He never thought that coming with Li Chunya today would bring him such good fortune!
Not only could he enjoy a great meal and drinks, but his father-in-law was actually going to give Li Chunya money.
Her money was his money after all!
He didn't know how much money his father-in-law had gotten from selling his job, but he had to find a way to help Li Chunya get more.
Once this money was in his hands, it would be enough for him to live extravagantly for a while!
Actually, Li Chunya didn't care about this money from Li Junsheng at all. She just wanted him to think of her as his daughter.
Besides, Li Chunya knew that even if her father gave her money, Sun Gui would take it all for drinking, gambling, and eating. It would be better to give it to her other brothers and sisters.
Li Chunya thought that even her mother might not agree to give her any money.
She always said that married daughters belonged to other families!
Thinking of this, Li Chunya only cared about Li Junsheng and asked about his reason for selling his job.
"Father, the machinery factory is a good job. Why did you sell it? Did you run into trouble or get cheated?"
These words made Ma Yulian feel that Li Chunya was secretly insulting her.
Who could cheat Li Junsheng? Everyone knew that Li Junsheng only listened to her, Ma Yulian!
No one else could cheat Li Junsheng except her.
Ma Yulian felt personally attacked, her face darkened, and she immediately scolded Li Chunya, "Just drink your soup. Why so many words? So annoying, no wonder you get beaten! You should be happy to get money."
"You actually came when called. Have no shame! Who cares about their daughter-in-law thinking about family things?"
Li Chunya was completely stunned. She didn't expect that her two sentences would provoke such a heart-wrenching scolding from her own mother.
Li Junsheng, concerned about Li Chunya's feelings, immediately defended her!
"Shut up, do you talk to your daughter like that? Chunya wasn't even talking to you, why do you butt in?"
After scolding Ma Yulian, Li Junsheng immediately comforted Li Chunya, "Don't mind your mother, she's crazy. I did it to repay Chen Dazhu's life-saving grace."
"Chen Dazhu wanted to borrow my job. He said it was a loan, but who knows if he'll return it. Your mother insisted I give the job to Chen Dazhu's son. To have some security, I decided to sell the job!"
Li Chunya and Li Xiaoyu finally understood the whole story. It turned out it was all because of their mother's obsession with repaying some life-saving grace.
How many years had it been? That favor should have been repaid long ago!
Li Xiaoyu sighed, feeling that her father lacked decisiveness but was glad he was finally thinking about getting some security.
Otherwise, they would just keep losing out!
Li Chunya was also very concerned about Li Junsheng. He had lost his pensionable job just because Ma Yulian wanted to repay some life-saving grace.
It would be hard to find another job at his age after selling the job at the machinery factory!
"Father, what will you do now? This money... why don't you keep it?"
Li Chunya was about to say she didn't want the money from selling the job, but under the table, Sun Gui stomped on her foot hard.
Li Chunya turned her head and saw Sun Gui glaring at her fiercely, telling her not to cause trouble. He wanted this money whether Li Junsheng gave it or not!
On the other hand, Wang Xiuhua was secretly rolling her eyes at Li Chunya.
She thought Li Chunya was putting on a good act here, trying to win her father-in-law's favor to get more money. That's what her sister-in-law really wanted!
"Father, Chunya is right..."
"Father, we're still young and can work to earn our own living."
Li Guohua and Li Xiaoyu both expressed that they weren't interested in Li Junsheng's money and wanted him to keep it for himself.
Li Junsheng felt deeply moved, but still said, "No need, Father can still earn money. This money will be divided among you. I got a thousand for selling the job, after expenses, there's eight hundred left. Since we're dividing both family and money, I'll have your mother share all her savings with you."
Li Junsheng put down his chopsticks and took out the remaining eight hundred dollars.
Li Chunya and Li Xiaoyu still found it strange. Their father was still healthy, why was he dividing up his savings?
They didn't know that Li Junsheng wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of the "vampire" Elder Brother and scatter his money, so he wouldn't keep thinking about what was in his hands.
Without Elder Brother watching him, he could do what he wanted.
Otherwise, it would never end.
Li Junsheng didn't rush to divide the money, but looked at Ma Yulian.
"Take out your savings too. Divide everything among the children and let them run their own households!"
"Xiaoyu, keep your wages from now on. You don't need to give them to Father and Mother anymore."
Li Junsheng didn't forget to remind his youngest daughter, so she wouldn't be exploited!
Li Xiaoyu's eyes lit up. She had long been tired of being exploited by Ma Yulian.
In the past two years, although she had given her wages to Ma Yulian, Li Xiaoyu had secretly saved a little bit for herself.
When Ma Yulian saw she had to take out her money, she was reluctant and hesitated, saying, "You divide your money first. I'll take mine out later!"
Talking about this eight hundred dollars, Ma Yulian was angry. She couldn't keep it and had to share it with Li Junsheng.
The money wasn't in her hands, so she couldn't make the decision!
Li Junsheng didn't follow Ma Yulian's suggestion to divide the money first, but deliberately asked in front of Li Guojun and his wife, "You didn't bring the money back? Did you lend it to someone at your brother's house to earn interest? Even if they didn't return the principal, they should at least pay the interest, right?"
Li Guojun had been thinking about Ma Yulian's money. When Li Junsheng asked, he immediately followed up, "Yes, Mother, did Uncle not want to give you the money? That's not right. That's our money!"
"Let's go to Uncle's house and get the money. She might be too embarrassed to ask."
Wang Xiuhua suggested going to get the money. She was afraid that Ma Yulian would favor her family and not want to share the money with her children.
Ma Yulian couldn't handle Li Guojun and his wife, so she had to take out the three hundred dollars she had gotten from her brother!
"I got it all back. It's all here. Why go to Uncle's house?"
Seeing Ma Yulian take out the money, Sun Gui was amazed.
His father-in-law and mother-in-law were so capable?
Not only did they make a fortune from selling the job, but they also lent money to earn interest!
If he had known his father-in-law was so rich, he would have asked Li Chunya to get more money from her family.
But it wasn't too late now. He had to find a way to get more money for Li Chunya during this money division!
Li Chunya and Li Xiaoyu were even more surprised. The sisters said in unison, "Mother is so smart? She can make money from money!"
When Ma Yulian took out her money, Li Guojun and Wang Xiuhua immediately checked the amount.
Seeing only three hundred dollars, Li Guojun and Wang Xiuhua immediately showed their dissatisfaction.
"Mother, why is it only this much? Father's wages over the years should be more than three hundred, right?"
Li Guojun turned to ask Ma Yulian, while Wang Xiuhua took out her account book and started calculating.
"Since I married into the family, I've kept track of every expense. I know exactly how much should be saved. There's no way it's only this much. Mother, you're keeping so much money from us, what are you planning to do with it?"
