Chapter 553: Haven’t you heard the saying that brothers should settle accounts clearly?
At night, when getting ready to go to bed, Jiang Danyue took out an envelope from the cabinet and handed it to Wang Tiedan.
Wang Tiedan touched it and found it was quite thick. When he opened it, he found that it was full of money.
"What's this for?"
Jiang Danyue said, "Here's two thousand yuan. You lent me fifteen thousand yuan when my mom had surgery. I'll pay you back two thousand first."
Wang Tiedan was stunned.
"What? I'm lending you 15,000. We're husband and wife, so you can use it if I give it to you. Why not lend it to me?"
"You're being so awkward!"
"Here, here, take it back, take it back!"
She wanted to return it to Jiang Danyue, but Jiang Danyue refused.
"Tiedan, we are a couple who got married later in life. I am very grateful to you and mom for taking me in and treating me so well. I am not paying you back now to be polite or to make amends. It's just that my conscience can't let me go."
"Fifteen thousand is not a small amount. In fact, you could have just stood by and watched, but you gave me the money and treated me like family."
"At that time, I felt like a parasite. I brought two children to your house and didn't contribute anything. I ate and drank, and even emptied your family's savings."
"I don't want to be that kind of person, so I have to pay it back! Otherwise, I won't be at peace every day."
She said she would borrow money, and she has to pay it back, even if it is her own man and mother-in-law, she still has to pay it back, she can't go back on her word.
Seeing how persistent she was, Wang Tiedan finally accepted the money.
But he couldn't collect it alone, he had to let his mother know about this, otherwise his mother might think that Jiang Danyue was here to drain their family's wealth.
Wang Tiedan got out of bed, put on his cotton jacket, and went to find Zhang Cuifen with the money.
Zhang Cuifen saw that the money was also in disarray.
"What does this mean?"
"Dan Yue said she wants to pay back the 15,000 yuan her mother spent on surgery. Here's 2,000 yuan. I'll give it to you first."
When Zhang Cuifen heard this, she slapped her thigh.
"What's this? Are you trying to draw a line between us?"
"No, she just feels guilty if she doesn't pay it back. She feels like she hasn't contributed much to our family, yet she still spent so much money, and she feels guilty."
Zhang Cuifen took the money and counted it, exactly two thousand.
This was what her daughter-in-law had saved after working hard for half a year.
After counting, he put the coins back and fell silent.
If she returned the money, Jiang Danyue would definitely come back in person to pay it back.
It's not good for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to make money back and forth.
But if she accepted it, it would feel like she was treating her daughter-in-law as an outsider.
After thinking about it, she took out the savings certificate at home.
"Here, give this to Danyue, and tell her to deposit these two thousand dollars in the bank when she has time."
"From now on, the family money will be under her control. If she wants to pay it back, she can just deposit it in the bank."
"Tell her that there's no distinction between male and female money, inside and outside the family!"
This deposit note contains all of their family's assets. What she meant was to hand over the entire family to Jiang Danyue and let her be the head of the family from now on.
If she is willing to pay it back, she can keep it there and it will be everyone's money.
Wang Tiedan came back with the money and the deposit slip, and told Jiang Danyue exactly what Zhang Cuifen had said. Jiang Danyue was immediately moved to tears.
Her mother-in-law actually handed the entire house over to her all of a sudden.
She paid it back, but it was like she didn't pay it back, and instead she had several thousand more yuan.
Looking at the deposit ticket, I was moved to tears.
Wang Tiedan took a look and wondered why he was crying.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to take it? Or is my mother's behavior making you unhappy?"
"She didn't mean anything else. She just wanted to tell you that she didn't care about the fifteen thousand."
"At the time, I was quite concerned because of the large amount of money, but after I gave it to you, I didn't care anymore, and she didn't plan to take it back!"
"Since you've married me, we're a family. She's never treated you as an outsider, and she's counting on you to take care of her in her old age..."
Wang Tiedan tried his best to explain, but Jiang Danyue suddenly rushed over and hugged him tightly.
"No, I'm not unhappy, I'm very happy..."
"I'm so happy that Mom believes in me... I'm crying because I'm so happy..."
Wang Tiedan’s brain is short-circuited. Can he cry even when he is happy?
He pressed the man into the quilt and comforted him for a long time. When words failed, he took action.
Jiang Danyue hugged him tightly, reluctant to let go.
In this life, it is enough for her to meet a man and mother-in-law who are so good to her.
At this time, Jiang Yizhou and Lu Nanhuan were also discussing money.
"My mother had surgery before and I borrowed 5,000 yuan from Jinzhou. Should I pay it back or not?"
Lu Nanhuan was in his arms, her fingertips gently circling his chest.
"Did you make it clear at the time that it was a loan?"
"Yes, and I also wrote an IOU."
"Of course I have to pay it back!"
"But Jinzhou doesn't lack this kind of money."
When Lu Nanhuan heard this, he slapped his chest hard.
"Idiot, just because someone has enough money doesn't mean they don't want it! I've already written the IOU, and you're still brothers. Haven't you heard the saying that brothers should settle accounts clearly?"
"Jinzhou is rich, so the richer he is, the tighter you should cling to him! Even if he lets a little slip through his fingers, it will be better than you working yourself to death carrying bricks."
"You have to be nice to him and have a good relationship with him. Don't be like your ex-wife, always trying to get something from him."
"The more you act like this, the more he'll get annoyed when he sees you next time. He'll even not want to see you at all. Forget about being your brother, we can't even be your buddies anymore!"
"Next time you meet him, don't act like a big brother. He's the boss now, you have to be respectful!"
Jiang Yizhou frowned: "I have to show respect? How can an elder brother show respect to his younger brother?"
Lu Nanhuan smacked his lips. "Tsk, now he's your creditor, and a big boss. Your mother's dead, so this relationship has faded, don't you know?"
