Chapter 1063 Give Them Something Shocking
Little Fubao was stunned and grew increasingly worried. He tugged at Xu Erjun's sleeve and asked, "Second Uncle, what's both poisonous and good? Uncle Qiao and Sister Ertao's quarrel, is it good or bad?"
"Haha, you kid just love to fantasize. Who told you that your uncle Qiao and Ertao have a conflict?" Xu Erjun was a little impressed by his nephew's brain. He was so imaginative.
Qiao Lizi said, "Don't blame Fubao. We were afraid that after he knew the truth, he would let it slip and damage Ertao's reputation, so we continued to speculate that his gift was an apology."
Little Fubao was not stupid. He understood what he heard. He put his hands on his hips and hummed, "So, auntie, you guys were all lying to me. You treated me like a child..."
Haha, everyone in Xu's shop laughed so hard: "You are a child anyway."
Aunt Xu then solemnly instructed him, "Fubao, this is your uncle Qiao's lifelong event. It hasn't happened yet, so you're not allowed to tell anyone. You can only tell anyone once it's finalized. Do you understand?"
A lifelong event?
It turns out that Uncle Qiao wanted to marry Sister Ertao!
Little Fubao was shocked. Little Fatty covered his mouth with his hand and nodded vigorously before asking, "So, if this goes through, Sister Er Tao will be my Aunt Qiao?"
Well, that's true, but...
"You're so quick to change your tune, kid! Don't yell like that again! Wait until things are settled, okay?" Aunt Xu warned her eldest grandson, "If you don't keep your mouth shut and your Uncle Qiao's marriage falls through, I'll confiscate all your private money."
Oh my God, grandma is so cruel!
"Yeah, yeah!" Little Fubao nodded quickly.
In order to protect his own private money, from that moment on, he has been careful in his words and actions, and he stayed at home very obediently to practice calligraphy and martial arts, and no longer went to play with Jiang Xiaozhu and the old military man's grandchildren.
She was afraid that if she had too much fun, she would blurt out Uncle Qiao's secret, which would prevent Uncle Qiao from marrying Er Taojie and make him a bachelor for the rest of his life.
He went too far, which worried the Xu and Qiao families. They thought he was ill and asked Xiao Baiying to take his pulse.
It turned out that he had no disease and was the whitest, plumpest and sturdiest child in Taifeng Town.
"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Bai Ying." Aunt Xu was relieved, paid Xiao Bai Ying's consultation fee, and saw her out.
……
The day after Xu Erjun and Qin Jie returned was the day Qin Xiaomi set to calculate the Dongyue dividends for several families.
On this day, several families were filled with joy.
Especially for Qin Liupo, this was the first time that the two daughters-in-law had received dividends since they came into the family. She had been waiting for the dividends since she got up in the morning to shock them.
After finally making it to the evening, several families finished their dinner early and went to Grandpa Qin's house together.
After everyone was present, they slammed the door and lit the lamppost. More than a dozen lights were lit at the same time, illuminating the Qin family's front shop.
Jingle Bell!
Qin Xiaomi shook the medicine bell, and the other families calmed down. Only Aunt Qin Liu kept chattering, "Eldest Wife, Second Wife, this bell rings to get everyone to be quiet. This is your first time participating in the dividend distribution, and I'm afraid you won't understand, so I'll teach you. You must listen carefully."
Qin Xiaomi was held back by Grandma Qin so that she didn't interrupt Grandma Qin Liu's pretense.
After Lu Jiu/Han Wanniang solemnly agreed and thanked Qin Liupo for her advice, Grandma Qin said, "Sixth brother's wife, be quiet. It's time to calculate the dividends."
"Yeah, yeah." Qin Liupo nodded immediately, not daring to say another word.
"Second uncle, Xiaogu, Dalang and others are not here this time, so the person who calculates the dividend accounts is Qin Mei." Qin Xiaomi gave this job to Qin Mei to let several families know Qin Mei's status.
Qin Mei had also been tempered by experience; she was neither timid nor hesitant, and quickly reported: "In the winter of the third year of Wuxing, the total profit of the Qin family workshop from the semi-official new dye was 31,600 taels."
In the winter month, the total profit of the new dyes reached a new high of 158,000 taels, but after the semi-government operation, the Qin family workshop only accounted for 20% of the profit.
Therefore, the total profit for the winter month is 31,600 taels.
"Only thirty thousand taels in full, with one thousand six hundred taels left as working capital for the workshop."
"Except for the five uncles' families, the remaining eight families will each receive half of the dividend, totaling 1,500 taels."
“Families with daughters should give one-tenth of the profits to their daughters, which is 150 taels…” After Qin Mei reported the accounts to several families, she handed the accounts to Grandpa and Grandma Qin: “Please check the accounts, are there any mistakes?” The two elders took the accounts, calculated the total, and nodded: “No, that’s the amount.”
Qin Mei asked again: "Do you have any questions? If so, please raise them immediately; if not, we will formally distribute the dividends."
"No, we accept this number." Several families nodded in agreement.
Qin Mei said: "Everyone has acknowledged this account, now the dividends will be distributed according to order."
"The Qin family came forward and distributed a dividend of 1,500 taels. After deducting the 150 taels from his daughter, Dongyue's dividend was a total of 1,350 taels... 1,000 taels of silver notes, and 350 taels for the two sons of silver and bronze."
"Here I come!" Granny Qin Liu immediately stepped forward and said to Qin Mei, "What do you mean by Qin Laoliu's family? You should say it's your parents' family. Don't yell at your own parents just because you have a feather."
"Mr. Qin, you talked nonsense when distributing dividends. You will be fined ten taels of silver as a demerit." Qin Mei immediately took ten taels of silver from the dividends, recorded the deducted dividends in a book, and put it into the public use of the workshop.
Qin Liupo was so angry that she fell backwards and pointed at Qin Mei, wanting to throw a tantrum, but she knew that throwing a tantrum would only result in having her money deducted, so she had to swallow her anger and take the dividend.
Lu Jiu/Han Wanniang: "..."
My mother-in-law is so brave. She dared to make trouble over such a big issue as dividends. She deserves to have her dividends deducted.
He was also shocked by the power that the Qin family gave to Qin Mei... They actually let an unmarried girl take charge of the account books and distribute the profits to several families.
Girls from the Qin, Jiang, Xu, and Qiao families can also get dividends. It’s not just a rumor, but a true story!
The money is given directly to the girl and her parents are not allowed to touch it.
Just this, let alone Lu Jiu, even Han Wanniang, who was very much loved at home, found it unbelievable.
How could Mr. Qin be so brave?
He said he would give the girl dividends and he would never compromise with his elders or secular conventions.
Instead, it made the elders and secular conventions bow to her.
Han Wanniang felt happy just thinking about being able to make her mother-in-law bow her head.
She put her hand again and quietly touched her belly... She didn't know whether she was pregnant or not, but at this moment, she just wanted to say to her future child: My baby, mother has found a good family for you.
What's more, the Qin family didn't treat their brides as outsiders, but allowed them to participate in such a big dividend event.
Well, aren't you afraid that they will be blinded by money, become dissatisfied, and plot to cause trouble?
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin were worried about this, but Qin Xiaomi said: Demonstration with people, allowing them to clearly understand the gap between the two sides, is an excellent way to conquer their hearts and minds and win them over.
If Lu Jiu, Han Wanniang, or Qin Ying and Qin Jie still wanted to be relatives of the Qin family, they would not and dared not have any bad thoughts.
If they have such evil thoughts, that would be a good thing. The Qin family can take the opportunity to sever ties with Qin Liupo's family and completely get rid of this relative.
In short, you'd better observe martial ethics, otherwise Qin Xiaomi will let you know what it means to be unethical.
And Qin Xiaomi is not just dealing in new dyes.
In the end, the new dye business will inevitably be taken over by the imperial court.
Therefore, there is no need to hide too much from the new daughter-in-law about a deal that is bound to end.
What really needs to be kept secret is the accounts of the medicinal materials workshop... This is Qin Xiaomi's personal thing. Not to mention Lu Jiu and Han Wanniang, even Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin don't know the specific account details?
"Qin Dashi's family... and Ertao's personal dividend is 150 taels."
"Qin Dayan's family..."
"Jiang Ying's family..."
