Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

"Isn't it good that the children can study peacefully in the new school building!"

As soon as Tian Chulian spoke, the villagers present fell silent, and no one suggested dividing up the more than 400,000 yuan.

Even the most unruly Cai Mangzi was now behaving himself, cowering there and not daring to speak. Everyone knows the importance of education. The principle that education should not be neglected no matter how poor one is, and children should not suffer no matter how hard life is. Almost every Chinese person knows this principle.

If the village can produce another college student, someone as knowledgeable as Chen Zaisheng, the entire village will scrimp and save to support his education. That would be an honor for the whole village!

"I won't keep too much; I'll take out 100,000 yuan, and then I'll go to the county education bureau and talk to Secretary Lin to make sure that our Lianzhai Village school is rebuilt!"

"good!"

"I support Secretary Tian!"

"Building good schools is building the future!"

"right!"

Tian Chulian gestured with his hand and addressed the crowd again, "As for the remaining five thousand yuan, it will not be included in the profit sharing. It will be kept as the village's activity fund. Zai Guang told me that he would personally contribute 20,000 yuan to build an activity room for the elderly in the village. I thought that this is a major event for our village collective, and the village cannot contribute no money at all."

"This past year, the company has bought up all the sweet potatoes grown in our village. You all received a lot, so it's time to give some to the elders in the village as a token of our respect. I'll contribute 3,000 yuan of this 5,000 yuan, and the remaining 2,000 yuan will be used to subsidize the meal expenses at the senior activity room."

"Any elderly person in the village who is 60 years of age or older can eat three meals a day for free at the village's senior citizens' canteen!"

"Secretary Tian, ​​can we go eat too?"

"Hahaha!"

"Cai the rascal, aren't you afraid that the village elders will hit you on the head with chopsticks and say you have no shame? Go ahead and do it!"

"Hahaha!"

"It's alright, Cai Mangzi. It's just a tap on the head, it's not a big deal. At worst, you'll never get a wife and can stay a bachelor for life!"

"Yeah, it's alright. You don't have a good reputation in the village anyway. The old ladies and aunties will spread the word for you, and I guarantee the matchmakers will run away as soon as they hear the name 'Cai the Scoundrel'!"

"Hahaha!"

"Get out! Get out! You're all making fun of me!"

Tian Chulian was also amused by the teasing of Cai Mangzi. "Alright, alright, let's get down to business. The remaining 320,000 yuan will be divided equally among each household by Accountant Cai. When the time comes, you can tell Accountant Cai whether you want cash or transfer to your account."

"Meeting adjourned!"

After saying that, Tian Chulian carried his bench back to the village committee office. The other villagers then swarmed around Cai Miaosheng, the accountant, bombarding him with questions: "Accountant Cai, how much will each family get?"

"It's 935 yuan per family!"

"That's quite a lot, hehe, I'll just take the cash!"

"Me too."

Cai Miaosheng spread out the notebook and said to those who wanted cash, "Those who want cash, sign here. I'll go to the county bank to get the money, and then we'll distribute it here in the courtyard."

The villagers took turns signing their names with pens. After Chen Zaifang finished signing, he smiled and walked towards his uncle Chen Xiangui's house. He pushed open the courtyard gate and found many people sitting in the main hall, including his aunt Chen Qiuxiu and her family.

When Chen Zaifang entered the hall, everyone smiled and asked, "Zaifang, how much money will each family in the village receive?"

"Not much, 935 yuan per family. Originally, if it were divided according to 435,000 yuan, each family would still have more than 1,200 yuan left. However, Secretary Tian said that 100,000 yuan should be taken out to repair the village primary school," Chen Zaifang pulled over a chair and sat down.

Grandma Wei Shufen nodded and said, "Secretary Tian's suggestion is good. Our village school's two-story building really needs to be demolished and rebuilt. Before liberation, when I married into the village, it was originally Du Laocai's house. After he was persecuted, it was used as a school for the village. It has been in disrepair for many years."

Although Grandma Wei Shufen is just a rural woman, she attended school in the county when she was young and knows the importance of knowledge. Naturally, she supports the renovation of the village primary school.

The fact that the three branches of the family had gathered at the ancestral home meant they had something important to discuss. Chen Xiangui first offered cigarettes to his brothers and nephews, then, while smoking, addressed the group, "It's almost the end of the year, and the company has distributed dividends to the village. Our Chen family, specifically the three branches, also needs to discuss dividends."

Upon hearing that the topic of profit sharing was to be discussed, everyone present perked up, especially the young wives sitting on the periphery, who listened intently to what Chen Xiangui was about to say.

"The company's performance this year is quite good. According to the share allocation given by Zai Dong, Zai Guang owns 58% of the shares. After deducting workers' wages and benefits and payments for goods, the company has a surplus of RMB 20.45 million and USD 3 million!"

"After deducting the 435,000 yuan dividend for the village, there is still 20,015,000 yuan left. As for the 3 million US dollars, let's talk about giving it priority to him, so we won't mention it."

"According to Zai Dong's plan, one million will be set aside from Zai Guang's share of profits. Our three branches, plus your aunt and your two cousins, will each receive a total of nineteen shares. Not counting your eldest brother's share, that makes eighteen shares."

"Each household will receive 55555 yuan," Chen Xiangui said, then looked at his nephews and nieces present. Seeing their excited expressions, he asked, "Do you have any objections to this distribution?"

"No, Father, your way of dividing things is the fairest!"

"Yes, Uncle, dividing it up is the fairest way!"

Standing behind Chen Zaiguang, Lin Ruiqing pouted indignantly, thinking to herself, "Why should my married aunt be able to share the money of the three families? And my aunt Lianxiang is also being counted as a share." This made Lin Ruiqing feel even more that it was unfair.

But she didn't dare to say it openly in this situation. The old lady, Wei Shufen, was still sitting there. If she angered her, she could just decide that they wouldn't separate.

After all, what everyone is sharing now is the money of Chen Zaiguang, the eldest grandson of Grandma Wei Shufen. Originally, according to the old lady's wishes, it would have been enough to take out 100,000 or 200,000 yuan and distribute it among everyone. There was no need to take out so much.

It was Chen Dong and Chen Zaiguang who persuaded the old lady. They said, "They are all your grandchildren. There's no reason for them to be envious and cause trouble in the family just because your eldest grandson is making money."

"You all must remember the kindness of my great-grandson Zaiguang," said Old Madam Wei Shufen, tapping her rosewood cane on her wrist as she addressed the still-happy crowd. "You mustn't forget your roots after receiving the benefits!"

"Mother, how could that be? Even if there's a share, I, his married aunt, and his two cousins ​​can each get a portion. As his aunt, I'll remember his kindness for the rest of my life!"

"You know that much is good!"
