Without Lu Zhenjia, the family income dropped sharply, but she and Lu Youzhen still had to make a living.
"Let's go now." Mr. Lu touched his stomach, "I'm hungry."
"Let's go, let's go now." Old Mrs. Lu urged.
Lu Youbang had no choice but to take them out of the hotel.
There is a small family-run restaurant next to the hotel, and the food is affordable.
Even so, the two elders of the Lu family, Ge Guifen and Lu Youzhen were already very happy to be able to eat it.
Lu Youzhen was extremely envious and whispered to Ge Guifen, "Mom, it turns out that big cities are so good. My brother lives such a good life here. I want to come here to study in the future."
"You want to come to the capital? Why don't you study hard? If you don't study well, you won't be able to get into a university in the capital, so what can you bring?" Ge Guifen said unhappily, "If you only care about beauty every day and study hard, I will definitely support you if you can get into a university in the capital. And your brother is here and can take care of you, so I feel more at ease."
"In the future, when you have made it big, you can take me in too." Seeing that Lu Youxi took Lu Zhenguo's family in to play, and that it was all Lu Youxi's money, Ge Guifen was extremely envious.
Lu Youzhen really wanted to come, and said with determination: "I will study hard when I return."
Old Madam Lu curled her lips, "Just you? You've always been ranked last in the class, and you can get into college by cramming at the last minute? Besides, is your family rich?"
Ge Guifen ignored Mrs. Lu and said to Lu Youbang, "Youbang, you should tutor Youzhen more often. I think she has a better future in college. This big city is different from ours."
Lu Youbang took the opportunity to say, "Grandma, our family has no money, but Lu Youxi does."
"She?" Mrs. Lu didn't believe it. "Where did she get so much money?"
"You don't know, she made a lot of money from stock trading." Lu Youbang said, "Where did she get the money to invite my uncle and his family to come over to play?"
"Didn't you say you got a scholarship?" Ge Guifen followed up.
Lu Youbang curled his lips, "The scholarship money is not enough to spend. You can see that the travel expenses here are 300 yuan per person. My uncle's family of three people, that's 900 yuan. Accommodation, the small hotel you are staying in today, costs 100 yuan a night. Let's assume that my uncle and his family will share a room. They are here today, so they will stay until the 6th, which means they will stay for eight days, 800 yuan. Add in food and drink, the cost of living in the capital is very high."
"Can Lu Youxi spend all her scholarship money on them? Doesn't she want to live? My uncle didn't give her much living expenses, so she has to save some for living expenses. If you calculate it all like this, it's not enough!"
"Besides, Lu Youxi's stock trading is profitable, and this is something that all students in our major know. Even students in other majors in the entire college have heard about it." Lu Youbang said, "She not only makes money herself, but also brings her classmates to make a lot with her."
"I estimate that she must have earned tens of thousands of dollars." Lu Youbang didn't know how much Lu Youxi had earned. He didn't even know how much capital Lu Youxi had invested.
But Lu Youxi doesn’t have much money and the principal is not much, so the money he makes should not be exaggerated?
This is how Lu Youbang analyzed it himself.
He is in a very conflicted mood now. On the one hand, he doesn't want to see Lu Youxi making money.
But on the other hand, he felt that if Lu Youxi earned less, the two elders of the Lu family would not be able to get much money.
The more he earns, the more the two elders of the Lu family ask for, and the more he can get.
However, Lu Youbang told Lu Youxi that he made a lot of money.
Sure enough, even Mr. Lu stopped eating the meat.
Old Madam Lu took a deep breath, her cloudy eyes full of greed, "She made so much money?"
Enough for Lu Zhengguo to earn for several years!
"Yeah, just go ask around at our school, everyone knows." Lu Youbang said, "That's why she was so generous to invite my uncle's family to come over to play. Didn't she also pay for my grandparents' travel expenses? If she really didn't have money, would she give in even if you guys kept making trouble?"
"This damn girl, where does she get the ability to make so much money!" Ge Guifen's eyes turned red with jealousy.
Originally, she thought she was proud enough, because Lu Youbang was a top student at Peking University, the only one of his kind in the entire village.
Who would have thought that Lu Youxi would be admitted to Peking University and even received a scholarship.
And what about her? Her husband is in jail.
Looking at Lu Youxi again, he has only been here for a month and has already made tens of thousands of dollars!
"Why didn't you buy it with her?" Ge Guifen's eyes turned red with jealousy, and she even started to get anxious.
How could Lu Youbang dare to say that he secretly followed the buying, but ended up selling it too late and suffering a loss.
All I can say is: "How can she take me? I don't dare to buy from her! What if she cheats me?"
"That's right." Ge Guifen nodded, and then said indignantly, "Lu Youxi is a cruel girl. If she can cheat your father, she can definitely cheat you. She just always holds a grudge against our family."
Lu Youzhen rolled her eyes and said, "Grandma and grandpa, Lu Youxi made so much money, but she didn't tell you at all, and she didn't plan to honor you. This is too much."
Lu Youbang nodded and said, "I think she should give you half of the money. Even if it's only half, I estimate it should be about 20,000 or 30,000."
"When the time comes, you can keep it for your old age, or use the money to rescue my dad. It's up to you." Lu Youbang said, "But what I mean is that you should keep it for your old age."
Ge Guifen became anxious when she heard this, and secretly kicked Lu Youbang's feet under the table.
Lu Youbang was unmoved and continued to tell the two elders of the Lu family: "My father is already in prison, and I have consulted a lawyer. In his situation, there is no way he can be rescued. We can only let him behave well in prison and try to get out as soon as possible."
"Besides, if we save these tens of thousands of dollars, our family can live a better life." The key is to be able to give him more money.
These words really touched the hearts of the two elders.
Although they also wanted Lu Zhenjia to come out earlier, they were reluctant to spend tens of thousands of dollars.
It would be great if I could keep the money for myself to eat well and drink well, and take good care of myself in my old age! "But we can't find your uncle and his family now." Mr. Lu said worriedly, "You don't allow us to go to school to look for Daya."
"Yes, we lie down at the school gate and scold Daya for being unfilial. How can she not give us money?" Old Mrs. Lu curled her lips. "Can she bear the crime of being unfilial? She is so unfilial. I wonder how she can behave in school in the future!"
