Everyone looked at him in surprise, but Gan Mingyi said:
"And then there are our parents. They've worked hard all their lives, always thinking of us. If they're short of money, they'd be too embarrassed to ask us for more."
Besides, they're helping out at the restaurant now, doing a lot of work. I can't let them work for nothing. I'll give half of my share to my parents, so they'll have some money to spend.”
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Gan Mingli was about to speak when he suddenly stopped and looked at Zhao Shi.
Zhao noticed her husband's gaze. Although she knew what he was going to say, she felt no displeasure, but rather sweetness.
She glared at Gan Mingli reproachfully and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'd stop you from being filial to your parents?"
Upon hearing this, Gan Mingli chuckled, gave her a thumbs-up, and loudly praised, "I knew I'd married a good wife!"
Then he turned to his younger sister and said, "Mingyi is right, little sister, I'll also give half to Father and Mother."
Grandma Gan was both happy and touched upon hearing this: "How can that be? If we did that, wouldn't your father and I have more than you two?"
Old Man Gan also said, "It's good that you have this thought. Your mother and I don't have many expenses, why would we need so much?"
The two brothers, however, were very insistent.
Gan Li hadn't originally considered the Gan family elders, since with her around, she was sure they wouldn't lack money.
Now that her two older brothers have made this suggestion, she is happy and thinks it is a good idea.
Most elderly people who care about their children are indeed reluctant to accept money from them. Rather than repeatedly refusing, they would rather directly receive dividends.
She raised her hand to indicate, "Everyone, please stop arguing. I think Second Brother's idea is good and we can adopt it."
When Gan Mingyi saw that his younger sister also supported him, he was overjoyed and became even more determined to stick to his ideas.
The elderly couple from the Gan family couldn't persuade their children, no matter how much they pleaded, they only said that they didn't need that much, since they didn't have any expenses.
After discussion, everyone unanimously decided that Gan Li would take 50%, that would remain unchanged, the remaining 50% would be divided equally between the elderly Gan couple (10%) and the remaining 40% between the two brothers.
Saying it wasn't enough; Ganli suggested writing a document.
Gan Mingli thought this was too formal, but Gan Li said, "Even close brothers should keep clear accounts. If we agree on these things from the beginning, we won't have any disputes later."
After hearing what she said, the Gan family members stopped saying anything more.
As for writing the documents...
The sweet pear is still pretending to be illiterate, yet it's still sweet...
Seeing everyone staring at her, Gan Tian's face flushed red, and she stammered, "I've only learned the Three Character Classic, and I haven't even learned all the characters yet!"
Her embarrassed look was so cute that it made everyone burst into laughter.
Gan Li pulled her into his arms and rubbed her head:
"Then when you go to school tomorrow, see if you can ask Mr. Fu for help. It won't be a waste of his help. When you go to school tomorrow, bring Mr. Fu some braised pork."
"Yes!" Gan Tian nodded vigorously.
Mr. Fu is such a kind person; he certainly wouldn't refuse such a small favor.
After laughing, Old Man Gan composed himself and instructed Gan Tian:
“Sweet girl, remember to ask your teacher to add a clause at the end—after your grandmother and I pass away, this portion that belongs to us will be given to your mother.”
After saying that, he turned to his two sons: "Do you two agree?"
"Agreed!" the two Gan brothers said in unison.
Old Man Gan then turned to look at his daughter-in-law, Zhao, who quickly said, "This originally belonged to my sister-in-law; giving it to her is returning it to its rightful owner!"
Old Man Gan smiled with satisfaction.
Gan Li was somewhat surprised: "Father..."
Old Man Gan waved his hand to stop her from saying anything more: "Alright, your brother and sister-in-law have already agreed, so don't say anything more. Otherwise, we won't take this 10%."
Thinking of her parents, siblings, and other relatives in her past life who wished they could drain her of all her blood, and then looking at the elderly couple in the Gan family now... a warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she nodded without saying anything more.
Once the matter was settled, the family happily sat down... to count the money.
Because the food at the restaurant was inexpensive, even a very lavish meal would not cost more than three hundred coins. So today, he received mostly copper coins, mixed with some loose silver.
Fortunately, there were many of them, and they worked together to count the coins, and soon they had counted them all.
As for the loose silver, they were gathered into a pile, weighed, and finally added together—there were a total of twenty-nine taels of silver!
Ganli silently calculated the costs in her mind.
The labor is all done by family members, the side dishes are cheap, but the most expensive items are pork and seasonings.
The seasonings in the restaurant were all from Ganli's personal supermarket. Of course, to explain the origin of these seasonings, Ganli also bought some things to make seasonings, which cost some money.
Furthermore, the restaurants use pork from supermarkets. However, for such large-scale purchases, the meat must be bought from the local pork shops and then exchanged with the meat from the supermarket; otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the source.
So the biggest expense turned out to be pork and spices.
Based on this calculation, after deducting costs, they made a net profit of twenty-two taels today.
Compared to the hundreds of taels of silver that Ganli had seen in period dramas before, twenty-two taels was really not enough.
In reality, even though it is a prosperous time and people's lives are relatively better now, twenty-two taels of silver is still enough for a family of three to spend for a year.
Therefore, when the Gan family heard this number, everyone was overjoyed.
"Twenty-two taels a day, that's 660 taels a month, and 7920 taels a year!" Gan Mingyi's voice trembled slightly as he said the last number.
