Chapter 300: Happy Agricultural Company 1
Ziyi noticed that Yike kept looking at Li Xiaoshan, Chen Dawang and other young men from time to time, and didn't listen to what his father Li Haoran was saying at all, so he couldn't help but touch Yike.
Yike finally remembered that he was in a meeting now, and he could only talk about those ideas with the aunts from each family after the meeting.
Li Haoran finished his speech and the highlight of the meeting began.
Ziyi took out the plan and explained the contents to everyone. The general contents were as follows:
The first thing was to propose a name, Xingfu Xingnong Company.
After hearing this, people in the conference room started talking about it. Some said that the name was grand, while others said that it was easy to understand and that they knew it was related to land. Everyone praised the name and unanimously approved the first name proposal.
The second item is the distribution of company shares. "The shares are calculated based on the area of everyone's land. For convenience, we use integers. We have measured everyone's land yesterday. Now I will tell you the data." Ziyi opened another data book and read out the numbers measured by everyone.
Li Youcai's family holds three shares; Hu Haohan's family holds two shares; Chen Shengli's family holds three shares; Ma Youcai, Wang Feng, Liu Bing, Dong Guoqing, Du Qingcang and Du Qingcang's family jointly opened up the wasteland. They calculated by headcount: Du Qingcang's family of three, plus Ma Youcai and four others, a total of seven people, each holding three shares.
Du Qingcang's family had nine shares. Originally, Du Qingcang said that his son Du Jiankang only counted as half, but Ma Youcai and others firmly disagreed, arguing that the fields were usually managed by Du Qingcang's family.
The remaining seventy-one shares belonged to Li Haoran's family. Li Haoran required that he and his wife Zhang Yuling jointly hold ten shares, Ziyi hold ten shares, and the remaining fifty-one shares belonged to Yike.
No matter how Yi Ke refused, Li Haoran had to make this allocation. The reason is simple. This place was discovered by Yi Ke, and Yi Ke taught him how to raise animals and make fertilizer. Dried fruits and canned meat were also made by Yi Ke and everyone else. Moreover, those wastelands were reclaimed using the cattle that Yi Ke brought back. Without the cattle, they would not have been able to reclaim so much wasteland. The biggest contributor was Yi Ke, so Yi Ke should hold the largest share.
But my mother Zhang Yuling didn't think so. She wanted to be rich and powerful in the future so that she wouldn't be bullied by her husband's family. Anyway, Yike belongs to Ziyi, but if she is Yike's openly, even if Ziyi's parents come back in the future, Yike has a rich fortune, so her in-laws won't look down on her and think that she is marrying above her station.
I don’t know what my mother Zhang Yuling is thinking. If I knew, she would definitely be moved to tears.
When Chen Shengli saw that his elder brother Li Haoran had distributed the shares in detail, he also suggested that his family's shares should also be divided per capita. He and his wife Tao Xiu'e got the larger share, the two children got the smaller share, and Chen Yue'er got no share.
"Hmph, a daughter who's married off is like water spilled. There's no reason for her to come back to her parents' home to divide her things." Chen Shengli said coldly.
"There are three parts in our house. How much do you plan to get?" Tao Xiu'e asked her husband with a sneer.
"Chen Dawang and Fugui each share one share, and the rest belongs to the two of us." Chen Shengli didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all.
"Hmph, let's switch it up. We'll share one portion, and the rest can be divided among the three siblings." Tao Xiu'e glared at Chen Shengli fiercely.
"No, Yue'er can't share. She's already married and belongs to someone else's family. How can she go back to her parents' home to divide the family property? I will never agree to it." Chen Shengli objected loudly. He was not afraid of making Chen Yue'er sad.
Sure enough, when Chen Yue'er heard what her father said, her face suddenly turned pale and tears welled up in her eyes. In fact, in her heart, she had never thought about getting shares in her mother's family, but her father's words made her too sad.
Chen Yue'er looked at her father's ruthless face silently, feeling dazed. When did her father become like this? Yes, it started from the day she got married.
She still remembered what her father said when she got married: "From today on, you belong to someone else's family. You must remember that you were raised by our family, so after you get married, remember to bring back any good things, help your brothers, and don't be an ungrateful person."
At this moment, she understood.
"Oh, without Yue'er, you could have reclaimed so much wasteland. Dawang, Fugui, you two brothers, tell me, do you want to give some to Yue'er?" Tao Xiu'e asked the two brothers.
"Of course it should be divided. My sister has done so much work, so of course it should be divided." Chen Fugui didn't understand what the adults were saying. But he knew that it was wrong for his father to be unwilling to give his sister shares, as his sister did a lot of work at home.
"Dad, Mom, the wasteland was reclaimed before my sister got married, so she should have a share." Chen Dawang expressed his opinion.
"I forgot that you have already divided the family, so you have no share." Chen Shengli suddenly remembered this and said immediately.
"Shengli, you are wrong." Li Haoran stood up to be fair. "The children all contributed to the reclamation, so how can you not share the spoils? What's the difference between them and the families outside the mountain? You fled into the mountain because your parents were partial to you. Now it's your turn to be parents, do you want to be like them?"
"Then, big brother, how do you think we should divide it?" Chen Shengli asked Li Haoran in a low voice.
"How about this, when Yue'er gets married, give her half of the share as a dowry. The remaining two and a half shares will be divided among the three of you. Logically, Fugui is still young, so he shouldn't get the same, but he's a boy and will get married and support a family in the future, so let's not make a fuss about it. However, before marriage, the shares will be managed by your parents, and the money distributed each year will also be controlled by your parents. After marriage, the shares will be given to Fugui. What do you think?" Li Haoran suggested.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, big brother." Chen Shengli nodded reluctantly. Tao Xiu'e and her sons had no objections.
Chen Yue'er looked at Li Haoran with gratitude, wanting to say thank you but not knowing how to open the mouth.
Yi Ke looked at Chen Shengli in surprise. She couldn't understand why this man listened to his father Li Haoran so much.
Chen Shengli: My whole family's lives were saved by my eldest brother, so of course I listen to him. Even if anyone wants to harm me, my eldest brother will not do so.
Ziyi: I helped save you back then, why don’t you listen to me?
Ma Youcai also gave half of his shares to his wife Han Guihua, which made Yike look at him differently.
Ziyi also wanted to register all the shares under Yike's name, but Yike refused without hesitation. In the end, Ziyi gave half of them to Yike, saying that he did not give a betrothal gift when they got married and he was making up for it now.
Du Qingcang also took out a share to give to Yi Ke, saying that it was to make up for the wedding dowry.
"Yike, we are your godfather and godmother, and you were the one who saved your brother Jiankang. When you got married, we didn't even give you a decent dowry. This share can be considered as our dowry to you." Du Qingcang said sincerely.
As if she had discussed with Du Qingcang, Zhang Yuling would also give out half of her shares as dowry. She said, "I finally have a daughter. If you don't even give us a dowry, how can we feel at ease?"
In the end, Ke could no longer refuse and had to accept one share from Li Haoran and his wife. Du Qingcang only accepted one share. Yi Ke alone held 58 shares, making him the largest shareholder in name and reality.
I really wanted to look up to the sky and shout, "I am finally a rich woman again."
