Chapter 115 Jiang Da is tough and cruel to the best
"What account?"
Yang Jinqiu: "Of course it's Mom's birthday this time, and you three brothers need to share the expenses."
Jiang Da's eyes were filled with question marks.
Han Yunru couldn't help but frown.
Jiang Fuyue laughed out loud.
No wonder they were called back suddenly after not seeing each other for over ten years. They must be waiting here.
Yang Jinqiu took out his phone and clicked on the calculator. "The cost of renting the hall and setting up the tables, plus some miscellaneous expenses, totaled 86,218. Split evenly between the three families, that's 28,739 each. Here's the detailed account."
After saying that, he handed it to Jiang Da, obviously he had prepared it.
Jiang Da didn't answer.
"Brother, what do you mean? Don't you want to pay for Mom's birthday?" Yang Jinqiu asked.
Liu Shuting raised her eyes and smiled softly but with a hint of sarcasm: "How could that be? Didn't Big Brother just say that he would call home every holiday? He's so filial to Mom, how could he do such a thing? Right, Big Brother?"
Jiang Da didn't respond, and didn't even look at her. He looked directly at Jiang Hua and Jiang Teng and asked slowly -
"Second brother, third brother, is this what you meant?"
Jiang Hua's eyes flashed.
Jiang Teng said bluntly: "That's right. Anyway, I've already paid my share, and now it's just your family left."
Something flashed in Jiang Da's eyes.
Jiang Fuyue happened to see it, and she knew that it was disappointment.
This tall, dark man was always taciturn, but he had the immense courage to stand up and protect his family at critical moments. However, at this moment, he was badly hurt by his family.
"Dad..." Jiang Fuyue gently held his trembling hand.
Jiang Da smiled at her and shook his head: Dad is fine.
The next second, when he looked at his two brothers again, the softness in his eyes was gone, but covered with a thick layer of armor.
"I agree to pay the money..." he said.
Jiang Hua was slightly surprised.
Jiang Teng was stunned.
It seems that both of them are aware of how unreasonable this request is.
But when I think about Jiang Da's character, he is honest, dull, simple and old-fashioned. To put it bluntly, he is easy to bully, so it doesn't seem strange anymore.
Anyway, he volunteered...
But the next second, Jiang Da continued:
"We split the birthday money equally, so shouldn't the gift money be divided the same way?"
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
Including Han Yunru and Jiang Fuyue.
It's no wonder they reacted so strongly. Jiang Da's image of being honest and upright was so deeply rooted in people's minds that when he suddenly became smart, everyone was caught off guard.
Yang Jinqiu: "...Brother, what do you mean by that?"
Jiang Da: "If the expenses are shared equally, then the income should naturally be shared equally as well."
"How can this be?" Liu Shuting immediately jumped out to object. "Most of the guests here today were invited by our two families, and they are gifts of gratitude to us. Why are you dividing them?"
"My sister-in-law also said that most of the people who came were invited by your two families. What does that have to do with us? If it has nothing to do with us, then why should I bear the expenses they incurred?"
Liu Shuting choked.
"...Anyway, it can't be calculated like this!"
Jiang Da nodded: "I agree, it really can't be calculated that way."
As he spoke, his gaze passed over his two sisters-in-law and fell on Jiang Hua and Jiang Teng: "What do you think? Don't hide behind women. If you have anything to say or what you think, just say it directly."
Jiang Hua's mouth corners tightened and he said nothing.
Jiang Teng's eyes rolled. "Brother, I think this is unfair, right?"
Jiang Da asked, "Then what do you think is fair?"
Of course the expenses are shared equally, and the gift money belongs to whoever invited the guest!
Jiang Teng thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it. He gritted his teeth and simply pulled Jiang Hua out -
"I don't have any ideas, ask my second brother!"
Jiang Hua: “?” The pot fell from the sky.
Jiang Da looked at him inquiringly.
"...Brother, what do you think we should do?"
The ball was kicked back.
Yang Jinqiu grabbed her husband's sleeve in dissatisfaction, and questioned with her eyes: How could you give up the initiative?!
Jiang Hua ignored him and only looked at Jiang Da.
The latter did not respond hastily, but calmly asked: "Can you do what I think is right?"
Now, Jiang Hua's eyes changed immediately when he looked at him.
It's like seeing a lame man suddenly walk fast, or a mute suddenly speak like a bell.
"Second brother, answer."
"Brother, I... I definitely understand you and want to be as fair as possible, but I can't decide on this matter alone. I have to see what the third brother thinks."
When Jiang Teng heard this, he immediately quit.
"Second brother, what do you mean by that? You're the good guy, and I'm the bad guy, right?"
Jiang Hua frowned: "What are you doing? Talk nicely."
"Isn't this what I call talking nicely?" Jiang Teng sneered, "Alright, then I'll make it clear. If Second Brother doesn't accept Big Brother's money today, then I won't accept it either! Since we want to be good people, let's all be good people together. Don't blame others for all the bad things and keep the good reputation for yourself."
Jiang Hua's face suddenly turned blue and white.
Jiang Teng seemed to have won the game back. He exchanged a victorious look with his wife and felt very proud of himself.
He couldn't stand the hypocrisy of the second brother even more than that of his eldest brother's family.
You say one thing to someone's face and another behind his back. Do you think he's blind and can't see?
In the end, Jiang Da left with his wife and children without paying a penny.
Jiang Hua and Jiang Teng were left staring at each other.
Jiang Hua: "Idiot! You got fooled by just one sentence."
Jiang Teng: "I do, haha!"
Yang Jinqiu and Liu Shuting looked at each other, and both showed each other the greatest hostility and contempt.
Now the two families can only share the cost.
Liu Shuting: "Suddenly I feel that this is not appropriate."
Yang Jinqiu: “?”
Liu Shuting: "I roughly calculated. My eldest brother didn't have any guests. Jiang Teng and I only had five tables with our guests, but my second brother and his wife's guests took up a full twelve. If the cost is calculated per person, then it shouldn't be shared equally."
"you!"
"Isn't it? You have a lot of guests, so naturally the expenses are high. Shouldn't you pay the biggest share of the expenses?"
"Liu Shuting, you're quite calculating, aren't you?"
"This is called settling accounts clearly between brothers. It doesn't make sense for the eldest brother not to suffer a loss, but let us suffer such a huge loss? The second brother is very good at making money. What's thirty or fifty thousand? Besides, your family receives the most gifts, so maybe there's still a profit after deducting the costs!"
Jiang Teng immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, you should pay the most, that's fair!"
Jiang Hua's face looked extremely ugly.
Yang Jinqiu was so angry that his eyes almost rolled back.
If she had known earlier... she would not have suggested calling the eldest brother's family back. Now she ended up losing more than she gained!
My heart is bleeding!
…
But as soon as Jiang Da got home, he changed his clothes and went to open the shop immediately.
Han Yunru prepared dinner for the siblings and said, "The dishes are on the stove. You can eat by yourselves. I'll go check the store."
"Mom." Jiang Fuyue suddenly called her over.
"Um?"
"Why have I never met my grandparents?"
Han Yunru was stunned.
I'll finish all five chapters today, so I won't be there this afternoon. See you tomorrow morning~
Seeing that Yu has been working so hard to update for 10,000 consecutive times, sisters, please leave your monthly tickets (shy)
