He thought of his sister, who was not only pale and thin with dry, yellow hair, but also so thin that she could be blown away by the wind.
Then look at the girl I met at the restaurant today. She's as plump and healthy as a white radish, and she's dressed beautifully too.
He naturally hoped that his younger sister could also grow up to be beautiful and radiant.
But all the good food, drinks, and useful things at home always belonged to the third brother, Fuxing.
My mother said that my third brother is the lucky star of the whole family, and he deserves the best treatment in the family.
As for others, they could only watch their younger brother eat and wear.
He and his sister, in particular, were constantly nagged by their mother because of their studies.
They said that their education was expensive, that their family was struggling financially, and that they should eat less and do more work.
Apart from the occasional gifts their eldest brother sends them, they rarely get new clothes.
So for a moment, Liu Shihua hesitated.
Then he thought, this money was earned by Lele herself, so he doesn't seem to have the right to decide.
Therefore, he shook his head and said, "Lele, this money is yours to earn, and your second brother has no right to decide how to use it."
If he had earned the money himself, he might have given most of it to his mother and kept only a small portion for himself.
Of course, this decision was made after his sister asked him the question and he thought about it.
If his sister hadn't asked WB that question, he probably would have just given all the money to his mother.
He is a filial son, and having listened to his mother's brainwashing words so often, he felt that there was absolutely nothing wrong with what he was doing.
After going out and experiencing all these things, he realized that it would be really inconvenient if he didn't have some money on hand.
His answer surprised Liu Shile.
In her memory, her second brother was extremely filial.
Aside from being exceptionally persistent in his studies, he goes along with his family in everything else, especially his mother.
She felt that if her second brother continued like that, he was very likely to grow up to be a person who was blindly obedient to his parents.
But now it seems that her second brother still has a lot of room for growth.
That's perfect, then she won't have to lie, and there won't be any hidden problems in the relationship between the siblings.
She smiled and shook her head, "If it weren't for my second brother's accidental discovery, I wouldn't have been able to get these things."
So it's naturally considered as money we earned together, and Second Brother has the right to decide how to use it.
She paused for a moment before adding, "Second brother, if everything goes smoothly, they can be exchanged for three thousand yuan."
"Lele, how much do you want?"
Just as Liu Shile was about to reveal the allocation plan, she was interrupted by her second brother's exclamation.
This was the first time Liu Shihua had interrupted his sister; he simply couldn't believe the numbers he was hearing.
He had seen 10,000 yuan only exchanged for 10 yuan, but he had never seen 500 yuan exchanged for 3,000 yuan. That was too unbelievable!
After exclaiming, he quickly covered his mouth, afraid that the sound would be too loud and others would hear.
At that moment, he was very glad that he hadn't said the word "money" in his excitement, otherwise someone would definitely have overheard him!
Uh, it seems my second brother's tolerance isn't very high.
She doesn't even consider that these days, apart from the wealthy, who among the general public has that much money?
That's a huge sum of money, it's like an astronomical figure, right?
Even if this money is kept for twenty or thirty years, it will still be a considerable sum!
So it's perfectly understandable that Liu Shihua was frightened.
It would be abnormal if he wasn't frightened.
Seeing that her younger sister was about to speak, Liu Shihua quickly shook her head, "Lele, don't say anything yet, you're like this."
Liu Shihua lowered her voice very low, and while speaking, she dipped her hand in water and wrote the character "写" on the table.
Liu Shile found it amusing; her second brother was indeed being a bit too cautious.
However, she still nodded obediently and wrote three thousand yuan on the table with her wet hand.
Looking at this concrete number, Liu Shihua felt her heart pounding.
This is unbelievable! What kind of money is that that can be exchanged for so much?
It took Liu Shihua a while to recover, and then she started to worry again.
"Lele, are you asking about that girl at the restaurant? Is she reliable? She's not just trying to fool us, is she?"
Although the girl was very pretty, well-dressed, and seemed to come from a good family.
But what if she was just teasing her own sister? Wouldn't that make them happy for nothing?
Liu Shile found it amusing, "Second Brother, just relax and you'll know when it's your turn tomorrow."
After that, she began to talk about her allocation plan.
Her thinking was simple: if she could get three thousand, she and her brother would each get half.
As for how to use the money, that's entirely up to them.
Finally, Liu Shile added, "Second brother, I think we shouldn't give Mom too much money."
Otherwise, what if Mom wants us to go out and earn that much money again next year during the holidays?
Although she earned the money very easily, that's just who she is. Try it on someone else.
If it weren't for her eldest sister's consistently good treatment of the original owner, Liu Shile wouldn't have been willing to give so much money to her family.
Didn't you notice that when they left, all the money they had added up to was less than five yuan?
In her opinion, going back home and giving her a hundred or so yuan would be enough.
After all, the family not only had several hundred yuan in savings, but also some gold and silver jewelry and three small yellow croakers!
Their mother didn't bring out those things, and kept complaining about being poor. What does that mean?
She was reluctant to think too badly of people, but she also didn't want to be a fool.
"This...it shouldn't be, right?" Liu Shihua hesitated.
But deep down, he already felt that his mother was very likely to do that.
"Well, then, we'll give 300 to Mom, and you can keep the rest, Lele."
Don't even mention sharing half with me, Second Brother can't accept it.
If it weren't for his sister's circumstances, he probably would have died, and his sister would have been implicated as well.
Seeing her second brother's sincere expression, Liu Shi nodded to herself.
My second brother is really great; not everyone can refuse such a large sum of money.
He was sincere, so Liu Shile naturally wouldn't let him suffer a loss.
To be honest, she was able to get this money because of her second brother.
She couldn't possibly take the lion's share of the farm produce and divide it directly with her second brother.
But of all that was taken out, half had to be given to the second brother.
In fact, she really doesn't care about money. In her opinion, nothing is more important than being well-fed and watered.
Although it was a relatively peaceful era, resources were severely scarce.
Therefore, she still needs to work hard on many things herself.
So she said firmly, "You must accept this money, Second Brother. As for what you want to do with it, that's up to you."
She used to think that her second brother would become blindly filial, which is why she asked that question before.
But now it seems that my second brother might just not have thought that much about it.
Her second brother's answer was somewhat different from what she had expected.
It's not easy, but it's still better than foolishly handing over most or all of your money to your family.
