(Novel complete) She suddenly returned to a time before the apocalypse. Chu Tianhua spent her entire fortune collecting resources, ensuring she had everything for eating, wearing, and daily use, fi...
Chu Tian stared at Chu Wen and said coldly, "Good Third Brother, do you really think I'm talking nonsense? If so, then why are the chickens, eggs, and meat distributed after the autumn harvest only cooked when you come back? Why is the fine grain distributed every year only for your family of four? And we don't get to eat anything at all?"
"Why does my mother always send large and small bags of fruits grown at home to your family and send them to the regiment every year?"
"Why····"
After recounting the many unfair treatments, Chu Tian looked at him coldly, "Third brother! Do you need me to continue?"
"you····"
Seeing Chu Wen still wanting to argue, Chu Tian waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, stop talking about this nonsense... I'm already tired after a whole day's journey. Let's just make this a quick end, okay?"
Without waiting for any reaction, he continued, "Three thousand one hundred and eighty yuan. Four sons, plus mother, you can divide it into five parts. Each part is six hundred and thirty-six yuan."
"As for where you got these five gold bars, I don't know, but if we divide them fairly, each of us four brothers and you will get one. As for the remaining watch and various bills, well, there's no way to divide them evenly, so leave them to mother!"
After saying that, he glanced at Chu Wen and Chu Jun and said, "Two brothers, do you have any opinions?"
Chu Jun glanced at Liu Zhaodi and was too timid to speak. As for Chu Wen, when he heard that he could get more than 600 yuan, his eyes flashed for a moment and he only answered vaguely.
"Old Four, you can do whatever you want."
Chu Tian knew Chu Wen very well, so he shrugged indifferently and continued, "Usually, when a family splits up, the elderly either follow the eldest son or the youngest son. Mother, since you hate your son so much, you definitely won't be willing to follow me. After all, I have a strong fate and I'm unlucky. You're right to be afraid that I'll kill you..."
"So, which brother of mine are you?"
Liu Zhaodi knew that the family had to be divided, and she couldn't keep the money to continue subsidizing her third son. So she said without hesitation, "I'll follow the third son."
Chu Tian saw Chu Wen's eyes flashing from the corner of his eyes, and his lips curled up slightly, "Okay, then when Third Brother returns to the regiment, you can go and live with us."
"After all, you can't say you're living with your third brother, but leave it to our other three sons to take care of him, right?"
He paused, stroking his chin as if to think, and then added, "Of course, we three sons will not shirk our responsibilities. For example, when you are old and unable to move, we will not shirk the money, food, and care we should provide!"
As he spoke, Chu Tian had already quickly divided the money into five parts. He handed the money belonging to the eldest wife, Chu Jun, and the gold bar to him. "Brother, I suggest that you don't give the money to your sister-in-law. Of course, I am just suggesting it. I don't care how you deal with it."
Chu Jun took the money and gold bars and opened his mouth...
Chu Tian lowered his head and picked up the portion belonging to Chu Min, the second brother who had not yet returned with his wife and daughter, and said, "This is for my second brother. I'll hold it for him first. I'll give it to him when his family returns."
"Brother, you come to supervise."
Chu Jun nodded hesitantly, "Ah, I understand."
Chu Tian picked up Chu Wen's share of the third brother's, "As for the third brother's, this gold bar is for you. As for the one thousand you owe me, return these six hundred and thirty-six to me first. Don't forget to return the remaining three hundred and sixty-four to me quickly!"
Chu Wen looked at the gold bars in Chu Tian's hand, his face flushed red, and he roared, "Old Four!"
Chu Tian glanced at him calmly, "Don't shout, or I won't return this gold bar to you. Just consider it as extra compensation. Third brother, don't forget that you owe me a lot!!!"
Chu Wen took the gold bar without hesitation and put it in his arms, looking as if he was afraid that Chu Tian would snatch it away!
Chu Tian curled his lips, and finally picked up Liu Zhaodi's money, notes and the last gold bar, and looked at Liu Zhaodi, "Mom, I didn't want to settle accounts with you. After all, you gave birth to a son. Even if you have always been bad to him, you still raised him to adulthood..."
The tone suddenly changed, and there was a sense of alienation in his voice. "But, I feel that even if I don't settle the score with you, you won't remember my kindness. So, I plan to settle the score with you!"
Chu Tian counted on his fingers and listed them one by one. "When my three brothers got married, you didn't tell me what they gave them, but at least each of them had a new quilt and a new set of clothes. They also gave the bride's family more or less a portion of the betrothal gifts, and they also held a simple banquet! As for my third brother, when he got married, he not only gave his third sister-in-law's family a generous gift and new clothes, but also a quilt, and I think he also gave her a new bicycle and an extra 200 yuan?"
"And what about me? I'm your youngest son. Not to mention my third brother who got married two years before me, I'm not even as good as my second brother! When we got married, there was no betrothal gift, nothing at all. We didn't even have a wedding banquet. To put it bluntly, we married Xiujuan without spending a dime!"
"Not to mention how Xiujuan was treated when she gave birth compared to the other three sisters-in-law. I don't want to mention that. You all know it anyway."
"Anyway, I won't compete with my third brother anymore, I'll just compete with my other two brothers. Mom just needs to give me two hundred yuan."
Liu Zhaodi shouted angrily, "Chu Tian! Don't go too far!"
Chu Tian raised an eyebrow. "I went too far? Then you didn't go too far? How have you treated me for the past twenty years? How have you treated Xiujuan after I got married? How have you treated Wuya after she was born?"
"To put it bluntly, if I were to report these things to the Revolutionary Committee, I guarantee they would win!"
Liu Zhaodi snorted coldly, "How could the Revolutionary Committee possibly get involved in these family matters?"
Chu Tian shrugged indifferently, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Third Brother. I'm sure he knows more about these things than I do."
As he spoke, he looked at Chu Wen, who looked unhappy, and said, "Third brother, am I right?"
Chu Wen, "..."
Liu Zhaodi, “····”
After counting out two hundred yuan, Chu Tian put the remaining four hundred and thirty-six yuan into the box. He stood up and walked to Liu Zhaodi, handing the box to her, "The rest is my mother's."
Seeing that Liu Zhaodi didn't take it and instead glared at him fiercely, Chu Tian curled his lips indifferently and put it on the bench beside him.
"Today we're just dividing the money. Tomorrow morning, I'll have the captain come over and we'll sign a separation certificate and detail the details of the retirement plan to avoid any future entanglements."
After a pause, he continued, "By the way, Mom, you can think carefully about your requirements for retirement tonight. Of course, I won't agree to anything you say, but I won't agree to any unreasonable request, no matter what my brothers think."
Several people present, "..."
