Volume 2, Chapter 217: Dividends
Shangguan Ruoli still disguised herself as a man and went to the secret prostitute to find Ke'er. She had to ask the matter clearly to see if someone was deliberately plotting against their family.
However, Ke'er has been ransomed!
It only lasted one night, and Ke'er was ransomed again.
Shangguan Ruoli frowned and asked, "Who redeemed her?"
The old madam, who was dressed in red and green, chuckled and said, "Sir, there are rules in the industry. We cannot disclose the information of our guests casually."
Shangguan Ruoli took out a ten-tael silver ingot, held it in his hand, and presented it to the old bustard.
The old bustard's eyes lit up, his smile turned into a flower, and he reached out to take it.
Shangguan Ruo closed his hands, took back the ingot, and looked at the old bustard expressionlessly.
The old bustard's smile froze, he looked at Shangguan Ruoli's expression, chuckled, and said, "I'm sorry, Sir, our rules cannot be broken."
It seems that he doesn't like these ten taels of silver anymore.
Shangguan Ruoli took out another fifty taels and put it in his hand.
A total of sixty taels, which is a considerable amount of money here.
The old madam laughed so hard that she lost all her bones in an instant, staring at the money in Shangguan Ruoli's hand with bright eyes, "I really don't know who the other party is, but Ke'er is very sick and has just lost her child. Someone wants to redeem her.
, I sold it for money."
After saying that, he reached out to grab the silver.
Shangguan Ruoli suddenly took back the money and said, "You didn't tell me who the person who redeemed Ke'er's life was."
Seeing that he couldn't deal with it, the old madam became really anxious, "I really don't know the name of that man, but I know that he is a gangster on the street in the county town. He has a black wrinkle on his face..."
Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Ruoli collected the money, turned around and left.
The old bustard became anxious and said angrily: "Stop! Catch him! How dare you plot against me!"
The thugs rushed out with knives in hand, but where was Shangguan Ruoli's shadow anywhere in the alley?
Shangguan Ruo left for Ke'er's home in Linxian County before rushing back. When he got home, everyone was having dinner. There were men at one table and women at one table.
Ling Yue quickly added a stool for her, "Mom, eat first."
"I'm going to get the bowls and chopsticks!" Wu Lang ran to the kitchen and soon brought the bowls and chopsticks over and placed them in front of Shangguan Ruoli.
Shangguan Ruoli touched his head and said, "Thank you, son."
Wulang pursed his lips and returned to his seat.
Mrs. Qian said: "Eat first."
Everyone continued to move their chopsticks and eat in silence. We were all rough people, and we didn’t have the rule of eating or sleeping. We usually talked and laughed while eating, but since Ke’er’s incident happened at home, the atmosphere became a bit solemn.
, and I don’t know what to say.
After finishing the meal, the tableware was removed and tea was served.
Old Man Dong took off the pipe pot from his belt and filled the pipe pot with tobacco leaves.
Mrs. Qian took a sip of coarse tea, put down the bowl, and asked Shangguan Ruoli, "How is it? Did the little vixen recruit?"
Shangguan Ruoli said: "I was ransomed this morning. I went to Ke'er's house. It was not someone from his family who ransomed her."
Dong Youyin raised his head in surprise, his eyes cold.
Mrs. Qian punched him and said: "You idiot! This is someone else's trap! There is someone else behind that vixen! That child must not be yours!"
Dong Youyin lowered his head, as if he was ready to be beaten or scolded.
Shangguan Ruoli continued: "The old bustard said that Ke'er was redeemed by a gangster in the county town with a black mark on his face."
Mrs. Qian snorted coldly and said, "It's the New Year's Eve tomorrow. Let's celebrate the New Year well. We won't talk about anything until the New Year."
Shangguan Ruoli said: "Erlang took his brothers to Dalang's wife's house for New Year greetings on the third day of the Lunar New Year. He asked his in-laws. He works in the yamen and should be aware of the gangsters on the street."
Dalang and Wu Wenhui cannot come back to celebrate the New Year. As younger brothers, Erlang and the others should go to their in-laws' homes to pay New Year's greetings.
The matter was settled just like that.
Old Man Dong clicked his pipe and said, "Let's reconcile the accounts of the dim sum shops this year and distribute the dividends to each shop."
Because of the expansion of business, I didn't make much money this year, and I still had to keep working capital. The two old people divided them 200 taels, 100 taels for each of the four houses.
The money Dong Youyin used to redeem Ke'er was all taken from the account. Not only did he not receive any dividends, he also owed Gongzhong more than two hundred taels.
Dongming Ziyu bought a shopkeeper who kept accounts, but Dongyouyin'er didn't fully understand the word "Yin", and he didn't have the ability to make a fuss about the accounts and so on.
Old Man Dong said in a deep voice: "The third child is not suitable to manage the shop. I will leave it to the boss in the future."
When Dong Youyin heard this, he became anxious, "Why?! This dim sum shop belongs to everyone, why don't you let me take care of it? Why do you put your name under the eldest brother's name? Just because he is the boss? I don't accept it!"
He has been performing extremely well these days, serving Sun's soup, caring for Shiro and Liuro, and wants to play a good father and husband to the extreme. He is just afraid that his family will not let him get involved in the business, so he still wants to kick him out.
!
Old Man Dong's old face hidden in the smoke was a little blurry, making it difficult to see his expression, "Since you are not convinced, then the dim sum shop will be transferred to your mother's name and used as her dowry private property. Then Erlang and Qilang will leave in the future
When taking the imperial examination, there is no need to transfer the ownership to others."
Dalang and Erlang are not materials for studying. In the past, there was no Qilang, and Dong Youtian was the boss, so the dim sum shop was put under his name. Now that Dong Youyin is not convinced, it should be converted into Mrs. Qian's dowry as soon as possible.
Dowry is private property and cannot be regarded as family business. It is most fair that several children will have a share in it in the future.
Dong Youyin said angrily: "Then you can't let me take care of things! I've already changed, why don't you let me take care of things? Mother said it, how can you not keep your word?"
Old Man Dong said: "You can take care of things, but you can stay out of things that can make you money. In this way, you can just transport the snacks made at home to the surrounding shops every day!"
Dong Youyin placed the tea bowl heavily on the table, "Then what's the difference between me and a porter?! I won't do it!"
Mrs. Qian said angrily: "If you don't do anything, just farm at home so you don't have to be embarrassed when you go out!"
Dong Youyin sneered and said with tears in his eyes: "You have looked down on me since I was a child! You just want to throw me away! Now that I have made a small mistake, let me go out and be embarrassed to see others! You are still my father
Mother?"
Wrongful, angry, sad, wanting to hit someone!
Mrs. Qian gasped in anger, "Now our family has no face to see anyone. Even the marriage of your second aunt's children has been affected! How dare you feel wronged?! If I don't teach you a lesson, you can't remember the pain."
!”
Dong Youyin wiped his tears and suddenly realized something. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Dongming Ziyu, "My parents can't come up with such an idea. It's you. You want to kick me away, right?"
?Yes or no?!"
