Wang Xiuhua was angered by Sun Gui's comment that she was from an outsider, and immediately started arguing with Sun Gui.
“Am I an outsider? At least my children have the surname Li. You, as a son-in-law, have no right to speak like this.”
Seeing that the two were about to argue even more fiercely, Li Junsheng frowned and stopped them, saying, "Both of you shut up. I'll decide how to split the money!"
It was clear that Wang Xiuhua and Sun Gui were quite resentful, but since they still needed Li Junsheng to share the money, they didn't dare to go against him.
Sun Gui said to Li Junsheng insincerely, "Dad, I just felt that my sister-in-law's words were disheartening. Chun Ya married me, so she's still your daughter. This son-in-law is worth half a son!"
In order to earn more money, Sun Gui was willing to go all out and said all sorts of nice things.
Li Junsheng ignored him and instead said coldly to Wang Xiuhua, "I said we'll split it equally, so we'll split it equally. You think 275 is too little? If you think it's too little, then don't take it. I won't give it to you then."
Upon hearing this, Li Guojun's heart tightened. He quickly pulled Wang Xiuhua down to sit and said to Li Junsheng with a smile, "Dad, don't be angry. We don't think 275 is too little."
"Xiuhua also wants to think more about the child, so she gave you her opinion. But the specifics are not for you to decide."
"If it really comes down to it, then we can split it equally. I have no objection!"
Wang Xiuhua looked at Li Guojun in surprise, not expecting him to compromise with Li Junsheng so easily.
"Are you stupid? If you can get more, why not get more?"
Wang Xiuhua asked Li Guojun softly, but Li Guojun didn't answer. He just kept giving her meaningful looks, telling her to stop making trouble.
The situation is overwhelming now; his father is determined to make this decision and won't tolerate any objections from others!
You can tell from how unpleasantly your father and mother had their argument.
Another reason is that Li Junsheng has lost his job. Li Guojun is thinking that if he doesn't take the money now, he might not be able to get any money from him later!
It's better to stop while you're ahead!
Li Guojun secretly rejoiced that Li Junsheng hadn't included the 180 yuan he and his second brother had asked for in the calculation; the old man had already let him off the hook.
If it weren't for this 180 yuan, Li Junsheng would still want to split the money equally, which Li Guojun definitely wouldn't be willing to do!
With 180 yuan, he still received more than his other siblings, and Li Guojun felt it was fair and could barely accept it.
"Stop making a scene, let Dad split it equally!"
Knowing he had gotten the better deal, Li Guojun whispered to Wang Xiuhua, telling her to stop messing around so as not to ruin the good thing.
The old man said he wouldn't give him any money, and Li Guojun believed him that he really wouldn't give him a single penny!
He's changed a lot lately; he's no longer a coward and has become much more shrewd.
"Dad, we have no objection. We agree to you split the money equally. Give us the two hundred and seventy-five now."
Li Guojun directly asked Li Junsheng for the 275 yuan, thinking he could pocket it as soon as possible.
Seeing Li Guojun's eagerness to ask for money, Li Junsheng sneered inwardly, knowing exactly what he was up to!
Do you really think he's forgotten about that 180 yuan?
Even if the boss doesn't give it to him, Li Junsheng has plenty of ways to get away with it, so he won't gain any advantage.
"Wait, I'll give you some money!"
Li Junsheng spat on his right thumb, index, and middle fingers, then counted out 95 yuan from the 1,100 yuan bill and handed it to Li Guojun.
Li Guojun was initially quite happy, but upon seeing that there was only ninety-five yuan, his expression immediately changed. He forced a smile and said to Li Junsheng, "Dad, this isn't enough for two hundred and seventy-five yuan. You've given too little!"
"No, you already got 180 from Guohua, that's included in that, so it's 275. Subtract 180, and that's 95 yuan, isn't it?"
Li Junsheng handed the money to Li Guojun again, but Li Guojun looked disgusted and didn't want to take the ninety-five yuan at all.
At the same time, Li Guojun quickly calculated the difference in his mind. If his father gave him 180 yuan less, wouldn't that mean the second, third, and fourth sons would each get an extra 60 yuan?
How can this be allowed?
In the end, I only got 275 yuan less, while the other three got more than 300 yuan!
The second son, Li Guohua, and Ji Xiaocui didn't immediately think about getting a larger share of the money; instead, they were surprised that Li Junsheng would stand up for them.
Although Li Guohua and his wife didn't say anything, they were bothered by Li Guojun's insistence on taking the 180-meter route regardless of Xiaowei's life and safety.
Now that Li Junsheng has taken the initiative to stand up for them, Li Guohua feels much better.
"Dad, when did my eldest brother ask my second brother for 180 yuan?"
Li Chunya asked Li Junsheng in surprise, unaware that Li Guojun had asked Li Guohua for money!
Xiao Wei was sick and needed money for hospitalization. Li Guohua immediately contacted Li Xiaoyu, but Li Xiaoyu only had a little over two yuan left, and had given the rest to Ma Yulian.
Li Guohua was worried that Li Chunya was having a hard time at her parents' home, so he never went to see her.
Therefore, Li Chunya was still unaware of what had happened between Li Guojun and Li Guohua.
Li Junsheng did not show favoritism towards Li Guojun and told Li Chunya the truth about what he had done!
Li Chunya was surprised and felt a little helpless. She hadn't expected her elder brother to be so indifferent to his nephew's life or death.
"Dad, don't make such a fuss. The second son's medical treatment for Xiaowei won't cost that much. It's not wrong for me to ask him for the extra money back, but you can't give me less money because of this!"
"You're clearly biased towards the second brother and the others. You say you'll split the money equally, but it's not fair at all. You have 1,100 in your hands, but you only gave me 95!"
"So, for the extra money in this sum, are you going to give each of them an extra sixty yuan? Only mine is two hundred and seventy-five yuan. I don't want the ninety-five yuan. You have to give me two hundred and seventy-five yuan. The one hundred and eighty yuan doesn't count."
Li Guojun was furious, as was Wang Xiuhua; the two of them almost overturned the table!
Sun Gui, standing to the side, was both gloating and excitedly rubbing his hands together.
If I could really have more than three hundred yuan, that would be great!
Faced with Li Guojun's calculations, Li Junsheng simply said, "Can't I keep some of the extra 180 yuan for my own retirement? I said it would be 275 yuan per person, no one will get more, and no one will get less."
Wang Xiuhua immediately retorted to Li Junsheng, "I disagree. Father-in-law, if you want your retirement money, you can wait until the money is divided up and then each of you can give a little something. If you do that, we'll be the ones paying for your retirement, which is unfair!"
Wang Xiuhua wanted to cheat on Li Junsheng, hoping to get the money first and then use it to morally blackmail the others.
Let others give Li Junsheng some more money; he has enough for his retirement. She and Li Guojun can simply not give him anything then!
Li Junsheng's face was as cold as ice. He knew what she was up to, but he didn't treat her with any courtesy just because she was a woman.
"After I've divided all the money, do you and the boss still expect me to give you more? Do you think I don't know what kind of people you two are? Stop trying to scheme. It's just ninety-five yuan. If you don't want the money, get lost. This is none of your business!"
