Chapter 118: Chapter 116: Clarify_2

Lu Yun couldn’t care less about being suspected by her parents; after all, the things she’d done and the words she’d said recently had already become more and more "out of line."

Lu Aiguo, however, did not harbor any suspicions towards Lu Yun; instead, he nodded, feeling that what she said made sense. He had indeed overlooked his second sister just now. He had thought that there would be plenty of opportunities to compensate his second sister in the future, but he hadn’t carefully considered that no matter how he compensated her, it seemed to become a kind of "favor" to her, which was far less sincere and natural than giving her a half-share directly.

"The other ninety percent will be divided into three parts, one for Dad and one for Shitou. Even if Shitou is going to the army later, he is one of the people who put in a lot of effort at this critical time, and that’s something nobody can deny. So even if he becomes an absentee shopkeeper later, we can’t forget his contribution, and everyone will surely have no objections to him getting thirty percent, right? And the last thirty percent should be split evenly between Mom and me."

"But if we divide it this way, doesn’t Shitou still get the least? How is that different from what was said at the beginning? It’s still us three occupying the majority, which isn’t fair to Shitou," Xia Yuan still shook her head.

"Mom, all four of us are one family, right?" Lu Yun was somewhat helpless against her mother’s stubbornness.

"Right."

"Then what’s wrong with me dividing it according to each person’s contribution?"

"But..." Xia Yuan was still struggling.

"I think it’s fine, really good and reasonable."

Lu Aiguo analyzed Lu Yun’s words carefully, and after pondering for a long time, he nodded. He advised Xia Yuan, "Yuanyuan, even if I give you my share, it doesn’t mean we should erase your contribution completely. And Xiaoyun, even though she’s still small, she will grow up. The share that belongs to her must be in her own hands; we can’t ignore her share just because she’s small now."

Lu Aiguo had also come to a realization, "In the future, Xiaoyun will have her own money and property. What we give her and what she earns herself are two different things. If it weren’t for Xiaoyun, we couldn’t have brought things to this point today. Actually, the share we’re giving to Xiaoyun is still too little. And regarding Second Uncle and Second Sister, I also feel that Xiaoyun has thought things through more thoroughly than we have."

"I also agree with this division," Shitou nodded.

"Mom, it’s three against one, so you have to follow the majority," Lu Yun said playfully to Xia Yuan, then tried to console her. "Actually, how does it matter how it’s divided now, a little more or a little less? In the future, when we make so much money that we can’t even spend it all, whether it’s a little more or a little less won’t matter, right?"

This made everyone laugh.

"How could we ever have so much money that we can’t spend it all?" Xia Yuan took Lu Yun’s words just as childish talk, not taking them to heart at all.

"I believe there will be such a day."

Lu Aiguo believed it; in his heart, the lofty aspirations that had surged up that afternoon continued to churn, making him even more convinced that he could really achieve what his daughter had said, that one day they would make so much money that they couldn’t spend it all.

"I believe it, too." Shitou looked at Lu Yun as if he were commenting on the nice weather, with a sudden joyful laugh, without a hint of doubt in his heart about what she had said.

"You all just listen to a kid’s nonsense!"

Xia Yuan glared, then burst out laughing, "Fine, fine, I’ll just be outnumbered and wait for the day you earn mountains and seas of gold and silver just waiting for me to count the money."

"Hahaha... Wife, don’t worry, there really will be such a day," Lu Aiguo laughed proudly.

"Mom, you can’t just count money, you also need to know how to spend it. Women who don’t know how to spend money are loathed by men; you wouldn’t want to be loathed by Dad in the future, right?" Lu Yun laughed happily and still had the mood to tease her mother.

"How dare he? All the money he earns now and in the future is mine. If anyone is to loath, it’d be me loathing him in the future; it’s not his place to loathe me," Xia Yuan said confidently, looking at Lu Aiguo with a knowing smile.

"Exactly, exactly. Wife, don’t listen to our girl’s nonsense. In the future, I just want a little pocket money; anyway, I don’t smoke or drink, and I don’t have anywhere to spend it." Lu Aiguo first placated Xia Yuan with a pitiful face, then deliberately glared fiercely at Lu Yun, "I say, daughter, your mom wouldn’t really take that seriously, would she? It’d be so unfair if your dad got loathed, right?"

Xia Yuan looked at him as if to say, "Good that you understand," "As long as you behave, I might consider increasing your pocket money."

"Don’t worry, wife." Lu Aiguo nodded quickly.

"Mom, men become bad as soon as they have money; his pocket money definitely shouldn’t be increased," Lu Yun mischievously instigated, provoking Lu Aiguo to glare at her with an itchy-gritted hate, "Daughter, have I offended you today?"

"Mom, look how fierce Dad looks at me, so scary," Lu Yun laughed and rolled into her mother’s arms, unable to contain her joy.

"Honey, don’t bully your dad anymore; if he really gets mad, I’m not taking your side," Xia Yuan hugged Lu Yun and jokingly threatened her. Lu Yun immediately pouted unhappily and hummed, "Mom is so mean." Lu Aiguo instantly brightened up with a smile, "Wife, you’re the best to me, unlike this ungrateful kid, she’s really been pampered for nothing."

"You better talk less too; how old are you to be still bickering with a child? Are you really that proud?" Xia Yuan rebuked him unreservedly, and Lu Aiguo’s smiling face instantly fell. Lu Yun turned from gloomy to sunny and, hugging her mother, made exaggerated faces at Lu Aiguo with a triumphant glee, making Lu Aiguo grind his teeth in frustration.

Even Shitou couldn’t help but chuckle out loud.
