Regarding this, Jiang Jinhe specially found an opportunity to ask the elder of the family, Aunt Song herself. The other party just told her that these were all past events and there was no point in mentioning them again.

At this stage, Jiang Jinhe is really unwilling to let the idle Zhang Xiuqin return home to add to the burden before the upcoming winter money-making projects are fully prepared.

After thinking for a moment, she offered a new suggestion, "Second Brother, I agree with you letting Zhang Xiuqin come back, but it's really not appropriate now. However, if you're really anxious, there is a way you can try."

After saying this, Song Wenxiao, who was always slow to react, looked at her with confusion, as if he had not understood the true meaning at all.

What does it mean to be able to come back, but not now?

He was confused, but he also knew there must be a deeper meaning behind it.

Can't wait? Is there any other way?

He didn't fully understand the meaning behind this sentence, but he vaguely felt that it contained a workaround.

Anyway, he felt that Jiang Jinhe was very capable. Not only was she smart but she was also very resourceful. She would definitely be able to come up with a good way to solve the current problem.

So he listened attentively, ready to follow the instructions honestly.

"Third sister-in-law, what is this method?"

He asked with some anxiety, afraid of missing any word.

Jiang Jinhe smiled gently, she had already made up her mind.

"This trick," he continued after a pause, "is to split the family."

Upon hearing this method, Song Wenxiao was slightly surprised at first, and then he was filled with an irrepressible joy.

He thought that if he could successfully divide the money, then Zhang Xiuqin would not use the letter of guarantee to threaten him every day after she got the money she deserved.

And according to the previous conversation with the Zhang family, even if he really separated from the big family and lived independently, he could still continue to do things to make money with his eldest brother Song Yuanmu.

This way, you can have the best of both worlds!

Although Song Wenxiao himself was very willing to accept this arrangement, other family members, especially the elders, expressed great uneasiness and resistance to it.

Especially his aunt, who was an old lady who loved her children very much, and naturally did not want to see her youngest son leave her.

If Wen Yao was really allowed to move out, based on his personality and abilities, he would probably be taken advantage of by those greedy and ruthless outsiders.

So she hurriedly placed all her worries on her extremely smart daughter-in-law Jiang Jinhe, hoping that the latter could help her out again.

Seeing the worry written all over the old lady's face, Jiang Jinhe couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, she sincerely hoped to separate the entire family of four, including her second brother, to avoid unnecessary trouble for her family.

However, considering the old lady's meticulous care for her and the deep emotional foundation they had, she decided to give her a final helping hand.

In fact, the proposal to separate the family this time is just a bitter pill. The main purpose is to remind the other party to learn how to grasp the scale and distinguish right from wrong and interests. It is not a real desire for a complete break.

Seeing the other person's relaxed and comfortable look as if he couldn't wait to leave made Jiang Jinhe even more determined not to let him succeed.

"Second brother, I roughly calculated that during this period of time, your family can probably get a financial subsidy of around 40 taels of silver!"

The tone is calm as water, yet contains an unquestionable sense of power.

"Forty taels?"

Song Wenxiao said dissatisfiedly, frowning slightly as if he was extremely disappointed with the number.

"The amount of money we earn is far more than this! Even after deducting recent expenses, there should be at least six or seven taels of silver left over, right? Add to that the portion of income that Daddy gave each of us three brothers, and the total should be at least one hundred and sixty or seventy taels of silver, which is a reasonable standard!"

After hearing this, Jiang Jinhe couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"One hundred sixty or seventy taels? You really overestimate our current financial resources. Do you think this can be accomplished as easily as cutting a piece of pork?"

Then she took out a carefully organized family financial income and expenditure account book from her bosom and handed it over.

It clearly records the source of each income and the specific distribution amount ratio.

"Second brother, I was the one who first proposed the plan to repair the kang, and I participated in the planning and execution of the project from start to finish, ultimately achieving a lucrative return. You shouldn't have any objection to this, right?"

While staring at the former's eyes like a torch, waiting for a response, he also exerted invisible pressure on him, forcing him to face the reality and admit the facts.

Upon hearing this, Song Wenxiao's face turned red with shame and she lowered her head.

"Indeed, the greatest credit naturally belongs to you, my virtuous and intelligent Third Sister-in-law..."

His tone softened, and it was obvious that he had understood something.

Jiang Jinhe then continued to explain in detail the relationship between how much value each member could get in return for their labor without pausing, and even did not ignore the fact that her sister Song Yuyu took the initiative to go to Shandong to teach others skills and earn tuition fees.

"I remember hearing my father say before that you haven't made much progress in your professional skills and are almost completely dependent on Zhuangzhuang's help to complete relevant project construction tasks. Is this evaluation objective and true?"

The gentle yet stern tone of voice that demands honest answers makes people dare not hide anything.

At this time, Song Wenxiao's face turned even redder and he even stuttered when he spoke.

He felt an indescribable tension and embarrassment, as if all the blood in his body had gathered in his face.

"Uh... Third, Third Sister-in-law, you are right..."

His voice was intermittent, as if stuck in his throat, making it almost impossible to hear what he was saying.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Jinhe concluded with satisfaction: There was a barely perceptible hint of pride and cunning in her eyes, as if she had expected this result.

"Given the circumstances, although your skills are still immature, you have contributed after all. As a gesture of family friendship, I will give you forty taels. What do you think?"

Her tone sounded very gentle, but it was full of unquestionable authority.

Song Wenxiao immediately waved his hand: "No, no problem."

He responded hastily, fearing that saying anything more would only lead to further embarrassment.

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yuyu stood up and refuted.

There was a flash of dissatisfaction and anger in her eyes. She obviously had a completely different opinion about everything that happened before her.

"Third sister-in-law, I think there is a problem."

Her voice was clear, powerful, direct and unsparing.

"Second brother actually doesn't know anything. If it weren't for Third Brother taking care of him, he wouldn't even be able to find a job. I really shouldn't have given him so much money!"
