Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Want to Go Back to the Room to Do Homework
Jiang Changhai found his prediction quite accurate as soon as he heard it and couldn’t help but laugh.
However, Sun Lixia glared at him, dragging her two sons over and asking, “Zhiwen, Zhiwu, were all of San Ya’s calculations just now correct?”
The two boys could only follow along with the account book at the very beginning, but when they returned, Mianmian calculated faster and faster, and they couldn’t keep up at all.
But now, facing their mother’s questioning and their father’s “loving” gaze, the two boys cleverly nodded frantically, “Yes, yes, everything Mianmian calculated was correct.”
“I don’t believe it! San Ya calculated so quickly, she must have muddled through! We’ll go to the village chief, find the branch secretary to calculate!” Sun Lixia was still well aware of the capabilities of her own sons.
Never mind her, even the couple from the second main house were somewhat incredulous, having personally witnessed how the eldest’s family slacked off over the years.
However, the thought of the main family having only three people, and the per capita grain ration being enough to fill their bellies a little, they could indeed eat to seven or eight parts full with just a bit more labor.
Only the elderly couple had long been aware of this, otherwise, they wouldn’t have limited their actions to only scolding when the eldest’s family slacked off.
Jiang Dashan said unhurriedly, “San Ya’s calculations were correct, I’ve reviewed the accounts each year. If you can’t trust me as a father, go ahead and fetch the village chief to calculate,”
Upon hearing this, Sun Lixia and Jiang Changtao finally accepted the truth, that the eldest’s family really had not taken their food!
Ignoring the ugly expressions on the two faces, Jiang Changhai said magnanimously, “Dad, how much grain is it? I’ll reimburse you right now.”
Jiang Dashan had not initially planned to have Jiang Changhai reimburse anything, as it was normal for a son to partake of his father’s provisions.
But now that his eldest son was the wealthiest in the Old Jiang Family, he saw no need for courtesy.
After Jiang Dashan mentioned an amount, Jiang Changhai calculated the grain against the market price of coarse grains, which came to over twenty-eight yuan.
He directly took out thirty yuan, smiling and handing it to his mother, “Mom, it should be a bit over twenty-eight yuan, I’m giving you thirty, no need for change.”
Zhang Guihua took the money and glared at him, scoundrel, what are you thinking? She hadn’t planned to give him change anyway.
Sun Lixia, seeing that Jiang Changhai had mollified the elderly couple with just thirty yuan, panicked and pointed at Jiang Mianmian, exclaiming, “Brother, we only calculated the grains just now, we haven’t calculated the rest yet!”
“Over this period, how many eggs has San Ya eaten at home, and her money for school bags, pencils, and stationery, and money spent each year on new clothes, all these must be accounted for!”
As soon as Jiang Changhai heard this, his face darkened immediately, “If you want to calculate like that, then let’s also calculate the work points you two earned over the years, are they enough to support your two sons?!”
Calculating against him, he could ignore it.
But targeting his daughter was something he couldn’t tolerate at all.
“I’ll let go of the grain ration, but the school fees and other expenses for your two sons over the years, the money for new clothes each year, and the cost of eating eggs, all amount to at least seventy to eighty yuan. Plus the money and things Mom secretly gave them, just what I know amounts to at least twenty yuan. Provide this money to Dad and Mom right now, and I’ll immediately reimburse the expenses for Mianmian too!”
The couple from the second main house was dumbfounded by the calculation, realizing that their two nephews had spent nearly one hundred yuan over the years!
In these times, one hundred yuan could feed their entire family for several years!
Seeing their Uncle lose his temper, the two boys bowed their heads, not daring to look up.
Whimpering, they just wanted to go back to their room and do their homework!
