Usually, the eggs in the house were exclusively for Shen Shuyu, and they had no share.

After breakfast, Shen Erzhu came over to witness the occasion, and the whole family sat around the eight-immortal table.

The details of the division of the family had been discussed last night, and there was nothing much to say today. Old Lady Shen directly opened the iron box.

When Zhang Cuicui, Li Caixia and Liu Pan saw the banknotes in the iron box, their eyes lit up. It was such a thick stack, and they had no idea how much money was in it.

Old Mrs. Shen took out all the banknotes and said, "This is all the savings our family has made over the years, a total of 452.30 yuan.

There weren't many tickets: five grain tickets, one meat ticket, three industrial tickets, two soap tickets, six cloth tickets, and one sugar ticket.

Li Caixia didn't believe her mother-in-law when she said the family had only 400 yuan in savings. She suspected that her mother-in-law had hidden some of the money. "Mom, why is there so little money at home? Did you forget to take out the other half?"

She could understand that the tickets were few, after all, they were from the countryside, unlike the city workers who received a fixed amount of tickets every month.

The family's savings were only over 400 yuan. How could this be possible? Zhang Cuicui also felt that her mother-in-law had hidden half of the money and hadn't taken it out. She couldn't hold back her anger. "Mom, did you hide the rest of the money somewhere else and forget to take it out? Think about it quickly."

Liu Pandi didn't say anything, but his meaning was very clear: he thought his mother-in-law had hidden money.

The three daughters-in-law all suspected that she was hiding money, but Old Lady Shen didn't get angry. She just threw the account book in front of them and said, "How much have you earned and spent over the years? I have recorded every expense in this book. You can see for yourself."

The three sisters-in-law opened the book and looked unhappy after reading it. The account was correct. The mother-in-law remembered every expense clearly.

Liu Pandi had a rare moment of wit and shook his head, saying, "Mom, that's not right, that's not right. During the years when the fourth brother and his wife were in the army, they sent a lot of money home.

And you didn't even include the pension for the fourth brother and his wife after their death."

Old Lady Shen's eyes turned fierce, and she slammed the table hard. If the Eight Immortals Table was not of good quality, it would have been broken by the old lady.

"How dare you ask that? When the fourth brother and his wife were in the army, did they send the money back to you? They sent it to us, the old couple. That was the filial piety money they gave us.

What does the pension for the couple after their death have to do with you? That's for my sweetheart.

You two are slacking off all day, the little work points you earn are barely enough for your own food, and yet you don't even think about anything else but wanting to take advantage of my sweetheart's money. How dare you be so shameless?"

Since it concerns her own interests, even if her mother-in-law gets angry, Liu Pan is very stubborn and mutters, "There is no division of the family, and the whole family has a share of the family income."

Old Lady Shen picked up the broom in the main hall and hit Liu Pan directly with a stick. "You have a shit share. I told you a long time ago that the money belongs to my sweetheart."

My mother-in-law did say it, but my three sisters-in-law chose to forget it.

Uncle Shen, the second uncle, and the third uncle all pulled their wives and said, "Mom has already said that the money is not ours, we can't think about it."

Shen Shuyu poured a glass of water for her grandmother, "Grandma, don't be angry, don't be angry, it's not worth it to hurt yourself. Third aunt has a mouth that can't speak, just block her mouth."

Liu Pandi: “…” Afraid that Shen Shuyu would stuff her mouth with her smelly socks, she pursed her lips and remained silent.

Zhang Cuicui and Li Caixia looked at each other, and neither dared to mention the money sent back by their fourth brother and his wife, or their pension.

In their hearts, the two of them were still afraid of their mother-in-law.

For more than ten years, the whole family worked tirelessly every day, and their savings only amounted to a little over 400 yuan. Li Caixia felt that this amount was pitifully small, and whispered, "Even if we don't count the money from the fourth brother and his wife, the family's money shouldn't be this little, right?"

"Huh, you think it's too little too? Then why don't you know how to be more frugal when spending money?

If I hadn't been so careful and careful in my spending, we wouldn't have a single cent left in our savings."
