Chapter 116 Confrontation between father and daughter
"This dress is perfect for today, miss. There is nothing better than this."
"Yes, I prepared it specially, how could it be bad? Okay, let's go to Dad."
Fang Shiyan had never been as confident and calm as she was today. She felt that this was what she had always wanted, and she finally got it today.
"Dad, Mom, what happened?"
"Yan'er, tell your father what happened. Why were your brothers' shops sold, and those workshops?"
"Is that why, mother? It's nothing. I think my brothers are not qualified to participate in this election for the head of the family. They were deceived so easily. They still can't keep such a good position. So in order to recover our family's losses, I made a deal with them. I will participate in the election. I just gave up the positions of two counties. The best counties are still in my hands. My daughter is also doing this for the good of our family."
"If you really want to do good for our family, you can sell the shop, but you dare to sell the workshop as well. You are really too arrogant to do anything. You are so daring. You want Dad to help you and give up your brother, right?
Without those two workshops, if I didn't supply you with goods, do you think you could afford the shop they gave you? Don't think you can easily afford a shop with good business."
"So, Dad, I need you to help me. I know you have been partial to my sister for so long, but this election for the head of the family is related to the future development of our family.
What's more, my side is a rich county, with everything, supply, customer base, long-term orders, which one is not lacking. Isn't this a sure win? Why do you have to go far away and invest all your resources in a place where you don't know the future? Even if my sister has made some achievements now, so what? Now the rules have changed, how can you run the run-down cloth shop in Dashang County?
To put it another way, we can't put all our eggs in one basket. If my sister loses, we all lose.
Dad, I am also your daughter. Why can't you give me a chance? This time, I used my own strength to prove that I can do better than my brothers. I also helped my brothers reduce their losses by myself. "
"If you hadn't been involved in the conspiracy against your own brothers, I might have still trusted you and helped you. But you actually teamed up with others to ruin your own brother's shop, causing them to lose most of their raw materials. Is this how you help your own brother?
Now you have handed over my workshop that I have worked hard for many years to them, and then used the name of election to force me to give up my shop for your election. You really have a good plan.
I won’t help you.”
"Dad, if you really want to do this, my supply of goods will be cut off, and my customers will be eaten up by my uncle and his people. Our shop will only go bankrupt. Do you really want to do this?"
"Don't worry, I can take over the customers you can't eat myself, and it won't be anyone else's turn."
"Are you going to give up the Fang family's head office in Yu County? You worked so hard to build this head office, are you going to watch it fail like this? So many people in the entire Yu County buy their products at our head office. Do you really want it to fail like this?
There are so many guys there. Mrs. Xu just had a grandson last month, and she still relies on the wages from our shop to subsidize her family. And Uncle Liu has never gotten married because his father has to take medicine all the time and he can't stop taking the medicine. If our shop can't go on, how will their families support themselves? There are so many people like this in this shop who rely on them to support their families.
If the shop really can't continue, I have no choice but to clear them out, and all this is thanks to you, my father."
"Okay, okay, I underestimated you. I didn't expect Yan'er is so capable now and can use these to threaten your father. I really have a good daughter." Master Fang didn't know whether he should be glad or sad at this time. His daughter has become so capable that she can threaten him.
“Master, don’t be angry. Yan’er’s original intention was good. She just wanted to prove herself and wanted you to see her. Now you can see that she is also capable, at least not like her two brothers.
Although what she did was wrong, she just wanted us to see her too much. It's all my fault for not knowing what she was thinking earlier.
But now that things have come to this, if you don't help her, what will happen to our family and those guys? Master, you can't always be biased. Even if you help, you have to be fair and help both of them together."
"Okay, I'll help you. Since you've got the shop in Yu County, you have to do a good job for me. If you dare to make it lose money, you can forget about competing. All I can do is to provide you with all the sources of goods you want and new trade routes. You have to figure it out on your own."
Since you are so confident, there is no need for me to worry about you. Our workshop only accepts orders, don't worry about anything else."
"Good dad, as long as you can help me supply all the goods, you can rest assured about the customer source. I will not lose the original customer orders for you. You just need to provide the goods according to my requirements."
"Hmph." Mr. Fang didn't want to say another word to his daughter anymore, so he just turned around and left.
"Mom, you see, Dad only wants to help my eldest sister and doesn't want to care about me at all. If I hadn't been prepared, how could you help me? In the current situation, I obviously have the upper hand, but he still favors my eldest sister.
This matter concerns the allocation of resources in our family in the future, and I had to fight for it. My younger brothers were still too young and unsuitable. And I proved that I was more suitable than them, didn't I?
Mother, you will help me, and my grandparents, right?"
"You, what can I say to you?" Mrs. Fang now feels overwhelmed. Her children are fighting among themselves, and her daughter has directly cut off her sons' opportunities. Now she has no choice but to help.
"Mom, I just want Dad to know that I am more suitable than my elder sister. If my elder sister can compete for the position of head of the family, I can do the same. I just want you to see my ability. What have I done wrong?" Fang Shiyan said as she wiped away her tears.
"Okay, I didn't say anything to you, why are you crying? Now that things have come to this, how can I, as your mother, not help you?"
"I knew that mother would be able to help me. In fact, I have already investigated it clearly. As for increasing revenue, I have also thought about it. If I can ask my grandparents to introduce some merchants here, I can make more profits and expand to the surrounding towns as soon as possible. As long as I can successfully enter the markets of those nearby Xu families and increase the number of shops, even if the profit is lower, as long as I take my time, I will always be able to snatch some customers.
The Xu family is a bit down right now, so this is a good opportunity for us to make a move. Dad didn't open a shop there before because of our old friendship, but now is a critical moment for our family, so we have to make plans for ourselves."
"How do you know about the Xu family's situation?"
