There was a hint of resentment in her eyes.
Zhou Wu's heart immediately jumped, which was also the most irritating thing for him.
His mother was in excruciating pain every time she had an attack, so naturally she didn't have time to bring any money.
He would have to step in, but she always looked unhappy.
He was in a difficult position, wasn't he? Could he just watch his mother suffer and do nothing?
“Mother said,” Zhou Wu tentatively said, “that from now on, her medicine expenses will be split equally among the three families.”
Gu Yanhe threw a tantrum yesterday and even declared that she didn't want to be with him anymore.
He panicked and mustered up the courage to argue with his mother for a long time before getting this result.
Gu Yanhe: "Spreading the cost evenly is no problem. Let's spread the cost of what we already have first."
“The past… it’s been so long, there’s no proof, who would believe it?” Zhou Wu was a little worried. His family had paid for his mother’s medicine all these years.
Everyone knows about this, but who can say exactly how much?
If you rely solely on words, you're likely to cause a huge uproar.
Gu Yanhe rolled her eyes at him. "Who said there was no proof or evidence?"
I keep all the receipts for the medicine I get carefully. I'll find them all when I get back.
"Take this and calculate it carefully, then get back all the money we've advanced over the years."
Zhou Wu's expression began to crack. "You're still keeping those orders?"
"Yes, not a single one is missing. I'll give it to you when we get back." She's a thrifty person; she's kept a record of all the major household expenses over the years.
The cost of his wife's medicine accounted for a large proportion of these expenses.
How could she forget?
Zhou Wu's face immediately fell.
He had a premonition that the days ahead would be difficult.
His mother said that starting from this point, she meant that the previous statements no longer apply.
But his wife insisted on starting from the beginning, without missing a single time.
He was caught in the middle, truly caught in a dilemma.
In the past, he might have advised her to be understanding and, for his sake, not to pursue the matter further.
Harmony between brothers is the most important thing.
Judging from her resolute demeanor yesterday, this matter is probably... hopeless.
He tentatively suggested, "How about we leave the previous ones behind..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yanhe's eyes, sharp as knives, fell fiercely on him. "If you dare to give up what you had before, I'll never forgive you."
"I..." Zhou Wu suddenly realized, "I, I'll give it a try."
"I'll go with you." After so many years of marriage, she knew his personality inside and out.
He's a spineless coward, easily swayed.
If she doesn't go, given his personality, his mother will cry to him, and his two brothers will say a few conciliatory words, and he will definitely compromise.
"No, no need, I can go by myself."
Gu Yanhe ignored him and walked even faster with the two children.
Sure enough, as soon as she got home, she opened her dowry chest and took out a square wooden box.
After opening the box, they took out a thick stack of receipts. "Let's go, let's settle the accounts."
Now Zhou Wu had no more excuses to refuse, and could only follow her to the old house with a bitter face.
Sure enough, as soon as they met, the old woman cried and said, "Second son's wife, I'm so sorry."
If it weren't for taking me to the hospital, you wouldn't have missed your chance to go back to your parents' home for your wedding.
It's all because of this old woman that I've dragged you all down. I deserve to die.
Don't hold a grudge against the second son.
"You two should live a good life from now on. I, this old woman, won't be a burden to you anymore."
The old woman spoke very sincerely, almost to the point of beating her chest and stamping her feet, and she kept touching the corner of her eye.
However, Gu Yanhe remained unmoved, because she had seen this kind of thing far too often over the years.
"Alright, if you're sick, go get treatment. There's nothing more to say. I didn't come here today to talk about this." She waved a thick stack of papers in her hand.
Everyone in the room looked at the form in her hand, asking with puzzled expressions, "What is this...?"
"Oh, these are Mother's medical expenses over the years, all of which our family has helped pay for."
We three brothers have already separated our households; it wouldn't be right for our whole family to pay for everything.
If word gets out, people will say that my parents are not treating each other equally.
"Tilting your head and tail, ignoring the middle." Gu Yanhe smiled faintly, then found a chair and sat down.
The entire Zhou family in the room choked up; this was a sarcastic remark directed at them!
Judging from her posture, she came prepared.
Unexpectedly, the second son's wife, who usually seemed like a very honest person, was actually quite shrewd and calculating.
Otherwise, why would she keep all these prescriptions, which are so many years old?
The old woman spoke first, "Second son's wife, why are you still keeping this order?"
People say you shouldn't keep prescriptions; it's bad luck.
Gu Yanhe glanced at the people in the room. "How will we know how much money was spent if we don't keep it?"
As for whether it's auspicious or not, I think as long as you have a clear conscience, there's not much to be afraid of.
"Mother, don't you think so?"
The Zhou family...
This is a blatant attempt to provoke them, implying that they are not honest!
Without giving them a chance to speak, Gu Yanhe continued, "I've calculated all the bills here; it's a total of one hundred and eighty-five yuan."
We're all family, so I'll cover those five dollars.
"Big brother and third brother, your family, just give us sixty yuan."
