After Zhao Xingjia did the math, he felt it was a bit too much. A normal family's food expenses were only about 40 or 50 yuan a month.
Ma Xiulan used to be very frugal, spending about 30 yuan a month on food.
But how can you embezzle money if you don't buy meat or vegetables? There is not much difference between eight ounces of meat and one pound of meat. You can embezzle 0.16 cents at once. You can't embezzle much money by falsely reporting the weight of other radishes and cabbages.
"It might be my wife and the fourth brother's family. They just started cooking and haven't got the hang of it yet. I'll talk to my wife later."
Zhao Youcai saw that Zhao Xingjia had no intention of repenting and said sternly:
"Do you think Chen Zhenzhen and Zhang Zhaodi embezzled my money? No, it was your money.
I still have three thousand yuan here, and I have been thinking about whether to give it to you or the fourth brother. After all, the fourth brother promised to give all his salary to me for household expenses starting from next month, so I let the fourth brother and his wife live in the room, and I also plan to keep the 3,000 yuan for the fourth brother.
Zhao Xingjia then understood why the fourth child followed his father.
It turned out that my dad still had 3,000 yuan in his hand.
The fourth child was insidious and cunning. He even paid his father's salary in private in order to get his father's future 3,000 yuan and his current favor.
He said anxiously, "Dad, I'm your son too."
Zhao Youcai sighed: "So, I've thought a lot these past two days. Giving all the money to the fourth brother is unfair to you, but the fourth brother gave me all his salary for household expenses. It would be unreasonable for me not to give it to the fourth brother."
Zhao Xingjia hurriedly said: "Dad, I also have a salary, I will pay it to you."
Zhao Youcai tried hard to suppress his smile: "You don't have to pay it all. You can keep 3 yuan every month as pocket money. You and Lao Si will split the 3,000 yuan in the future. If you treat me better than Lao Si, I will give it all to you. But don't tell Lao Si."
Zhao Xingjia looked as if he understood. In the past, when his mother gave him special treatment, she didn't let him tell his other brothers and sisters.
