"So who is it that is not satisfied? This is only when the business is stable. If there are more shops selling buns around, it would be good to make a thousand a year, let alone two thousand."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the bun shop in town to see if we are cheating you."
"Oh, by the way, we have to take into account the social etiquette back home every year. My family's expenses for the whole year are not as much as yours."
If you simply sell buns, you won’t make much in a month, and that’s only if business is good.
The amount that the girl mentioned is indeed the approximate amount they earn from selling buns in their shop.
Anyway, they didn’t know what specific business they were doing outside, they just knew they were selling buns over there.
So there is no need to worry about them not believing me. I can just do a rough calculation and know how many buns I can make every day.
Zhou Xiaodong: "How can a town compare with the big city of Haishi?"
Captain Zhou couldn't stand it any longer and said, "The bun shop in town makes 300 yuan a year, and in a big city it's good enough to make 2,000 yuan. What's wrong? You want them to give your family whatever they earn before you're satisfied, right?"
"In business, there are wins and losses. Didn't some people from our brigade go to the town to do business? Can't you see whether they make money or not?"
Zhou Xiaodong: "It's better than digging for food in the fields."
"Besides, isn't my aunt's niece said to be quite powerful in Hai City? Why won't she help you buy a shop? She saw you borrow so much money from the bank."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Dahu stepped forward and kicked him: "They owe you something. It's okay to be ungrateful, but don't be ungrateful."
"It's already very good that they took our whole family out. Buying a shop is our own business. Why should they help you?"
"Speaking of them, you are still my uncles? What about my cousins? You should help them."
Zhou Xiaodong: "It is precisely because they led you out that they should be more responsible for you. You didn't make any money, and you are in debt."
Zhou Dahu kicked him again: "I'm happy to help, so if you don't want to help, then stop talking."
Zhou Xiaohu: "Okay, stop talking. If you guys are not satisfied, it's easy. We made it very clear yesterday. We will take grandpa and grandma to Hai City together. We will support them in the future. We don't ask you to give us 300 yuan a year. Just 20 yuan a month will be enough."
"I won't go. I said I won't go." Old Mrs. Zhou expressed her attitude without thinking.
Compared to going to Haishi, where she is unfamiliar with the place, and earning 300 yuan a year, isn't it better for her to earn 300 yuan?
Three hundred yuan a year, in two or three years she will be a 1,000 yuan household.
The richest old lady in the brigade.
Ma Juan had the same idea. Rather than losing 300 yuan or sending her parents-in-law away, she would rather have 300 yuan of income at home.
Although the money never reached her, the old lady was generous now that she had money, and the family often had meat to eat.
From time to time, a little bit of water would flow through the gaps between her fingers and she could save it up.
She has saved more than fifty yuan in the past few years.
"It's better for mom and dad to stay with us in the countryside. If the old man is not used to traveling far away, we will have to send him back."
In the end, all the extra steps are added up.
Zhou Qiang's entire family readily signed the maintenance agreement.
Of course, clauses were added to the agreement to prevent Zhou Qiang and his family from acting recklessly.
If one party makes unreasonable demands for an increase in alimony, the other party has the right not to give the money and not to care about the elderly person.
Two elderly people earn 300 yuan a year, and one elderly person earns 150 yuan a year. If one of the elderly people passes away in the meantime, the 150 yuan will be deducted.
In order to ensure that he can get more money in the future, Zhou Qiang will definitely take good care of the old couple, Mrs. Zhou.
After all, one year's life requires one year's wages.
In addition, in order to prevent Zhou Bing from not paying, the agreement also stated that the money for the following year must be sent back in advance in December of each year.
If you don't send it after the New Year, you will start to calculate interest.
Three dollars interest per month.
Before, they gave 40 yuan before the beginning of the year and 200 yuan at the end of the year.
Now, the money for the whole year is paid in full before the New Year.
This was agreed upon by all the elders of the entire Zhou family, and they all signed to witness it.
So there is no need to worry about making trouble for each other.
Otherwise, what is the purpose of signing this agreement after all the trouble?
The purpose of the agreement is not to prove the annual payment, but to play a role of mutual coordination.
Old Mrs. Zhou also agreed to this clause and was happy to do so.
After all, it’s only three hundred dollars.
She would be the first one to refuse anyone who tried to make trouble.
If she could live another ten or eight years at her age, how rich would she be?
No one can stop her from becoming the richest old lady in the brigade.
Once the agreement was signed, the trouble at the old house finally came to an end.
After taking care of the old house, Zhou Bing started preparing for the New Year with his wife and children.
Without the old man causing trouble, this year has finally been a comfortable one.
Although Qiao Xiazhi and the others don’t know the details of what happened to the Zhou family, they will know it on the second day of the Chinese New Year.
Now the whole family is busy preparing things for the New Year.
Because I have been away for many years, I need to clean up, check and repair the house inside and out.
Some neighbors who were on good terms with the family came over to help.
The whole yard was filled with everyone's happy laughter.
Fang Mei and Zhu Shizhen prepared a lot of melon seeds and candies. The men worked while the women chatted and gossiped.
The educated youth wife that so-and-so married ran away after she was admitted to university, and she hasn't come back for several years.
The educated youth son-in-law of so-and-so hasn't come back for several years.
Anyway, in the countryside and in the village, there is always endless gossip to talk about.
"Hey, the one in front of Xiuyun, do you know what they have been doing in the past few years?"
As the topic went on, Aunt Ma started talking about Aunt Qiao's ex-husband.
This topic was about her sister-in-law, so Fang Mei naturally had to listen.
"What's wrong? Is there something big going on?"
Aunt Ma curled her lips and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I really didn't know that Dajiang was such a person."
"After divorcing Xiuyun, didn't he take the widow home? Later, she died of a miscarriage, so he wanted to get back together with Xiuyun but failed."
"I heard that last year, he spent some money to buy a divorced woman. The woman's previous husband died, so her parents took her back and sold her to Dajiang."
Fang Mei: "Did he spend money to buy a servant?"
Aunt Cuihua agreed: "Yes, that's right. That woman is also very pitiful. I heard that she can't have children, and the first man often beat and scolded her."
"Now, she is treated like a cook every day. She has to serve the elderly, the men, and Jiang Dawang's family of three. It's really a sin."
