Wang Shumei was startled by her sudden seriousness, and nodded in acknowledgment: "Yes, such a big deal, I would never catch onto it without you."
Lin Nianhe looked at her for a while, then silently returned to the inner room and opened the kang cabinet with her back to Wang Shumei.
In a little while, she came out with a handful of change.
"How much should it be?" Lin Nianhe asked.
Wang Shumei saw her seriousness and refused: "Nianhe, really, there's no need, I..."
"Sister Shumei, even real brothers settle accounts clearly," Lin Nianhe said earnestly, "Since it's a partnership, don't mix personal feelings into it, I set the price, I won't lose out, you can't be like this."
The straightforwardness of Northeastern people ran deep in Wang Shumei's bones, she felt that she was making so much money because of Lin Nianhe, giving a bit more to round out the amount felt better face-wise, and she wouldn't feel too guilty in her heart.
