The three men looked at Zhang Jiao and Liu Qin with considerable interest; it was rare for the two sisters-in-law to agree with each other.
In fact, they don't really agree.
Zhang Jiao said no, not because she couldn’t split the family business, but because Lin Yongnian said he couldn’t help Lin Jianshe pay back the debt.
But Liu Qin said that dividing the family was not an option.
After the family split up, Lin Yongnian would definitely not live with them. Of course, she didn't want to serve this old father-in-law, so she would no longer receive the monthly food subsidy and living allowance.
Of course that's not possible.
Zhang Jiao: "Dad, didn't we agree before? Let Lin Jianshe pay back the money himself, and now you say you've helped him pay it back, what's going on?"
He had already received three months' salary in advance. If he were to take on this debt of more than a thousand yuan, and if he separated from his family and lived with her, he would have to rely on them for support for at least the next year or so.
Lin Guodong also frowned and said: "If you keep cleaning up his old man's mess like this, when will he grow up and become a responsible man?"
Lin Jianshe sneered, "You, Lin Guodong, are responsible? You have been married for so many years, and your wife and children have all been raised by your parents. What have you done?"
"You..." Lin Guodong was speechless for a moment.
Zhang Jiao: "At least your elder brother didn't cause trouble for the family like you did, causing Dad to lose face and borrow money from everywhere to get you out of the police station."
Lin Yongnian pointed at Lin Jianshe and said, "Don't I want him to take the responsibility? Look at his dead look, will he pay back the money? I, Lin Yongnian, borrowed the money. If I don't pay it back, how can I have the face to work in the factory in the future?"
Zhang Jiao & Lam Kwok Tung: "..."
"Lin Jianshe, I helped you get married, paid for your job, and now I'm in so much debt to save you. I've done my best as a father. Unlike your mother, you're about to go to jail, and I went to her to borrow money, but she refused to lend me a penny."
Lin Jianshe: Did he ever go to his mother to borrow money?
His mother's dumpling shop was so good, but knowing that he was going to jail, they were unwilling to lend him a penny. It was really cruel.
Even if the neighbor is in trouble, she should help him, not to mention that he is her dearest.
"We will separate from tomorrow. From now on, you can live with Liu Qin however you want. I won't care about you anymore. I can't control you." Lin Yongnian said, waving his hands. His weak appearance made him look several years older.
Lin Jianshe was very unhappy. His father wanted to divide the family at this time, which clearly showed that he disliked him and felt that he, as a son, had made him lose face, so he wanted to separate him.
He said he couldn't control him anymore, but it was obvious that he didn't want to control him anymore.
"Let's break up! You don't want to control me, and I don't want to be controlled by you." Lin Jianshe said angrily.
Liu Qin pushed him aside and told him not to be impulsive, so why was he being impulsive again?
"It's fine to split up. We don't get much from each other anyway. But if we split up, Dad must give us 50 yuan a month." Liu Qin said with her chin raised.
Lin Yongnian laughed angrily, "Heh, why should I give you a subsidy of 100 yuan?"
Liu Qin said as a matter of course: "Before the family split up, you paid for the commercial grain and vegetables. Now that the family split up, we don't eat together, so of course you have to give us the money."
Lin Yongnian was speechless. He stretched his neck to look at Liu Qin and asked, "Liu Qin, do I, Lin Yongnian, owe you anything? You two have hands and feet and jobs, but you still want me to support you after you split up the family."
Liu Qin said: "After the family is divided, you will definitely live with your elder brother and his wife. Do you dare to say that you won't subsidize them?"
He lived with the eldest wife, and he would definitely cover her grain money and living expenses in the future.
Zhang Jiao: "Dad has received three months' salary in advance. He has no money left and is still in debt of more than 1,000 yuan for Lin Jianshe. How can he subsidize us? We have to support Dad, okay?"
Liu Qin sneered and said, "If we collect these debts based on Dad's salary, it will be paid off in more than a year. After that, won't his salary be used to subsidize you?"
"Besides, your eldest brother has been married for so many years and has always been supported by the family. He has never bought commercial grain and has never paid for his living expenses. How long has my brother been married? How much grain and money has he consumed from the family?"
"Even if we split up and gave us 100 yuan a month, we are the ones who suffered the loss and you, the eldest family, are the ones who benefited."
Lin Jianshe had never thought about asking for his father's salary subsidy, but after hearing what Liu Qin said, he realized that they were indeed at a loss.
His father will live with his eldest brother in the future. It’s still early for him to retire. Once these debts are paid off, won’t all the money he earns be used to subsidize his eldest brother’s family?
"Why don't you include the money Dad used to buy Lao a job and get him out of the Public Security Bureau?" Lin Guodong slammed the table and said, "The job cost 100 yuan, and getting him out, plus the 400 yuan I have, is 1,600 yuan. Add up the money Dad spent on him, it's 2,400 yuan."
"I have been married to Zhang Jiao for five years. Our food rations plus living expenses only cost our family a few dollars a month at most. Even if I make 300 yuan a year, it's only 1,500 yuan in five years. In the end, do we spend more money from our family? Or does Lin Jianshe spend more?"
"We are taking advantage. How are we taking advantage?" Lin Guodong asked loudly, slamming the table.
After hearing his eldest son's calculation, Lin Yongnian realized that he was the one who spent the most money on his father. In order to find a wife for him, to provide him with a job, and to cover his expenses, he not only emptied himself but also went into debt.
But the old man's wife was still not satisfied, thinking that she had suffered a loss, and even after the division of the family property, she wanted him to continue to subsidize them every month.
"It may seem like you don't have any advantage now, but when dad lives with you guys in the future, you will definitely get more advantages." Liu Qin said stubbornly.
Zhang Jiao couldn't help but retort, "When it comes to taking advantage, who can take advantage of you better than you, Liu Qin? In order to take advantage of the gay man in your family, you don't want to be in a relationship with him, but you still keep him hanging around, accept his gifts, and spend his money."
"Old man, you don't know yet, but the Niu Guo that you slashed was once hung up by your wife, so the family hates the Liu family so much that they want to report you to the police and ask for your arrest. They are asking for a lot of money!"
Liu Qin glared at Zhang Jiao. "I did receive a gift from Niu Guo, but he insisted on giving it to me. I didn't ask him for it. How can it be said that I was holding him back?"
Zhang Jiao: "You don't like me and don't want to date me. Don't you know to reject me directly? You don't agree but you don't reject me. You still accept my things and spend my money. Isn't that just keeping me hanging and trying to take advantage of me?"
Liu Qin: "I don't want his things, haven't I already politely rejected them? But he insisted on giving it to me, what can I do?"
"We live in the same lane and grew up together. It would be so hurtful if I rejected him directly. Shouldn't I give him some face?"
Zhang Jiao: “…”
She was completely shocked by Liu Qin's shamelessness.
Obviously, he wanted to take advantage of me and kept me hanging, but he also said that a direct rejection would be too hurtful and he didn't want to hurt me, so he gave me face.
