Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1278

Chapter 1278: Chapter 1150: Are You Really So Kind?

"I didn’t just have Uncle Heizi’s print shop do the processing, I also had a batch printed in the neighboring city. If my prediction isn’t off, by the end of the year, once you add in firecrackers, New Year prints and all that, put together it should be close to fifty thousand yuan."

Zhou Jiao heard him say that and immediately knitted her brows. "Did you talk it through with those brother and sister about how you’re going to split the profit?"

May 1st straightened up, glanced at the front courtyard, then bent over to whisper in her ear, "They said the contacts and the capital are all mine, and it’s enough if I give them some hard‑work money. But I don’t plan to shortchange them. If we split it ninety–ten, the two of them can get five thousand yuan."

"You told them that?"

"Not yet. I still have to test them. If they keep being this enthusiastic and keep helping me, I don’t mind bringing them along on whatever I do in the future."

When he finished, May 1st winked at her and laughed. "Otherwise, it’s not like I don’t have people on hand. I could just pull in anyone to handle this little bit of business. But for Second Uncle’s sake, and Brother Shitou and the others being so filial, if we can help a bit, we help a bit."

Zhou Jiao chuckled and shook her head. "You only think of your Second Uncle. What about your First Uncle? He’s good to you too. And your First Aunt, she’s the one who thinks about you four father and sons the most."

"Oh my god, I haven’t shorted Brother Xi Zi and his three brothers, including Brother Ziwen and the others. This time Dato shipped everything to them.

As for how much they make, that depends on their own ability. See, your old son is plenty righteous toward his cousins, right? My dad never helped his own cousins this much."

Listening to May 1st sound so aggrieved, Zhou Jiao eyed her son suspiciously. If she hadn’t given birth to him herself, she’d suspect someone had swapped out his core and turned him into some saintly do‑gooder!

She gave her son a speechless side‑glance. "You’re really that kind‑hearted?"

May 1st rubbed his nose. "You want the truth or a lie?"

"Don’t talk nonsense!"

"Heh heh... Mom, you helping Uncle Yi and the others invest in foreign futures, I’m guessing you won’t be able to keep that from Zuo Lin. Instead of waiting for it to blow up and making it hard on Dad, better to strike first."

Zhou Jiao raised her eyebrows.

She really wasn’t afraid of the people back home finding out. What she wants to do, does she still have to get their approval? If the family’s already helped them this much and they’re still not satisfied, then it’s better to cut things off and have some peace.

How could May 1st not understand what his mom was thinking?

He smiled without mentioning that as long as his grandparents are still alive, that very real blood tie will keep making things hard on his dad.

May 1st went on, "Look, the amount investing abroad is too big, but you haven’t forgotten Dad’s brothers and sisters. Let them play a couple of small rounds, toss them a bit of sweetness, and you’ll have fewer problems."

Hearing this, Zhou Jiao secretly sighed and grumbled to herself: but can you guarantee they won’t become insatiable, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant?

Then she looked at her son’s slightly narrowed eyes. Seeing that he had it all mapped out in his heart, Zhou Jiao didn’t say anything more about it.

Even though the kids’ views are different from hers, and their way of handling things is different too, it’s still a chance to train them. This time Zhou Jiao planned not to get involved in these matters.

What’s in people’s hearts?

No one can predict that.

She’d rather leave some time for the kids to feel it and experience it for themselves. Maybe she’s the one who thinks too poorly of outsiders; maybe this "lubricant" approach of her son’s is the right way.

Since there was still a bit of time before work, Zhou Jiao pulled her son along and walked around to the first courtyard in the back.

Once there, she deliberately took him to the side room first to check out the mechanism to the underground darkroom. There wasn’t a speck of abnormal dust on the floor.

Seeing that, Zhou Jiao signaled with her eyes, lightly pointing at the spot. When she saw him nod in understanding, she smiled.

Sure, the place has been empty a long time, so what’s stored inside might not be that safe; but even a crafty rabbit knows to have three burrows. She has to keep a few more cards in hand.

After that, Zhou Jiao took her son and strolled through all the rooms to make sure the cleaners really hadn’t been slacking on hygiene.

In the depths of winter, no matter how strong the midday sun is, sitting on the back of a motorcycle, helmet on, Zhou Jiao hugging her son tightly, she was still shivering with cold.
