Chapter 246: It is easy to invite a god, but difficult to send him away
Tian Caihua said firmly, "This is not good, let's split it in half! We agreed that in the future, our two families will go out to sea together, and we'll split the money we earn in half. Fourth brother was injured because of you, how can we do this?! It doesn't matter if fourth brother and his wife don't have time to go out to sea, everyone has times when they don't have time, and we won't be free in a few days! We agreed that we'll split it in half, so it doesn't matter if the other party is free to go out to sea or not. If they don't, they'll have a share of the boat, and it's only natural to split the money."
Tian Caixing just didn’t understand what was wrong with his sister today!
"You guys were only free for one or two days, how can that be compared to being free for a month?"
Zhou Chengxin smiled and said, "Big brother is right, Ah Hua, listen to big brother. It's settled! Big brother is doing this for our own good!"
Tian Caihua has always listened to her elder brother and sister-in-law. Keep listening! Tian Caihua: "..."
She has always really listened to her elder brother and his wife.
Because there are seven brothers and sisters in Tian Caihua's family.
Tian Caihua is the only daughter in the family. She has two older brothers and she is the third child with four younger brothers.
The matchmaker who introduced Tian Caihua to Zhou's mother said that Tian Caihua was very hardworking, took good care of her younger brother, was good-looking, and was filial.
At that time, there was no one in the whole village who did not praise Tian Caihua, praising her for being hardworking and capable, and for being filial and knowing how to help her parents with work and take care of her younger brother since she was a child!
Many people from the surrounding area proposed marriages to her.
After all, Tian Caihua is hardworking and capable, tall and good-looking. In addition, Tian's mother is fertile and most of her children are sons. This physique should be inherited by daughters, so many people propose marriages to Tian Caihua.
Zhou Chengxin wasn't the one with the best family background among the people proposed to him, but he was definitely the best looking.
Tian Caihua also took a liking to Zhou Chengxin at first sight because he was good-looking, tall and handsome.
As for family background, most families were poor at that time, and even considered poverty as an honor. As long as one had a good background, one was considered good. Moreover, the Zhou family lived by the sea and had seafood to eat every day, so their life was better than many people.
When she was a child, she was really hungry and had no meat to eat. She thought that she would be able to eat meat in the future, so she got married.
She glanced at Zhou Chengxin and decided that she had made the right choice in marrying this man. At least none of the men she had proposed marriage to before was as good as him now!
How good is life at home now? It's getting better day by day!
Who wouldn't envy her among all the married women in their village? She has a new house, a boat, several sensible sons, and they have divided the family. The elderly don't live with them. The man is handsome, hardworking, can make money, and is willing to help his wife's family! Thinking of this, Tian Caihua insisted, "That won't work! It was originally agreed that each family would get half, and A Lei was injured because he saved you. He should get half of the money from fishing at sea!"
Zhou Chengxin also insisted: "No, Alei will accompany Xiaoxia to Suicheng in a few days. It is estimated that he will be gone for more than half a month. That means he can't go out to sea for more than half a month, and they are embarrassed to charge him. In the next half month, we have to trouble big brother to stay at home and help us for half a month. We and big brother will each pay half of the money for fishing!"
Tian Caihua also wanted to ask her brothers from her natal family for help with the new boat.
Zhou Chengxin didn't like working with his uncle from the Tian family, but he couldn't refuse.
Then let’s find it!
See what you get in the end.
He felt that Tian Caihua would not be able to bear it.
Then let Tian Caihua refuse it herself!
Lest she have a reason to say that he ignores her family.
Tian Caixing immediately said, "I can stay and help. We are all family, so you don't have to give me half. Just give me some wages! They can't go out to sea for more than half a month, plus they have to recover for a few days, which is almost a month. It's really not easy to give half to each of them. It's not just one or two days. Let's make it like this from now on. Whoever doesn't have time to go out to sea doesn't have to share the money. Just give the cost of renting the boat. This is great! Very fair!"
Tian Caihua was almost mad! Good, good, good, good, what a big head! I can't even make enough money to rent the boat!
Zhou Chengxin nodded: "Brother is right."
Then he looked at Tian Caihua and said, "From now on, when we go fishing, we'll give 20 yuan to A-lei and my parents as the boat rental fee. Then, I'll split the money I earn from fishing in half with my big brother!"
Tian Caixing: "Of course, we should pay for renting the boat. After all, the boat is shared by two families."
Tian Caixing had known about this before. A boat like his was usually rented out to someone for a day for 30 yuan. He gave 20 yuan, which was divided among the three of them, not between the two families. Although it was a bit of a loss, it didn't matter.
He often heard Ah Hua tell him that if he was lucky, he could earn hundreds or even thousands of dollars during a trip to the sea!
Even when things are not going well, you can still make 40 or 50 yuan. If you pay 20 yuan a day for boat rental, isn't that just a small amount?
Zhou Chengxin: "Then it's settled."
There is nothing to be desired in picking peanuts in the fields.
She was wrong! She shouldn't have called her elder brother.
Her elder brother came not to help her go fishing to make money, but to make money! At night, the couple lay in bed, Zhou Chengxin and Tian Caihua discussed: "When our new boat comes back, please ask your elder brother and second brother to come and help. Let your elder brother know when I go fishing tomorrow, so that they won't have to look for work when the time comes, and we won't be able to find anyone..."
Tian Caihua immediately said, "No, no need to tell me! We'll talk about it when the time comes! We don't have to ask my eldest brother to come! Let's talk about it when the new ship comes back. Let my eldest brother find a job and let him do it! There are still a few months to go!"
What do you want her elder brother to do?
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Are you here to share your wealth?
He was just a spendthrift boy! She couldn't afford to invite him! If she had to, she should invite the second brother! She regretted it so much! But she couldn't say bad things about her eldest brother in front of Zhou Chengxin.
Fortunately, she has many brothers from her mother's side, so she has many choices. It should be like what is sung in the opera, "rain and dew are equally shared", so that there will be no conflicts! It must be said that Tian Caihua misses her brothers from her mother's side very much.
In the darkness, Zhou Chengxin curled his lips and said nothing more.
Fortunately, among Tian Caihua's brothers, there are some honest and decent ones.
Her sixth brother is not smart enough and doesn't have many ideas, but he is hardworking and obedient.
When her seventh brother was young, he was raised by his mother in her home together with Wen Guang. He has a good character and knows right from wrong.
In short, he is willing to help if it is worth helping.
It means "What is worrying is not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of distribution; what is worrying is not the poverty but the injustice."
It’s difficult!
So he didn't want to involve A Lei, and it would be best to take the opportunity to separate.
It would be fine if he just wanted to be annoyed, since this is his wife's family's hometown and the maternal home of his sons. He can't let his brothers be annoyed too.
***For the next two days, because Zhou Chenglei had to recuperate, the couple stayed at home to do translation. Apart from that, they only went to the city once to hand in the translated book and brought back many books and magazines to translate.
There was nothing I could do. I was too bored! Jiang Xia didn't even allow me to get close to him, fearing that his wound would split. The two of them could only translate from morning to night.
Jiang Xia can translate three or four magazines in a whole day.
Zhou Chenglei can also translate an original English book that is neither too thick nor too thin.
A couple can earn two to three hundred yuan a day as a translator, so they don't have no income at all.
Early in the morning on the 8th, Zhou Chenglei's wound had scabbed over, and was considered completely healed. He drove a motorcycle to take Jiang Xia to a meeting in the city.
The Guangzhou Trade Fair is about to begin. All manufacturers and members participating in the Guangzhou Trade Fair must go to the city for a meeting today to obtain their certificates and discuss matters concerning their departure for the Guangzhou Trade Fair.
