Old Guan wiped his mouth. "Full warehouse, huh? You brought everything?"
“Here you are, Uncle Guan. You’ve struck it rich and are you paying off your debts?” Li Mancang teased.
Old Man Guan: "How could I possibly blame you? My wife has to take half the blame. The best thing I ever did in my life was finding a wife like her."
The old lady's face stiffened. "Forgery is illegal."
Li Mancang looked at the old woman strangely, "You haven't even looked yet, and you already know it's fake? Are your eyes X-ray optics or X-ray vision?"
The old lady ignored Li Mancang. "Old man, I've been with you for so many years. All I want is a place to live. It's not unreasonable for me to want half of this house."
"What's the rush? Let Mancang finish speaking," Old Man Guan said calmly.
Li Mancang took out the IOU from the box and placed it on the bed. "Uncle Guan, you've taken a total of 568,000 from me over the years. I don't need the change, just give me the 568,000."
Old Guan looked at the old lady.
The old lady looked at the IOU; some of the paper was yellowed, and the loan dates were from various years, so it didn't seem fake. "Old man, this is pointless. We just live an ordinary life, why do we need to borrow so much money?"
Old Man Guan said, “Ordinary days don’t require this much money. I’m not an ordinary person, my life is definitely not ordinary. Let me tell you about these expenses. When you came to my house, I bought new appliances and other necessities. I also bought you jewelry, clothes and such. I also gave you two thousand yuan for your own protection. All of this adds up to at least ten thousand yuan, right?”
The old woman looked at the old man Guan incredulously, "Didn't you say you earned it from business? How come it's now borrowed?"
"I'm just bragging. Where did I earn that money? It was all borrowed." Old Man Guan really liked the old lady back then, and he was willing to spend money on her at first.
"Alright, then it'll be ten thousand then. What about the rest? I haven't seen this much money in all these years," the old lady said with a dark face.
Old Guan continued, "I haven't contributed much money to the family in the past ten years or so; it's all been Changshun's doing. But I was the one who paid for it before. And all the good things and health products I've eaten over the years have added up to 100,000 yuan."
"Weren't those all gifts from the Li family? Why are you asking about money now?" The old lady's voice was shrill. How could anyone do such a calculation?
Old Man Guan: "The Li family isn't a descendant of the Guan family, so why are they giving me food? I asked them to buy it for me. Actually, I was planning to have Xiaoyu pay it back, but since you're willing to share the burden with me, I won't burden the children. So there's no need to bury it."
"You ate all this stuff, and now I have to pay for it too?" The old lady was so angry she was practically fuming.
"That house isn't even yours yet, don't you want half of it too?" Old Man Guan retorted.
The old lady closed her eyes briefly. The house was worth over ten million, so this was nothing. She tolerated it.
"Alright, what about the rest?" The old lady asked, seeing how the old man was going to continue his charade.
Old Man Guan: "You know I've been buying Mark Six lottery tickets for the past few years, but I didn't dare tell you the truth, I've lost a bit."
"You think you've lost just because you say so? I could say you've won!" Gambling is a bottomless pit; it doesn't matter what that old man says.
Old Man Guan: "I wanted to win too, but unfortunately I had bad luck and lost over 200,000."
Old lady: "If I lose money betting on that stuff, will I be held responsible?"
"That house isn't even yours yet, don't you want half of it?" Old Man Guan repeated the same thing.
“Okay, what about the rest?” the old lady said through gritted teeth.
"As for the rest, hehe, you know my heartache. Without a son, I can't sleep night after night. And you can't have children either, so I was thinking of going out and finding a young woman to have a baby with. Nobody can let me do *that* for free, hehe. The rest of the money has been spent on women over the years."
Li Mancang... You really have the nerve to say that.
The third brother... he doubted that what Old Man Guan said was true.
Light rain... automatically blocked.
