Chapter 549 We Are Family
"But, big sister, this is too much, it’s not appropriate. You and brother-in-law have been working so hard at the shop, and here I am, reaping the benefits without doing anything. How could you let me think this way? Moreover, we had an agreement! This money was a loan I gave you, not an investment. Besides, you’ve already paid me back. Continuing like this is not suitable," Bai Xiao clearly understood the meaning behind her sister’s money, but it was indeed too much.
It had become a burden.
Bai Yue glared at her, "This was something your brother-in-law and I agreed upon. Forget about borrowing; when we started, we had nothing, no money, no skills, and it was all thanks to your guidance that we were able to get the business going. We agreed that you would own half of the shop’s earnings. You are the biggest investor in our Bai Family’s spicy hot pot restaurant. We never said anything about your job, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Isn’t that right, Shitou?"
Wang Yan nodded, "Niece, don’t decline. Your sister and I have discussed this long ago. One must not be ungrateful, and even close brothers should settle accounts clearly, let alone between sisters who have such a good relationship. Besides, now that you are working in Yun Province, it’s not just about you anymore; it’s about a family. You will have many expenses. We are not discontent with An Zhiyuan’s contribution to supporting you, Bai Xiao.
But after all, the two of you are not ordinary people, and the allowance has its limits. Going to a new place where you don’t know anyone, we just hope that Bai Xiao will have some money to make life a bit more comfortable. There’s no other meaning. It’s also the support from your hometown that gives her confidence."
An Zhiyuan raised his glass and clinked it with Wang Yan’s, downing it in one gulp.
