Pei Zhi wrote down some data in her notebook: "This money is the profit my second brother and I made from the summer clothes we prepared earlier."
“At that time, my elder brother and sister-in-law hadn’t arrived yet, so I won’t share this money with you.”
Pei Zhi looked at Pei Wang and said, "Didn't you want to buy a car? Use this money to buy a car."
"Really?" Pei Wang looked at Pei Zhi incredulously. "You can really buy it?"
Brother Pei frowned, clearly still somewhat disapproving.
Sister-in-law Pei secretly tugged at Brother Pei's sleeve, signaling him to be quiet.
Pei Zhi made the final decision: "Buy it. With a car, it will be more convenient for you and your brother to deliver goods."
Pei Wang was still somewhat hesitant, "This money is money we both earned. After buying the car, I'll be the only one driving it... Won't you be losing out?"
Pei Zhi chuckled: "Look, when you don't need it, I can use it. Besides, I spend all my time at school and rarely have the chance to drive."
Pei Wang was still somewhat hesitant, feeling that he was taking advantage of Pei Zhi.
As the older brother, he not only fails to take better care of his younger sister, but he also takes advantage of her.
"How about this, when I want to buy a car in the future, can you sponsor me some money?"
Pei Wang nodded: "Alright."
After settling the accounts from the beginning, we moved on to the end.
"Big brother, big sister-in-law, from now on we won't pay you a salary anymore, we'll pay you according to the profit sharing."
Brother Pei didn't understand any of this: "Profit sharing? How is it distributed?"
“We’ll divide the profits into ten parts. Big brother, you take one part. You usually get up early to deliver charcoal and black with second brother. This is what you deserve.”
Pei Zhi looked at her sister-in-law and continued, "Sister-in-law, you also need to take a share. You do all the housework, from washing clothes and cooking to cleaning."
"Then, my second brother and I each got four portions."
Pei Zhi didn't think that it was too much for her and Pei Wang to each take four portions.
They set up the business together, took over the factory, and provided the start-up capital.
The elder brother and sister-in-law waited for their business to get on track before helping them. The couple took two shares and received a considerable amount of money each year.
Pei Wang was the first to speak up: "No, four portions are too much for me. I'll take three portions, and you take five."
"It was your idea to take over the factory in the first place, and the clothes we're making now are all designed by you, so you should get more."
Pei Zhi chuckled and said, "Let's not be so calculating between the two of us. This business can't succeed without either of us."
Pei Wang felt a warm glow in his heart upon hearing Pei Zhi's words, and he immediately fell silent.
“We don’t need to split the money, just give me and your older brother a salary.”
How could Sister-in-law Pei possibly ask for any dividends?
She had never approved of her brother-in-law and sister-in-law starting a business, and thought that the family was giving them money to do business and that it would be a disgrace.
Her sister-in-law is kind-hearted, and she was so grateful when her sister-in-law invited her to come to the city that she felt too embarrassed to ask for more money.
"Sister-in-law, this is what you deserve. Look how much weight your second brother has gained since you came to the city!"
Pei Wang glared at Pei Zhi and then said, "Sister-in-law, take what your younger sister gave you. It's what you deserve."
"Okay, I'll keep it."
Pei Zhi made the final decision, "Then it's settled. No matter how big the business gets in the future, we'll divide it this way."
Brother Pei scratched his head. "It's because I'm a useless older brother. I'm still taking advantage of my younger siblings."
Pei Wang chuckled and said, "Big brother, you're not sponging off your parents. What's so shameful about taking advantage of your younger siblings?"
"You should think of it this way: your younger siblings are successful and helped you out. You should be proud to have such amazing younger siblings."
Pei Wang's grin made the whole family burst into laughter.
Pei Wang had wanted to buy a car for a long time, and now that he had the money, he would go to learn to drive every day after finishing his deliveries.
He was very motivated, and Pei Wang was also talented; he mastered it within a month.
Pei Wang contacted acquaintances, gave them cigarettes and alcohol, and got a car through a company affiliation.
Pei Wang even waited for Pei Zhi to come along, and then the whole family went to pick up the car.
Pei Wang specially wore a new outfit and cleaned himself from head to toe.
After picking up the car, I bought a bunch of snacks like melon seeds and candy, and then drove back to my hometown.
Pei Zhi sat in the passenger seat, while her elder brother and sister-in-law sat in the back.
The older brother and sister-in-law touched the car all over; it was their first time riding in a sedan, and everything was new and exciting.
Sister-in-law Pei patted her brother's hand, "Touch it gently, your hands are covered in calluses, don't rub them raw."
Brother Pei chuckled and quickly withdrew his hand.
Pei Wang hummed a song as he drove, swaying his head as he drove.
Pei Zhi patted Pei Wang on the shoulder and said, "Drive carefully, don't sway back and forth."
Pei Wang sat up straight. "Just thinking about going back to the village later, my parents will be terrified when they see me driving back."
Isn't the point of life to save face?
Brother Pei was also quite surprised, "The people riding in the car are all leaders from the city. I never thought I would be able to ride in the car too!"
These days, everyone who drives a car is a driver, and you have to register your car with your employer.
If Pei Wang hadn't spent money and found connections, he really wouldn't have been able to buy this car.
A large group of people returned home in a grand procession.
The car was surrounded by onlookers as soon as it entered the village.
Pei Wang rolled down the car window, as if afraid that no one could see his face.
Pei Zhi watched from the side, and could only smile helplessly.
The car drove slowly, followed by a number of villagers who were all there to watch the excitement.
