Chapter 273: Brotherly Affection and Fraternal Respect
It’s important for people to know their limits!
Yuan Zhaodi understood very well in his heart that if he were not Yuan Yindi’s elder brother, then doing all this would at most earn him some extra wages. And no matter how much those wages were, they could never amount to even a tenth of this business share.
The most important thing is, with that share, his status would be entirely different too.
If he were merely a manager, then no matter how much money he received, he would still just be an employee. But with the share, his status would become one of the owners.
This deal was clearly his little brother helping him out.
Yuan Zhaodi saw everything clearly and naturally didn’t want to take such a big advantage from his own brother.
"Fourth Brother, I don’t like what you’re saying!"
Upon hearing Yuan Zhaodi’s words, Yuan Yindi became somewhat displeased, "What’s our relationship? We are brothers, blood brothers from the same mother. Some things don’t need to be calculated so precisely!"
"Xiao Wu, Brother knows your intention, but this matter really can’t be calculated that way!"
Yuan Zhaodi waved his hand, still refusing.
Upon hearing these words, Yuan Yindi interrupted before his fourth brother could continue explaining, "Fourth Brother, if you’re going to put it that way, then I need to properly calculate something with you!"
"Back then, you and the eldest brother were working at home in the fields, while I went to school. Frankly, if it weren’t for your support back then, little brother here wouldn’t have achieved what I have today!"
"When we settled in Shiqu Village in Daxia, if you all hadn’t supported us from home, I wouldn’t have been able to travel around Daxia in peace or gained the knowledge I have today!"
"Fourth Brother, do we brothers really need to act like outsiders?"
Yuan Yindi looked seriously at his fourth brother, his tone heavy.
Before approaching his two older brothers, Yuan Yindi had been worried that the interest might cause a rift between brothers. So, he considered having their father mediate as a witness.
But on the way, Yuan Yindi changed his mind a bit.
After laying the groundwork for this business, it indeed could become a money-making venture. But compared to the bonds between them as brothers, what is this money?
Yuan Yindi believed he wouldn’t be blinded by such money.
So then, why should he worry about his elder and fourth brothers losing their minds?
"Xiao Wu, if you’re going to say it like that, then I won’t be polite with you!"
Hearing Yuan Yindi’s words, Yuan Zhaodi laughed too.
"Fourth Brother, what do you have to be so polite with me about!"
Only then did Yuan Yindi laugh happily.
After the brothers reached a consensus, Yuan Pandi came along carrying water buckets, slowly walking down the path. From afar, he saw the two of them.
"Fourth, Xiao Wu, what are you two doing?"
"Xiao Wu, how did you get back so quickly?"
Yuan Pandi walked up carrying buckets of water, looking at the two younger brothers.
Yuan Yindi chuckled and said, "Eldest Brother, I have a business, and I need your and Fourth Brother’s help!"
"Alright!"
Yuan Pandi didn’t even ask what the matter was. In his viewpoint, if his brothers asked for help, of course, he would help.
However, once Yuan Yindi finished explaining the matter’s details, Yuan Pandi reacted the same way as Yuan Zhaodi, finding the share too valuable and feeling unworthy of it.
"Eldest Brother, if you still consider me your brother, then don’t refuse!"
"Can our brotherly relationship be measured by this bit of silver?"
Yuan Yindi straightforwardly pressed him.
Yuan Pandi sighed and said, "You rascal, I can’t out-argue you!"
"Here’s the deal, from my share, I’ll take out half for our parents’ retirement fund, and you must agree to this!"
"Being the eldest son, taking care of our parents in their old age should be my responsibility!"
