Chapter 119 - Earning Money to Support the Family

The three Lu brothers present were speechless.

The horse trainer thought he’d misheard. “Huh?”

Andre also stared at Lu Xiaocha intently, as if it was looking at a heartless scumbag who had abandoned his wife and son.

Lu Xiaocha touched her nose guiltily. “It’s… too expensive.”

The last few words were spoken a little softly, but it was enough for the trainer to hear.

His eyelids twitched as he looked at the large villa in front of him. “This is the Lu family, right?”

Lu Xiaocha said, “Yes.”

Lu Beichen facepalmed. “Sis, don’t worry about this. We can afford to keep Andre.”

Lu Xiaocha glanced at Andre and muttered, “Waste food.”

He ate more than she did.

Andre snorted in annoyance.

In the end, the horse trainer practically left Andre behind and fled. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Good lord, he had almost been returned.

After Andre was tamed, even if he continued to stay at the racecourse, the Lu family would definitely have to fork out such a huge sum of money.

Because this guy only recognized Lu Xiaocha, their racecourse would suffer too much of a loss.

Lu Xiaocha stood beside Andre and counted with her fingers. Her delicate snow-white face was wrinkled.

Why did she train the horse yesterday? She had found herself such a burden.

Sigh ~

“I didn’t make enough money yesterday for it.”

She sighed again as she spoke.

“What to do, Andre? Why are you more expensive than me?”

How much food would she have wasted? She would have suffered a huge loss no matter how she looked at it.

Andre stuck out its hooves and kicked her.

Lu Beichen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he patted his silly sister’s head. “Dad can help you settle this money.”

Lu Xiaocha pouted. “I can’t let Daddy help me with everything.”

She wanted to support herself, but she had nothing other than strength.

Should she accept a mission from the heretic bureau? The reward seemed quite generous.

Suddenly, Lu Beilin walked over and pinched her face. “What’s your surname?”

“Lu.”

Lu Beilin opened his fingers and a large, juicy apple appeared in his hand.

“That’s it. Remember, we earn so much money to spend. If we don’t spend it on our own family, should we spend it on others? Think about it. Are you losing out?”

Lu Xiaocha hugged the apple and felt that it was a huge loss.

Just like she’d spent her money on Andre.

She looked at Andre with that slight fierceness, then crunched the apple in her hand.

Andre, who had wanted to go up and scrounge an apple, was speechless.

It feels like its master wants to eat me more.

She got a call from the heretic bureau over lunch.

“Hello, are you Yin Shian’s supervisor?”

Lu Xiaocha’s eyelids twitched. She suddenly had a bad feeling.

“Can I say no?”

There seemed to be a moment of silence on the other end, and then a sweet voice said, “You can’t, dear.”

Lu Xiaocha was speechless.

“Go on. What is it?”

The other party quickly explained everything that had happened.

“Yin Shian and Tang Huan of the heretic bureau destroyed two buildings of the heretic bureau because of a fight. Several innocent people were injured. The total expenditure is 1.2 million yuan. May I ask…”

Lu Xiaocha interrupted, “Let him pay for it himself!”

The person on the other end was silent for another two seconds. “Sorry, Yin Shian hasn’t accepted any missions yet. His salary has already been used to cover the medical fees. At the moment… he doesn’t have money.”

Lu Xiaocha took a deep breath. “Does your heretic bureau buy zombies?”

She wanted to sell.

Beep, beep, beep…

The caller quickly hung up.

Lu Xiaocha felt her heart, liver, spleen, and lungs hurt.

After earning a few million yesterday, she felt that she had earned a lot of money to buy enough rice for her to eat for the rest of her life.

But before she could use her money, it was gone in an instant!

Lu Xiaocha had been self-reliant since she was young. Although she carried a huge sum of money from her parents and brothers, she rarely used it.

Because she only felt at ease when she used what she had earned. What she had obtained too easily made her feel very guilty. She felt that everything she had now was just a beautiful dream.

“Sigh ~”

Lu Xiaocha rested her chin on her hand and sighed. Her wallet was still bulging yesterday. It was worth millions. In this world, she did not have to worry about food and clothes.

But in the blink of an eye, not only was it gone, but she was also in debt.

“You look miserable at such a young age.”

A slightly cold finger brushed between her eyebrows. Lu Beilin pinched her nose angrily.

“What about the money I gave you?”

Lu Xiaocha said eagerly, “It’s… it’s in the card.”

“Then why not use it? Are you looking down on your third brother, eh?”

The little girl shook her head quickly and said in a weak voice, “It’s just that there’s too much money. It feels unreal.”

The Lu brothers fell silent when they heard her words. Their hearts ached when they saw their sister’s expression.

“What’s so unreal about it?”

Lu Beifeng came over and rubbed her furry head.

“Didn’t you give us all those precious gifts, too?”

Lu Xiaocha pouted. “My brothers gave some to me too. I kept it all.”

Lu Beifeng said, “Then why can’t you accept the money? You know very well that we are very hurt if you do this.”

Lu Xiaocha poked her finger. “Not really. I also used the money.”

“How much can you use just to buy some food?”

She had never used much of the pocket money her family had given her. Her biggest expenditure was buying food.

At the thought of this, Lu Beichen looked at her as if he expected better from her. “You didn’t even buy yourself clothes.”

“…Maybe I can’t finish wearing all those clothes?”

The various clothes in her cloakroom were already stuffed full!

Lu Beichen was speechless.

He couldn’t refute it. When Lu Xiaocha first came back, her parents bought clothes for her. Later, Lu Beilin also bought a lot.

“Then you have to buy some skincare products. Which girl doesn’t use skincare products nowadays?”

Lu Xiaocha touched her face and said, “I don’t think that’s necessary.”

Everyone’s eyes dropped to her face. It was soft and flawless and so white it reflected the light.

They shut up.

The Lu family’s genes were really good.

“Wouldn’t that be useful now?”

Lu Xiaocha responded perfunctorily, but in fact, she was still thinking about how to earn money to support her family.

She was about to leave for the food base when she received a call from the director, Therode.

Therode once again sincerely invited her to act as Yun Huan. Furthermore, he rambled on and on about the creation of that role. It was simply based on Lu Xiaocha herself.

This time, she did not refuse so firmly because she found that she had to support her family.

Neither Andre nor Yin Shian could be sold. How tragic!

“I’ll think about it.”

Therode was filled with excitement when he got the news. “Then I’ll wait to hear from you!”
