Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Biological Brothers Settle Accounts Clearly
Who doesn’t know that Jiang Changhai can walk the mountain as if it was flat ground? How could he have fallen for no reason? It’s just an excuse to be lazy!
Since everyone lives together, no matter how many work points each person earns, the food is shared among all.
If Jiang Changhai works less, everyone else has to work more!
For a moment, people are somewhat displeased.
Even if Zhang Guihua favors her eldest son, this time she gave a firm command, “Don’t feed me lies. You don’t need to escort San Ya to and from school anymore! Zhiwen and Zhiwu both go on their own; three kids walking together won’t cause any trouble!”
“No way, Mianmian is so young, and she’s a girl. I can’t let her go to school alone,” Jiang Changhai said without even thinking. How could he possibly feel at ease letting Jiang Mianmian go to school alone!
Let alone the dangers she might encounter, just the length of the road alone—how tired his daughter would be walking it by herself!
Nobody could stop him from being good to his wife and daughter.
That completely infuriated Zhang Guihua, who flung the towel hanging around her neck to the ground, “For the sake of a little girl, you delay work. Do you even care about the whole family? All you know is to be lazy!”
Jiang Changhai was very proud of his daughter and puffed out his chest, “My daughter is the smartest child within ten li, she will have great prospects. Of course, I should escort her to school. Today was an accident, it won’t happen again…”
Before he could finish, Sun Lixia, who had always been very dissatisfied with the main branch of the family, finally erupted. She furiously threw the sickle in her hand to the ground, “You say this every day. Do you know how much extra work we’ve had to do to make up for the work points? Every day you do nothing but eat, drink, and be merry; you think your life is the only life that matters, and the days of others don’t?
“From now on, Changtao and I definitely won’t do unpaid work for your main branch anymore!”
Jiang Changtao also said somberly, “Big brother, you’re really going too far now. The work you and sister-in-law do each day doesn’t even amount to one person’s work points, yet you consume the food of three people. That’s not fair to us in the second branch and the third branch.”
The silent couple of the second branch nodded in agreement but didn’t utter any overly harsh words. After all, everyone just wanted to first ensure their own household was running well!
Encouraged by their reaction, Sun Lixia was even more emboldened, “According to me, we should be more fair. If the big brother and sister-in-law don’t work, they don’t deserve to eat the food of the others in the family. You should eat only as much as you work for, and stop freeloading at home!”
Zhang Guihua’s frown deepened when she heard this. She knew about her eldest son’s laziness; without the help of the two younger brothers, they would definitely not have enough to eat.
But she also wanted to use the words of her third daughter-in-law to scare him, so she kept silent.
Otherwise, he would think that having a smart daughter ensured a carefree life of food and clothing, and he wouldn’t need to work at all!
Everyone thought Jiang Changhai would refuse, or even make a scene, but to their surprise, he slapped his chest and agreed, “Okay then, let’s do it that way. Our main house will eat our own food, and you eat yours.”
Even Sun Lixia could hardly believe he would agree, “Big brother, we’re serious. Don’t think this is a joke. We need to keep things clear, even biological brothers have to settle accounts properly!”
“I’m not joking either, let’s go ahead with that.” Jiang Changhai, with his wife in his arms, prepared to enter the house, even humming a little tune in high spirits.
Su Wanyu had always trusted him and was equally relaxed.
Leaving behind several people dumbfounded…
Sun Lixia, who had achieved her goal, should have smiled, but couldn’t. The success was simply too easy!
