Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

After lunch break, Liu Xu said hello to her mother and jumped to go to Liu Xing'er's house. When Zhang saw her, she just rolled her eyes and muttered a few words in a low voice. Liu Xu didn't hear clearly and ignored her. Anyway, she didn't say anything good about herself.

Knocking on the door, opening it, and Xing'er enthusiastically pulling her into the house, this seemed to be the standard for Liu Xu when she came to this house.

"Haha, Xu'er, you're finally here! I'm telling you, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep at noon."

After all, she is still an eight-year-old child. Unlike me, the old cucumber is painted green. Liu Xing'er's behavior is that of a normal child! But it doesn't stop her from pretending to be thirteen:

"It's not that serious. We should stay calm! These are all little Karami!"

"What, what eggs, what millet?" Liu Xing'er was confused.

"Hehe, I just mean you have to calm down, these are just small things!" Forgive her for almost laughing out loud.

"Oh, let's go, my parents are in the inner room!" He said without hesitation and took his little sisters to find his parents.

"Uncle San, Aunt San, Brother Shuisheng!" After entering the house, Liu Xu greeted everyone with a smile.

"Xu girl is here! Come and sit down!" Although her husband had communicated with her, Chen Lan couldn't help but get excited when she saw Liu Xu. Looking at her now was like looking at a gold ingot!

"Ahem." Liu Changshun coughed twice in embarrassment, and Chen Lan restrained herself a little, but still looked at Liu Xu with a smile. Liu Changshun ignored her.

"Xu girl, come here. This is the money you gave to your aunt today, and some pastries given by Manager Chang. Order them first, and we can talk about other things later." Liu Changshun went straight to the point.

"Oh, Third Uncle, no need to order. I don't believe that others can not believe you and Third Aunt! You hurt my heart when you say that."

Liu Xu put on a pitiful look, which made the two adults and two children laugh out loud.

"Puchi, you girl...you still can't accept that your uncle is wrong. Just don't click, your third uncle still wants to talk to you about profit sharing!" Liu Changshun stopped smiling and looked at Liu Xu seriously.

Liu Xu's heart skipped a beat: What? Did they think Xing'er and the others got too little? After all, I was the one who came up with the idea. They took the lion's share of the mushroom picking, and Xing'er and the others were also busy drying the mushrooms... It didn't seem too much to ask for more. I'll listen to what they say first. If it's really too much, I can refuse to cooperate.

Thinking of this, Liu Xu smiled and asked without showing any trace, "Didn't we agree before that if we make money, we three will share it equally? Does Third Uncle think there is something wrong with that?"

Xing'er and Shuisheng also looked at their parents in confusion.

Liu Changshun didn't care and didn't know what Liu Xu was thinking, so he went straight to the point and said:

"Xu girl, it's like this. I discussed it with your third aunt and I feel that it is not appropriate to divide it equally among the three of us."

Liu Xu raised an eyebrow when he heard this.

"Look, you started this business, you came up with the idea, and you negotiated Zuiyunxuan. Xing'er and Shuisheng, at most, just ran errands for you and did some work, so there's no need to give them so much. So your third aunt and I decided that you only need to give them 200 coins each as wages, which can be considered as you hiring them to help, and you can take the rest."

As Liu Changshun spoke, he looked at his children again. Seeing that although there was some regret on their faces, there was no resentment, he felt relieved.

"Don't feel that you've treated them unfairly. You know, two hundred coins for four days is better than what I, your uncle, can earn by working outside. If it weren't for you, they wouldn't even get five coins, let alone fifty."

These words were said not only to Liu Xu, but also to his own children.

Sure enough, there was no regret on the faces of Xing'er and his sister. They returned to their previous cheerfulness and looked as if it was natural.

"How can that be possible, Third Uncle? The three of us agreed long ago that a man without integrity cannot stand.

This money is one for each of us three, and we must divide it equally.

If it weren't for you and Third Aunt today, we wouldn't have been able to sell it so smoothly.

So I have decided to take out 200 coins from the total amount as a reward for your and Third Aunt’s hard work.

Leave another 150 coins for the subsequent purchase of dustpans and other expenses.

The remaining money will be divided among the three of us, and each person will get exactly 600 coins."

Liu Xu didn't expect that not only did the other party not want to ask for more, but also wanted to give it all to her, which made her feel guilty and warm at the same time. So she immediately objected and told him her plan.

Well, not only did I fail to persuade him, I also let him take more of my property. Liu Changshun felt helpless and looked at his wife for help.

Chen Lan understood, reached out and gently pulled the catkins over, and said gently:

"Xu girl, listen to your uncle. I know you are a good kid, but I can't take advantage of you so easily. I am already very grateful that you can help Xing'er and Shuisheng make money. Don't ever mention the split again, or how will I face your mother in the future? Besides, if this gets out, won't I be scolded? Can you bear to see me being scolded?"

After saying that, he looked at Liu Xu pitifully.

Liu Xu was confused.

From her previous life to this life, she has seen countless people who would do anything for money, but she has never seen anyone who thinks money is too little.

She has always been a person who fights back with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, so this has made her a little confused.

"No, Third Aunt, we three clearly agreed on this long ago. You and Third Uncle are putting me in an unfair position by doing this. Who would dare to cooperate with me in the future, right?"

"This……"

Liu Changshun and his wife looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.

"No!" At this time a clear voice sounded, drawing everyone's attention.

"Xu'er, you didn't say that the three of us would split it equally. You said you would take me with you to make money, but you didn't say we would split it equally. I was the one who begged you to take my brother with you. My parents are right. We are good sisters. I can't take advantage of you like this!"

Liu Xing'er looked at Liu Xu, and the determination in her eyes made Liu Xu stunned.

This family really...it's worth her trusting them.

She looked at Liu Xing'er, her lips slightly raised, her eyes full of emotion.

"Xing'er, you don't have to be so serious. There's no need to make such a clear distinction between us." Liu Xu said softly.

"No, Xu'er, let's put things one thing at a time. We can't be confused." Liu Xing'er still insisted.

Shuisheng on the side also nodded and said: "Sister is right, we can't let you suffer any loss."

Liu Xu smiled helplessly, but in her heart she felt more and more that this family was lovely and precious.

"Well, since you insist, let's discuss how to divide it. But I absolutely cannot agree to Uncle San's request of 200 coins per person. Otherwise, how can I have the face to ask you for help in the future?"

So, several people sat together and discussed seriously, sometimes arguing, sometimes laughing. The simple and sincere atmosphere spread in the air, as if even the air around them became exceptionally warm.

Finally, Liu Xu made a firm decision: this time and in the future, the money from the sale of mushrooms they picked in this season will be divided into 60% for Liu Xu and 40% for Xing'er's family. She no longer mentioned paying Liu Changshun and his family. Just treat it as a partnership between the two families. Xing'er, Shuisheng, and Liu Changshun and his wife also said that in the future, they would divide the money earned from mushrooms into three parts, 20% for the family, and 10% for each of the brother and sister to keep, but they were not allowed to spend it carelessly.

After the discussion, they started to divide the money. Liu Xu got 1290 wen, Xing'er and her brother each got 215 wen, and the remaining 430 wen was kept by Liu Changshun and his wife.

After dividing the money, they arranged and divided the work. Xiao Sanzhi continued to be responsible for picking, Chen Lan helped with drying at home, and the delivery was left to Liu Changshun.

They carefully planned their future and were determined to work together to make their lives better. Their friendship became deeper and stronger during the discussion and became their strongest support on the road ahead.

Seeing that the sun had already set, the three children agreed to go to pick grass and mushrooms early the next morning. Liu Xu took the basket given by Chen Lan and went home.

In the basket were Xing'er and Shuisheng's old clothes that Chen Lan had packed. One was for Liuxu, and the other was for Xu Ruolan to make smaller for her unborn baby.

Of course, this was actually to cover up the copper coins and snacks wrapped in the clothes. Shopkeeper Chang gave three packets, and Chen Lan originally wanted to give two packets to Liu Xu and keep one packet for Xing'er and the others to sweeten their mouths. After all, these snacks were given by Shopkeeper Chang for Xu'er's sake.

In the end, Liu Xu refused the offer, saying that the shopkeeper had prepared one pack for each person.

Willow Catkins, in a happy mood, went home humming a tune.
