Chapter 846: Hidden Nouveau Riche
That money is everything Lu Cheng has but he gave it all to him. One year after that incident, he became one of the middlemen in the black market and made a lot of money. So, he asked Bajie to pay Lu Cheng’s dividends.

Houzi remembered that when Lu Cheng gave him money, he told him that since he gave them the capital to start a business, he would give him 20% of their income. Unexpectedly, Lu Cheng misunderstood that the dividends passed to him were for repayment of the money he gave him.

After Houzi understood the situation, he smiled and said, “Brother Cheng, that money is not used to repay the money I borrowed. That is your annual dividend. Didn’t I tell you that you provide the funds for our business and I will give you 20% of our net income?”

“What? When did you say that?” Lu Cheng asked in surprise.

“On the day you gave me 50 yuan,” said Houzi.

Lu Cheng was stunned for a while before asking, “So, you mean, I also have a share in your business?”

Houzi nodded and explained, “I asked Bajie to send your shares, give you a report about how much money we made that year, and also tell you to visit us to get your shares every year. But after the first year, you have never visited me to get the money.”

“I thought you wanted me to use your money to expand our business. So, I used your share and added it to the capital. Seven years later, your share in our business has reached 60%.”

“Now that we have suspended operations due to some circumstances, we have calculated the past 5 months’ income and everyone’s shares. The question I want to discuss with you is this. Do you want to take your share now or wait until the end of the year?” he asked.

Knowing that Houzi was one of the largest middlemen in the black market, Lu Cheng asked, “Brother Houzi, how much can I get for my share?”

Houzi did the math in his mind and said, “Including the last five months’ income, your total share in the past seven years should be about 980,000 yuan.”

Lu Cheng was startled and exclaimed, “980,000 yuan?!”

Houzi was startled by his voice and looked around quickly. Seeing that there was no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Brother Cheng, keep your voice down.”

After coming back to his senses, Lu Cheng came closer and whispered, “Brother Houzi, can your business make so much money?”

“Well, our annual net income is usually about 40,000 yuan. But in the past few months, our net profit has increased a lot. Now we can earn at least 300,000 to 500,000 yuan every month after deducting all the costs,” Houzi nodded.

‘Thanks to your sister’s help,’ he added in his heart.

When Lu Cheng heard this, he was stunned. After thinking for a long time, he finally said, “Brother Houzi, if I take all the money, will my share be reduced?”

Shaking his head, Houzi said with a smile, “No, the share is fixed, and this money is your dividend for seven years.”

“Then if I increase my capital, can my share increase?” Lu Cheng asked again.

“I’m afraid you can’t do it. You have the largest share, and the remaining 40 percent has been divided among our brothers. So, we will not accept additional funds in exchange for the shares,” Houzi said regretfully.

Although Lu Cheng felt it was a pity that he couldn’t get more shares, he understood that at this moment, his share was greater than everyone else.

Being able to make money without doing anything is already a very happy thing. He shouldn’t be too greedy. After all, he didn’t expect to have so much money so suddenly.

After coming to this conclusion, he nodded and said, “Then I’m going to get the money.”

“Okay, I will give you the money tonight,” said Houzi.

After a brief conversation, the two continued to pick firewood and some wild fruits.

Meanwhile in the Lu family, Wang Muxiao was sitting on Chen Anwen’s Kang bed with a big belly.

Chen Anwen mended his son’s clothes and asked, “Second sister-in-law, you are about to give birth in about seventeen weeks. Have you made any preparations in advance?”

Hearing her question, Wang Muxiao nodded and said, “When I went for a checkup last time, the doctor said that because I was giving birth to twins, I might go into labor two or three weeks early. So, Ah Cheng had prepared everything a few days ago.”

“Are you going to be okay? I heard that giving birth to twins is dangerous,” Chen Anwen asked worriedly.

Wang Muxiao patted her hand gently and said comfortingly, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. Didn’t Sister-in-law Dongmei also give birth to a pair of healthy boys?”

“Besides, I’m still young and in good health. With Jueyu taking care of my diet, I will be fine,” she added.

After listening to her words, Chen Anwen was still a little worried. Although Zhang Dongmei gave birth to her sons successfully, her foundation was damaged. It took her a long time to recover after giving birth. She also heard that she later had difficulty getting pregnant and always suffered severe pain during her menstruation.

Wang Muxiao saw her uneasiness and said with a smile, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. Isn’t our family’s life getting better and better recently? This must be because we are blessed by our ancestors. I believe that everything will be fine by then.”

After a moment of silence, Chen Anwen let out a long sigh and said, “You are right. I shouldn’t have said these words to increase your worries.”

“Sister-in-law, don’t think like that. Since I got married, even though I had a bad personality at the time, you have been very kind to me. Thank you for worrying about me,” Wang Muxiao said with a smile.
