When Old Mrs. Lin returned to her parents' home, she told Uncle Lin about purchasing herbs. Every once in a while, he would bring the picked herbs to Yamada Village.
Basically, he would just come, throw the herbs to Old Lady Lin, pat his butt and leave. As for the money he earned from selling the herbs, no one dared to owe him any money.
Today he just came and left as he pleased, as usual. Everyone's family background is similar, and it's impossible for him to ask his sister and her family to prepare delicious food and drinks for him every time he comes!
He is not a vampire who comes to his sister's house specifically to collect money.
But this time was an exception. When I came to the Lin family, I happened to meet Lin Shiyu delivering food to the two elders of the Lin family, and she warmly invited me to taste their new products.
He was quite tolerant of this niece who was not afraid of him, so he agreed directly.
While waiting for Lin Shiyu at the Lin family's old house, Grandpa Lin gave his portion of rice noodle rolls to Uncle Lin out of politeness.
He thought Uncle Lin would disagree, but Uncle Lin finished the meal without saying a word and didn't even leave him any sauce.
How could Mr. Lin not feel aggrieved?
"I came here this time for the rice noodle rolls in your children's hands."
"Steamed Vermicelli Roll?"
"yes."
Uncle Lin has four sons and two daughters in total. Three of them look like him, not only in appearance, but also in personality and physique.
So his three strong and powerful children are now doing hard labor at the docks.
This job is hard, but it is perfect for people who have no special skills but have strength, and the money they can earn is much higher than that of ordinary jobs.
The money he gave to Lin Anru as a subsidy when the third wife moved into a new house was earned by his children through manual labor.
Uncle Lin's family lived together without separating, and the children were of one mind, so of course their lives were getting better and better, which was exactly the opposite of the Lin family.
Although the Liu family (Uncle Lin's surname is Liu) seems to be thriving to outsiders, there are still some discords within.
The source of the discord was his youngest son.
Unlike his other three sons, his youngest son inherited his grandfather's characteristics, being short in stature and having a kind face.
There are so many people in their family that they can scare outsiders to death when they see them.
His youngest son was lucky enough not to be scared by outsiders because of his physique and appearance. He was totally out of place in the Liu family.
After all, he is my own son, and I can't let him be bullied. It's okay if my family members protect him more. The relationship in the family has always been harmonious.
However, this harmonious family relationship was soon broken. Conflicts arose within a few years of the youngest son's marriage.
Three of the four children have jobs and earn money, but the youngest son doesn't. This makes his daughter-in-law feel unbalanced.
You should know that after the money earned is turned over to the public, 30% is left as private money for the family.
The youngest son was unable to do hard labor, so he basically took on all the work on the family's fields. He worked himself to death but earned nothing except enough to fill his stomach.
The other three go out to work, working themselves to death but still getting paid. It would be strange if the young daughter-in-law could feel balanced.
However, it is impossible for Uncle Lin, who is the head of the family, to use the money earned by his other three sons to subsidize his youngest son's family. If he does so, it will not just be a conflict between his youngest son and his wife.
So, Uncle Lin had to work hard to help his youngest son find some jobs that he could do.
But no one in their family has any skills, and the youngest son doesn't have any strength, so there are very few jobs they can find.
"I want your cousin to go to the dock and sell this rice noodle roll."
The dock is bustling with people, and any business is easy to do, as long as you have a decent business, and there are three other children in the family there, and the youngest son is selling food and someone causes trouble, the three older brothers can help.
"Then I'll go call Boyu and Shiyu over. They're the only ones who can make this."
Lin Anru stood up and prepared to go out, but was stopped by Uncle Lin.
"Don't worry. Call them after we've finished talking."
Mrs. Lin, who was originally sitting on the side, suddenly stood up and walked to the gate not far away and stood there.
"I'm not taking this recipe from you for nothing, it's just..." Uncle Lin paused and said, "I can only pay you later."
"Uncle, what did you say?" Lin Anru looked outside the door. Old Mrs. Lin was guarding there, and no one came in for the time being.
"The money you gave me last time is enough to buy this recipe..."
"What's given to you is yours. How can it be confused with the money I paid you to buy the house?" Uncle Lin interrupted him and said, "There are two ways to buy your recipe now. The first is a one-time buyout, but the money can't be given to you immediately. You have to wait until your cousins get their wages."
"The second option is a profit-sharing arrangement. Let your cousin sell the products, and you provide the recipes. The profits will then be divided equally. Whichever method you prefer?"
Lin Anru didn't answer him immediately, but asked: "Uncle, which one do you want me to choose?"
"The second one." Uncle Lin answered without hesitation.
The second option was chosen not for any other reason but because Dangdang did not want his three eldest sons to get involved. Business is a matter of gains and losses. If the three sons used their money to buy the prescription, what would happen if the youngest son lost money and had no money to return to his brothers? That would create a rift between the four children.
"Then choose the second option. There's no need to just split it equally. My cousin is the one who provided the money and the effort. I'll just give you a recipe. Even 20% is more than enough."
"No." Uncle Lin rejected Lin Anru's proposal: "I asked you to choose the second option because I have selfish motives. If your cousin loses money, you won't get any money at all, which is unfair to you."
Lin Anru also disagreed with Uncle Lin's proposal. If possible, he actually wanted to give the recipe directly to Uncle Lin to repay him.
It would be unreasonable for him not to repay the huge sum of money he had previously subsidized. Favorable relationships between relatives can only last long, and he can't always be the one to take advantage of it.
Neither of them agreed to the other's request. After a long conversation, both sides made concessions and decided to split the money equally, but there was a time limit of only three years. After three years, how much money was earned would have nothing to do with Lin Anru.
After reaching an agreement with Uncle Lin, the only thing left was to talk to the children.
"...This is what happened. Dad wants to sell this recipe to my uncle. Is that okay?"
"You should ask my sister about this. The recipe is hers, and I'm just responsible for the execution."
"Sure, no problem."
Lin Shiyu didn't mind at all. This was not modern times, but ancient times. She and Lin Anru were one.
She can only be well if Lin Anru is well, especially since she is still young and cannot cope with this feudal society alone, Lin Anru is very important.
Besides, she did this just to satisfy her craving, not to make money, so it would be great if she could sell it now.
