Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Isn’t It Daya Who’s Paying?

Lu Youxi sat in her seat suspiciously, and Lv Jinfeng, sitting behind her, excitedly said, "Lu Youxi, you are so awesome!"

"What’s up?" Lu Youxi asked curiously, "I was about to ask, what’s with everyone today?"

"Hahaha, they listened to your advice this time and sold in time, making a profit. Although the stock went up and down in the following days, those who held on to it made less, and some even started to lose," Su Shanshan explained with a laugh.

Lu Youxi didn’t know that her classmates had sold, but Lu Youbang hadn’t.

Lu Youbang and Huang Mengyao had secretly found out which stocks Lu Youxi bought and had purchased them too.

But when Lu Youxi and the classmates sold theirs, these two didn’t.

They certainly knew that Lu Youxi had sold her stocks.

Huang Mengyao had even discussed this with Lu Youbang.

But Lu Youbang, seeing the recent trends were good, didn’t want to sell.

Watching the profits turn red every day, Lu Youbang was so happy that he couldn’t keep his mouth closed.

In fact, Huang Mengyao didn’t really want to sell either.

They thought that this time, it was Lu Youxi who was timid and misjudged the situation.

This stock was performing so well, and there were still profits to be made.

So after discussing it, they decided not to sell and to hold on for a couple more days.

After a couple more days, seeing that the trend was still good, they decided to hold on for another couple of days.

Their gambler’s mentality was growing by the day.

By the time the stock started to fall, it was already too late.

"What should we do now?" Lu Youxi was in class when Huang Mengyao, frantic, found Lu Youbang, "It has reached the cost line now, and I reckon we are going to lose after the market closes today!"

"Why the panic? It might go up tomorrow," Lu Youbang was anxious inside but still comforted himself, "Hasn’t it been like this the last few days? Up one day, down the next. Stocks fluctuate, it’s normal."

"But we could have made a big profit! And now we can only hope to break even? What’s the point?" Thinking it over, Huang Mengyao said, "It’s not okay, let’s sell today. A small loss is still a loss, consider it paying for a lesson."

"How can we do that?" Lu Youbang was unwilling, "I’ll wait until tomorrow if it rises then I will sell."

The thought of a small loss pained him to death.

"It just needs to rise a bit, even 0.1% is fine," Lu Youbang said.

Huang Mengyao pursed her lips, hesitating for a moment, she was actually a bit unwilling too.

"Tomorrow, no matter whether it goes up or down, we sell. If it drops, we can’t just let it keep losing," Huang Mengyao said, "Let’s take back whatever money we can while we still can, it’s better than losing everything."

To ensure Lu Youbang would agree, Huang Mengyao said, "I’ve heard that there was a boy in Lu Youxi’s class who bought stocks, and because he didn’t sell in time, the stock hit the limit down, and when he sold, no one would buy it. Even though he eventually sold it, he almost lost all his money. Luckily, he was only playing with a portion of his spending money, so he didn’t lose too much."

Upon hearing this, Lu Youbang became nervous. He didn’t have much money to begin with, and if he continued to lose like this, even if he asked for money from home, his family might not be able to give it to him.

"Okay," Lu Youbang agreed, "Tomorrow, regardless of rise or fall, we’ll sell it all."

Huang Mengyao nodded her head and made the same decision.

As a result, the next day it continued to fall, and they didn’t dare to wait any longer and sold at a loss.

Watching as the money in hand was less than before, Huang Mengyao was still in good spirits, but Lu Youbang was crushed.

For someone already tight on budget, losing even a penny was unacceptable.

Meanwhile, at the Lu Family’s end in Hexing Village.

Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu packed away many of their belongings that wouldn’t be needed right away to take to the Imperial Capital.

"What does the apartment Sister rented look like?" Lu Youxue was very curious, fantasizing about the house in the Imperial Capital the last few days.

He guessed that it wouldn’t be big but that it would be clean.

Lu Youxue didn’t dare think that Lu Youxi could afford a large apartment.

The fact that she had rented a place so quickly for them to stay in was already a huge surprise.

Not just Lu Youxue, even Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu were thinking the same.

The expectations of the two of them were even lower.

Liu Yushu had secretly mentioned to Lu Zhenguo the night before, "It could be a very rundown place, or even a basement. I heard from Old Ge’s family that rentals in the Imperial Capital are extremely expensive. So, many people who go there to work rent basements to save on rent."

"Uh-huh," Lu Zhenguo nodded, "Youxi has done well enough just finding a place. Don’t forget to remind Youxue, if the house in the Imperial Capital is small and shabby, he must not be picky. As long as our family has a roof to keep out the rain and a place to stay, it’s all good."

So when Lu Youxue asked about it, Liu Yushu said, "No matter what it’s like, it’s a place your sister rented for us to live in. To be able to settle down in the Imperial Capital is already quite difficult."

"Yes!" Lu Youxue nodded emphatically, "As long as I can see Sister, I can live in any kind of house."

Liu Yushu smiled and saw Lu Zhenguo going to the door, so she whispered to Lu Youxue, "Don’t ever mention to your grandparents and aunt that your sister has rented a house for us in the Imperial Capital."

"Don’t worry, Mom, I won’t say anything," Lu Youxue immediately assured her, "If I do, they’ll definitely think Sister has money and will ask her for money. Plus, they’ll want to grab the place for themselves."

Liu Yushu didn’t expect that despite Lu Youxue hardly ever speaking up, he was actually quite clear-headed about such matters.

At that moment, Ge Guifen’s voice came from outside the open courtyard gate, "Big Brother, are you waiting for us at the door?"

Liu Yushu quickly took Lu Youxue to the entrance, seeing that Ge Guifen and Lu Youzhen were also carrying a bag each.

Liu Yushu thought indeed they were both going with them but feigned ignorance and asked, "Guifen, are you and Youzhen here to see off our parents?"

Ge Guifen’s eyes spun around, and she said with a chuckle, "We are going with Mom and Dad."

Lu Zhenguo frowned instinctively. Lu Youxi had said, even including the travel expenses, she would only cover the cost for the Lu Family’s elders.

Lu Zhenguo felt this was fair.

It was already not easy for Lu Youxi to provide for the family. Covering the expenses for the elders was her filial duty.

But it didn’t make sense for Lu Youxi to pay for Ge Guifen and Lu Youzhen too.

Just as Lu Zhenguo was about to speak up, he heard Liu Yushu say, "Mom and Dad treat you really well, even paying for you to go to the Imperial Capital."

Lu Zhenguo closed his mouth.

Since the family split, Liu Yushu’s temper and sharp tongue had become quite formidable.

"Who said we paid for it?" Old Madam Lu immediately objected upon hearing she was expected to pay.

She certainly couldn’t play dumb now. If she stayed quiet, Liu Yushu might assume she was agreeing, and she would end up bearing the loss without a word.

"Isn’t it the eldest daughter who is paying?" Old Madam Lu said.

At this point, Lu Zhenguo spoke up, "Mom, Youxi said she would only cover the trip expenses for you and Dad, not for Ge Guifen and Lu Youzhen."
