Chapter 237
237 Distribution among the Four Brothers
Wang Chuanman’s eyes lit up. “Mother, do you mean that I can keep my salary for myself?”
At this moment, Wang Chuanman had already thought about what he should use the 150 taels of silver for.
He would buy a shop or a small house and bring his wife over. He would also bring Little Ah Yu over. Then, he would go to a big restaurant to eat and spend the rest of the time behind closed doors.
This way, his mother won’t be able to hit him.
However, halfway through his sweet dream, he heard Old Madam Wang snort.
“Dream on!” Old Madam Wang’s eyes turned cold. “I don’t care what you do with the rest of the money, but you have to hand over 60% of your salary. This is our family’s rule. No one can break it.”
Old Madam Wang took the opportunity to wake everyone up again. “There’s no such thing as fairness in this world. I’ve never dared to say it before. If you have the ability to do it and do it well, feel free to come and try it on me.”
“Including the Chuanfu’s family. If you don’t want to stay in the village, I can arrange for someone else to do it. Even if all of you aren’t guarding the village, the land will definitely not be neglected!”
“For the crops planted in the fields this time, after deducting the cost and the family’s food, the rest will be calculated according to the rates of 60% as well. The remaining 40% will belong to the Chuanfu’s family.”
“It’s the same for Chuanyuan’s family. Since you’re running the bun shop. After deducting the various costs every month, the remaining 40% will be yours. Don’t be in a hurry to talk about anything else. If you incur losses, the family will compensate 60%. You’ll be responsible for the remaining 40%.”
Old Madam Wang looked at Chuangui’s family.
Madam Ma did not dare to look at Old Madam Wang at all and could only bump Wang Chuangui’s shoulder.
Wang Chuangui: “Mother, in a few days, I’ll go to the bookstore to take on the work of copying books. Coincidentally, there are a few books that I didn’t memorize very well. It’s fine if I copy them a few times and still earn money at the same time. At that time, I’ll pay 60% of the money to Mother.”
Old Madam Wang shook her head. “That’s not what I wanted to tell you.”
Wang Chuangui was confused.
On second thought, could it be because the other three brothers had already earned a lot of money? Only he was still engrossed in his studies. There was nothing he could do even if he wanted to earn money.
So, Mother wanted to subsidize him?
After all, she would not want to make him lose his composure.
Under Wang Chuangui’s touched gaze, Old Madam Wang said mercilessly, “In the first five years, you were paralyzed and the other brothers covered for you. There was no choice. In addition, you are brothers to begin with. It’s not good to fuss over too much. Let’s not talk about it.”
At this point, Old Madam Wang continued, “But later on, I let you study, and the family also spent a lot of money on you. 60% of this money is from the family, and you owe us the remaining 40%. If you become an official in the future, all your salary will be given to the family until the debt is paid.”
Wang Chuangui: “…”
No, the other brothers were allowed to save their money. Why was he still in debt to them?
Was it too late for him to quit studying now?
He also wanted to earn money.
Who did not like money?!
Even Wang Chuanfu could not stand it anymore. “Mother, Second Brother is studying hard for our family. He can’t earn money from studying. Even if he has to repay the family, there’s no need for him to repay us.”
Moreover, even if Chuangui did not think too much about it, how could his wife not think too much about it?
Old Madam Wang waved her hand. “This matter is settled. If you have any thoughts, come and tell me later. Today, we’ll talk about the crops in the village. Chuanman, go and pack up. Old man, go and tell the village chief that our family will collect all the excess crops in the village. When the time comes, we’ll transport it to Shopkeeper Zhou.”
