Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Cut The Useless Expenses

If he needed to let go of each concubine, he would not be able to feel the same happiness anymore. He needed to defend his happiness. He thought of something. He did not know why his father and brother did not think about this method.

"Why are you so fast to cut the budget? We still have a way to prevent that happen." Ning Donghai felt like he was a genius for thinking about this matter.

"What is it?" Ning Chen asked.

"Why don’t we welcome back Fourth Brother into our family and let him continue putting 400,000 taels into our Family’s finances? All of our problems will be solved." Ning Donghai suggested.

Ning Donghai was happy when he stated the method without realising the change in his father and brother’s expression. Ning Yongrui and Ning Chen looked at Ning Donghai like he was an idiot. They thought Ning Donghai would have a good idea. Turned out, it was a bad idea.

"Father, brother, we should do it now." Ning Donghai was still full of himself.

"Donghai, are you stupid?" Ning Yongrui asked this second son of his.

He did not know why Ning Donghai turned out like this.

Ning Donghai was confused when he heard the question coming out of his father’s mouth. "What?"

"Second Brother, do you think Fourth Brother would be happy and come back when he was told that he need to return back and pay the money to the family?" Ning Chen stated.

However, Ning Yongrui and Ning Chen did not realise that Ning Donghai was a completed stupid.

"He should be happy to be welcomed back to the family and contribute to the family." Ning Donghai asked.

Ning Yongrui and Ning Chen were completely speechless right now. They did not know why Ning Donghai could be someone like this. Totally stupid. Ning Yongrui did not know when he went wrong in raising Ning Donghai to be such an idiot like this.

Ning Yongrui and Ning Chen did not want to ask about Ning Donghai’s opinion anymore.

"Let’s proceed with the previous solution. Song Ci, cut off the useless expenses. Second, fire any unnecessary servants and the servants who had done wrong. Also, no need to keep the lazy servants." Ning Yongrui gave the order to the butler.

"Yes, Patriarch. I will do it." The butler nodded.

Ning Yongrui then turned to Ning Donghai. "And you... dismiss all of your concubines. You can need to keep three of them at most."

Ning Donghai was shocked by his father’s sudden decision.

"What? Father, you can not do this to me. I love them all." Ning Donghai wanted to protest.

"If you want to keep them all, then, fine." Ning Yongrui narrowed his eyes.

"Really, Father? I know it. You don’t want me to be unhappy." Ning Donghai smiled.

"However, you need to cough out the money for them by yourselves. Don’t expect the financial help from me or the family." Ning Yongrui gave the final blow to Ning Donghai.

"What?" Ning Donghai was shocked.

Cough out the money by himself? How could he do it? He did not have any source of income except the money from his family each month. There was no way that he could afford it.

"Father..." Ning Donghai still wanted to beg his father.

"My decision is final. If you want to talk more, you are allowed to get to leave my family." Ning Yongrui put an end to this matter.

Ning Donghai did not want to leave this family. He did not have anywhere. He was not like Ning Zhaofeng who had a source of income.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Ning Yongrui asked while looking at Ning Chen and Ning Donghai.

"No." Ning Chen answered firmly.

"Well... No..." Ning Donghai reluctantly answered that.

"If that is so, then, leave. I want to get some rest." Ning Yongrui said while waving his right hand.

Ning Chen and Ning Donghai got out of Ning Yongrui’s study room.

"Brother, does father really mean by what he says?" Ning Donghai asked Ning Chen.

"Of course. You should go back to your courtyard and choose which concubines you want to stay." Ning Chen stated.

"Brother, why don’t we get Fourth Brother back?" Ning Donghai still does not give up the idea.

"Do you think father don’t want that?" Ning Chen asked back.

"Then..." Ning Donghai had hope.

"If Father wants it, do you think Fourth Brother want to come back?" Ning Chen asked.

Without waiting for any answer from Ning Donghai, Ning Chen left leaving Ning Donghai who still stood up there.

Ning Donghai remembered that he taunted Ning Zhaofeng for cutting the tie with the Ning Family. He even said to Ning Zhaofeng that Ning Zhaofeng would not survive long with the Ning Family. Turned out, the Ning Family was the one who could not survive without Ning Zhaofeng.

Ning Donghai was flustered. He still needed to choose which concubines he needed to let go. He could not though. He wanted to keep them all. He sighed again as he walked back to his courtyard.

Ning Chen arrived at his courtyard. He then saw his son, Ning Jianguo there.

"Why are you here?" Ning Chen asked his son.

"Father, I heard something outside today." Ning Jianguo stated.

"Are you talking about your Fourth Uncle owned Baiyu Restaurant?" Ning Chen guessed.

"You already know about that?" Ning Jianguo was surprised.

"Yes." Ning Chen nodded.
