"Three hundred dollars is too little? I should be asking what you're up to! You stay at home all day without a job, and you're complaining about three hundred dollars? If you don't want this three hundred, I won't give it to you!"
"You don't know anything, just holding a ledger and making random calculations. We've already said the money was lent and hasn't matured yet. How can I get it all back? It's like I don't want to get it back. Who made you suddenly demand a family division?"
Ma Yulian angrily retorted to Wang Xiuhua's words. Wang Xiuhua confidently said, "If we can't get it back, we still need to find a way. Otherwise, how can we divide the family today?"
"Let me tell you, if the family savings aren't recovered, there's no need to divide the family. How can we divide fairly?"
Wang Xiuhua slammed the ledger on the table, crossed her arms, and looked extremely dissatisfied.
She was counting on Ma Yulian to recover all these years of savings so she and Li Guojun could get a big sum of money!
But there was only three hundred, such a small amount. What would they get?
On the contrary, Li Junsheng turned to look at Ma Yulian and knew that Chen Dazhu couldn't come up with much more money.
He didn't even know where Ma Yulian got these three hundred dollars.
Although three hundred wasn't particularly much, Li Junsheng knew that for Ma Yulian now, it was hard-earned!
There was no need to force her to take out more money, otherwise it would be counterproductive, and Ma Yulian would even take back these three hundred.
Thinking of this, Li Junsheng actually spoke up to help Ma Yulian.
"Enough, don't make it difficult for her. Let's divide these three hundred today first. When the deposits are recovered later, we can divide again."
With Ma Yulian's own lies before, Li Guojun and Wang Xiuhua would definitely keep thinking about Ma Yulian's money!
At that time, these two would rack their brains to get money from Ma Yulian's hands, and he would be spared their attention.
It was better than forcing Ma Yulian to take out more money now!
Li Junsheng had recently gained considerable prestige in front of Li Guojun. Maybe it was also because of the fear of being beaten. With him speaking up for Ma Yulian, Li Guojun didn't dare to say anything else.
He just tugged at Wang Xiuhua's arm, telling her to calm down, at least get the money in hand today!
There would be plenty of time later.
Besides, he could use his father's name to ask his younger brother for money, so of course he could use the same trick, using Ma Yulian's name to ask his uncle Ma Weidong for money!
Afraid of not getting the money?
This way of asking his uncle for money would save him from having to share with other brothers and sisters!
Li Guojun quietly made his own calculations.
No matter what Li Junsheng's reasons were, he had helped Ma Yulian out of trouble, but Ma Yulian didn't appreciate it at all!
Instead, she scolded him, "It's all your fault for insisting on dividing the family. Now you're playing the good guy, how fake! Who are you showing off to?"
Li Junsheng automatically treated Ma Yulian's words as if they were passing through one ear and out the other.
He quickly grabbed the three hundred dollars in front of Ma Yulian.
Ma Yulian wanted to grab it back, but she was ultimately slower than Li Junsheng.
Ma Yulian was furious. Once this money was in Li Junsheng's hands, she couldn't get it back!
But if he took the money, at least she was off the hook, saving her from the constant troublemaking of the older couple.
Since the money would be divided between the two daughters anyway, Ma Yulian secretly thought that she couldn't control Li Junsheng now, but she could still control the two daughters.
Once Li Junsheng divided this money to them, she could get it back!
Maybe she could even get more than three hundred.
A married daughter and a girl who would eventually marry shouldn't get this money in the first place. Getting it back would be perfectly justified!
Thinking of this, Ma Yulian's spirits lifted, and she wasn't always frowning.
Li Junsheng saw her subtle expressions and couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Ma Yulian was a woman full of bad intentions!
In just a moment, she could come up with a bad idea.
"Father, let's do it this way. Let's divide the money quickly."
"Father, how do you plan to divide this money?"
Li Guojun and Wang Xiuhua couldn't wait for Li Junsheng to divide the money, and Sun Gui was eyeing the money in Li Junsheng's hand hungrily!
Li Junsheng counted the money and decided to divide it equally between the four children.
"For fairness, we'll divide these eleven hundred dollars equally. Each family gets two hundred and seventy-five dollars."
Li Junsheng didn't ask if they agreed. Except for the older couple, the other three children would definitely have no objections!
The opinions of Li Guojun and Wang Xiuhua weren't important to Li Junsheng.
After all, Li Guojun and Wang Xiuhua were greedy. As soon as Li Junsheng said the money would be divided equally, Wang Xiuhua was the first to object, disagreeing!
"Father, I disagree with your way of dividing the money. You can give a bit to the unmarried daughter, but why divide it equally? That's unfair. Our family has two children, while the second family only has one. We should divide according to the number of people in each family."
Wang Xiuhua's words offended Li Chunya and Li Guohua's family.
Her words clearly targeted the already married Li Chunya. According to her, Li Chunya shouldn't get this money since she was married!
Also, the second family had fewer people, so they should get less.
In front of Ji Xiaocui, she was even stabbing at the heart!
"Besides, your sister-in-law's parents are gone, so your brother doesn't have to support two people. It won't cost that much, so there's no need to give them more."
"Big Sister-in-law, you're being too excessive."
Ji Xiaocui was so angry she trembled all over. She had never seen anyone like Wang Xiuhua.
Using her parents' death as a reason to single her out!
Li Guohua had a dark face, confronting his elder brother.
With his sister-in-law being so excessive, he didn't even try to control her!
Actually, Li Guojun was so focused on dividing the money that he didn't care about anything else. Even normally, he and Wang Xiuhua bullying Li Guohua and his wife was the norm.
How could he control Wang Xiuhua?
Seeing his children about to quarrel, Ma Yulian gloated at Li Junsheng.
She picked up her chopsticks, picked a piece of pork rib into her bowl, and mocked Li Junsheng, "Oh, insisting on dividing the family, won't listen no matter what we say."
"Then divide it. I'll see if you can divide this family. Several debt collectors, can't divide less to any of them. I'll see what you do!"
After mocking, Ma Yulian kept eating meat. Since Li Junsheng had already bought all this, she had to eat more. She couldn't let Li Junsheng eat it all for nothing.
As for Sun Gui, he couldn't care less about the fish and meat on the table. He interjected angrily, giving Ma Yulian a good scolding!
"Big Sister-in-law, who are you targeting? According to you, Li Chunya shouldn't get money after getting married, right? She's at least Father's daughter. How selfish can you be?"
"Just now you were offering to wash her hair and give her shampoo. Were you just pretending to be nice? When it comes to money, you don't care about your face."
"To talk about outsiders, you're the outsider who married into the family! Li Chunya at least has the surname Li!"
