Chapter 858: Chapter 827: Not Giving Up, Huo Yingjun’s Opinion

The family was very happy about the second branch opening a store together.

As for how many shares, no one cared much because everyone knew the second branch would not shortchange them.

But owning only twenty percent of the shares was too little.

With the mother-in-law right outside, and people from both houses present, if she started crying and complaining about too few shares now, Huo Zheqian, that fool, would slap her without anyone else needing to say a word.

"I really underestimated you." Song Chunli forced a smile, "You and your mother-in-law are truly cunning!"

"Not as much as the eldest sister-in-law." Jiang Lifang laughed, "To sign or not to sign, It’s up to you. Just decide within three days; otherwise, once the store is open, it will be too late for regrets."

"Hmph, I’ll think about it," Song Chunli said and stormed out, huffing.

Outside, although Song Chunli’s face showed some displeasure, she could not show it openly in front of everyone.

Old Madam Huo saw Song Chunli come out and said, "It’s getting late, time to go back home."

"Grandmother, let’s all have dinner before leaving," Huo Yingjie said, "We eat early anyway, in two more hours it should be fine."

"No need, one meal is enough; eating another would be celebrating a new house twice, I fear it would eat us out of house and home," Old Madam Huo joked, leading the Huo Family’s Main Wife’s family away inappropriately.

Once home, after her father-in-law and husband had gone to their rooms, Song Chunli finally sought her mother-in-law.

"Mother-in-law, have you looked at that contract that the second brother’s wife mentioned?" Song Chunli asked, her face somewhat anxious.

"Hmm," Old Madam Huo nodded, "I’ve seen it, what about it?"

"They’re giving us only twenty percent, it’s too little." Song Chunli said, "Mom, the second house is already so wealthy, won’t you help us?"

In this way, Jiang Lifang would become increasingly arrogant, and as the gaps widen over time, she would treat her with even less regard.

"Too little?" Old Madam Huo asked expressionlessly.

"Of course too little, if we earn a hundred dollars, we only get twenty," Song Chunli said. "We don’t need half, but at least forty percent is a must, we can’t be that much less than the second house."

Old Madam Huo stared blankly at Song Chunli and said, "What if they did not give you even ten percent, would that still be too little?"

"We are still one family, and with you and father here, the second house can’t be so ruthless." Song Chunli argued, always thinking about getting more from others without considering how much she herself should contribute.

"Heh, now you remember we are one family?" Old Madam Huo sneered, "Tell me, how much money are you planning to put in to ask for forty percent of the shares?"

Song Chunli’s face was not pleasant, she hesitated, said, "I have eighty thousand, and Huanhuan probably has around forty thousand!"

"Do you know how much one share costs?" Old Madam Huo asked again, "Speak up, I’m listening closely."

"It says the total investment is five million at the top, but there’s no way it’s that much; it must be something the second house made up, just so they wouldn’t have to give us more shares," Song Chunli argued, not believing He Tiantian could have that much money on hand.

However, it suddenly occurred to her that He Tiantian’s maternal family were wealthy capitalists abroad, with so much money, it could be possible.

"Tiantian wants to open several shops in Yanjing," said Old Madam Huo. "So much money might not even be enough, and with you being so greedy, if you irritate them, I won’t plead for you. By then, don’t talk about forty percent, you won’t have even ten percent."

"Mom, is it really not possible?" Song Chunli said, "We, the main wife, hold thirty percent, Mom, please help us."

"Haha, I am partial, and even with a thick face, I could only get this ten percent. But if I took the shares, my second son’s family would turn against me. Do you think I would do such a thing?" Old Madam Huo said, "Anyway, we don’t lack food or drink at home, and at our age, we won’t live many more years. However you want to stir things up, I can’t control. You should take care of yourself."

Old Madam Huo suppressed the anger in her heart, no longer wanting to continue talking with this person, who was simply a blockhead.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was unwilling to intervene, Song Chunli dared not approach her husband or father-in-law, so she turned to Zhao Huanhuan and Huo Yingjun.

"I’ve looked at the contract. Tiantian is only giving me ten percent and Huanhuan ten percent, which is too little. We don’t even have the right to manage, it’s not worth it," Song Chunli said. "Huanhuan, you have a good relationship with Tiantian, go talk to her, beg her. Yingjun, you talk to Yingjie, try to get more, we can’t be poor our whole lives!"

Zhao Huanhuan’s scalp tingled; she knew her mother-in-law would act like this.

If there was any chance, the grandmother would also help say a word.

But now, even the grandmother didn’t say anything, the mother-in-law turned to her, making her feel like she was sitting on pins.

Such thick-skinned tasks, Zhao Huanhuan simply couldn’t do.

They had previously agreed that forty thousand for ten percent share, she could accept, and thus sheagreed.

Not being involved in management was actually better; no need to worry, since her second uncle’s family wouldn’t cheat them.

He Tiantian not allowing the mother-in-law to be involved in management must be because she was guarding against her!

Compared to character, the people from the second wife’s side were indeed better than the mother-in-law.

Fortunately, her husband Huo Yingjun was by her side, so she didn’t have to face it alone. She just kept her head down, nursing her child, not speaking.

Huo Yingjun was very surprised, and took a few deep breaths before calming down, and said, "Mom, I think twenty percent of the shares is quite a lot."

That comment almost made Song Chunli pass out from anger!

"You wasteful brat," Song Chunli said, slapping her son on the head. "There’s a total of a hundred percent, and they give you twenty percent, and you are happy with that?"

"What’s there to be unhappy about?" Huo Yingjun said. "If they didn’t distribute one percent, we wouldn’t have anything. Originally, it is to support our family, our big house, for our good. But you complaining about it being too little, the second uncle, second aunt, and both younger siblings, must be very upset knowing this!"

"You ungrateful child, I’m doing all this for you guys," Song Chunli’s eyes reddened. Her mother-in-law didn’t understand, her man didn’t understand, her son also didn’t understand her, all her hard work was for what then!

Seeing his mother cry, Huo Yingjun also felt guilty; his words had upset his mother.

"Mom, if you really want more shares, you have the money and can open your own shop," Huo Yingjun said. "That way, wouldn’t you have a hundred percent of the shares?"

"Do you think I don’t want to do business?" Song Chunli said. "Your father wants to advance his career, so I can’t do business." "He Tiantian suddenly set up a shop with five million, we scramble just to gather a few tens of thousands, how can we compete later!"

"Mom, you can’t think like that. I have worked abroad, I know. The grandmother on my brother-in-law’s side, her overt assets alone are seven to eight hundred million US dollars, who knows how much more she has in private. My brother-in-law’s wife might not get those overseas properties, but fixed assets or money, definitely a lot, not less than two hundred million. Even if we did business for generations, we couldn’t catch up with them!" Huo Yingjun explained, hoping to convince his mother.
