"Hey, I just learned today what it means to be a house thief."

The second sister-in-law said something leisurely, in exchange for Ji's mother's stare, and also for Ji's brother's soberness: "You made two, and you have hidden one to guard against me!"

He judged others by himself, he thought so, since he didn't invite himself, he had to see what he got. He ran out of the production room like the wind, ran back to his room, and came out with a box. The heavy box inside was also a jewelry box, which was almost the same as the one taken away by the housekeeper of the Zheng family.

Brother Ji raised his hand and took it out. It had all the patterns on it, and it was equally exquisite, but under the direct sunlight from the yard, he looked carefully, and found that it was actually different.

"This is a wood carving!"

The painted wood carvings are fake ones.

This kind of skill itself is excellent, enough to fool Brother Ji who was in a hurry to be a house thief in the dark.

"You've been on guard against me for a long time!"

Brother Ji came to his conclusion and was furious. He glared at Ji Mo and even wanted to drop the carved wooden jewelry box from his hand.

Ji Mo grabbed it and put it back in the box, "If you are more careful, you will find that it is actually different."

How can the texture of gemstones and metals be the same as wood?He deliberately polished such a thing, not to target Brother Ji's hand, he is not so forward-looking, but just thinking about making a jewelry model like the cake model that is often placed outside the bakery, so that Much better than an atlas.

The above colors are all prepared by himself, pursuing the texture of metal and gemstones as much as possible, and it is easy to distinguish their glossiness only by looking at them under the light.

In terms of weight, there are also some differences, and even the feel in the hand is always different.

Perhaps it was dark at that time, Brother Ji didn't notice at all, he just took the jewelry box and left in a hurry, but he didn't know that it was a specially prepared model that could be placed in the shop for others to see in the future.

Ji Mo said his thoughts. He probably has a habit of making models. There is no need to keep any models for ordinary hairpins and rings, but this kind of jewelry box has patterns and skills, so he wants to keep it. a model.

The model and the jewelry box were made at the same time, and it was a bit of a draft. If the wood carving was not good, it could be redone. If there was a mistake on the metal, it would be a bit troublesome to make small changes unless it was completely melted.

Ji's father knew that Ji Mo had made such a jewelry box, and he only thought it was for practicing his hands, so he didn't say anything. Compared with directly using gold and silver for practicing hands, wood is much easier, and he is not afraid of being useless.

Where did I think of...

"Alas..." He let out a long sigh, "When the second child comes back, let's separate."

He knew that Brother Ji was restless, but he didn't expect this to happen. He stole the jewelry box and waited for someone from the Zheng family to pick up the goods. Couldn't it be his own reputation that was bad? Delivered on time, but the shameless person in the middle isn't the Ji family?

"What kind of family--" Ji's mother disagreed, and was interrupted by Ji's father before she finished speaking, "Separate, must be divided!"

It was rare for him to make such a decisive decision. Mother Ji glanced at him, opened her mouth, and did not refute again.

"There are thieves all over the house, how can we live together?"

Father Ji said angrily.

When Ji's mother heard the words, she gave the second sister-in-law another look. She was the one who said the "house thief" first.

The second sister-in-law was a little unconvinced, but she didn't argue, and her heart was a little messed up. She wanted to be the housekeeper, but she really didn't think about dividing the family!

The Ji family was not considered a big and prosperous family in the first place, with a weak foundation, no matter what, it seemed to be a single family, and they lived their lives behind closed doors, but in reality?There is not even a helper on the left and right, and they have to knock on the door of other people's houses when they are eating. Maybe there are rogues who see that there is no man in her family who is bullying her. Thinking about it, it is a troublesome thing.

"Father, mother, calm down, calm down, isn't something wrong?"

The second sister-in-law is now trying to smooth things over.

Ji Mo is familiar with the ancient rules, and understands how the second sister-in-law changed the direction of the wind and wanted to make big things smaller. In ancient times, it was not good to divide the family because the family's wealth became thinner and thinner. You can get two extra cents for the loan interest, and now you have to separate it. No one is good enough to lend money, so where do you want to make money from?

This is not to say that their family's money is used for lending, but it means that it is the same as the payment for goods purchased by merchants. When retail investors gather together, they buy things at wholesale prices. They buy them separately, and none of them take advantage of it.

Besides, from the bottom of his heart, Ji Mo doesn't want to separate the family either.

Among other things, when the family is separated, he is the head of his own small family. Apart from other things, he cleans and cooks every day, and if he doesn't do it himself, he will let someone else do it. The usual way of choosing in ancient times is to marry a wife to do housework It was not within the scope of Ji Mo's choice, so he could only hire someone to do it, and as a result of hiring someone, whether he was careful or not, he had to follow him as a supervisor, which may not be better than the current life.

Furthermore, the jewelry industry is needed. Who will know the market outside, and visit each house by yourself, don’t you need time?

In addition, he can negotiate business with customers, but what about the time it takes?

It sounds like it would be better to live alone with a separated family, and it is up to you to earn more or less, but when you really think about it, there will be more troubles, and it may not be better than it is now.

Father Ji usually doesn't speak, and when he does, he is determined. He says he is waiting for Brother Ji to come back, but he doesn't really wait.

Their family has been operating here for many years. On the surface, it looks like a jewelry store of the Ji family. In fact, there are a few acres of land outside, which are rented out to others, and the rent collected by the family is one year's food. The grain shop sells it for money, or simply keeps it in case there is a shortage of food.

The Ji family jewelry shop has already gained a reputation, but it has not expanded the shop. Apart from buying land, the money is used to buy the land of the left and right neighbors to build houses. Now there are some savings, but on the books, they can be counted as nothing, because these savings have been invested in buying materials.

Even Ji Mo has to admit that when Brother Ji is in charge of the accounts, he has less to worry about a lot of things. Shells, they don't face the sea here, shells are not so good, and they are all bought by Brother Ji looking for connections and connections.

After getting acquainted, this route was handed over to Brother Ji to buy.

There are other things that Ji Mo needs. Brother Ji satisfies as much as possible for the materials that Ji Mo wants. Even if Ji Mo failed to produce, Brother Ji didn’t criticize much. He even comforted him and turned his head to comfort himself. , little loss.

Apart from being greedy, stingy, and brother Ji's stupidity this time, those things can't be changed.

Just look at Brother Ji's execution of the contract very well. He is still very trustworthy. If the agreement is made and written down in black and white, he can probably follow it.

But now-

"Split it up, father and mother follow me!"

Brother Ji seemed to be able to accept this fact, and said directly, "Ji's jewelry store is also mine, and the land outside. I am the eldest son, and I will support my parents until the end of their lives. Those are all mine."

What he said directly took the bulk, except for the jewelry shop and the fields, the rest was the residence, but there was nothing to divide.

He and Ji Erge are on one side and have already occupied the place, but Ji Mo is not yet married and lives with his parents, right next door to his parents, one room, not a separate courtyard, unlike those two, the walls are built together We can be two families.

"Where there is such a division, the second son is not a human being. I am also born to my parents. I have no belly, so why can't I divide the land! The land is mine, and the shop is also mine!"

Brother Ji raised his fist as a signal.

He was good at martial arts in his early years, and now he is quite intimidating.

Brother Ji fell silent.

Ji Mo didn't speak, his proposition was meaningless, if it wasn't for the big event that required the participation of all the staff, he probably wouldn't have participated, just listen to the final result.

It's rare for Ji's father to be assertive. He divides everything into four and divides it equally. Whoever takes care of the two elders can get the second elder's share, but it will be a hundred years later.

The list is set up at home, and I don't report it to the government, so as not to be eye-catching and cause more troubles, but with the list in hand, if something really happens and there is a dispute over production, the list will be evidence.

Ji Mo looked at the list written by Big Brother Ji without hesitation, but it was written clearly and without any worries. He signed his signature and pressed his fingerprints to confirm the fairness of the list.

The same is true for Brother Ji.

From then on, the three brothers all have shares in the shop, and dividends will be distributed according to the shares in the future. In terms of accounts, the second sister-in-law, who has always been shrewd, and Brother Ji jointly manage it. Should the second brother run his own business or run, not in the shop Parents are still in charge of other things, but the output of the field has to be distributed to everyone.

In this way, Ji Mo is actually at a disadvantage. He can live anywhere without the jewelry store. Brother Ji left him, but there are no producers. Although he can still find craftsmen, it is different after all.

"I also said, if it really doesn't work, I'll borrow money from my mother's family, and our two families will jointly open a jewelry shop, and the eldest brother will stare blankly."

When the second sister-in-law talked to Ji Mo, she was still very moved.

She has been in the door for so long, and she also understands that no matter how good Ji's handicraft is, limited by factors such as age and body, he can't do much every day, and the time is too long. Mo, there are always fresh ideas. It can be said that the Ji family jewelry shop has today, and Ji Mo has made contributions. This is the main force in the future, and it is worth wooing.

Ji Mo smiled lightly: "It's not bad now."

Originally, he just wanted to improve the food, and the food has indeed improved now. The two daughters-in-law take turns to cook, and it's fine if there is always a little meat every now and then. He was not very picky at first.
