Chapter 338: Distribution

The after-sales service was done properly. After the machine was installed and confirmed to be working normally, they returned.

Having earned another sum of money, everyone was full of energy, and much of their exhaustion had faded.

As soon as Ye Yaodong returned, he called Ye Chenghai to go fetch A Zheng and Xiao Xiao to split the money.

He even specially gave him two cents as walking money, which made Ye Chenghai so happy he did a somersault with his hands on the ground.

Clang, clang, clang~ With a sound, all the coins in his pocket fell out.

"Hmm? Where did you get so many coins?"

Ye Yaodong was surprised; there were many one or two-cent coins.

Ye Chenghai hurriedly picked up all the coins into his pocket, then grinned and said, "I won these!"

"You're gambling!" Ye Yaodong glared, "Not learning the good, but learning the bad, and gambling at that. You're really going to be hung up and beaten. I'm telling your mother."

Ye Fu also frowned.

"Ah, no, no... I won these playing marbles. Others exchanged coins for marbles with me!"

Ye Yaodong and Ye Fu looked at him suspiciously.

"Really, one cent for 7 marbles! I played marbles during recess these past two days and won several dozen. I won them all out, so they bought them from me with money. In the shop, one cent only gets five, so I gave them two extra."

"Good fellow, you have a way of making money!"

"That's right!" Ye Chenghai said triumphantly, "After winning all their marbles back, I sold them to them, and then I won them back again. That's how I earned so many coins."

"Since you have so much money, give the two cents back to me."

Ye Chenghai covered his pocket tightly and looked at him vigilantly, "This is my walking money, how can you go back on your word?"

After saying that, he hurried off to call people, lest his third uncle go back on his word.

When everyone arrived, Ye Yaodong scattered the handful of banknotes on the table. A Zheng and Xiao Xiao also perked up, but they didn't reach out, just watched.

"How much did you sell it for?"

"Guess!"

"200!"

"That's the second-hand price you bought it for, right? How could it be that high when selling?"

"Also true, then 170 or 180?"

"Maybe only 160 or 170."

The two of them discussed it, one sentence each.

"Damn it, the repairman in the village said 150, and I didn't even bother with him. It just so happened someone came to the door saying they wanted to buy..."

Ye Yaodong described the bidding process between the two vividly.

"No middleman to earn the price difference, sold for 210."

Xiao Xiao said pleasantly, "Not bad! Business delivered to your door automatically."

A Zheng also said happily, "The promotion from the fight this afternoon was effective."

"Alright, let's split the money."

"How many shares?" They looked at Ye Fu, Ye Mu, Lin Fu, and Lin Mu beside them, as well as a few half-grown children.

Ye Yaodong also looked, chased the few small ones out, leaving only a few older ones, and then said, "Five shares. My father and my father-in-law each count as one share; they also put in the effort."

"Doesn't your eldest nephew count as a head?"

"No need, no need, he's just a child, just joining in the fun. I was also just bringing him along, I didn't do anything..." Lin Fu hurriedly waved his hand and spoke up.

"How could you say you didn't do anything? Your role was huge. It was precisely because there was one more strong laborer like you, 3.5 against 3, that they felt timid. They ran away as soon as they saw us. Otherwise, my father and I would have been chased by them from the start."

Ye Fu nodded, "Dongzi is right."

Xiao Xiao thought for a moment, looked at Ye Yaodong and A Zheng, and said, "Counting us, there are five people. 40 each. The extra ten yuan goes directly to your eldest nephew! He worked quite hard too, can't let him work for nothing."

"Why look at me? I definitely agree. My own family is taking advantage."

This was simple arithmetic; they could still calculate it mentally. If it were the kind of complex one that wasn't divisible and had large numbers, it would be difficult.

Hearing this, Lin Guangyuan's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "I have a share too!"

Lin Fu glared at him. He still stretched his neck to watch. At this moment, he was more concerned about how it was distributed than just now, since he had at least been nominated.

Ye Chenghai said enviously on the side, "If I had known, I would have shamelessly followed Third Uncle last night."

"It's good enough to be able to go." Ye Chengjiang wasn't picky; as long as he could go, he was satisfied.

"You few, stop arguing!" Ye Mu shouted at them, and they immediately fell silent.

A Zheng also had no opinion on the distribution issue, shrugged his shoulders, "Just like this. Splitting by head count is fair. Your eldest nephew also worked hard, going on the field yesterday and again today."

"Alright, then I won't be polite. Everyone count your own."

Ye Yaodong first took 4 big unity notes for his father-in-law, then took 4 for his father. After they finished counting the rest, he scooped up all the remaining small notes.

"Aren't you counting, Dongzi?" Xiao Xiao asked.

"Count what? It was taken out of my pocket, could I be afraid you'd take more?"

"Little Uncle-in-law? Hehe~" Lin Guangyuan chuckled honestly.

"Oh! Almost forgot your share."

Ye Yaodong counted out another ten yuan of small notes and handed them to him. When he reached out to take them, he passed him and handed them to Lin Fu instead.

Lin Guangyuan widened his eyes and looked from left to right. Until the money fell into his grandfather's hands, he didn't dare to make a sound.

Ye Chenghai laughed and said, "Third Uncle is so mean."

Lin Fu chuckled and said embarrassedly, "This... is this too much? We really didn't do anything..."

"Ayuan worked very hard. His hard work cannot go uncounted. Take it."

Lin Fu glanced at Lin Guangyuan before putting the money away.

Looking at his grandfather's expression, Lin Guangyuan always felt a bit of an ominous premonition.

"Alright, the loot is split. You all go back to your homes and sleep early. I'm going back to my room to sleep too, I'm exhausted."

"Don't know if we can go out to sea tonight. Everyone get enough rest. We're leaving first."

After people left, Ye Mu confiscated the money in Ye Fu's hand that hadn't even warmed up yet and stuffed it into her pocket.

Ye Fu looked at his empty hands and said depressedly, "Can't you leave me some?"

"They're all big unity notes, how can I leave you any? You stay on the sea every day, where would you spend it? You smoke water pipes, not cigarettes. Three cents to buy an iron box is enough for you to smoke for half a month."

While speaking, she touched her pocket again, took out a few one or two-cent coins, and put them on the table, "Only these left, do you want them?"

"Want."

One cent is also money!

Ye Fu picked them up one by one and put them in his pocket. Better than nothing. Who told the women in the village to be able to hold up half the sky? In this village, more than half of the households were managed by women.

"Mother, continue to go to the door to help kill the seabirds. Just stew half tonight. Have those shellfish been sorted?"

Because his father-in-law's family hadn't eaten it before, Ye Yaodong specially left one gannet, preparing to stew half and let them take the other half back tomorrow, so others could taste it too.

The rest were sold. Of course, this money belonged to his father-in-law, after all, it was all caught by Lin Guangyuan.

The two elders had stayed for two days and earned quite a bit of money, and they were both very happy.

"I'll stew the seabirds later, then I'll go help sort."

"Oh."

Ye Yaodong ignored Lin Guangyuan's resentful gaze, floated into the room to hand over the money, and went to hold his daughter.

Who puts so much money in a child's hands?

Seeing him come in, Lin Xiuqing also propped up her body with her arms and leaned back, "Distributed?"

"Distributed. 40 yuan each. You count these small notes."

"You count them yourself. If it's correct, put it in the drawer first. In another 5-6 days, I'll finish my confinement. I'll put it away then. Anyway, no outsiders come into the room."

Lin Xiuqing was becoming more and more at ease with him now.

"Oh."

He casually put the money in the drawer, which already had quite a bit of money in it. ===== CHAPTER 339 =====
