(The female lead is purely a young child, and all her knowledge and understanding of the future come from that long dream.)
Six-year-old Yi Rongkun had a very, very long dream. In the dream, ...
Chapter 0072 He is willing to be a fool in front of his brother and sister-in-law (sharing the era life with the interstellar people)
Only then did Yi Ronghua and Yi Rongquan have the opportunity to greet their elders.
After a round of greetings, everyone sat down again and waited for Yi Zhongxiang and his wife to talk.
Yi Zhongxiang: "Brothers and sisters-in-law, I think you all know what I told you a few days ago about setting up a brick and tile factory?"
After hearing what he said, his brothers and sisters-in-law nodded at the same time to show that they understood.
"I've been thinking about it these past few days. Running a brick and tile factory is physically demanding. My children are young and have their own skills, so they're not suited to doing this kind of hard work."
His brothers and sisters-in-law all listened very attentively, and no one interrupted him.
"So I was thinking, this factory needs the brigade to take the lead in running it and decide who to recruit for the jobs. My family can request two spots, and the brigade can give the rest."
Yi Zhongxiang continued, "But this recipe belongs to us. We have to get dividends from the factory. We can't just hand it over to the brigade for nothing."
"This way, even if we don't have to work in the brick and tile factory, we can still have a stable income."
"When the dividends are collected, the five of us brothers will divide them among ourselves. What do you brothers and sisters-in-law think of this idea?"
"The recipe was given by your family, youngest brother. How can we have the nerve to share it?"
Fan Yadi was the first to speak out, "I'm just an old lady who's about to be buried. I don't have much to spend money on. What do you brothers think?"
"Sister-in-law is right."
Yi Zhongyuan continued, "Youngest, you're thinking about your brothers and sisters-in-law. We're already very touched. There's no need to share even this."
"That's what my eldest sister-in-law and second brother said."
Yi Zhongju also echoed this, saying, "We didn't contribute any effort and money. The recipe was provided by your family, the youngest. How can we take a share of the money from you?"
When Ou Guiying heard the three older ones express their opinions, she became so anxious that she kept pinching her man's soft flesh.
This is money. Who would be so stupid as not to make money?
Although the recipe belongs to the youngest family, they are so generous in giving it out, so it would be a waste not to make money from it.
The couple's little action did not escape the eyes of their brothers and sisters-in-law, but no one said anything.
Having lived in this family for decades, who wouldn't understand the character of this couple?
The fourth son is a smart and successful man, and his wife is also a picky and strong-willed woman who likes to take advantage of others.
As long as they don't overdo it, no one will bother them.
But today's situation was not something Ou Guiying could get as she wished by just making a little trouble.
Even Yi Zhongqi would not agree to his wife's unreasonable behavior.
Seeing that his eldest sister-in-law, second brother, and third brother had all expressed their opinions, he quickly continued, "I also agree with the opinions of my eldest sister-in-law, second brother, and third brother."
"Youngest, your family got the recipe on their own. Even if there are dividends, you really shouldn't share them with us."
"As long as you live a good life and think more about us brothers and sisters-in-law, we will be very satisfied and grateful."
"How dare you ask for more."
Ou Guiying was so angry when she heard her husband say this, but she didn't know how to say anything more, so she could only sulk with a gloomy face.
Yi Zhongxiang and his wife Liu Guoxiang exchanged a glance, and after receiving his wife's encouragement, he smiled and said, "I knew my brothers and sisters-in-law would say that."
"But have you ever thought about how much benefit we can get if we are the only ones negotiating with the brigade? Will they let us keep getting these benefits?"
After he said this, his brothers and sisters-in-law remained silent.
This is indeed a problem. If the youngest child is the only one left, what if the others in the group bully him?
"So, before we came up here, we had already discussed a solution with Guoxiang at home. Is it appropriate for you to tell me so that the brothers and sisters-in-law can listen to it?"
"Guo Xiang, the children, and I think this way. The recipe was indeed provided by my family, so it's only natural that my family should take the lion's share of the dividends."
"When the time comes, we'll divide the dividends we get into 100% each. My family will get 40%, and you four families will each get 15%. What do you think?"
"Of course, the brick and tile factory hasn't been established yet, so we'll have to wait and see how much the actual share will be."
Seeing her husband say this, Liu Guoxiang added, "Now we need the brothers and sisters-in-law to help discuss how many shares we should take when we hand this recipe over to the brigade."
[Wow, the Yi family's ancestors were so friendly and united.]
[Not every ancestor is so united and friendly. Didn't I witness a fight during the day?]
[It seems the system has a particular approach when choosing the families to broadcast live, and won't let us watch those messy family ethics dramas.]
The Yi family was unaware that their brothers' conversation had been broadcast live to the interstellar space.
After hearing the youngest couple explain the matter so clearly, the brothers looked at each other, and finally Yi Zhongyuan spoke.
"Youngest, we are very pleased and grateful that you thought of becoming your brothers and sisters-in-law when you had good things happen to you."
"But we really can't take so many benefits. How about this: your family keeps 20% and we can get 10%."
"Yeah, youngest, you gave us so much that it was too hot for us to handle."
Yi Zhongju took over his second brother's words and said, "Asking for a share of your family's dividends is too much for my third brother. Half of the success is enough."
"Your whole family can't use that much, let alone me."
Fan Yadi laughed, "Youngest, you guys think of me as your sister-in-law. You're already very satisfied with a few dollars a month. You really have no nerve to ask for so much."
"Yeah, youngest, you guys should take some back."
Seeing that his brothers and sisters-in-law had all made concessions, Yi Zhongqi also recited it by heart, "We took so much for nothing, and we really don't deserve your respect for us."
"There's no need to say more about this."
Yi Zhongxiang felt much more at ease after hearing what his brothers and sisters-in-law said. "We've already made our decision, and we won't change it."
As he spoke, he took out the contract that his daughter had brought out before dinner and handed it to each of his brothers and sisters-in-law: "Come on, come on, sign it."
"Once we sign, we brothers will be grasshoppers on the same fly. We can safely discuss how much dry stock we want from the brigade."
Seeing that she had even prepared the written agreement, her brothers and sisters-in-law were really amused and said, "You've prepared quite everything."
"That's it."
Yi Zhongxiang smiled proudly, "Giving dividends to my brothers and sisters-in-law is something the youngest is serious about."
"Sign it now."
He took out a pen and handed it to his brothers and sisters-in-law with a smile on his face, urging them, "Don't delay our family's big money-making business."
“You really are…”
Facing this youngest brother, Fan Yadi, Yi Zhongyuan, Yi Zhongju and Yi Zhongqi felt warm in their hearts and their voices were choked with sobs.
"How can there be a fool like you who is so eager to give away benefits?"
Yi Zhongju scolded, "I really don't know what to say to you."
"In front of my brothers and sisters-in-law, I, the youngest, am willing to be the fool."
If it weren't for the care of his brothers and sisters-in-law, Yi Zhongxiang would not have been able to grow up safely and study in a private school for several years.
However, he just kept these words in his heart and didn't say them out loud easily.
Liu Guoxiang watched all this with a smile, and noticed out of the corner of her eye that her fourth sister-in-law Ou Guiying was pulling her fourth brother again. She lowered her eyebrows slightly and pretended not to see it.
