom, did I just hear wrong? Did Brother say he was going to give me five hundred taels as pocket money?"
"You didnât hear wrong!" Yang Chuxia nodded.
Then Yangyang immediately hugged Lele, "Brother, I was wrong. I misspoke just now, I meant to laugh at myself. Look how stupid I am, I have a manor just like you, why didnât I think of mortgaging it to do business? You are truly so smart!"
Upon hearing this, Leleâs face turned even greener, "Ye Haoyang, canât you be less dumb? Why do you have to bring up what nobody wants to hear?"
Yangyang was stunned, rubbed his head and was utterly confused, "Did I say something wrong again?"
Yang Chuxia smirked, "Son, you can be even more of a clown if you try."
"Alright, donât be upset too. Itâs normal to make crucial mistakes in business. At your age, itâs the age where mistakes are allowed," Yang Chuxia motioned to Lele. "In the future, just be more thorough when making decisions."
Saying this, she took out a piece of paper, "Mom did a price adjustment for your furs today since I had some time, see if thereâs anything you donât understand?"
Lele took it and saw that each kind had two different prices.
Additionally, the prices for deer skin, sheep skin, fox fur, and mink fur differed, with rabbit skin being the cheapest, followed by sheep skin, then deer skin, and fox fur and mink fur were a level higher.
Among them were dozens of wolf skins and three tiger skins that were picked out separately, with the tiger skins being the most expensive.
"Mom, what does the line below with âgray rabbit skinâ mean?" Lele pointed to the bottom that marked a three.
"Gray rabbit is not as easy to sell as white rabbit. Moreover, some ten-plus pieces are flawed, so theyâre of the lowest grade. In this case, wait until the shop opens, put a table outside and sell them for three taels each. It could be seen as prestigious to buy one or two pieces as a dowry or betrothal gift for a commoner family during marriage events."
"Mom, these three tiger skins wonât be sold." Lele waved his hand, "Give one to Dad, one to Granduncle, and send one to Funan for Grandfather."
"Are you really not selling them? Can you bear it?" Yang Chuxia thought that one piece was worth over a thousand taels.
"I wonât sell them," Lele said, "These three were probably mixed in, I donât remember the supplier mentioning there were tiger skins in the batch. Luckily Mom told me to stop selling, or these three wouldâve been mixed in and sold at thirty taels each, that wouldâve made me cry. The people in the Capital City would laugh me to death."
