As soon as Qi Ran finished speaking, the entire Lu family, who had been going about their own business, all looked over.
Old Mrs. Li blushed with anger: "What nonsense are you talking about! When did I ever give money to Chen Qianqian?"
When she said the last few words, perhaps lacking confidence, her voice gradually softened.
go.
Qi Ran sneered: "Then why did you agree to let us each only pay 50 yuan to our family?"
"I was only being biased towards you, but all my good intentions were taken for granted!" Old Mrs. Li continued to argue.
"If it's favoritism, why didn't you mention it when my man first started working? Why did you suddenly show favoritism only after Shen Qianqian's small shop opened?"
"Of course, if you can come up with a few hundred yuan right now, I'll pretend I never said anything. If you can't, then doesn't that mean you have something to hide?"
All of the family's savings had been spent by the eldest and fifth wives, leaving Old Lady Li with no money to spare.
She was completely speechless and felt deflated. The things she had kept hidden for so long were all revealed by Qi Ran in one go.
My heart was filled with mixed feelings.
The rest of the Lu family looked at each other in bewilderment. This was the first time they had ever seen Old Madam Li suffer such a setback, which meant that the matter was most likely true.
"Mom, just tell me the truth about how much money we have left." Lu Yunfeng, who had always been fawning over Old Lady Li, couldn't sit still any longer. Regardless of what Old Lady Li thought of him, he was the first to stand up and ask her.
"Not a single penny left..." Old Mrs. Li said guiltily, her voice barely audible.
These words struck the Lu family like a thunderbolt.
What?! There's not a single penny left in the house? The eldest and fifth sons spent it all! This is outrageous!
Old Man Lu, who had been sitting to the side smoking his pipe, also realized the seriousness of the situation. He took a deep drag on his pipe and exhaled a long plume of smoke: "The entire Lu family, come for a meeting!"
The entire Lu family sat around the table, waiting for Old Man Lu to speak.
Old Man Lu felt that Old Lady Li had done the right thing. After all, most of the family's money came from the eldest and fifth sons.
From the perspective of the other three families, it's understandable that they might feel that Old Lady Li is biased. He kept puffing on his pipe, his expression solemn, but he didn't say a word.
Old Mrs. Li was getting increasingly anxious. She shoved Old Man Lu, saying, "Say something! What are you doing, still smoking?"
Old Man Lu choked on the push and coughed several times before he recovered and said, "The eldest and second wives, you must find a way to gather the money you took from the family and give it to the family yourselves. In addition, from now on, you must hand over all your income every month!"
What Old Man Lu said was of no benefit to the eldest and second wives, but he was indeed speaking from the perspective of the other three wives.
He knew that his grandmother definitely wanted to maintain the status quo in the family, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to hide it for so long.
If the family doesn't want to split up, they have no choice but to stand on the same side as the other three families, which would mean the eldest and fifth families would have to suffer.
"We agree." Shen Qianqian and Lu Yunzhi agreed without the slightest hesitation. "Huh?" Old Man Lu thought he hadn't heard clearly and said again, "You took it from home..."
"With so much money going, it's normal to give it back to your family. You can't be a decent person..."
He hadn't finished speaking when Shen Qianqian interrupted him.
“Dad, I mean we agree to this approach.” Shen Qianqian didn’t forget to take a jab at the eldest son’s family: “We’re not like some people who only know how to give money away and have no gratitude at all.”
Qi Ran and Lu Yuncheng were both easily provoked, so they slammed their fists on the table and agreed to do it.
Law.
It wasn't until the meeting ended that Qi Ran realized she had been tricked by Shen Qianqian again!
She thought about it again. Her husband only earned two hundred yuan a month, but Shen Qianqian and Lu Yunzhi, one ran a small shop and the other a factory. They must earn more than her, right?
All in all, they definitely won't lose money in this round.
After the meeting, Shen Qianqian and Lu Yunzhi returned to their room and discussed the matter from that day.
Affection.
"The goods themselves are made by the system, with a cost price of 0. The selling price is our profit. Nobody knows about this except the two of us."
"So whether we make a lot of money or a little is entirely up to us," Shen Qianqian said, expressing her thoughts.
“I think the same thing as you.” Lu Yunzhi and Shen Qianqian were of the same mind. The operation of the factory and the small shop was ultimately up to them, and the amount they paid was also up to them.
After discussing it all night, they decided to pay a portion upfront, and then, under the pretext of expanding their business, directly get back the money that the eldest son had paid, along with the money they themselves had paid.
As for what will happen after they return, that's not something they need to consider.
Alright.
...
At the end of the month, Lu Yuncheng received his salary. He held onto the 200 yuan, but the thought of handing it over to his family made him feel uneasy.
Shen Qianqian and Lu Yunzhi took a total of 600 yuan and gave it to Old Lady Li in front of Lu Yuncheng and Qi Ran.
"Mom, this is the money for our room." Shen Qianqian then deliberately said to Lu Yuncheng, "Big brother,
I heard you got paid today too?
"Yes." Lu Yuncheng's lips twitched awkwardly. He had originally wanted to hide it and hold onto the 200 yuan for a few days, but Shen Qianqian had just said it so bluntly.
Seeing her eldest son's hesitant and evasive manner, Old Lady Li couldn't help but feel a little impatient: "Eldest son, you promised so readily back then, are you trying to go back on your word now?"
