Chapter 138 Dishonesty

Zhou Lang threatened Wu Lang, "Mom, you are not allowed to talk about this, otherwise I will beat you."

Wuwu Lang snorted and ran straight to Man Bao after returning home. He wouldn't tell his mother, but he could tell Man Bao.

Manbao is teaching everyone how to read in the yard. Now Datou and the others have learned a lot of Chinese characters and can also do some simple arithmetic.

Man Bao felt that Datou and the others looked a little smarter than before, and smarter than the children in the village. Keke was indeed right, reading and writing can make people wise.

Man Bao was very happy to see Fifth Brother and greeted him, "Fifth Brother, hurry up and learn the characters. Now Datou knows more characters than you."

Wu Lang had a headache and hesitated whether to turn around and run away. He hated reading and reading!

Zhou Lang had already taken the money to report to Mr. Qian, and handed it over to the businessman. Wu Lang took one look at it and said a few words in Man Bao's ear.

Man Bao then told Zhou Lang and others, "Write the words I taught you ten times first, and I will come back and ask you later."

After that, he and Friday Lang ran to the room.

Mrs. Qian was counting the money, and when she saw Man Bao coming in, she waved, "Come, help me count the money, and also calculate whether your fourth brother's account is correct."

Zhou Lang felt a little guilty when he saw Man Bao, especially when he saw Wu Lang also coming in, he felt even more guilty.

Qian glanced at him and pulled Man Bao to count the money.

Man Bao counts money very quickly. After counting a hundred coins, he strings them together and counts them out quickly.

There are eighteen strings in total, and the remaining fragments contain thirty-eight articles.

Qian was mentally prepared when she poured the money out of the bag, but she was still startled. She thought for a moment and said, "Jiang makes so much money?"

Zhou Lang whispered: "Mom, I won't be able to sell so much next time, so next time I think it's enough to bring twenty pounds."

This time, he and Lao Wu carried a backpack on their backs. There were about twenty kilograms in each backpack.

Today's prices are also very high, ranging from 45 to 48 cents.

It was also because the unit price was uncertain and even the person in charge, Zhou Lang, could not calculate the exact amount of money earned, so he had the courage to withhold the money.

Man Bao raised his head, glanced at him, and asked, "Fourth brother, what price did you sell Jiang for? You can tell me what price you're selling it for, and I'll do the math to see if it's right."

Zhou Lang whispered: "I don't remember. This one costs one catty. If you don't bargain well, it's more expensive. That shop costs three or two catties. If you bargain hard, it's cheaper. I can't remember it."

Man Bao glanced at him, snorted inwardly, and then looked at Qian, "Mom, this money belongs not only to the fourth brother, but also to me, the fifth brother, and the sixth brother. Let us share the money."

Mr. Qian nodded and said: "Okay, then follow the rules. Pay 60% to the father first, and you divide the remaining money between you. The fourth child's share will be used to pay back the money."

Zhou Lang didn't expect that he would have to calculate like this in the end. This was different from the algorithm he got back earlier.

He felt something was wrong. He counted the numbers on his fingers and said, sweating profusely: "Mom, this won't work. I don't have much money left to pay the debt to the father-in-law. So how long do I have to pay back the debt? At the beginning,

That's not what you and dad said, that all the harvest from the land I reclaimed belongs to me."

It was because Manbao and the others helped. Manbao produced the seeds, and Lao Wu Lao Liu and Da Tou helped to clear the land. They worked together when planting, weeding, and fertilizing. They didn't miss anything, so

He has no objection to sharing the harvest with them, but then giving it to the family...

Zhou Lang was not happy.

Qian glanced at him and said, "It's okay if you don't hand over the land to the public. You opened up this land, but in two months your Dingtian will be planted. By then, no matter what you plant in the land, the harvest will be public."

Yes, this has to be done according to the rules."

Zhou Lang has no objection.

Qian asked Zhou Lang, "How do you want to divide this money?"

Man Bao raised his little hand and said: "We have already discussed it before planting. I am the one who produced the ginger seeds, so the fourth brother and I will get the same share, two and a half for each person, and the fifth and sixth brothers will get one share each."

The two shares are divided equally between the big-headed Ya and the two-headed Erya, and the remaining one is divided equally between the sellers."

Qian looked at Zhou Lang and frowned. The fourth brother's share was too little, right?

Zhou Lang did not feel that this allocation was not good. This was the share that was decided before their wasteland was opened. It was also because of this that Lao Wu and the others worked so hard when opening up the wasteland.

Qian pushed the money to Man Bao and said, "Then you come and share it. Let's see how much your fourth brother can get."

Man Bao counted it on his fingers and said: "Five hundred and fifty-one cents."

Qian said: "Count them out."

Manbao counted it out obediently, and then Qian confiscated all of Zhoulang's money and said, "This counts as your return to the family."

Man Bao happily collected all the remaining money and planned to take it out to share it with everyone. Unexpectedly, Qian looked at them and said: "Everyone in the family has to pay 60% of the money they earn to the public. You four

Brother, you don’t have to pay because your father and I have an agreement beforehand, and he still has to repay the debt, so there are special exceptions, but you can’t."

Man Bao was stunned, and so was the delighted Wu Lang. They both looked at Qian in confusion, feeling a little sad for no reason.

But Zhou Lang couldn't help but burst out laughing, feeling so happy.

Zhou Lang and Man Bao stared at him, and Zhou Lang covered his mouth, but he still couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Qian looked at this silly son helplessly. He had to rely on Manbao to settle accounts, and he had to rely on Lao Wu Lao Liu when he went out to sell things. What good could he do by offending people like this?

But she didn't say anything.

Manbao reluctantly calculated 60% of the remaining money and gave it to Qian, and then went out with the greatly reduced money.

Wu Lang followed behind.

The children in the yard have long been distracted. They know that Yaomei (sister-in-law) went in to count the money. Does this mean they can divide the money?

Man Bao walked to the yard, waved his hand, and said to everyone: "Let's go and share the money."

The children cheered and surrounded her to the thatched shed next to the woodshed, which is now the residence of Wu Lang and his family. They usually divide the money in their room.

With Manbao here, everyone quickly divided the money according to their previous shares.

After dividing the money, Manbao collected all the money that was due, and then looked at Zhou Lang who was watching the excitement.

Wu Lang also looked at his fourth brother.

Zhou Lang couldn't help but take a step back and asked: "You, why do you look at me like this?"

Man Bao snorted, pointed at him and said, "You are dishonest. Honesty comes first. If you are so bad, who will do business with you or partner with you in the future?"

Zhou Lang knew that Wu Lang had told Man Bao about the matter. He rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't want to lie to you."

He lowered his voice and said: "The money is going to be shared with you. I guessed that Mom would definitely ask us to hand it over to the public servants to keep it. Otherwise, can I let the fifth child see it?"
