Courtyard: Complain first at the beginning

Chapter 22 Settlement of Accounts

I made vinegar-based cabbage that night and steamed a pot of white rice. I had just eaten a few mouthfuls of it, when I heard the call for a meeting outside.

"Oh! There's another meeting. What should I do if I see Mrs. Jia this time!"

"She deserves it for being arrogant. If she doesn't get our money back this time, it won't be possible."

"I'm still eating, so hurry up and get your money back. When will you stop eating?"

With the arrival of Director Wang, the courtyard, which was already full of fireworks, became even more lively.

Jia Dongxu had been working in the factory for a day. Due to the arrest of his master, many of his co-workers were acting strangely in front of him, which made him feel uncomfortable.

In the past, I was able to do well in this workshop because I was the master's beloved disciple. Even though I was not as strong as others due to physical reasons, I never suffered any disadvantages with my master.

Those who can't do well or finish the work have their masters and brothers helping them, and they can also rest more. Now that they are better, one or two come to me.

Jia Dongxu was almost mad to death that day, but just after returning home, his mother said that Director Wang wanted to return the donations their family had received in the past few years, and his face suddenly became even worse.

"You are so nosy. Why should you give back the donation to our family? Our family is in such a difficult situation. They are a bunch of heartless people. Son, you have to think of a way..."

As soon as Mrs. Jia saw her son coming back, she immediately complained to her son without stopping. She didn't ask him to sit down and rest for a while or drink a glass of water.

Qin Huairu consciously took off her man's thick cotton-padded jacket, hung it on a nail on the wall, and then hurried out to cook. In fact, the meal was already ready, and she was just hiding in the kitchen now.

As for her foot injury, no one would care. Even if Jia Dongxu saw her limping just now, he didn't care and didn't even ask.

"Okay, just stop saying a few words! Anyway, the money is still useless to you, so take it out and return it first."

Jia Dongxu didn't want to, but he didn't have a good idea until now, but he had a good idea, but his mother didn't cooperate.

"What are you talking about! How can I still have money here? I have raised you in vain. When I am old, you still want to take advantage of your mother's pension money. It is really unfilial! Oh my God, please kill him with a thunderbolt. ! Kick this rebellious and unfilial thing to death..."

As soon as Mrs. Jia heard this, she immediately quit. At this moment, she didn't care whether the other person was her son or not. The tears came as soon as she said it. She sang and recited well in one operation, and the performance was very good and exciting.

Jia Dongxu's expression was also very exciting. Suddenly he raised his hand and slapped it on the table.

Snapped!

"That's enough! Let God kill me. Do you have what it takes? You have to pay for your pension every day. What if I don't make any money to support you? Well, if you don't take it, Director Wang will arrest me later." When you get up and lose your job, I think you can just live with your pension money! When your pension money is used up, I think who will care about you?"

"Uh...you~hum!"

These words were so powerful that Mrs. Jia immediately stood on the spot, her hand slapping her thigh was still raised in the middle, but it still didn't come down.

After the pause button was pressed, Mrs. Jia reacted, glared at her son, shut up, turned around and stopped talking.

"Just treat it as my son borrowing it from you, and I will pay you back two yuan every month from now on."

Jia Dongxu naturally knew what kind of virtue his mother was, so he rubbed his temples and took a step back and said,

"Five dollars."

"You really want to force your son to death. You really don't want to live your life, right?"

Jia Dongxu was also angry. He didn't expect that he would still bargain with him at this time.

"Okay, okay, what are you talking about? It's really unlucky for me to have a son like you on the stall."

Mrs. Jia drove her son out angrily, and then found the money she had hidden with a look of heartache and pain.

Although she has never studied, she calculates money very clearly. How many times has she collected money over the years, and how much does it cost each time in total? How much is the total? She remembers everything clearly,

If you ask her about her birthday, she may not be able to tell you right away, but she knows exactly how much money she has saved.

I counted the three hundred and eighteen and seventy-eight cents with pain, turned it over several times, and found that there was not even a cent more, so I rolled the money and threw it on the table.

Put the remaining pension money and other things back to their original places,

"Qin Huairu, you damn bitch, you haven't finished cooking the rice for a long time. You want to starve your mother-in-law and your man to death!"

Mrs. Jia took her anger out on her daughter-in-law. Jia Dongxu, who was standing at the door, knew what was going on and quickly opened the door and went in. It was too cold outside and he didn't want to stay any longer.

"Here we go, mother's meal is ready, just waiting for Dongxu to get off work!"

Qin Huairu agreed in the kitchen while carrying the food that had been prepared to the room.

As a result, Director Wang came before the three of them had finished their meal. This time, he set up a square table in the middle courtyard. On the table were a ledger, pens, and three enamel jars filled with hot tea.

Director Wang, Director Liu and the three uncles were sitting on stools, waiting for everyone to come to the middle courtyard.

The voices of the third uncle’s three sons echoed through the front yard, back yard and middle yard.

After a while, everyone gathered quickly, much faster than before,

"Let's go!"

Jia Dongxu put down the bowl and chopsticks, sighed, picked up the money next to him, put it in his pocket, and was about to go out.

"If you want to go, I won't go. My grandson is too young to go out. I'm at home to look after my grandson."

Mrs. Jia curled her lips and looked unhappy.

"Okay, you stay at home, Huairu and we go."

Jia Dongxu didn't think too much. When he saw his son looking at him, he rubbed his head with his hands and asked his wife to follow the two of them before going out.

"The nobles from Yanbu are all here!"

"We're almost here, we can start now, Director Wang."

Yan Bugui, who was questioned, stood up, looked around and said,

"Ahem~ Now that everyone is here, let me tell you. I already told everyone the reason for this meeting this morning.

Then Jia Dongxu, please return the money to everyone on behalf of your Jia family! "

After Director Wang finished speaking, he sat down. Yan Bugui knew that what happened next was his own, so he stood up and said:

"The money is all recorded. How many times have it been donated in total? Who has donated how much? I have written it clearly here and there is absolutely no mistake. Dongxu, you can check it yourself.

After confirming that everything is correct, let’s get started! "

"Third uncle, I believe in you. You have worked hard to help record these years. Just start directly."

Jia Dongxu said so, but he still took the booklet and flipped through it a few times.

Qin Huairu wanted to laugh when she saw it. He was obviously a big boss and couldn't read a few words, so what's the use of flipping through them.

Jia Dongxu pretended to flip through it a few times and then stepped aside. Yan Bugui took the book and quickly started calculating.

Because each donation has a total amount there, you just need to add up the total amount each time.

"Our compound has donated to Jia Dongxu's family seven times in total. The first time was 76 yuan, 7 cents...

The total is 318 yuan, 7 cents and 8 cents, 13 jins and 27 taels of sweet potatoes, 37 multi-grain flour steamed buns, 21 jins of potatoes, 42 jins and 50 liangs of cabbage, jins of stick noodles, jins of white flour, jins of dried sweet potatoes, and jins and sorghum noodles. Two, nine eggs, two duck eggs, kilograms of white radish, that’s a lot in total. "
