He and his father had also thought about this issue, and they knew more or less about the family situations of Lao Gu and Su, the two educated youths.
The family of four relied solely on Lao Gu's salary, so they were certainly not well-off. Otherwise, Su Zhiqing wouldn't have rashly gone to the black market to buy fish, cook fish pieces, and earn some living expenses.
Although these aunties are usually a bit gossipy, what they say isn't entirely unreasonable.
Liushu Village started with Su Zhiqing's recipe, which transformed Liushu Village, which had always been ranked at the bottom, into a model village in Xuancheng, Dongshi.
Many high-ranking leaders have come to inspect and study their business philosophy. To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Su Zhiqing's generous donations, they wouldn't be doing so well now.
In just three years, every family in Liushu Village has built a big red brick house, everyone has enough to eat, and no one has to worry about their stomachs anymore.
Two years ago, a school was built in Liushu Village, and all the children in the village have access to education. The village is no longer entirely illiterate.
The development of Liushu Village is inseparable from the Gu couple. Now that they are living a good life, we can't let our benefactors live a hard life.
"Don't worry, everyone. Every year from now on, Liushu Village will give Su Zhiqing 10% of the profits. She will always think of us if she comes up with any good ideas in the future."
The older women didn't have any objections to the 10% bonus, since their Willow Tree Village's good life was entirely due to Su Zhiqing's recipe for dried yellow peaches.
Otherwise, even dogs in Willow Village would refuse to eat those sour yellow peaches.
"Yes, yes, yes. Our Willow Tree Village owes them a debt of gratitude and should repay it. It's just a ten percent share of all the village's profits, right? We can afford it."
"As long as no one has any objections, that's fine."
"No, no, I won't have any objections."
His father was always very opinionated. The fact that he was willing to give away 10% of the village's profits, which was his way of being bound to Su Zhiqing forever.
As long as Willow Village remains standing and there's money to be made, Su Zhiqing will always get a share.
The old fox is still the most cunning... He can even come up with such a despicable idea.
He could tell, and Su Zhiqing and Lao Gu certainly could too, but... this money was given away for free, so why not take it?
If it were him, he would accept it; who would complain about having too much money?
Besides... even if Lao Gu's salary is high, supporting four people... no, five people... it's still a tight life. Moreover, she should eat better now that she's pregnant.
He felt that Su Zhiqing would definitely not refuse, after all, her income was traceable, the money was legitimate, and she could spend it.
After frying and tasting the fish pieces, Su Ying and Gu Sinian slowly walked back.
Sun Xuelin was perceptive enough to know that Su Zhiqing couldn't stand the smell, so he put the lid on and turned off the fire.
"Has everyone learned how to do it by now?"
The twenty women nodded. "We've all learned it."
"Then let's not delay any longer. Everyone, get to work and finish processing the remaining fish. Old Gu will be here to guide you, and I guarantee you'll all learn how to do it."
The women smiled happily. The deputy captain had promised that as long as their fried fish pieces were up to standard and they could fry fish pieces on one side of the plate, he would teach them all how to fry fish pieces, since they were people who stayed at home taking care of their children and had no income.
Now that they have a job and their own income, their lives will only get better and better.
Besides, frying fish pieces is a very easy job; even an unmarried daughter or sister-in-law in the family can do it.
An older woman mustered her courage and asked, "Deputy Captain... I have a little aunt who's a pretty good cook. Could she come and learn how to fry fish pieces?"
Sun Xuelin refused without hesitation, saying, "We don't need so many people right now. Fish are in high demand lately, and it took me a lot of effort to get this truckload of fish."
"We don't need that many people to fry fish pieces yet. If our fish farming is successful, we might expand our business and maybe even create twenty more jobs."
"Really?"
"Of course. I, Sun Xuelin, always keep my word. When have we ever lied to you?"
"That's true. We believe you."
Sun Xuelin didn't intend to hide anything and told his father everything he had discussed the previous night.
When Su Ying heard that she had received a windfall, she could no longer hide the smile on her face.
"You said I'd get 10% of all the profits from everything the village produces?"
Sun Xuelin nodded, "Although 10% may not sound like much, you don't know how much profit our Willow Tree Village can earn in a year. Giving you 10% separately can guarantee your family of five a normal life."
"Although we're not quite well-off, we don't have to worry about food and clothing."
Su Ying didn't stand on ceremony with them. This 10% profit was what she was entitled to. Since it wasn't much, she felt perfectly justified in taking it without the slightest guilt.
I suddenly remembered my conversation with Gu Sinian last night. The military wives in the family compound where the troops are stationed have a very hard life. Their lives are not as good as those of the villagers in Liushu Village.
She suddenly had an idea: she could use Willow Tree Village as a pilot site and get a bigger share of the profits.
Once she succeeds, no one will say anything if she returns to the family compound to start over, and it will even create more job opportunities, which is great.
In this way, she can earn money from both ends, and the small amounts add up to a large sum, so she can get a 20% profit.
Although doing business is not allowed now, this stuff is considered speculation and profiteering if you touch it.
But what about a group?
Everyone will benefit; I refuse to believe we can't handle those old guys at the garrison.
If things go well, I can not only support my family, but also help others.
This is fine.
“I need money. The doctor said I might be having twins again. There are several children to support. With Gu Sinian’s fixed salary, my children and I might not even have enough to eat.”
Sun Xuelin frowned. "Could it be that you want to add Li?"
"no."
"Why is that?"
"What I mean is that there is another money-making project. The initial investment is not much and it is easy to succeed. As long as this project succeeds, it can bring different benefits to Willow Village, and my share of the profits will also increase accordingly."
"Really? You're not kidding me, are you? I'll go tell my father now and have him come over and talk to you."
Sun Xuelin was shocked. He never expected that Su Zhiqing had such a good idea. This way, Liushu Village could create many more jobs, and there wouldn't be many lazybones in the village anymore.
"May I hear what kind of project it is?"
Greenhouse vegetables.
"What's this?"
"Why don't you invite your father over? I'll talk to him properly. I'm telling you now, and then I'll have to do it again later. It's exhausting. I've been very sleepy lately because I'm pregnant."
Sun Xuelin shook his head. "I understand. I get it."
Before leaving, Su Xuelin's steps were unsteady, but he did not forget to turn back and tell her, "Su Zhiqing, if you are feeling unwell, go home and rest first. I will bring my father over later to talk to you in detail."
"Uh-huh."
Watching Sun Xuelin's departing figure, Su Ying and Gu Sinian slowly walked towards the Bai family's direction.
Who wouldn't want to escape poverty if there's money to be made?
The timing isn't right now; if I want to have money, I need to find another way.
