After Su Cai finished calculating this year's accounts, she announced the results: "The total revenue of our braised food stall today is 96,576.8 yuan!"
"So much?" Yi Zhigang's voice was a little floating! He knew that his wife's braised food stall business was good, and it took a long time to count the money every day when keeping accounts, but he only knew that he made money, but he didn't know that the income this year was so much.
Not to mention more than 90,000 yuan, he had never seen even 10,000 yuan before.
"This is the total revenue, and there are also costs included," said Su Cai.
"How much money did you make after deducting costs?" asked Zhao Xianglan.
Su Cai couldn't help but laugh: "After deducting the cost, the net profit is 11,590.2 yuan. Qingqing holds 25% of the shares and gets 2,897.55."
She counted out the corresponding amount of money and gave it to Yi Qingqing.
"Thank you, sister-in-law," Yi Qingqing accepted it readily. This money came easier than finding a clothing store in the capital. Apart from coming up with a recipe and teaching her sister-in-law how to make some braised dishes, she really didn't worry about anything else.
Su Cai nodded to her and began to count the remaining money. After counting it all, she divided it into two piles and pushed the smaller pile to Yi's mother: "Mom and Dad, this is yours. You have been tired this year and helped us a lot. We will give you 15% of the shares, a total of 1,738.53 yuan. In the end, Zhigang and I own 60% of the shares and get 6,954.12 yuan."
Zhao Xianglan was immersed in the joy of her son and daughter's families making a lot of money, and suddenly she received a lot of money. She quickly pushed it back: "What's the point of that little favor? What's the point of sharing shares? As parents, it's our duty to help our children. How can we calculate it so clearly?"
"But from purchasing raw materials to preparing braised dishes and setting up the stall to sell them, you and Dad have put in a lot of effort. Without your help, this braised dish stall wouldn't be so successful and we wouldn't make so much money. It's my duty to honor you!" Su Cai insisted on giving it.
She is really grateful to her parents-in-law.
When she wanted to quit her regular job in the factory, they supported her without hesitation. Her mother-in-law even took the initiative to find someone to buy her job and helped her make some money.
Her father-in-law also helped with the purchasing, and they also helped a lot when she was making braised dishes in the evening.
Compared with her previous marriage experience, Yi's family is simply heaven. She has already regarded her parents-in-law as her own parents.
"Yes, Mom and Dad, just take it!" Yi Zhigang also said.
"No!" Yi's father said, "You have your own abilities, so take the money you earn. We two old men will help you wherever we can. It's nothing to contribute a little. Besides, your mother and I are not even fifty years old. Why do we need you to show respect to us? We are not old and can't work anymore."
"Your father and I said the same thing to Qingqing. After we retire and have no money to spend, you brothers and sisters can work together to support us in our old age, and each of you will pay half of the money and effort. Before retirement, while you are still able to work, there is no need for you to do so. You are all successful people who make a lot of money, and your parents will no longer have to subsidize your expenses. The combined monthly salary of 70 or 80 yuan is not enough to spend, so why should we ask you for money?" Zhao Xianglan said.
The two of them had discussed this matter privately a long time ago. After they had raised the two children, they would take good care of themselves when they got married and started their own families. As long as they were not too old to move, they would try not to be a burden to the children.
Yi Qingqing also nodded: "That's what my mom told me. My clothing store made some money, and I wanted to give some money to mom and the others, but she refused to take any of it."
She still feels a little upset when she talks about this now!
So far, she has never been successful in trying to give money to someone, but her mother has secretly given her living expenses several times.
In her mother's words, she is still a student, not married and has no career, so it is only right for her parents to give her living expenses. They also gave her brother living expenses when he was learning his skills.
This bowl of water is really fair, eliminating any possibility of family conflicts.
She added unwillingly: "Since our parents won't accept our money, we can just buy as many things as we can to honor them. These things can't be returned after they are bought, so we have to accept them even if they don't want them!"
Su Cai thought of the extra large packages her sister had sent back every month this year, and suddenly realized something. She was greatly inspired: "Mom and Dad, then I won't give you any shares."
Zhao Xianglan: “…”
Forget it, let them be. The children are filial and capable, so there is nothing wrong in buying things for them. But if anyone dares to buy too much and waste it, don't blame her for twisting her ears!
"Then Zhigang and I will hold 75% of the shares, which means we will get 8,692.65 yuan," Su Cai said. "Then I will calculate the reserved costs for purchasing raw materials and hiring people for the next quarter. After setting aside this, the rest can be used to buy a big house and a shop."
"Wife, how about I quit my job and come out to help you next year!" Yi Zhigang's brainstorm was so quick: "You are going to hire someone anyway, why don't I help you? It's reliable, it saves money, and I am familiar with the process."
All the money his wife earns from the shop belongs to their small family. Since she has proved her ability, the profit they share this year is more than he could earn by working in a factory for 20 years. He doesn't need his salary as a guarantee anymore, so he might as well help his wife.
Now that the store is open, there are more things to move around, so it's better to have him there. He also doesn't trust his wife to be alone in the store, what if someone bullies her? He's almost good at making marinades, so it's a good deal no matter how you think about it.
"Are you serious?" Su Cai asked in surprise.
"Seriously, if you agree, I will sell my job after the New Year!" Yi Zhigang said.
Su Cai was very happy: "That's great, if you come to help, I don't have to worry about the leakage of marinade for the time being, and I can also save a lot of costs!"
She understands her man. He may not be particularly smart, but he never acts on his own and respects her opinions very much. With such a personality, it would be best for him to be an employee.
"If you have decided, your father and I will help find out who wants the job and make it happen," said Zhao Xianglan.
Even if her son didn't bring it up, she would have said it anyway.
In a few years, this job will probably become less and less valuable. There will be more and more self-employed people, and they will always need to hire people, so there will be more jobs.
Nowadays, factory jobs cannot be sold for as high a price as they were a few years ago.
Even if the family's braised food shop goes bankrupt, my son and daughter-in-law can find jobs again, so there will be no problem in supporting the family, and there's nothing wrong with trying their luck.
She was even happier that her son made such a decision on his own.
Su Cai nodded and counted out 1,692 yuan from their dividends this year: "This money should be more than enough to purchase raw materials and turnover next year."
