After dinner, Boss Ye walked out of the room and waved towards the west room, saying, "Changrui, come here. I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter?" Ye Changrui was about to take his younger brothers to do the homework assigned by the private school teacher. Upon hearing this, he put down his schoolbag and came out.
Boss Ye pulled out the paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and handed it to Ye Changrui, saying, "Can you help me take a look at what's written on it?"
There are many words on the paper, big and small, horizontally and vertically.
There are also many colorful seals on it.
Ye Changrui studied it for a while, then read the words in the middle: "I am depositing two hundred and two taels and four cents of silver... Hmm..."
Before he could finish reading, Boss Ye covered his mouth with his hand.
Boss Ye took the paper back from him and sent him away, saying, "Got it, go do your homework!
"Don't tell anyone about this. I'll buy you something delicious later."
After sending Ye Changrui away, Ye Lao Da walked into the house with a sullen face, grabbed Ye Lao San by the back of his neck, and dragged him directly into his own house.
"Pah!" Boss Ye slammed the paper onto the table. "Tell me the truth, kid. What's going on?
"Where did you get so much money? Why do you say it's Qingtian's dowry?"
Seeing that his eldest brother had slammed the table, Ye Lao San didn't dare to keep him in suspense any longer and quickly confessed everything: "Brother, you know, the reason why I can follow Young Master Qin to do this building block business is all thanks to Qingtian..."
When Ye Lao Da heard this, his first reaction was not that he could make so much money by making building blocks, but he interrupted Ye Lao San and said, "Even if it was because of Qing Tian that you were able to connect with her in the first place, why don't you just buy her something delicious?
"She's just a little kid, what does she know? She just thinks the toys are fun. How can we give her so much money?"
When Ye Lao San heard that his elder brother had misunderstood, he hurriedly explained, "Brother, don't be anxious, listen to me.
“This money was not actually given to Qingtian by me.
“When Young Master Qin first proposed collaborating with me to sell building blocks, he made it clear that he and I would split the profits 20% to 80%.
“People want that 20% profit not to make money, but to share it with those who help and do the work.
"But think about it, brother. They give advice, provide food and lodging, and even take out the building blocks to help with promotional activities. What are they?
“So it was Young Master Qin’s idea to give Qingtian this dividend.
"Didn't you see that when I arrived at the bank today, someone immediately came up to talk to me and took me to the back?
"This is what Young Master Qin ordered a long time ago.
"Even if this money doesn't exist in Qingtian's name, it won't fall into my hands."
"This..." Boss Ye felt a little dizzy due to the huge amount of information.
"Why would Young Master Qin ask you to save so much money for Qingtian?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lao San murmured and speculated, "Brother, I always feel that Young Master Qin might not be able to hold the money in his own hands, so he found an excuse to deposit it under Qingtian's name.
"Anyway, we are not short of money now, so we will not touch this money.
"Just keep the deposit slip and pretend the money doesn't exist."
When Boss Ye heard this, it seemed to make some sense.
"Of course I won't touch this money. How can I take so much money from others for no reason?
"But what you said just now does make some sense. Let's put it aside for now and return it to Young Master Qin when we have the chance."
Seeing that Ye Lao Da had accepted the deposit slip, Ye Lao San heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Qingtian made me earn so much money this time. You just said that you wanted me to buy something for Qingtian.
"When I buy something for my child later, you can't stop him from accepting it!"
"What do you want to buy? Just some food.
"She loves eating sugar melons lately. Just go to the village grocery store and buy some for her."
"What I want to buy is my business, don't worry about it!"
After saying this, Ye Laosan quickly slipped away. He already had a plan in mind, but he had to go back and discuss it with his wife before making a decision.
As soon as Ye Laosan reached the door of his house, he was pulled into the house by Ye San's wife and the door was slammed shut.
"Oh, my lady, why are you so anxious!" Ye Laosan knew what his wife wanted to ask anxiously, but he deliberately misinterpreted it.
Mrs. Ye didn't react at first and asked anxiously, "How much money did you make from making building blocks this time?"
After she asked, she saw Ye Laosan sitting on the edge of the kang, leaning against the pile of quilts and looking at her. Only then did she realize what he meant by what he had just said.
"What nonsense are you thinking!" Mrs. Ye rolled her eyes at him and stretched out her hand, saying, "Hand over your wages now. If I'm in a good mood, I might consider leaving you some pocket money!"
Ye Lao San was afraid that he would make his wife anxious, so he quickly took out the silver bills from his pocket and put them in Ye San's wife's hand, and then took off the purse from his waist and handed it to her.
"I exchanged all the money for banknotes, and the remaining loose change is all here."
Ye Laosan took 80% of the profit for himself, gave 10% to Wang Ge, and saved 40% to Qingtian. In the end, he was left with 30%, a total of 151 taels and 8 cents.
He exchanged one hundred and fifty taels for silver notes and put the remaining one tael and eight cents in his purse.
Mrs. Ye San didn't care about the loose change in her purse and went to count the banknotes first.
Although I couldn't read, the amounts on the silver notes were generally five taels, ten taels, twenty taels, and fifty taels. The colors and seals on the different amounts were different, so even if I couldn't read, as long as I remembered these, I could still tell the amounts on the silver notes.
But the most that Mrs. Ye had ever seen was a fifty-liang silver note.
When he unfolded the first note and found that it was fifty taels, he was ecstatic. Looking at Ye Lao San's face, he felt that it was much more pleasing to the eye than usual.
