"What account?"
Yang Jinqiu: "Of course it's Mom's birthday party this time, and you three brothers need to share the expenses equally."
Jiang Da had question marks in his eyes.
Han Yunru couldn't help frowning.
Jiang Fuyue laughed outright.
No wonder I haven't seen them for more than ten years, and I suddenly called them back, dare to wait here
Yang Jinqiu took out his mobile phone and clicked on the calculator: "This time, the money for renting out the hall and setting up tables, plus some miscellaneous expenses, totaled 86,218, and it was shared among the three families, two for each. Eighteen thousand seven hundred and thirty-nine, here are the detailed accounts."
After finishing speaking, he handed it to Jiang Da, who was obviously prepared.
Jiang Da didn't answer.
"Brother, what do you mean? Don't you want to pay for Mom's birthday?" Yang Jinqiu questioned.
Liu Shuting raised the corners of her eyes, smiled softly but showed a bit of meanness: "How could it be? Didn't the eldest brother just say that he would call home during the holidays? It can be seen that he is filial to his mother, how could he do such a thing? Right, brother?"
Jiang Da didn't respond, he didn't even look at her, his eyes went straight to Jiang Hua and Jiang Teng, and asked slowly—
"Second, third, is this what you mean?"
Jiang Hua's eyes flashed.
Jiang Teng simply said: "That's right. Anyway, my share has already been paid, and now you and your family are left."
Something flashed in Jiang Da's eyes.
Just happened to be seen by Jiang Fuyue, she knew it was disappointment.
This tall, dark man had always been taciturn, but he had the incomparable courage to stand up and protect his family at critical moments, but at this moment he was severely injured by his family.
"Dad..." Jiang Fuyue gently held his trembling hand.
Jiang Da smiled at her and shook his head: Dad is fine.
The next second, when he looked at the two brothers again, his eyes were no longer soft, but covered with a thick layer of armor.
"I agree to pay the money..." he said.
Jiang Hua was slightly surprised.
Jiang Teng was stunned.
It seemed that the two of them knew that this request was unreasonable.
But when he thought about Jiang Da's character, he was honest and dull, honest and old-fashioned, and he was easy to bully, so he didn't think it was strange at once.
Anyway, he voluntarily...
But in the next second, Jiang Da went on to say—
"We shared the birthday money equally, so shouldn't the gifts be divided as well?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Including Han Yunru and Jiang Fuyue.
It's no wonder they reacted so strongly, it's because Jiang Da's image of being honest and responsible is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that he suddenly became shrewd, and everyone was caught off guard.
Yang Jinqiu: "... Brother, what do you mean by that?"
Jiang Da: "The expenses are shared equally, and the income should naturally be shared equally."
"How can this work?" Liu Shuting immediately jumped out to object, "Most of the guests who came today were invited by our two families, and the gifts were also gifts from our two families. Why do you divide them?"
"My siblings also said that most of the people who came here were invited by your two families, so what does that have to do with us? Since it doesn't matter, why should I bear the expenses they incurred?"
Liu Shuting choked.
"...Anyway, it can't be counted like that!"
Jiang Da nodded: "I agree, it really can't be counted that way."
As he spoke, his gaze passed over the two sisters-in-law and landed on Jiang Hua and Jiang Teng: "What do you think? Don't hide behind women, just say what you have to say and think."
The corners of Jiang Hua's mouth tightened and he remained silent.
Jiang Teng rolled his eyes: "Brother, I don't think it's fair to divide like this?"
Jiang Da asked, "Then what do you think is fair?"
Of course, the expenses are shared equally, and whoever invites the guest with the gift money will get it!
He thought so in his heart, but Jiang Teng didn't dare to say it. He gritted his teeth and simply pulled Jiang Hua out——
"I have no idea, you ask the second brother!"
Jiang Hua: "?" The pot came from the sky.
Jiang Da looked at him inquiringly.
"...What does Big Brother think should be done?"
The ball is kicked back again.
Yang Jinqiu grabbed her husband's sleeve in dissatisfaction, and asked with his eyes: How can you hand over the initiative? !
Jiang Hua ignored him and only looked at Jiang Da.
The latter did not respond in a hurry, but calmly asked: "What do I think, can you do it?"
Now, the way Jiang Hua looked at him changed immediately.
It's like seeing a cripple walking like flying suddenly, and a dumb man making a sudden sound like a bell.
"Second, talk back."
"Brother, I... must be considerate of you, and I want to be as fair as possible, but I can't say this alone. It depends on what the third child thinks."
When Jiang Teng heard this, he quit immediately.
"Second brother, what do you mean by that? I dare you to be a good person, but I am a bad person?"
Jiang Hua frowned: "What are you making trouble about? Speak well."
"Isn't that supposed to be nice?" Jiang Teng sneered, "Okay, then I'll make a statement. If the second brother doesn't accept money from the eldest brother today, then I won't accept it either! Since you want to be a good person, let's all be good together." , Don’t let other people’s bad things belong to others, keep your good reputation for yourself.”
Jiang Hua's face was suddenly blue and white.
Jiang Teng seemed to have won the game, and exchanged a triumphant look with his wife, feeling complacent.
Compared with the eldest brother's family, he can't understand the hypocrisy of the second child even more.
One thing in front of one's face, one thing behind one's back, as if he was blind
In the end, Jiang Da left with his wife and children without paying any money.
The rest of Jiang Hua and Jiang Teng stared wide-eyed.
Jiang Hua: "Idiot! One sentence was wrapped around."
Jiang Teng: "I am willing, hehe!"
Yang Jinqiu and Liu Shuting looked at each other, and each gave each other the greatest hostility and contempt.
Now the two can only share the cost equally.
Liu Shuting: "Suddenly I feel that this is not appropriate."
Yang Jinqiu: "?"
Liu Shuting: "I did some calculations. The eldest brother has no guests. The guests of Jiang Teng and I only occupy five tables, but the guests of the second brother and second sister-in-law occupy a full twelve. If the cost is calculated by head, how can we Shouldn't it be shared equally?"
"you!"
"Isn't it? You have a lot of guests, so naturally the expenses are also high. Shouldn't the expenses be a big one?"
"Liu Shuting, are you quite picky?"
"It's called brothers to settle accounts clearly. It doesn't make sense that the eldest brother doesn't suffer, so let us suffer such a big loss, right? The second brother is good at making money, what is the three to fifty thousand? Besides, your family also collects the most gift money, maybe After deducting the cost, there is still profit!"
Jiang Teng immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, you should make the most of it, that's only fair!"
Jiang Hua's face was extremely ugly.
Yang Jinqiu was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes.
If I had known... she wouldn't have suggested calling the boss's family back.
My heart is bleeding!
…
But he said that as soon as Jiang Da came home, he changed his clothes and went to open the shop immediately.
Han Yunru made dinner for the siblings, "The dishes are on the stove, you can eat by yourself, I'll go to the shop to have a look."
"Mom." Jiang Fuyue called out suddenly.
"Um?"
"Why have I never seen my grandparents?"
Han Yunru was taken aback.
