After Ji's mother died, brother Ji and his wife felt that the sword hanging above their heads disappeared, and it started to appear during the funeral. Sister Ji couldn't stop crying, and her tears kept falling. It was useless to persuade anyone, I don't know.

I thought the relationship was so good.

After the wedding and the funeral were completed, Sister-in-law Ji and Brother Ji began to settle the accounts.

When Ji's mother was admitted to the hospital, Ji Huai said that there was still a certain amount of compensation that had not been used up. How much was this compensation and how much was used? Why didn't he say it before?

They felt that Ji Huai and his wife had embezzled a lot.

Sister-in-law Ji is unemployed, but what about brother Ji? She used to work at a construction site. After the construction site was completed, she was looking for jobs intermittently and could only make ends meet. The two often quarreled over money.

In the face of money, the ugliness of human nature is exposed.

Ji Huai looked at the slightly angry gazes of the two men and thought, "If this matter is not resolved, I don't know what will be said in the future, so don't do it as brothers."

He and Tian Jing also plan to buy a house. If they do, they may be accused of buying it with Ji's mother's compensation, and there will be no end to it.

He saw Brother Ji and his wife who were in a state of agitation. They kept saying weird and weird things. He did not refute or quarrel with them. Instead, he called the elders of the family.

In front of everyone, he put the insurance money, hospital bills, and various expenses on the table, and also made a very concise and clear bill.

Ji Huai looked at Brother Ji, "Even if we as a couple pay for other bits and pieces of expenses, aside from these, there is indeed still a lot of money left, in total."

‌Hearing that there were hundreds of thousands left, Sister-in-law Ji's eyes lit up and she raised her voice, "This is the money left by mom. Score it. Divide it into three parts. ‌Brothers ‌ share, mom's grandson ‌ share

.”

In this way, their family can get one-third of the money, which is close to 100,000 yuan.

Brother Ji also agreed and wanted the elders to testify, "The money still needs to be divided to avoid disputes."

Ji Huai looked at him, and then at Ji's father who was sitting silently aside. He was not as strong as Ji's mother. Since Ji's mother became ill, her head had gradually turned gray and her waist had become bent a lot. He answered,

"Mom is gone, the house is gone, and dad will have to provide for his retirement in the future. I plan to use this money to supplement dad's pension insurance. What do you think, brother?"

These words directly confused Brother Ji, and Sister-in-law Ji was also confused. She consciously retorted, "That's the money left by Mom. Not only Dad has a share, but everyone has a share."

The elders disagreed: "Yes, we divide the money, what will dad do? How will he support himself without a house?"

"Ji Huai is right. This money is going to Dad. How to divide it? Everything has to be given to Dad."

"I think it's okay. At least there is a source. Now the country has policies. After making up for it, we don't have to worry about providing for the elderly."

...

Brother Ji wanted money, but he couldn't ignore Ji's father, otherwise he would be drowned in spit. He hesitated and said, "How much do I have to pay in return?"

You can't pay ‌180,000, right?

"I may have to pay 300,000 yuan. If it's too little, it won't be enough for dad to live." Ji Huai finished speaking and added, "Now we have to rent the house, which is another expense. The house and water and electricity bills are several hundred a month.

, Dad now has a chronic disease and needs to take medicine. Xiaojing and I will discuss it and we will make up for the rest."

After hearing what he said, Ji's father raised his head and looked over, but said nothing.

Ji's mother's death was a big blow to him. Although Ji's mother had a loud voice and was very competitive, and eventually sold the house and wandered around, she was a person who had lived for decades.

I didn’t go to see him either. Now my family is gone and my two sons are arguing over the little money.

He has lived for most of his life, but now he doesn't know what to do. He is confused and wandering. His son can no longer rely on him. What does he want his grandson to do?

When Brother Ji heard that he wanted to make up the money, he obediently said nothing.

Sister-in-law Ji didn't believe it. She rolled her eyes and pointedly said, "I bet you will be the good ones, and we will be the bad ones? Who knows if there will only be 180,000 left, or more?"

The meat in her mouth was about to fly off, how could she not be in a hurry?

"Take a good look at these bills." Ji Huai couldn't bear it. She raised her hand and slapped it on the table, "Don't open your mouth and talk nonsense."

Sister-in-law Ji lost face and started to yell, "These two insurances paid out this small amount of money, but who knows if there are other insurances? Maybe I pocketed the amount for myself, who can say for sure?"

Just after she finished speaking, she noticed that Ji Huai was looking at her with a sullen face. He was so embarrassed that he mustered up his courage and said, "What? Did I tell you right?"

"They keep saying that we hid the money secretly and that we swallowed up mom's insurance compensation. When we bought the insurance, did we ever think about buying it for mom? These tens of thousands were paid by us as husband and wife.

Did you pay a penny?" Ji Huai raised his voice, looked at the words for a moment, and asked again, "And we bought the same thing for dad, did we pay for it? Mom is here

When we were lying in the hospital, where were we? Did we take care of them? Now they are here asking for money, where is their face?"

Brother Ji felt guilty and lowered his head. Sister-in-law Ji also choked on her words.

"You and I, husband and wife, are right. What are you talking about? The bills are all here. We don't have to pay or contribute, so that's cool."

"Yeah, where is the secret? It's too ugly to talk about."

"If you ask me, this money should be given to dad for his retirement, otherwise we will have to pay for his retirement in the future. Don't even think about sharing this money with mom, just do what Ji Huai did."

"This money can't be divided and spent. How can we spend the money left over from Mom's treatment?"

....

Elders, you said something to me and pointed at Brother Ji and his wife. Brother Ji stretched out his hand to pull Sister Ji and told her to shut up quickly. It was embarrassing!

If he spends this money, will he never see anyone again?

"It's okay to use this money to support dad in his old age, but the money to build a house has to be paid back to us, right? We have four children, so it's not easy for us!" Sister-in-law Ji is still fighting for it.

No matter what, they still have to spend tens of thousands. Now they are in debt and don't even have one month's rent.

"Stop yelling." Uncle Ji sat aside and saw that Sister-in-law Ji was already a little dissatisfied, "It's just because you raised four children, and Ji Huai and his wife paid out the remaining money, so what?"

"It's easy for us to make money. What kind of money is this money to them? They get more out of their fingers than we do." Sister-in-law Ji was indignant.

"‌What are you talking about? People's money is also earned by their husband and wife's hard work." Uncle Ji was displeased.

"We have worked hard to save those tens of thousands! Aren't we working hard? We don't want the extra money, we just need the money to build a house!" Sister-in-law Ji shouted with a stern voice, not giving in at all.

Tian Jing pulled Ji Huai's hand, feeling her head hurt, and whispered, "Forget it, give it to them, give it to them."

If adding tens of thousands will bring you peace, then forget it.

Ji's mother had just passed away, and she mainly felt sorry for Ji Huai, and couldn't bear to let him face such a scene, and couldn't bear to have him in a dilemma.

Ji Huai didn't give in. Sister-in-law Ji insisted, but he refused to give it. He said lightly, "My parents haven't given me enough to raise the children in recent years, right? How many years have my brother and I not paid living expenses? This money is always there."

How many tens of thousands, right?”

"Can this be included in it?" Sister-in-law Ji refused.

Ji's father, who was sitting in the corner, did not raise his head, but came out in a low and heavy tone, "When Shanshan was born, instead of having a full moon party, we gave ‌‌ ten thousand, and when Miao Miao was born, we gave another three thousand.

Before, ‌ said he wanted to go out to work, and bought ‌ a car worth about 4,000 yuan. Ji Hui had no wages at the construction site, so we kept it secret. Ji Huai gave him money several times, the first time he gave 8,000 yuan.

The second time we gave six thousand, the third time we gave five thousand, and then we gave two or three thousand intermittently... Our home land was expropriated, and the compensation was reduced by thirty thousand, and we gave it to Ji Hui

I lost money when I invested in opening a store, last year..."

"Dad." Brother Ji suppressed his blush and felt ashamed, so he called Ji's father.

"‌I have spent more money than Ji Huai since I was a child, and ‌that daughter-in-law also asked for 20,000 yuan more in betrothal gifts than Tian Jing. Later, she said that the three gold coins were not enough, and ‌my mother secretly bought ‌ strips without telling 

‌Ji Huai's wife, her mother's family has a lot of things to do, and ‌Mom also secretly asked you to take the money back. When building the house, you also spent the last money that was going to be given to the workers, and we had to put in advance...

..Actually, we don’t have that much money. We are afraid that Ji Huai and the others will have some ideas and make it up." After Ji’s father finished speaking, he looked at Brother Ji with calm eyes, and his words were not hasty or slow.

‌I am extremely disappointed.

Sister-in-law Ji, who had been quite reasonable just now, was like a defeated quail and did not dare to say any more.

Brother Ji, who originally wanted to pretend to be stupid and get the benefit of being stunned, really didn't dare to have any objections at this time. Seeing the look in Ji's father's eyes, he swallowed his saliva and wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl in.

Those who are favored must be confident. Ji's father and mother have been very fond of him since he was a child, so he doesn't want to suffer, and even wants to get more benefits.

When the elders saw this scene, they shook their heads. Brother Ji and his wife also walked away in despair. How could they dare to say anything?

They are not fully pregnant yet. If they want the tens of thousands of yuan, it will not be enough to pay off the debts Ji's father just mentioned. Moreover, they have already raised four children, how can they have money to support Ji's father in his old age?

Finally, the matter was finalized.

It was impossible for Ji's father to tell all these things unless he had no choice but to be extremely disappointed. When he looked at Ji Huai, he no longer knew what to say.

He moved the corners of his mouth, but his pride and embarrassment prevented him from spitting out a word.

Brother Ji and his wife are more "obedient" and will not contradict them. Ji Huai and his wife have read more books and are more thoughtful. They cannot be controlled by them, so they don't like it.

When leaving, Ji Huai pursed his lips tightly and forced out a smile, "It doesn't matter."

Before he finished speaking, he quickly turned around and left.

Tian Jing saw Ji's father's eyes were red and his mouth was trembling, but she didn't say anything. She took her bag and followed Ji Huai. After running to catch up with him, she put her hand into his and held his hand tightly.

Link your fingers with him.

Ji Huai walked a little too fast just now, but after being held by her hand, he slowly slowed down and held her hand in return.

In fact, she had long seen that Ji's father and Ji's mother had differences in their treatment of the two brothers. Ji Huai was the one who was not favored very much. He could still accept it reluctantly when he didn't know about it. Knowing that these unfair treatments were unfair, it still made people uncomfortable.

Walking to the subway station, Ji Huai took two deep breaths, pretending to be relaxed, "Actually, I think it's nothing, but it's unfair to me, and it still makes me sad."

"I don't care, ‌, ‌ don't care at all." Tian Jing shook her head and said softly, "If I had known it before, I might have felt it was unfair, but I don't feel it now. On the one hand, it's because I don't care.

It is necessary, but the more important aspect is that it is worth it because of you. No matter how unfair it is, I still feel that it is worth it."

Ji Huai held her in his arms, buried his head in her neck, and said gloomily, "The good conditions I thought I had before are gone, and I feel like I'm at a loss."
