Chen Yuan slammed the table.

He drank the tea in front of him in one gulp.

"Huzi, go close the door."

Hu Zi said "eh", in fact, he was also curious about how much money he earned, was it a little over 5,000?

Still not enough five thousand?

If the money is really less than 5,000, after deducting the cost price, the four of them would have come in vain.

But it was a thrilling experience. Saving my life was worth it.

After closing the door, Chen Yuan dipped his finger in tea and wrote this shocking number on the table.

Chen Yuan didn't write down a single number.

All three of them exclaimed.

Until Chen Yuan withdrew his hand.

He pointed at the numbers on the table and said to the three people.

"So many? How do you think we should divide it?"

The three of them stared at the numbers on the table for a long time, unable to come back to their senses.

Chen Yuan said again.

"Don't be silly, you're all like idiots. Brother Hu and I have discussed this."

"We've already agreed with Hu Ge that we'll each split the money, 50/50, in addition to the cost. Hu Dabao and Shouhou went to Haizhou City specifically for our business, so their remuneration shouldn't be less."

"That's how it should be. That's how it should be."

Li Shanghai nodded. He was the first to come to his senses.

His mind was blank, but he absolutely had no objection to Chen Yuan keeping his promise.

Hu Dabao and Shouhou were powerful. In the commune, Hu Dabao was Zhao Qingjian's nephew. He was also the commune's hired driver, so he had more information than the four of them combined.

The skinny monkey’s official identity is still unknown, but it’s probably not far off.

We agreed to split it into two, so we split it into two.

"I've decided to give them 500 yuan each. I promised them this. Do you understand?"

Chen Yuan asked for opinions from three people.

The three of them nodded their heads to the ground, like chicks pecking at rice.

"I understand, I understand. Even if you don't say it, Brother Yuan, we understand."

"As long as you know."

"After splitting it in two, there's about 23,000 yuan left. This money will be our wages for the four of us."

"Why does Brother Yuan have so many?"

Gou Wa counted on his fingers but still couldn't figure it out.

Look at how stupid Gou Wa is.

Chen Yuan was very disappointed with his friend.

"Da Hai, you should teach Gou Wa arithmetic. He counts on his fingers every day. Isn't he a laughing stock outside?"

Li Shanghai chuckled and patted Gou Wa's forehead.

"Did you hear what Brother Yuan said? Pick up the abacus and play it well. I'll check it every three days. If you can't play it, I won't play with you."

Gou Wa stuck out his tongue.

"Brother Yuan, Master, I know I was wrong. I've been slacking off these past few days. I'll go back and fight hard."

What Chen Yuan actually wanted to say was that it wouldn't be long before calculators became popular all over the world and would fall into the hands of ordinary people like them.

With a calculator, Gou Wa no longer has to count or suck his fingers.

"Here's what I'm thinking: 23,000 yuan. The four of us went through a lot of trouble for this. You three almost lost your lives. I came all the way here. Let's split it evenly among the four of us."

When Chen Yuan said the word "equally divided", the three of them widened their eyes and looked at Chen Yuan.

"That's not good, Brother Yuan, you work so hard, why don't you share it with us?"

"That's right! Brother Yuan, how can we split it equally with you?"

"Brother Yuan, listen to me and stick to the previous plan."

"Alright, alright, stop talking. I've made a decision and I've got to get it done. If I tell you to split it up, just split it up. Why are you all so long-winded? Don't you all like money? Or what?"

Li Shanghai smiled.

"I like money! How could I not like money? We work so hard and risk our lives doing this, isn't it just for money?"

"Then why are you being so polite?! You already have a wife and a child, and the child is a newborn boy. I think you will have to spend a lot of money to raise the child in the future. If you have another girl or a boy, how heavy will the burden be on you?"

"After dividing the 20,000 yuan, each person would probably only get a little over 5,000 yuan, which isn't much."

In later times, this would be a month's salary.

But now, it is a huge sum of money.

I heard Chen Yuan say that there wasn’t much.

Li Shanghai curled his lips.

"Brother Yuan, you've really developed a big appetite. Isn't five thousand too much?"

“I haven’t even saved a thousand dollars yet.”

"I've spent all my money! Five thousand yuan. Let me tell you, if everyone in this family worked as a worker in the city, if they were all eighth-grade workers, they would only earn five thousand yuan in their lifetime."

Chen Yuan opened his mouth and felt emotional.

Yes!

Times are changing rapidly. Now everyone believes that 5,000 yuan is the savings earned by a family's hard work.

But ten years later, five thousand yuan is nothing.

As time goes.

These five thousand yuan can't even buy one square meter of toilet.

Chen Yuan came back to his senses.

"Da Hai, Gou Wa, Hu Zi, the four of us have similar backgrounds, but we each have our own hardships."

"It's fate that we're all together. This trip to Haizhou City, after going through life and death, will strengthen the bond between the four of us brothers."

"If you want to get along here in the future, you must stick together for warmth. Maybe you don't understand what I mean now, but I want to tell you that I am willing to share it with you equally because I treat you as brothers."

Chen Yuan's heartfelt words shocked Li Shanghai and the others.

Li Shanghai expressed his opinion first.

"Brother Yuan, I've long considered you my brother. You saved me the first time, so you're my benefactor. I'm willing to go through fire and water for you now, not just for the money."

Chen Yuan nodded.

Of course he knew what Li Shanghai meant.

Gou Wa is not good at speaking and stutters.

"Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan... I believe in you and Master. Following you two, my life has improved, and my family's life has gotten better, too."

"Although I don't dare take all the money back, I can still bring them some extra meat and food when I drive back from outside. The whole family is grateful to me."

Gou Wa is simple and honest, and his words are very touching.

Not to mention Hu Zi.

He is a sworn brother to Chen Yuan.

The three of them pursed their lips.

"Brother Yuan, even though you're willing to split it equally among the three of us, we still have to follow some rules."

"Let's split it equally this time, and we can discuss the future later."

This is also what Chen Yuan and Hu Dabao said.

Society is not yet completely stable and the country is still exploring better economic methods.

Chen Yuan believes that fairness can increase the solidity of small groups.

Besides, everyone needs to accumulate funds, and Chen Yuan already has a lot of money.

Add to this more than 5,000 yuan, and the money I saved before.

Chen Yuan is almost achieving his goal of becoming a ten thousand yuan household.

He is not greedy.

"Stop talking! If you three can persuade me to change my mind, you three are really capable."

Chen Yuan's words convinced the three of them.

indeed!

What Chen Yuan decided to do was so difficult that not only the three of them, but even three oxen couldn't stop him.

"The money is still with Hu Dabao, and he can't keep it anymore. In addition to discussing this with you, I also want to remind you to set up a confidential cabinet or box at home."

"At least they need to put a lock on it. Counting all this money, there must be at least 500 bills. With 500 Great Unity bills out in the open, how can you not be worried?"
