From an outsider's perspective, this family plan is very fair and reasonable, and Patriarch Zhao agrees with it.
Zhao Yongyu had no objection, and Sun Meiping also nodded.
Li Cuihong was confused. She had no idea what this meant to her family. She stared at the rosewood box in Zhao Daqing's hand, and heard in her ears, "Three portions of silver."
Li Cuihong had already started calculating in her mind how much she could get if the silver was divided into three parts, and whether she could also eat meat every day like Qian Chunhua, the taciturn person.
Zhao Yongqiang was smart. He realized that if he didn't keep the money, the silver in the box would be his sooner or later. Now if he kept the money, he could only get one-third of it, which was not cost-effective.
"Dad, I don't agree." Zhao Yongqiang stood up angrily.
"Why?" Without waiting for Zhao Daqing to speak, Chief Zhao looked at Zhao Yongqiang in surprise and asked.
Zhao Yongqiang argued, "First, the third child has spent so much money on private schooling for so many years, and he has never brought a penny home. He can't take away one-tenth of the money from the third child.
Not only could he not leave, he also had to return the money he had spent.
Second, the third child has not been in the village for a long time, and I am close to my parents. In the future, the burden of taking care of my parents will fall on my family, so I should do more."
It's no wonder that after Zhao Yongqiang's specious arguments, the Zhao clan leader was speechless, and it seemed that what he said was not wrong.
Zhao Daqing's blood rushed to his head and after a violent cough, he covered the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief to prevent others from seeing the blood in the handkerchief.
"The money that the third child spent on private school was earned by the second child as a bodyguard, and has nothing to do with you. If you really want to talk about it, your three children have always been raised in a public school, so shouldn't you also calculate how much money you have spent?
Now that you are married, it is your joint responsibility to support my father. We old couple will not rely on you alone. Look, isn't it the doctor invited by the third brother who came back this time?"
It has to be said that Zhao Daqing's mind became much clearer after he no longer had any hope in the boss.
Zhao Daqing's words made it impossible for Zhao Yongqiang to refute.
When the Zhao clan leader saw that Zhao Yongqiang couldn't answer, he immediately made the decision, "Okay, let's do it this way. Third brother, prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write the family letter."
"Don't be impatient." Zhao Daqing waved his hand, he hadn't finished what he was saying.
Zhao Yongqiang frowned and looked at his father. Suddenly he had a bad feeling. At this time, his father was a stranger to Zhao Yongqiang.
Zhao Yongqiang was very scared, afraid that his father would say more family plans that were not in his favor.
What you fear will come true.
Zhao Daqing went on to say, "There are still 210 taels of silver left in the treasury. When the second wife's family broke off relations and left, they gave us 200 taels of silver as a lump sum as a support. But these 200 taels were deducted by the eldest wife's family.
The eldest brother compensated the second brother's wife with a total of 400 taels of silver, of which 200 taels were used to offset the maintenance fee, and the remaining 200 taels were borrowed from me. Third brother, you come and calculate how much silver should be left in the public treasury after taking into account the silver your eldest brother borrowed."
Zhao Daqing didn't understand the account here, but he had made up his mind that the boss should bear the consequences of his mistakes and he would not clean up his mess for him anymore.
When Zhao Yongqiang heard his father take out all the money for compensation, he knew that he had really pissed off his father this time. His father treated him as if he was settling accounts clearly, without any father-son affection at all.
Zhao Yongyi heard what Zhao Daqing said and started to nag about the accounts, "The two hundred taels of silver that my second sister-in-law gave to my father and mother should not be counted into the public treasury. That silver should be counted as my father and mother's own."
There was nothing wrong with what he said, and everyone in the room nodded in agreement.
