Ten Thousand to Make Him Stop Picking Up Trash

Su Zhenxing had no mind to lecture Su Chen now.

After all, if what Su Chen said was true, and he had no clothes or money—

Then it was only natural that Su Chen had been driven to find his own way to make money.

Even if the method was embarrassing!

But the root of the problem lay with Liu Yanran.

How could Liu Yanran not give Su Chen any allowance?!

The other three children in the family all had allowances!

Su Zhenxing glared at Liu Yanran, waiting for an explanation.

"Liu Yanran, say something!"

"Exactly how much allowance do you give Su Chen every month?!"

After a long while, seeing that she could no longer avoid the matter, Liu Yanran could only helplessly speak up in her own defense.

"Su Chen is a student. The Su Family covers his food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Why would he need an allowance?!"

Hearing that, Su Zhenxing pointed at Liu Yanran, his face full of disbelief, then shouted angrily.

"So you really never gave Su Chen any allowance?!"

Liu Yanran said nothing, but her expression made everything clear.

She had never given Su Chen an allowance.

Su Zhenxing pointed at Liu Yanran and was momentarily left speechless.

Still, Liu Yanran's issue could be dealt with privately when they were alone.

What mattered most now was making sure Su Chen stopped picking up trash and stopped bringing shame upon the Su Family.

Su Zhenxing no longer dwelled on Liu Yanran's problem.

He cleared his throat, coughed twice, and looked at Su Chen again.

"Su Chen, how about this? Didn't you start picking up trash because you had no money to spend?"

"Starting today, I'll have your mom give you an allowance every month."

"Su Chen, stop picking up trash, all right?"

Stop picking up trash?!

That would not do!

Su Chen waved a hand at Su Zhenxing, his face full of indifference toward his words.

"No, no, there's no need to give me an allowance."

"I'm not short of money anymore."

"I, Su Chen, have found a way to make money."

"Just the treasures I picked up today sold for more than seven thousand yuan."

"Calculated over thirty days a month, I can make at least two hundred thousand yuan."

"So there's no need to trouble yourselves with giving me an allowance. I, Su Chen, can support myself now."

Su Zhenxing's brow twitched as he listened. Looking at Su Chen's unconcerned expression, he knew Su Chen truly intended to make money by picking up trash from now on.

Yes, Su Zhenxing admitted that picking up trash could make money, especially trash from wealthy neighborhoods.

But every cent Su Chen earned was earned by trampling on the Su Family's reputation!

He could not let Su Chen keep disgracing the Su Family.

Otherwise, the Su Family would truly become a joke, and they would no longer be able to hold their heads up in Hai City.

Su Zhenxing hardened his heart.

"Su Chen, how about this? Didn't you say you could make two hundred thousand a month picking up trash?"

"I'll make the decision. I'll give you two hundred thousand yuan in allowance every month."

"Just stop picking up trash to make money. How about it?"

Before Su Chen could speak, Liu Yanran objected.

"Su Chen is only a high school student. Why would he need two hundred thousand yuan in allowance every month?"

"In my opinion, ten thousand yuan a month is more than enough for Su Chen's expenses."

Su Qiqi objected as well.

"Dad, why should Su Chen get two hundred thousand yuan in allowance?"

"Eldest Sister and I only get one hundred thousand yuan a month."

"Younger Brother Su Mu gets even less, only fifty thousand yuan a month."

"If Su Chen gets two hundred thousand yuan every month, wouldn't that be more than Eldest Sister and I receive?!"

"Dad, that's unfair!"

Although Su Mu said nothing, his face was full of jealousy.

Seeing this, Su Chen hurriedly said.

"Yes, yes, that's so unfair!"

"Just let me support myself!"

"You really don't need to give me an allowance."

Su Zhenxing shot Liu Yanran and Su Qiqi a glare and reprimanded them.

"Don't talk to me about fairness."

"Su Qiqi, can you make two hundred thousand yuan a month right now? If you can make two hundred thousand yuan, I'll give you two hundred thousand yuan in allowance every month too."

"Su Qiqi, can you?"

Su Qiqi fell silent.

Let alone two hundred thousand, she could not even earn fifty thousand.

Su Qiqi pouted to show her dissatisfaction.

Su Zhenxing then said to Liu Yanran.

"The children of the Su Family, the richest family in Hai City, deserve more than just two hundred thousand. Even a monthly allowance of one million would be fitting."

"If you think it's too much, I'll personally give Su Chen this allowance myself."

Only then did Liu Yanran stop speaking. Since she did not have to pay the allowance herself, she did not care how much Su Zhenxing gave him.

Seeing that Liu Yanran and Su Qiqi had fallen silent, Su Zhenxing glanced at the quiet Su Mu before speaking to Su Chen.

"Su Chen, what do you say?!"

"You'll take two hundred thousand yuan a month in allowance from me, in exchange for not picking up trash anymore. How about it?"

Su Chen was helpless.

Su Zhenxing insisted on giving him money, so there was nothing he could do!

The man was simply offering too much.

Receiving two hundred thousand yuan while lazing around at home was far better than working hard to earn two hundred thousand yuan by picking up trash.

As for whether Liu Yanran was willing or happy about it, that was completely outside Su Chen's considerations.

Faced with Su Zhenxing eagerly pressing money on him, Su Chen could only helplessly agree.

"All right."

"Personally, I'm very willing to support myself."

"But since you want so badly to give me money, I'm afraid refusing it would hurt your feelings."

"To keep you from being sad, I can only agree."

The muscles on Su Zhenxing's face twitched as he listened.

Su Chen was taking advantage and still acting like he was the victim!

Damn it, when had Su Chen learned to be so punchable?!

Forget it, forget it. As long as Su Chen stopped going out to pick up trash and disgrace them, he could say whatever he wanted!

Su Zhenxing stopped wasting words and directly took out a card, placing it in Su Chen's hand.

"This bank card has two hundred thousand yuan in it."

"From now on, I'll deposit two hundred thousand yuan into this card on time every month."

"As long as you stop going out to pick up trash, this two hundred thousand yuan won't stop."

As he spoke, Su Zhenxing narrowed his eyes and gave Su Chen a hard look.

"But if you go out and pick up trash again—"

"I'll cut off this two hundred thousand yuan allowance."

"Su Chen, do you understand?"

Su Chen swiftly snatched the card from Su Zhenxing's hand and said impatiently.

"If you keep nagging, I'll go back to picking up trash to make money!"

"I can support myself and make money!"

"And I won't even make less than your allowance."

"To put it bluntly, you're the one chasing after me to give me an allowance. I only agreed to take it because I was afraid you'd be sad."

"Don't take advantage and still act like you're the victim."

Su Zhenxing looked utterly helpless.

But when he saw Su Chen holding the card, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Su Family would finally no longer be humiliated!

He would finally no longer be mocked by Chen Guang!

Su Zhenxing said nothing more, afraid that Su Chen would truly change his mind, refuse his allowance, and insist on going out to pick up trash again.

Su Zhenxing could not help but feel a toothache.

Why did it really seem like Su Chen was right—that Su Chen had only accepted this allowance because he was afraid Su Zhenxing would be sad?!

Was he supposed to be grateful that Su Chen did not want him to be sad?!

Su Zhenxing suddenly found the whole thing absurd.
