Chapter 116 - 105: Retail
The idea of sharing the money was destined to be just that, an idea, because ever since she had returned to school after her break, the money that Zhou Wulang and the others had earned, she only had a countable share of it. After calculating the amount that needed to be contributed to the public fund, the remainder was to be split evenly between Third Sister-in-law, Zhou Wulang, and Zhou Liulang.
With Zhou Silang joining the partnership, the profit was now split four ways.
Of course, having added one more person, their earnings also grew more and more.
Not to say anything else, the daily sales of baked buns and steamed bread were substantial, and the daily return of wheat and rice gradually increased from half a sack to a full large sack.
Of course, they only shared the money, not the grain, which was instead converted into copper coins for distribution.
Every day, Manbao could take a hefty amount of money from Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother to keep for them, so she didn’t notice anything amiss at all.
Until one day, when she was feeling greedy again and hand in hand with Erya, went to Zhou Hu’s house at the edge of the village to buy a chicken, Keke suddenly said, "Host, you only have sixty wen left. After buying this chicken, you will only have enough money left to buy a few pieces of candy."
Manbao was stunned; only then did she sink her consciousness to inspect the several piles of money stored within the system, and that was when she saw that Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother had accumulated quite a sum, while her own money had become the smallest pile.
Manbao couldn’t believe it, "How can this be?"
"Why would you make money without doing any work?" Keke asked her, "Are you still buying the chicken?"
Manbao looked through the gaps in Zhou Hu’s fence at the chickens pecking at their feed and salivated, "Buy it."
