However, before he could even go, his older brother and sister-in-law came to his door. His older brother's eyes were a little swollen, and he looked like he was still hungover.
Jiang Yunxiang looked a little tired, but her eyes revealed a kind of excitement.
"Brother, sister-in-law, why are you here so early?"
"I've come to ask you for a share of the money, huh?" Ye Guowei joked as he sat down.
Ye Cheng was a little confused by his older brother's tone. His older brother wasn't the kind of person who cared about money. Could it be his sister-in-law?
That's just how people are sometimes; they're all smiles and pleasantries when they're broke, but once they have money, conflicts easily arise.
Just like those wealthy families, why are they always fighting over inheritance? It's because they're rich.
If everyone is starving, they might actually get along well.
Seeing Ye Cheng looking at her, Jiang Yunxiang teased, "What, you think it was your sister-in-law who encouraged your brother to come and ask for money? Let me make it clear, it was your brother who asked for it himself."
I just don't understand this couple.
"Brother, I've already calculated it." Ye Cheng had just started to speak when Ye Guowei interrupted him.
"Wait, Cheng, let me speak first."
Ye Cheng looked at his older brother with a puzzled expression. Was he about to start lecturing him again?
"Your sister-in-law and I came here to discuss the profit-sharing arrangement. It's 70% for you and 30% for me, not 30% for you," Ye Guowei explained his purpose simply and clearly.
Ye Cheng was surprised that his older brother had come so early to talk to him about this. He was just about to speak.
Jiang Yunxiang interjected,
“Well, Cheng, I agree too. Your older brother just hangs around occasionally and doesn’t do anything. You’ve paid for everything. In the TV series, he’s the general manager, and you’re the chairman. You get 70% and your older brother gets 30%.”
Ye Cheng chuckled lightly. This has even brought up the chairman.
"No, elder brother and sister-in-law," Ye Cheng wanted to say again.
"Don't say anything more. We'll only take 30% at most. I'd feel a little embarrassed even taking 30%. But you've been eating and wearing my clothes before, so I'm taking a little more as a way of repaying you. Originally, 10% would have been enough for me." Ye Guowei waved his hand, not giving Ye Cheng a chance to refute at all.
“Yes, Cheng, you’ll be raising crayfish, which will require a lot of investment. It’s better if you contribute more; if we just deposit it all in the bank, it won’t do much,” Jiang Yunxiang added.
Seeing how determined his older brother and sister-in-law were, Ye Cheng was at a loss for words.
He does need money. The construction of the crayfish farm here requires building houses, digging ponds, and buying equipment, all of which require money.
Moreover, I haven't been out at sea for a while, and suddenly I feel like I'm short of money.
"Alright, let's do as my elder brother and sister-in-law say." Ye Cheng nodded.
"That's right, that's how you achieve something like sustainable development, right?" Ye Guowei was very happy to see Ye Cheng nod.
He was genuinely worried that Ye Cheng would give him 70%, and he wouldn't feel at ease accepting it, and it might even cause his younger brother to become dissatisfied.
I'll take 30% myself, which will benefit me, and my brother won't think too much about it. The most important thing is for the family to live in harmony.
Based on a 30% calculation, Ye Cheng gave Ye Guowei Yuan, and Ye Cheng directly transferred 80,000 yuan to him.
Jiang Yunxiang couldn't stop smiling when she saw the 80,000 yuan in her account.
“Ah Cheng, when you suggested that your older brother get involved in animal husbandry, I was thinking he could only earn enough to eat. I never expected he could earn so much.”
“Sister-in-law, this is just the beginning. You’ll be a millionaire in the future. When you go back to your parents’ home, who will dare to raise their voice at you?”
"Hahaha, that's right."
These words struck a chord with Jiang Yunxiang. Now that she had money, she could buy some nice things for her mother and her younger brother, and then she would feel more confident at home.
"Okay, I'll take your clothes back to wash them. You can rest now."
Jiang Yunxiang said she was going to take Ye Cheng's dirty clothes away, but when she went inside, they were gone.
"Oh, Aunt Zhang has already taken it," Ye Cheng said casually.
"Xiuqin?" Jiang Yunxiang frowned.
"Yes, she cooked some porridge this morning."
Jiang Yunxiang glanced at Ye Guowei, her expression hesitant.
Ye Guowei coughed and looked at Ye Cheng, saying,
"Ah Cheng, your Aunt Zhang is a widow after all. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to get too close to her? Why don't you ask your sister-in-law to find you a few girls? Or your two previous girls would also be fine."
Seeing their worried expressions, Ye Cheng understood, after all, widow was not a good word.
Now that I have money, if I were to get together with Widow Zhang, people would definitely gossip about me.
"Brother, sister-in-law, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm just trying to help her."
Seeing Ye Cheng's response, the two fell silent.
After Ye Guowei and his wife left, Ye Cheng calculated his savings.
Previously, I had 35,000 yuan in savings, 30,000 yuan in debt, and a 300,000 yuan mortgage. I also need to invest another 30,000 yuan later.
I've now earned another 178,000, bringing my total to 213,000. I have 30,000 in debt, a 300,000 mortgage, and I need to invest another 30,000 later.
Now that he had money again, Ye Cheng felt much more at ease.
Ye Cheng also took a look at the system today; it had been several days since he last checked it.
Luck value: 70+20
Points: 8400
His luck stat wasn't low, but his points were accumulating so quickly, which was a bit beyond Ye Cheng's expectations. He guessed it was from collecting clams.
If that's the case, then animal husbandry will also be included in the calculation, and the points will accumulate much faster.
Ye Cheng now wants to upgrade the system as soon as possible.
However, it seems a bit of a waste not to use today's luck. I need to ask Duan Chunsheng for his opinion and see if we can go out to sea tonight.
Duan Chunsheng had also drunk quite a bit last night and was resting at home. When he saw Ye Cheng coming over, he quickly invited him in.
"Duan Yong isn't here?" Ye Cheng glanced around but didn't see Duan Yong.
"He's been keeping an eye on the seedling nursery; he's contacted people and gone to inspect the site."
Ye Cheng nodded, agreeing that it was indeed necessary to keep an eye on things.
"Uncle, is it still possible to go out to sea at night?" Ye Cheng asked.
"You want to go out tonight? Aren't you going to rest for a bit?" Duan Chunsheng looked at Ye Cheng curiously. He made a fortune yesterday, and he's not even going to get a proper rest.
"Hmm, resting isn't interesting either. I want to go out to sea and take a look, but I haven't been out much at night."
Duan Chunsheng thought for a moment, "Then how about we go catch squid? It's the season now, and I know roughly where it is. Let's turn on the lights and go together."
Duan Chunsheng said he was going to catch squid, but to be honest, Ye Cheng had never been before.
Squid are attracted to light, so at night they are easily drawn to the surface by fishing lights and gather together, making them easier for fishermen to catch.
However, squid lights are not used haphazardly. Through years of experience, fishermen have developed a method to attract squid.
