Chapter 206: Brothers Settle Scores Openly

ly against Jia Yin's hand, asking for food.Jia Yin secretly picked a fruit from the space and fed it to Xiao Hong Ma. The happy little red horse flipped its lips and ate it quickly.The lord went to ta...Jiayin, hearing about the money division, immediately snuggled up to grandma's shoulder, her big eyes wide with wonder. This made the old woman chuckle. She hugged Jiayin and kissed her a few times before saying...

"I'll leave this shop to Lao San, Yu Ru, and Jia Huan to manage. Jia Huan has also learned a lot from Hong Ying and is capable of being head chef now. As for what to sell, you guys figure it out yourselves when you have some free time. I don't care."

But afterwards, Lao San's family would also earn work points at the shop. Lao San and Yu Ru would each get seven work points, and Jia Huan eight. At the end of the year, your share of the work points would depend on how many you earned, but the wages would come from the shop's capital.

The old woman couldn't read, but her mind was sharp. She kept a clear account in her heart.

“The shop’s dividends are calculated as follows: Fu Niua receives thirty taels. However, since she doesn't work, after the principal is recovered, she only gets 20% of the dividend. The remaining 10% goes to Lao Sanjia as a reward, and the final 70% goes to the public treasury. You are all grown up now and have your own families. You can't let yourself be without even a little money in hand. From now on, half of everyone’s wages will be handed over to the family, and the other half will be kept by yourselves.”

Jīa'ān Jiāxǐ immediately cried out, "Nanny, are we the same Can we stay too"

Of course, you are all grown-ups. Since you can earn money, you can spend it yourselves.

Li Laotai's grandson ate a tranquilizer, and the two boys were so happy they almost rolled on the ground.

Zhao Yuru and Tao Hongying each pulled their son, coaxing him, "You're still too young. Why do you want money Your mother will save it for you. You can use it when you get married!"

This is simply a lie that any old woman in the world can tell, and it's always effective. At that time, when things were going well for both their families, they became discouraged.

Jiayin was afraid that her silver would also fall victim to her grandmother's "toxic hands," so she clung even tighter to her grandmother's neck.

The old lady patted her beloved granddaughter's back and, without hesitation, made a decision for her granddaughter. "You guys deal with the boy; I won't interfere. But Fu Niu's earnings belong to her. Don't stop her from spending them. You all know this child is different, and our family has benefited greatly from her. "

Tao Hong's face flushed red, and she quickly said, "Mother, please rest assured, I promise not to ask Fu Niu for money."

Jia Yin immediately became happy, running over with little legs, hugging her mother's neck and rubbing her face against her shoulder. "Mama is the best, I love you most!"

Tao Hongying burst into laughter and swatted the little girl's bottom playfully. "Little money grubber, don't think you can fool me! I'm your loving mother, am I not Humph, if I wanted to steal silver, wouldn't you admit I was your mother"

"No, no, Mama good, filial daughter, raise old Mama!" Funiu smiled, showing a mouthful of small teeth, and poured honey into her mother's mouth big gulp by big gulp.

"Humph, don't give me that! How many times have you said that I bet you'll need a big yard to accommodate all the people who come to live with you when you get old." Tao Hongying pretended to be annoyed and teased her little daughter.

Jia Yin once again brandished her gold bangles, the hallmark of a wealthy woman, and declared, "Make money, build a big house!"

Everyone was amused and laughed, Li Laotai even took back her granddaughter, spoiling her like a precious treasure.

From now on, you are not allowed to say that our Fuk Niao likes silver. Our Fuk Niao earns silver to support her elders in their old age. There is no more filial child than our Fuk Niao in this world!

After some laughter and joking, the matter of opening a shop in Los Angeles was settled.

Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru didn't have much to do with it, but Jia Huan was overjoyed. He had finally graduated and could stand on his own now.

The most agonizing thing was that Jiaxi wanted to go with them, but he was reluctant to leave his home. He didn't want to part with the peace and quiet of his family, the courtyard, the hot spring valley, or the melon patch that was about to ripen...

Everyone else was too busy to care about his predicament. Even Zhao Yuru, the mother, didn't seem to mind her son's situation. Instead, she preferred keeping her youngest son at home.

First, because all the children grew up together in the house, it didn't matter which room they were in. She wouldn't have to worry about her son not eating well or being poorly dressed if she wasn't home. Second, she wasn't familiar with Luo'an town and was afraid that the children might get into trouble if they went there.

Li Laotai instructed Li Laoer to take a pen and paper, writing down how to raise the capital, how the profits would be distributed afterward, and the wages of Lao San's family, all clearly stated.

Finally, the mother and her three children all wrote their names and pressed their fingerprints.

Actually, Li Lao'er and Lao San Lao Si all felt it wasn't necessary to make such a fuss. As brothers, their bond was strong, and they wouldn't quarrel and turn against each other over a single shop. However, Li Laotai insisted on it.

A close brother should settle accounts, as the children at home grow up slowly, each household should also save some family wealth for themselves.

As a mother, the most important thing she should do is to treat everyone equally.

From now on, no matter what the sons are unhappy about, with this paper, they can divide right from wrong.

Thus, the matter of opening a shop is set in stone.

Tao Hongying pulled Zhao Yuru and Jiahuan along, excitedly brainstorming what to sell in their shop.

Lo'an town itself didn't have many residents, so all the businesses catered to the students at the academy.

It is said that the Luo'an Academy is good in every way, except for the kitchen. The food is simple and just average in taste.

Fortunately, the academy allowed students to go out for meals, walks, and shopping both at noon and in the evening.

This is also the reason why the commercial street is right in front of the college gate!

When it comes to dishes that can be varied at will and are never tiring, dumplings are undoubtedly the best choice.

The filling can be matched at will, the cooked water is moist and refreshing, the steamed keeps the original flavor of the filling, and it can also be paired with rice porridge and small stir-fried dishes.

The main advantage is convenience, no wasted effort, you eat and leave, it takes only fifteen minutes, perfect for students who come out for lunch at noon.

As for dinner, steamed rice and buns, stir-fried a few dishes, like mountain valleys paired with set meals is best.

For a small price, you can enjoy several dishes.

If you have silver in hand, you can order more dishes. Feel free to enjoy a lively meal with your companions or savor it at your own pace.

Wait a bit longer for it to heat up, you can also add some cold noodles. In wintertime, you could swap it out for claypot scallion pancakes or a small hot pot.

In general, the good thing about a small snack shop is that its cost is not high and it's convenient to change products at any time.

The kitchen was bustling with activity, the air thick with delicious aromas. All sorts of dumplings were brought out for everyone to taste and give their opinions.

The old woman sat in the main hall, lighting an oil lamp to do needlework.

Jia Yin ran back and forth, taking a look at the excitement sometimes, and keeping company with grandma other times. Finally, her little belly was round after eating, and she was tired.

The old woman put down her needles and thread, took her granddaughter into the room to sleep.

Seeing her granddaughter sleeping like a little piglet, with her round, white cheeks puffed out, she truly loved her dearly.

She reached out to cover her granddaughter with a thin blanket, but as she lowered it, six silver ingots, each weighing five taels, were revealed. She was startled and quickly pulled them back in.

She gently kissed her granddaughter's forehead, feeling a surge of contentment. She thought about getting started on the fabric and making summer shirts for Uncle Zhao and the others as soon as possible.

If they couldn't get out of the house, they would ask the women in the village for help. Giving money might seem like hurting feelings, so they would offer a few salted duck eggs instead.

After her granddaughter learned to walk, she often ran to the kitchen. The jars of salted eggs and baskets of chicken eggs were never empty.

The little girl thought she was being clever, but in this house, there wasn't a single blade of grass that could escape her watchful eye as the head of the household.idservants were about the same age as her.She has a loving family, but these two maids rely on each other for support, serving as slaves.She thought for a moment, then said to the maid in green, "Your...
