"Why?" Brother An Si was very shocked, because it was Er Gouzi who took the initiative to ask them to come over at the beginning.
"Ha!" Er Gouzi chuckled and said, "You shouldn't ask why. Instead, I should ask you, why?"
Er Gouzi said he wasn't that angry, but he understood more clearly why An Hongdou had used him, an outsider, instead of her own brother in recent years.
He should also be thankful that they are not very smart and have a lot of trouble, otherwise there would be no chance for him to succeed.
Although he looked down on her in his heart, for An Hongdou's sake and because they would have to work together in the future, he couldn't make the relationship too awkward.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't even bother to explain it to them now.
Er Gouzi was really tired, and didn't care about the dirt on his body. He sat on the bench and said, "When you came here, didn't you think about it? Although we are of the same race, our relationship is not that good. Why should I let you come all the way here to make money with me?"
"It's because of my little sister." Brother An San could still understand, especially when the little sister got a share when the money was divided today. He thought that this business might not belong to Ergouzi alone.
"Yes, and no." Er Gouzi took a deep puff of his cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and smiled, "If it was simply because of Hongdou, I could let you come here and pay you some wages, calculated according to the factory wages. At that time, the highest I made as a driver was only about 40 yuan a month, and I gave you 50 yuan a month, which is considered very high, right? But I let you take a share. In less than half a month of running this trip, each of you earned more than 2,000 yuan, and Hongdou only took more than 1,000 yuan. You really didn't think about it. Why can Hongdou get money without working, and why can you get so much money? I emptied my family's savings of 20,000 or 30,000 to buy a car, why should I share the money with you?"
Brother An San also noticed that Er Gouzi's tone was not good, so he smiled and said, "Er Gou, you know, we are all country guys, and we don't know how to beat around the bush. Just say what you want to say."
"This car outside was bought for 29,000 yuan, not counting the money I paid for gifts for others. I paid 8,000 yuan, and the remaining 21,000 yuan was paid by Hongdou." An Hongdou originally didn't want Ergouzi to say these words, nor did she plan to let his family know, but now, Ergouzi couldn't help but say it.
He did not approve of An Hongdou's behavior. Since she had helped, she should say it out loud. Otherwise, with these two stupid brains, they might really think that they were very capable and made a lot of money, and would never guess how much their sister had paid for them.
Since they have made the efforts, why shouldn’t they be grateful? Instead, they feel complacent and think they are very capable.
Looking at this useless guy who can't even take care of himself, he starts to think about helping his brothers.
"The share you got was given to you by Hongdou to help you. Originally, she wanted you all to come and she didn't want a penny, but she didn't expect that the eldest and second brothers were unwilling to come. You two also took advantage of it. If they had come, only the four of you could share this share, and it would definitely not be as much as it is now." Er Gouzi said again: "I said this just to tell you that Hongdou gave you equal opportunities, but whether you can seize it depends on you. Opportunities are not always there. If you miss it, you miss it. No one is willing to give them opportunities forever. Since they didn't come at the beginning, in addition to their own reasons, their families must have some reasons, or they were also thinking about letting you come to explore the way first, and come when they are sure that they can make money. But you tell me, when we started, we were determined to not even be able to afford food, especially me and Hongdou, who took a big risk. They came to share a piece of the pie only after they were sure that they could make money. Why?"
Ergouzi is a man and understands men's psychology. No one doesn't want to try his luck.
The fact that the eldest and second brothers An didn’t come may have something to do with their two sisters-in-law.
Ergou is not stupid, he has a lot of ideas.
Regardless of whether the third and fourth children can make their own decisions, at least their families support them. This is enough to show that their wives are either sensible or have vision, and this part of the conflict can be eliminated.
The eldest and second sons obviously cannot make their own decisions and do not get the support of their wives. In the future, no matter whether they make money or not, they will easily be controlled by their wives.
To put it bluntly, he is not recruiting workers. No matter how much An Hongdou's share is, they will all be partners.
Firstly, conflicts are more likely to arise when there are too many people. Secondly, even if there are no conflicts among them, trouble will arise sooner or later if too many family members get involved. Not to mention that the sisters-in-law in the An family are more troublesome than the other. Ergouzi feels a headache just thinking about it and doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.
In fact, if An Hongdou hadn't paid the bulk of the money, he wouldn't want to have anything to do with these people.
Wouldn’t it be nice for him to be his own boss and hire a few workers to do the work?
He said everything he needed to say, but Ergouzi was not sure whether the two of them could understand.
But he still hopes that his partners can be smarter. It is not good if they are too stupid. Although they don't play tricks, their simplicity makes people feel confused.
Before leaving, Er Gouzi put his bag in his pocket and asked them, "We'll be away for half a month, and it's not safe to keep too much money at home. Do you want me to take you to open an account tomorrow and deposit the money?"
Brother An scratched his head. He had been silent since he heard what Er Gouzi said. He spoke at this moment, "Isn't it a bit bad for us to just take Xiao Mei's share? Otherwise, we should give it back to Xiao Mei. Fifty yuan a month is actually really high."
He and his wife were discussing at home that they would be satisfied as long as they could earn 30 yuan a month. After saving for a while, maybe they could settle down in the city and become city dwellers.
Fifty dollars, twenty more than they thought, is really not a small amount.
"Since it's given to you, just take it. With Hongdou's ability, I guess there will be few times in this life when I can use you. What you need to do now is to work hard to make yourself stronger, so that people won't be able to say that Hongdou is from the countryside and her family is a bunch of bumpkins!" Ergouzi was almost furious at his words. He swore that An Honglin was definitely the simplest person he had ever met in his life.
You have already got the money but still want to give it away. Do you think the money is too much to bear?
Anyway, he couldn't do such a thing, but he didn't have such a good sister.
Fourth Brother An didn't dare to speak and lowered his head like a bullied young wife.
Brother An San also felt unhappy.
Ergouzi was right. Their whole family is a burden to my younger sister. My younger sister is such an outstanding person. If she had a strong family, would anyone dare to say that about her?
It's because these brothers are useless. Brother An San also knows that his younger sister is looked down upon by her father-in-law. He saw it at the beginning.
He has no ambition and no confidence, so even though he sees it, he doesn't dare to say anything.
Brother An San suddenly felt that what Er Gouzi said was very right. They could not help their younger sister in any way. The only thing they could do was to try to take care of themselves and not be a burden to her. They should not let her take her children to school alone and worry about the livelihoods of these useless brothers.
