Chapter 56 1. The most important thing for a family is to avoid internal strife!
"Alright, let's talk about the division of the gold. This gold bar is ancestral property, and to avoid you brothers fighting, we've already divided it up beforehand."
"We only have so much money. If we invest it all in the restaurant, it will all be counted as shares for you. You know our family's rule is fairness."
"Originally, I planned for each of you six siblings to take 10%, and your mother and I to take 40%. But since the land and buildings were bought by the third brother, he will get an extra 10%, which will come from your mother and me."
"Third brother, don't speak yet. The land and building are still on your side. We'll give you an extra percentage as rent."
"However, I've looked at the profit sharing, and it doesn't seem like enough. Oh well, we're family anyway, so it's fine whether it's enough or not."
"Don't expect to get any money in the first two years. We don't even know if this restaurant will be able to open. We'll start giving you dividends once it's open."
"Everyone else has their own things to do. As for you, Fourth Brother, you'll work at the restaurant, and we'll give you a separate salary."
"If my wife and I die someday, you can each take half of this 30% share. Any objections? You can say so now."
Zhang Qingyang stopped his sons and first explained how to divide the restaurant's shares before seeking their opinions.
"I have no objection, Dad. If you need money, I have some here."
Zhang Guoying adjusted his glasses and said.
"I have no objection either; I also have some pocket money."
Zhang Guoxiong quickly followed suit, expressing his willingness to contribute money.
"Me too!"
Zhang Guohao glanced at his two older brothers and added a comment, but unfortunately no one understood the joke behind it.
"Me too!"
The fourth brother, Zhang Guojie, quickly chimed in, finding his third brother's words quite interesting.
"That's settled then. Keep all your money. These gold bars were left by our ancestors and we don't usually need them. Your mother and I also have some savings, which is enough for our daily lives."
"It's your own money, do whatever you want with it. You're not getting any younger, it's time to go out and explore the world."
"Now that we've decided to settle down here, let's all work hard. And remember one thing: no matter what, the Zhang family must not fight amongst themselves. Otherwise, even if I die, I'll jump out of my coffin and kick you all to death!"
Zhang Qingyang waved his hand and said, "These years have been tough. These kids have been running around, how much money can they save? It's still better to rely on their parents. Although these ancestors have been gone for many years, they have truly blessed their descendants."
Zhang Qingyang has seen it all over the years, and he speaks without restraint, making no difference between life and death in his words.
Hearing Zhang Qingyang's words, the brothers all nodded in agreement, without saying anything else.
The decision to settle down in Hong Kong Island and then develop separately has left the brothers somewhat bewildered.
Zhang Guohao is alright, he already has his own career, but the others haven't had the experience of running away from home.
Over the years, although Zhang Guoying is a dentist, he has never practiced medicine at a fixed location and has always worked as a temporary worker.
Zhang Guoxiong is similar; he can't make much business throughout the year. He says he is well-versed in both Chinese and Western knowledge, which is not a lie. He has too much free time, which he spends studying legal provisions.
These two are planning to go out and develop their own businesses, but they don't have any clue what to do right now.
Zhang Guojie was easy to deal with; he was simply hired as a chef, without any salary. If he wanted to earn a salary, it would depend on when Zhang Qingyang thought he was ready to graduate.
That evening, Zhang Qingyang, along with Zhang Guoying, Zhang Guoxiong, and Zhang Guojie, stayed at the restaurant. Zhang Guohao had already bought luggage for them and put the existing tables together so that they could live there. They would find a renovation team the next day to start the renovations.
Zhang Guohao didn't plan to deal with these matters. He would send Ai Wu over tomorrow; the kid was familiar with the situation and quick-witted, perfect for handling these miscellaneous tasks. He would just pay him his salary then.
Zhang Guohao had contacted Liu San beforehand and found a few reliable renovation teams, so Zhang Qingyang could choose one himself tomorrow.
Zhang Guohao also asked Boss Huo for leave today, and he won't be going to work on the ship tonight. Boss Huo will definitely grant him leave at this time.
Cheung Kwok-ho took a boat back to Kowloon, where he bought some food, toys, and a few new clothes to send to his mother and sister.
"Third Brother!" "Third Brother!"
As soon as Zhang Guohao entered the courtyard, his two younger sisters came up to him and took away everything he was carrying.
"You two slow down, there are some snacks I bought for Mom inside!"
"And don't get the clothes I bought for you dirty!"
Zhang Guohao looked at his two younger sisters, who were jumping around, and quickly gave them some instructions.
"Understood, we know what to do!"
The two younger sisters ran quite fast and entered the house in just a few steps.
"Mother, I'm back!"
Zhang Guohao shouted into the house, "The way my mother and father get along is just different."
No matter what, Mother is still a bit gentler. Zhang Guohao, the original owner of this body, was only beaten by Qiu Yanfang three times!
These three times, he beat them even harder than Zhang Qingyang!
This couldn't stop Zhang Guohao from having a closer relationship with his mother.
Most normal parents would feel more sorry for their mentally challenged sons, and Zhang Guohao has always played that role in the Zhang family for so many years.
Qiu Yanfang looked at Zhang Guohao with a face full of relief. Who would have thought that this third son, who used to be the most troublesome, would be the first to have the means to make a living and even find a wife.
"You've lost weight."
Qiu Yanfang touched Zhang Guohao's face and then said kindly.
"Thank goodness, it's Mom who's really lost weight. Gangsheng, did Mom drink the chicken soup I made?"
Zhang Guohao helped Qiu Yanfang into the house.
Although Qiu Yanfang was still in good health, she did not stop Zhang Guohao from showing his filial piety.
"I drank it. Gangsheng is a nice girl, and the soup she made was delicious. When are you two having your wedding?"
Qiu Yanfang patted Zhang Guohao's hand and said.
"We're waiting for Mother to come, so it's up to Mother to decide how to arrange things."
Zhang Guohao simply brushed the matter aside. Preparing for a wedding is quite a troublesome thing, but nowadays it's all about the parents' wishes and the matchmaker's words, so let his parents worry about it!
Once I've paid enough money, everything will be easy. My parents are coming, so this wedding is a good opportunity for them to get familiar with the local area.
"Okay, okay, I'll start preparing in the next few days. First, I'll find a good fortune teller to calculate your birth charts."
Qiu Yanfang sat down and spoke to Zhang Guohao.
"Brother Hao."
Hong Sheng, his face flushed, also brought a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Zhang Guohao.
"kindness."
Zhang Guohao took the chicken soup, downed it in one gulp, then took out a thousand yuan and handed it to Qiu Yanfang.
"Mom, take this money. Buy whatever you want and spend it. Don't try to save money for me."
"Okay, Mom will take it for you."
Qiu Yanfang glanced at Gangsheng and, seeing no sign of dissatisfaction on his face, smiled.
