Chapter 253: Mid-Autumn Festival Benefits

Chapter 253: The Mid-Autumn Festival Bonus

At lunchtime, Su He mentioned to the Fu family that they would be sharing the durian profits in the evening, which thrilled the several daughters-in-law of the Fu family.

Finally, it was time for the distribution of profits. After the first distribution, there had been no further shares.

Later, Fu Tinghua did bring the profit share, but because he needed to buy a car, he used that money for the purchase.

No one expected that this Mid-Autumn Festival, Su He would still give them such a big surprise.

The Fu family thought that due to the car purchase, Su He wouldn't have enough money to distribute the profits.

Considering Fu Tinghua's character, Fu Dajun believed his son would definitely make up the difference for everyone.

Well, if he had to, at least the car would be more reliable.

The Fu family had privately discussed that even if Su He couldn't distribute the profits, none of them should bring it up.

But who could have guessed that Su He, upon returning this time, still had money to share with them.

"Then I'll stay tonight and help Mom cook? Su He and Tinghua came from so far away; they should rest at home." Chen Sufen smiled broadly, eager to please Su He, she suggested they not do any work.

"It's fine, isn't it harvest season at home? You all go and take care of the farm work, Tinghua and I can handle the cooking."

Su He wasn't the type to sit idly by while the whole family worked hard.

Cooking was something she could do effortlessly.

Besides, with Fu Tinghua and Wu Yanhua around, she only needed to focus on stir-frying, leaving the preparation work to them.

"Sure, I'll stay and help Su He. You all go about your business," Wu Yanhua quickly replied.

"Alright, we'll follow Su He's lead," Chen Sufen, always the most perceptive in the family, flattered Su He without any reserve.

Actually, Su He didn't dislike such people. On the contrary, those who could be flexible, read their leaders' intentions, and speak to different people in different ways were often the ones most favored in the workplace.

Because they were easy to work with and made things smooth.

After lunch, Su He and Fu Tinghua took the two children back to nap.

In the city, Su He had no time for naps; she had to manage the store.

Now that they were back in the village and it was a holiday, she naturally wanted to enjoy herself.

As soon as Su He left, the three daughters-in-law of the Fu family began to discuss.

"There's actually a bonus to be distributed. How much do you think Su He will give us?" Chen Sufen was undoubtedly the most excited, and only she would ask such a question so boldly.

"I don't know, whatever she gives is fine," Zhang Xiaohua was also delighted.

She never imagined her husband could earn extra money by driving Su He's car, and now there would even be a bonus.

But at the same time, she was a bit worried. With their household monopolizing the truck, she wondered if Su He might withhold some of their bonus.

When Fu Guoqing first proposed using the truck to earn extra income, he had already discussed it with the family.

He would take fifty percent, use part of the remaining fifty percent for fuel, and hand over the rest to Fu Dajun and Wu Yanhua for common use.

The other two daughters-in-law, who had been jealous of the extra income the main branch of the Fu family was making, felt a bit more balanced when they heard Fu Guoqing was willing to share the money.

It's only natural that they'd feel a bit resentful about the eldest son's family using the car for side gigs.

After all, everyone chipped in for the car—why should it be used for extra income just because you know how to drive?

Because of this, Chen Sufen had been constantly urging Fu Derong to learn how to drive and get a license.

Every night before bed these days, Chen Sufen kept bringing it up.

Fu Derong had also been getting an earful from his wife over this matter for several days.

With how busy things were now, when would he even have time to learn?

It wasn’t until Fu Guoqing voluntarily offered to kick in some of his extra earnings for household expenses that Chen Sufen finally backed off.

Zhang Xiaohua had also felt a bit uncomfortable at first, but she was naturally shy. After being scolded last time for butting into the durian compensation dispute, she no longer dared to chime in on such sensitive topics.

Fortunately, Fu Guoqing knew how to smooth things over, which eased the leftover resentment in her heart.

"Whatever Su He gives us is what we get—end of discussion," Wu Yanhua interjected, overhearing the wives gossiping again.

If the amount Su He gave didn’t meet their expectations, wouldn’t they just end up feeling unhappy again?

"Mom, I know. I’m just happy. We thought there wouldn’t be any money for us this time, but who knew Su He would come through and still have something to give? Even if it’s just ten or twenty yuan, I’d still be happy," Chen Sufen said, hanging onto Wu Yanhua’s arm with a coaxing smile.

No wonder she was such a smooth talker—just one sentence was enough to cheer Wu Yanhua up.

"It’s good that you think this way. You know, Su He shelled out who knows how much just to buy that car," Wu Yanhua sighed.

But having a car was ultimately a good thing.

"We know, Mom. We understand."

Meanwhile, after returning home and getting the two kids settled for their nap, Su He and Fu Tinghua lay in bed discussing the dividends.

"Are you planning to take the car money out of their dividends?" Fu Tinghua asked Su He.

Su He hesitated, then shook her head.

"No. This car is ours. Besides, even if we took from their dividends, it wouldn’t make much difference, so it’s better to forget it. If this car gets too entangled with them, what happens later if everyone starts wanting to use it for personal reasons? I’d rather keep this car just for my use," Su He replied.

"But then the dividends you’ll be giving them will be quite a bit. Do you have enough money?" Fu Tinghua couldn’t help but ask.

He never asked about how much Su He earned.

He knew she still had some savings, but he didn’t want her to drain her savings just to secure sole use of the car by distributing all her money to the Fu family.

What if she ran out of funds later? What about buying more stock? Would Su He get too stressed?

"Don’t worry, there’s enough. It’s just tough for now, but things will get better later. No need to worry about me."

Seeing the concern on Fu Tinghua’s face, Su He couldn’t help but find it a little amusing.

"Alright, as long as you know what you're doing. My family—they might have their own selfish thoughts sometimes, but that’s just human nature. You don’t have to worry about them taking it personally or anything," Fu Tinghua advised.

He could tell that Su He sometimes kept too much distance with his family.

"That’s where you’re mistaken. In business, it’s better to keep things clear—that way, everyone stays happy. I won’t take advantage of them, because later on, they might feel I owe them something. Even among family, once money gets involved, things can get messy. So I’d rather keep everything above board now."

Fu Tinghua understood Su He’s reasoning.

"Alright, it’s up to you," he replied.
