"And what's more! I'm not afraid to tell you that even..."
When Shen Feng said this, he reached out his hand towards Old Lady Zhu and Mrs. Shen, motioning for the two of them to come closer. When the two got closer, he whispered two sentences that only the three of them could hear.
"Really?" Almost as soon as Shen Feng finished speaking, Mrs. Shen looked at him with bright eyes and asked.
Shen Feng slapped his chest and said, "It's absolutely true. Sister, just think about it. When have I ever lied to you?"
Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Feng's confident look and didn't directly strike him down. "I naturally believe you, but I'm worried..."
"Worried? Sister, I've explained it so clearly to you. What else are you worried about?" Shen Feng said impatiently. "If you don't trust others, don't you even trust your own brother?"
"Sigh! Brother, I don't mean that. I just... I'm a bit shocked to hear this news all of a sudden. I really don't mean anything else!"
"Mother, don't you believe what I just said either?"
Old Lady Zhu nodded without any hesitation. Then, seeing the displeasure on Shen Feng's face, she added, "I'm just still a bit skeptical about this matter!"
After hearing this, the displeasure on Shen Feng's face became even more obvious. Regardless of his image, he stepped his right leg onto the chair under his butt. "Fine. Since you don't believe me, I'll go find someone else to do this business with! As long as I tell those rich merchants what I just said outside, a whole bunch of people will immediately surround me and want to do business with me. I came to ask the family first because I think of the family whenever there's a good opportunity!"
"As a result!" Shen Feng said as he shook his head disappointedly. "My closest relatives don't believe me at all. One moment they treat me like a fool, worried that I'll be deceived. The next moment, they treat me like a liar and guard against me everywhere!"
"Forget it! I'll just find someone else to cooperate with!" As he said this, Shen Feng had already stood up and lifted his feet to walk outside.
"Hey, sir, don't go!" At this moment, Mrs. Liang, who had been sitting there pretending to be a transparent person, suddenly stood up and grabbed Shen Feng's hand.
"Mother, sister, my husband is, after all, a member of our family. Don't you trust him at all?" Mrs. Liang tightly held onto Shen Feng with one hand, as if to prevent him from leaving again. On the other hand, she stood face - to - face with Old Lady Zhu and accused her.
"Mother, sir is your own son. You've raised him since he was a child. You should know his character best. Has sir ever done anything to let the family down in all these years?"
"Sit down, all of you!" Old Lady Zhu knocked on her walking stick and said with an unhappy expression.
Hearing this, Shen Feng broke free from Mrs. Liang's hand and returned to his original seat.
Seeing this, Mrs. Liang also sat down on her chair. After sitting down, she didn't forget to give Shen Feng a proud look.
"What Feng'er said today is of great importance. I can't make a decision now. After Feng'er's father returns to the mansion, we'll discuss it and then decide whether to invest or not!" Old Lady Zhu held her walking stick and stared straight at the ground.
Shen Feng was a bit happy in his heart, but he still couldn't help but urge, "Mother, you and father should make a decision early. You should know that for every day of delay, it's thousands of taels of silver!"
"Got it!"
"Brother, how much silver do we need to invest in this business you mentioned?" Mrs. Shen was now a bit interested and asked Shen Feng.
"Sister, so you're interested too? Do you want to join in too?"
"Tell me first. I'll think about it!" Mrs. Shen didn't directly agree.
In a short while, Shen Feng quickly did some calculations in his mind. Then he quickly raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "Boss Du has a big business and is involved in a wide range of things. He often travels for business from north to south, from the Dongling Kingdom to the Xiyue Kingdom. Naturally, he won't look down on a small investment."
"Well, this business is the same. The goods he transported this time weigh tens of thousands of jin. Just the cost is two or three hundred thousand taels. After selling these goods, not only can the cost be recovered, but it's no problem to earn another four or five hundred thousand taels of silver. So, the investment amount here is also quite large. The starting point is fifty thousand taels."
"After that, it's increased by ten thousand taels each time! The upper limit is one hundred thousand taels!"
Almost as soon as Shen Feng finished speaking, Mrs. Shen exclaimed, "Fifty thousand taels. That's so much?"
"Sister, is fifty thousand taels a lot? Just think about it. In half a month or so, you can get back more than a hundred thousand taels of silver!" Shen Feng said to Mrs. Shen with a bit of contempt.
"Of course, I have a good relationship with Boss Du. That fifty - thousand - tael silver is the price for outsiders. If our family members want to participate, they only need to pay at least thirty thousand taels of silver!"
After Shen Feng finished speaking, he proudly waved his folding fan. "How about it? These preferential treatments are all given by Boss Du because of my face. For others, they can't even dream of having such benefits."
Mrs. Shen didn't listen to Shen Feng's proud words at all. She was quickly calculating in her mind how much silver she could get back if she invested thirty thousand taels.
"Okay, I'll invest!" Mrs. Shen thought of Shen Miao's future and gritted her teeth and directly made a decision.
Hearing this, Shen Feng's eyes lit up, and he even stopped waving his folding fan. "Sister, how much silver are you going to invest?"
Mrs. Shen stretched out three fingers of her right hand. "Thirty thousand taels!"
"Great! My sister is really bold. She decides to invest thirty thousand taels right away! Don't worry. I guarantee that within a month, I'll get back six or seventy thousand taels of silver and hand it over to you."
Shen Feng slapped his chest to guarantee.
Hearing this, Mrs. Shen nodded, but still instructed on her lips, "Brother, this thirty - thousand - tael silver is the money I've prepared for Miao'er's dowry. You have to watch it well! If there's even a single coin less in the end, it will ruin Miao'er's future. She's going to marry the Fourth Prince in the future!"
"Sister, you don't need to say that. Of course, I, as her uncle, will take good care of my niece's dowry! You can rest assured one hundred and twenty percent!"
"Sister, you go back and tell Miao'er that after her uncle makes money this time, I'll personally give her ten thousand taels of silver for her dowry!"
Shen Feng was in a good mood at this moment. Before he even earned the silver, he boasted. No matter how much Mrs. Liang winked at him, he pretended not to see it.
