Lu Youxi went back empty-handed without taking anything. Lu Zhenguo was silent for a moment and ultimately did not take anything back either.
The main thing is that his salary is now paid by Lu Youxi, and the money he earns is handed over to Liu Yusu.
Now that our family conditions are getting better and better, our expenses are also increasing.
The cost of Lu Youxue's schooling in the imperial capital was much higher than before.
Lu Youxue is a good student and has high demands on himself. He is determined to graduate from university in the future, have a promising future, support his family, and help Lu Youxi.
The students in their school, especially those with good grades, not only attend various tutoring classes, but also take various extracurricular interest classes to enhance their specialties.
It would have been fine if we didn’t have the conditions in Hexing Village before.
Now in the imperial capital, there are many things to learn.
As long as you have money, there is nothing you can't learn.
Liu Yusu unknowingly joined the ranks of those who raise their children under the influence.
After asking for Lu Youxue's opinion, while ensuring that his academic performance would not fall behind, he also enrolled him in a number of interest classes.
There is piano and swimming.
In addition, after seeing the world with Zhou Shuyan, he also enrolled Lu Youxue in an equestrian class.
These all cost a lot of money.
Lu Youxi has now handed over the management of the Internet cafe and the small restaurant to Liu Yusu.
Liu Yusu manages everything in order.
The Internet cafe hired network administrators to work in three shifts.
At the restaurant, she and Grandma Xu no longer cook themselves.
I hired an apprentice to cook according to her method and retain the original taste.
I also plan to expand the restaurant, add more dishes, and hire another chef after a while.
Now there is no need for Lu Youxi to give any extra money. The income from the Internet cafe and restaurant is enough for their daily expenses and there is still a lot of surplus to save.
But this also led to Lu Zhenguo's inability to save money. Liu Yusu knew exactly how much he earned in the Internet cafe every day. Apart from giving him a limited amount of pocket money, she took all the rest.
Now even if Lu Zhenguo wanted to buy something for the two elders of the Lu family, he had no money.
So he had no choice but to go to Ge Guifen's house with Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan, also empty-handed.
Liu Yusu did not follow them. She stayed in the kitchen with Grandma Xu at her home, chatting and preparing dinner.
Lu Youxi and the other two arrived at Ge Guifen's house, but the gate was not closed.
As the three of them stepped into the yard, they heard Ge Guifen's joyful voice, "That's good. Your father is coming out. He is so beautiful and capable, and he is going to marry into a wealthy family."
"I knew that Youzhen has a bright future and will be able to lead our family to a good life so soon." Just by listening to Ge Guifen's voice, you can tell that she is smiling from ear to ear.
"By the way, when your brother graduates, let Lin Jingshen arrange a job for your brother. Your brother wants to take the civil service exam, and with the Lin family's ability, it should be easy to arrange it for him, right?" Ge Guifen said again.
"Wait until your father comes out, and then find a job for him." Ge Guifen kept saying this, as if she was planning to let the Lin family directly support their entire family.
If it were possible to give each member of their family a sum of money every month without them having to work, I believe Ge Guifen would be able to come up with it.
Lu Youxi raised his eyebrows. The last time he saw Lu Youzhen and Lu Youbang together, there was still a little ambiguity between the two, but it was obvious that their relationship was not very close.
I didn't expect that they would be together so soon?
But I heard that Lin Jingshen has a fiancée.
But she also hadn't heard that Lin Jingshen had cancelled the engagement.
Moreover, given how snobbish Lin Zhenghao and his wife are, can they accept Lu Youzhen?
"Mom." Lu Youzhen's voice rang out from inside the door. "Don't worry yet. Wait until I have established myself in the Lin family. Will you and Dad still need to work? I will just support you."
"Okay, okay, I'll be waiting for you then." Ge Guifen said quickly, "But don't forget your brother's job. If it weren't for your brother, you wouldn't have had the chance to meet Lin Jingshen."
"Now it seems that my children are more capable," said Ge Guifen.
"If you ask me, why would my brother take the civil service exam? He can't even afford a house with the little salary he earns every month." Lu Youzhen curled her lips. "Besides, with my dad in jail, it's impossible for my brother to take the civil service exam. Instead of spending so much effort to find connections, he might as well just do business directly."
"When you make a lot of money in business, who cares about that little salary?"
"That's right." Ge Guifen said to Lu Youbang again, "Listen to your sister, she is going to be a rich lady, what she said must be right."
"I don't plan to take the civil service exam anymore." Lu Youbang said, "When the time comes, you can ask Lin Jingshen for some money to invest in me so that I can start my own business."
"Lu Youxi can do it. I have the starting capital, so how can I do worse than her?" When Lu Youbang talked about this, he was both unconvinced and confident.
"Yes, yes, yes." Ge Guifen nodded again, strongly supporting, "Your brother is definitely better than Lu Youxi. If Lu Youxi can do it, your brother can definitely do a bigger business."
Outside the door, before Lu Youxi laughed, Zhou Shuyan couldn't help but chuckled.
Ge Guifen's family is quite confident.
Do they think that if Lu Youxi can do it, Lu Youbang can do it too? Why don’t they think about the fact that Lu Youxi, who also went to Beijing University to study, was able to start from scratch and make it to where he is today?
Lu Youbang took the money raised by the entire Lu family, but he didn't think about how to work hard to make money. He just wanted to take shortcuts and find a girlfriend with good conditions to support him.
That's the difference.
Even so, Lu Youbang still thinks he is better than Lu Youxi.
Zhou Shuyan really admires this family's self-confidence.
"Got it." Lu Youzhen knew that Ge Guifen was reminding her in various ways that she was able to have where she is today thanks to Lu Youbang.
Without Lu Youbang's introduction, she would never have known Lin Jingshen.
Lu Youzhen pouted unhappily.
I thought I'd just deal with them perfunctorily for now.
When she marries Lin Jingshen, she will have a firm foothold in the Lin family and become the real young lady of the Lin family.
By then, the quality of Ge Guifen and Lu Youbang’s lives will depend on her wishes.
She wanted them to live well, and they lived well.
If you want them to have a hard time, they won't have a hard time.
They wanted money and they had to please her.
By that time, Ge Guifen would no longer dare to say in front of her that Lu Youbang was great and capable, nor would she dare to remind her that it was Lu Youbang who brought her her current life.
And Lu Youbang wants to do business?
It also depends on whether she is willing or not, and also depends on what business she wants him to do.
But now she has not married into the Lin family yet, so she still has to rely on Lu Youbang for advice and Lu Youbang's support from Lin Jingshen to think of a solution.
