In fact, Gu Chengyu had already thought of this, so he never proposed to separate the family.
First, because he, the third brother, and the fourth brother had always relied on the eldest brother and the second brother in the family, so he wanted to make up for it. Second, if he could make money but proposed to separate the family, he would inevitably be considered unsympathetic and unsympathetic.
Even Father Gu might think so. After all, they are both his biological sons. Thirdly, he is a human being and has to consider his own reputation.
So no matter what, he couldn't propose family separation.
Just as Lin Li said this, Dad Gu also thought about it. The second brother proposed it to him when the family was separated. He couldn't let Xiaobao take the blame! At this time, everyone happened to be here, and Dad Gu planned to divide the family.
Tell me about the origin of your home.
"I'm really sorry for bothering you all to come to my house so late. My Gu family is splitting up today, so I thank you all for coming. I don't have time to eat today. I'll put a table at home in the next few days. Please be kind to me.
I want to be honored!" Father Gu is not someone who has never seen the world, and he can also say a few words on the spot.
"As the saying goes, when a Taoist tree branches, people divide their families. There are many people in this family, and it is common for families to separate. Years ago, the family discussed the matter of family separation. Now that everyone in the family is here, we simply
It’s time to separate! His mother and I are not young anymore, and we don’t have the energy to take care of this big family anymore, so it’s better to separate our families!”
Father Gu felt a little sad as he spoke. In fact, who doesn't want to have children and grandchildren? Which family in the village doesn't live together?
"What Chang Qing said makes sense. We all have different temperaments, and there will always be disagreements between brothers. It would be better to separate the families. From now on, we can take care of our own affairs and save ourselves the trouble! What do you think?" Although Uncle Gu
I don’t know why Father Gu is so eager to separate the family, but this does not prevent him from standing with his third brother. Considering that this big family is not born from the same mother, there must be a lot of trouble living together, so it is better to separate early.
Well done!
The other three people didn't have any objections after hearing this. After all, this was a family matter. Even the head of the family wanted to separate the family. What else could they say? Besides, who doesn't know the situation of the Gu family?
"I have no objection to the third uncle of the Gu family and the uncle of the Lin family. How about you tell me how your family is divided? Let's also be a witness." Lin Lizheng was actually curious about the Gu family's background. This time, he knew the Gu family's background openly.
Everyone in the village said that the Gu family had made a fortune, but they didn't know if it was true.
"That's it! Xiaobao! Show that document to Li Zheng!"
Afterwards, Mr. Gu went through all the things in the house and put the banknotes on the kang again.
Lin Lizheng and Uncle Gu were both stunned, dear! How much silver is this? More than three thousand taels of silver? They have never seen so much silver in their lives.
When Li Zheng saw so much money, he almost couldn't control the greed in his heart. Then when he heard about the Gu family's soap business, he became even more jealous. He knew about that soap, even the worst soap in town.
It sells for five cents of silver a piece, not to mention expensive ones. No wonder the Gu family has so much silver.
How great would it be if he had a share in this soap business? Li Zheng felt that he could hardly suppress the greed in his heart. This thing could really be hidden! The village didn't even hear a word about it.
"The soap will wait until the silver is collected at the end of the year, and then it will be divided equally among everyone, according to the head of the house. If anyone wants to withdraw the silver, he can withdraw it in advance, but the maximum cannot exceed five hundred taels. The flower field is still used for making soap at home, and I won't say anything now.
We’ll decide who to give it to later. Let’s agree first that everyone should make the soap, but we can’t be lazy. Whoever doesn’t do it won’t get any money!”
Father Gu asked Gu Chengyu to add all these on top. It was better to write them down in advance, otherwise he would have to act like a monster in the future.
"Dad! This soap can't guarantee good profits every year! We even gave Mr. Wang a share! If Mr. Wang wants to bring other noble people into partnership in the future, then we may have less money! We can borrow it every year
Is five hundred taels too much?"
When Gu Chengyu saw that Lin Lizheng had just heard that the soap was made by the Gu family, his facial expression twisted, and the greed in his eyes was clear. Maybe he was thinking about calculating the recipe for soap at this moment! So he immediately took out Mr. Wang
Come with the nobles to dispel Lin Lizheng's thoughts.
No, it would be too dangerous to have Li Zheng who wants to plot against their family at any time. Li Zheng knows the current situation, but he is also the most greedy. We have to find a way to stop him. We are not afraid of thieves stealing, but they are worried about them.
ah!
"That's right! Then three hundred taels! It's still when there is income from soap. If the soap business disappears, don't think about it."
Gu Chengyi was a little dissatisfied. Why was there no profit? Could it be that Lao Wu wanted to take it all for himself? Humph! He wanted San Lang to keep an eye on them.
When Lin Lizheng heard that there were noble people involved, he retreated a little, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't stand the temptation of money, so he was ready to find an opportunity to get involved again!
The third uncle and Uncle Lin are old, and although they are shocked by the Gu family's wealth, it is their family's wealth, and they can only envy them. Moreover, they don't go to town, and no one in the family can afford it.
I didn’t know soap was so expensive! They don’t even know what soap is!
"Chang Qing! The family fortune has been divided, and you have left a lot of money, but who knows what will happen in the future? These kids still need some pension money! No matter how hard it is, they still need to give them some food rations!
"The third uncle is from the Gu clan, so of course he sincerely cares about Father Gu and his wife.
"Third uncle! I have left money for retirement. Let's do this! From now on, one hundred kilograms of food rations will be given to each house every year! The fourth and fifth children will be given after they get married!"
Dad Gu thought about it for a while. The money will eventually run out, so rations are more reliable. With rations, he won't be afraid of starving to death!
"Yes! As long as you are willing!" Third uncle nodded.
"Xiaobao! Add this to the list, and that's it. Do you have anything else to say?" Father Gu looked at his sons and looked at Gu Chengyi emphatically.
"Dad! Do you want to file it with the government to separate the family?" Gu Chengyi took a deep breath and decided that it would be better to propose it.
Uncle Lin and the others were a little surprised. Why did the Gu family want to divide it so thoroughly? You must know that ordinary farmers divide their families but not their households. Although the taxation of the Dayan Dynasty was based on the number of people and acres of land,
However, when serving as a corvee, each family only needed to contribute one son, which was much more cost-effective than a household.
Uncle Lin was Lin Lizheng's head kin. He and Lin Lizheng looked at each other, and the Gu family was really in a panic because of their money.
When the third uncle heard this, he hit the floor tiles with the crutch he was leaning on. Originally, if the family was separated so early, he would always be criticized if word spread about it. But now a junior is mentioning the family separation? Did he not put his father in the house?
In your eyes, you still don’t take the entire Gu family into consideration?
