Chapter 862
Tian Tian understood Grandma Tang's meaning—she didn't want the sales channels to be controlled by others, but how could she ensure that the most critical seedling channels were foolproof?
That naturally involves the entanglement of interests.
But she...
Thinking of this, Tian Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
What entanglement of interests did she have with Song Tan?
Since they met, the other party's family had always been kind to her, pulling her along. The other party didn't harp on it, but she understood everything in her heart.
Now hearing Grandma Tang say this, Tian Tian put down the sweet potato and said solemnly:
"Then what do you mean..."
"What could I mean?" The old lady's hair was combed meticulously, with a simple bun at the nape. She wore a pair of exceptionally bright pearl earrings, and her close-fitting gray wool sweater had a slightly high collar, with a pearl necklace of excellent luster around the collar.
And in that stylish and fashionable outfit, she wore an old-fashioned floral cotton vest, which clashed strongly with the style, but it didn't cover up the unique spirit of the old lady when she spoke.
Ah, this, Tian Tian was a bit stuck: "The salary here isn't high..."
Fei Han:... It's not that it can't be, but isn't this line a bit off?
"Little Xiong, did you think I wanted to help Tian Tian trick an employee over here earlier? No wonder you look so rough; your mind just isn't nimble. Tell the truth, is the family really lacking this girl?"
I just look a bit healthy, where am I rough? Also, why call me Little Xiong?
As for how to follow Old Song... that doesn't need to be said, right?
"I've been teaching for so many years and have seen no less than you all, but whenever it involves the interests of many people, even the best relationships will have gaps."
Zhang Yanping:??? No, even if you say what you want, why the personal attack?
"But what about your parents? Both palms are flesh; they understand the logic, but their hearts might not necessarily accept it. Besides, I know that rural elders have a rule in their hearts—they rely on their sons for old age."
"Using the family's land and the family's people to make money, it's only right that this money doesn't distinguish between you and me."
"I am Tian Ye's biological sister; our bond is real. Now that I can make money, I am willing to take on the family."
As for whether eating too much will make one fart... oh my, just go for a walk in the fields after eating! That little pink padded jacket is quite warm, not afraid of the cold.
Once this was said, all of Song Tan's defensive words were stuck in her mouth, and for a moment, she couldn't spit them out. Brothers still fight over two acres of land; could any family involved in money be harmonious without a bit of selfishness?
Thinking of this, the stifled feeling from just now was swept away, and the long-standing gloom between her brows disappeared; the whole person seemed like the pearls the old lady was wearing, radiating a warm and firm luster from the inside out.
She was beautiful, yet the whole room was silent.
"Your family feels that you have been worrying about everything inside and out for so many years. You put in the labor, so it's only right that you take the money."
But before he could defend himself, he heard Grandma Tang say earnestly: "Song Tan, I asked you to come to work to learn some skills, not for Fei Han—you haven't started a family yet; once you get married, you'll know that people are naturally selfish."
"You can be considerate of your family, but you can't start by taking everything upon yourself."
Song Tan was stunned, subconsciously understanding what Grandma Tang was about to say.
"But the things I learn are my own; in the future, when I start a family and establish a career, the land that belongs to me will also be mine."
The elders' concept is: if a family has sons and daughters but still relies on the daughter for old age, it will be laughed at if it gets out.
Professor Song looked up at Tian Tian, thinking to himself that she wasn't that capable now either.
She pointed to Professor Song, who was silent beside her: "Learn more from Old Song; he has no other skills in his life, but how to farm? How to make money from the land? He is the best at it."
Just like that, the employment was settled in a sloppy and strange way. When everyone was happily holding their sweet potatoes and eating again, Zhang Yanping couldn't help but give Grandma Tang a thumbs up: "You, if you weren't a teacher, no matter which company you did HR for, you would definitely reach the top level!"
Because of this concept, when dividing the family property, it was only natural that the better things went to the son.
Grandma Tang hummed, and in the little room in front of her, everyone sat together, warm and harmonious; her words also contained a lot of warmth:
She pondered for a moment and looked directly at Tian Tian: "If I start working now, is food and lodging included? How much is the salary? How is the holiday calculated?"
After the old lady finished speaking, she lowered her head and peeled the skin off the roasted sweet potato in a leisurely manner, then continued to eat her sweet potato—
As long as she worked at Tian Tian's house, wasn't she picking up such a teacher for free?
Song Tan frowned in silence, and the others couldn't say anything more, only able to wait for her to think silently.
Fortunately, Song Tan was ultimately a decisive Song Tan, and at this moment, she took a big bite of the sweet potato and made up her mind:
"Now you and your brother are close, you carry the family on your shoulders, and the money earned isn't divided; whoever needs it uses it—but what about when you get married? What about when your brother gets married?"
Seeing that the talent she liked was about to jump into her bowl, Tian Tian looked at Grandma Tang with admiring eyes.
"Once you have learned solid skills, even if you can't buy seedlings in the future, the ones you cultivate will definitely be of higher quality than others'."
Will she and Tian Ye be like this in the future?
"By the same token, your brother is the same—don't say you won't get married; if you don't get married, won't your brother?"
And Song Tan also understood.
"I'll just give a suggestion: a young girl shouldn't always be cooped up at home farming—how much land can your family have? Let your parents and family help tidy it up; if they can't handle it, hire a few people to do it."
"What you need to do is improve yourself."
"Once you get married, you have to put your energy into your own small family; otherwise, it's easy for couples to have gaps."
When Grandma Tang said this, her expression was peaceful and tolerant, also carrying deep understanding: "I'm telling you these things not to put a knot in your heart, but to let you know—close brothers should keep clear accounts."
"Your brother's family feels that the land is the family's, the favors are the family's, and even the work is the family's... why should you be the only one taking the lion's share?"
Song Tan also smiled sweetly: "I know, I'm here to learn skills, so I definitely can't have a high salary like the professionals—how about this, I need four days off every month, and a salary of 3500 is fine. You tell me what work to do here, is that okay?"
Grandma Tang looked at her expression and sighed:
So fragrant! So sweet! This is the third one!
Grandma Tang truly appreciated that girl, and at this moment, she smiled: "With your spirit, if you make money from farming, I'm afraid you won't just guard that little bit of land for the rest of your life, right?"
