837 Distribution Problem

A customer saw the anxious peddler and asked, “Are you here to buy seeds too?”

The peddler was stunned for a moment and said, “Yes… that’s right. I also want to buy a few cups!”

“Sigh… It’s very difficult to buy their seeds. You should buy some soon!” After saying that, the customer left with his purchase.

Today, Li Gui also gave Zhang Qin and Zhang Wei some seeds to sell. Each of them had 10 pounds to sell. That was the only way they could manage the crowd.

It would be impossible for her to do it alone.

The peddler walked over to Zhang Wei’s spot and bought two cups before going back. He just wanted to know the difference between the seeds he and Li Gui sold.

On the way back, the peddler took two out to try. The taste was simply top-notch!

It was no wonder that he could not beat her and he immediately admitted defeat. However, this was the first time he had seen such seeds. This must be a different variety from another country. It did not seem possible to propose to work together with her.

If he had a supply of such good seeds, he would definitely not share them with others. With this, it was equivalent to having an endless stream of income.

Very quickly, Li Gui and her two children sold out everything and the three of them went home happily.

“Mom! We sold a lot today!” Zhang Qin said as she skipped along beside Li Gui.

“That’s right, it’s all thanks to the two of you! I’ll follow the old practice and give you 10 cents a pound. Although Zhang Chao and Zhang Miao didn’t help with the sales, they’re helping to pick out the corn kernels at home, so let’s give them 5 cents, alright?” Li Gui said.

After all, she must ensure that she treated the four children fairly. Picking corn kernels was also a tiring job. Moreover, not only did Zhang Qin and Zhang Wei have to help pick the kernels, but they also had to go out to do the selling. It was only right for the two of them to get more.

The two children looked at each other as if they were telepathic. Zhang Wei nodded at Zhang Qin and turned to Li Gui. “We’ll take it as we’re helping our younger siblings to do the selling now. When the two of them feel better, they have to come and help with the selling too. We’ll also be picking corn at home as well then, so they should get a share of what we sell.”

Li Gui felt touched as she looked at them and asked softly, “Xiao Qin, do you feel the same way?”

“Yes I do. So in the future,is it alright if we give all the money we make to eldest brother and then we discuss how to split it among ourselves?” Zhang Qin said.

It was not as if this method was not feasible. After all, Zhang Wei had already grown up. Usually, when she was not at home, it was Zhang Wei who took care of the other three children. To the other three children, he was like a father figure.

However, what if the distribution was uneven and the children fought among themselves…

She could not make up her mind about this matter and decided to discuss this matter with Qiao Mei. It would not be good if this bit of money caused a conflict between these few siblings.

She had seen such things happen too many times and did not want the same thing to happen to her children.

“Can Mom go back and discuss with elder sister? After all, elder sister also has a share of the earnings,” Li Gui said.

The two children had no objections. After Li Gui sent the two children home, she went to look for Qiao Mei to discuss this matter. She did not go in through the back door. It was already nighttime and she was worried that she would disturb Qiao Qiang’s rest if she went in through the back door. Thus, she took a long detour to Qiao Mei’s main door.

“Mei Mei, are you asleep yet?” Li Gui walked quietly to Qiao Mei’s bedroom door and asked.

Although the lights in Qiao Mei’s bedroom were still on, it was possible that she had fallen asleep. It was better to ask before she went in.

“No! What’s wrong, Mom?” Qiao Mei said as she opened the door.

“I want to ask you something regarding the four children. I can’t make up my mind,” Li Gui said as she looked at Qiao Mei awkwardly.

Qiao Mei turned sideways to let Li Gui in first. She had just been looking at embroidery patterns for the baby clothes. Now that the babies were about to be born, even though she had already prepared enough things, she still wanted to be more prepared.

“What’s the matter? Is it because sales are not good today?” Qiao Mei asked.

“No… It’s just that we previously said we would give the children 10 cents per pound sold as pocket money. However, now that Zhang Chao and Zhang Miao are both sick and can’t come out, I have thought of another way, but I’m worried…” Li Gui told Qiao Mei everything that had happened along the way.

Although Qiao Mei had never experienced such a thing before, she believed in the children’s characters. Zhang Wei’s character was different from that of Li Gui’s eldest brother, Li Dong, so what happened to her back then would not happen to the children.
