Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1413 - 1415: Not Participating Anymore

Everyone was very surprised when they heard this.

That spicy cabbage and pickle business could earn quite a bit of silver.

But Xiaoxiao actually handed over such a sure-profit venture to them.

This clearly showed Xiaoxiao’s sincerity and genuine intentions.

This made them feel very grateful and they decided that they would always support Xiaoxiao in whatever she needed.

While everyone was celebrating, Yang Wuzhu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Niece-in-law, I appreciate your kindness, but my family won’t take part in this, let my brothers’ families handle it."

As everyone was still in shock, Yang Sizhu also spoke up, "Niece-in-law, my family won’t participate in this either."

Xiaoxiao was extremely surprised, how could Fourth Uncle and Fifth Uncle decide not to take part in something that earned silver?

Others couldn’t understand it either, and couldn’t help but ask, "Why?"

The old lady sitting in the primary seat snorted, "Hmph, why? Why do you think? You’re afraid that the silver won’t be divided evenly, and it’ll hurt the harmony, leading to fights."

The old lady was the eldest in the family, and knew her sons’ temperaments best.

Old Four is a straightforward and honest person who doesn’t fight for things, only wanting to manage his own small piece of land.

Old Five has read a bit and has high awareness about staying out of worldly conflicts.

Neither wants to disrupt the hard-won harmony in the family.

If several families work on one venture, yet each family has a different number of people, the labor contributed would naturally differ, leading to grievances over unbalanced division of silver, potentially causing arguments and hurting harmony.

"Mom, how could the division be uneven?" Yang Dazhu’s wife asked in confusion.

The old lady’s words made Xiaoxiao instantly realize, it’s true what they say, ginger gets spicier with age, and this old lady had already considered the downsides of working together.

Xiaoxiao hadn’t thought much about it; mainly, it’s just that she currently had this one task to solve the issue of engaging everyone, and could only do it this way.

If everyone discusses how to divide the silver beforehand, it should be feasible, right? She felt that the Yang Family people were decent now, and probably wouldn’t turn against each other over this matter, would they?

Just as she was thinking, she saw the old lady give a glance at the elder aunt and began to speak, "Since Old Four and Old Five don’t want to participate, then they won’t. If there are any profitable ventures in the future, they can handle them themselves. Boss, Sanzhu, do Xiaoxiao’s proposition with your two families, but let me make it clear, if you end up fighting over uneven division of silver, then you won’t do this venture anymore, it’ll be handed over to Old Four and Old Five."

Seeing their mother lay down the order, Yang Dazhu spoke up, "Mom, no! Rest assured, just don’t Old Four and Old Five really won’t participate?"

Yang Sanzhu also tried to persuade, "Exactly, we’re all brothers, how could we fight, we’re not kids anymore, let’s all work together."

"Big Brother, Third Brother, I’m out, you two work well together, I just want to patiently wait for my child to be born now." Yang Wuzhu was determined to refuse.

"What about Old Four?"

"Big Brother, Third Brother, I’m out too, our family is just three people, we’ll just busy ourselves with our land."

The old lady knew that these two sons couldn’t be persuaded, so she continued, "Alright then, that’s settled, everyone hurry up and eat."
