Military husband hasn't returned home for two years? He reads his daughter's heartfelt wor

Accountant Zhao from the brigade headquarters was an old educated youth who came down from the countryside in 66 and had long since settled down in Renxing Brigade.

Because he was good at using an abacus, he became the brigade's accountant.

I've been doing this for seven or eight years now.

Zhao Hui quickly calculated the Cheng family's work points over the past two years using the calculator.

Aside from the work points deducted from exchanging grain, the Cheng family's remaining work points over the past two years amounted to only 375.86 yuan.

This is after the price increase of work points in the past two years.

If it were based on work points a few years ago, it probably wouldn't even be half that.

Although the Cheng family has eight members, the third son is in the army and his household registration is no longer here.

Cheng Anju and Cheng Zhenxing could earn 10 work points, but more than a year ago, Cheng Zhenxing got a job at the county textile factory and stopped earning work points in the brigade altogether.

Liu Yufen gets 7 work points, while Zhao Chunhua... is lucky to get 5 work points.

On the contrary, Li Wanqing, despite being an educated youth from the city, is quite capable at work.

They usually get 8 or 9 work points, and sometimes even 10.

The only ones left are two little kids, who can't earn any work points at all.

When Accountant Zhao calculated it this way, everyone felt something was wrong.

"That's not right, if you calculate it that way, it's about the same as our family's! How could the Cheng family have so much savings?"

“That’s right! My family has more able-bodied men than hers, but we don’t have much money at the end of the year.”

......

Liu Yufen retorted, her neck stiff, "What business is it of yours how much money my family has?!"

"Yufen! That's not how it works!" Wang Guiying said sarcastically. "We're all from the same village, isn't this just because we're worried about you?"

Liu Yufen: ...She didn't notice!

"Accountant Zhao, what about my brother's salary?" Li Wanqing frowned, looking worried.

Zhao Chunhua quickly added, "That's right, my husband earns 30 yuan a month..."

It's true that her husband earns 30 yuan a month, but he has only worked for a total of 22 months.

It only costs a little over 600 yuan...

Even if they had handed it over to their mother-in-law, not to mention that they hadn't given it to her, even with the surplus of work points, the whole family would only have a little over 1000 yuan if they didn't eat or drink anything.

.......

It's not even close to the amount of money in my mother-in-law's money box!

Could it be that... my mother-in-law and father-in-law have been doing something speculative and profiteering behind their backs?

That means I'll have to eat peanuts!

"Mother-in-law, tell me quickly! Where did all that money come from?" Zhao Chunhua asked Liu Yufen anxiously.

Liu Yufen was so exasperated by Zhao Chunhua's stupidity that she could only purse her lips and remain silent.

He Mei nudged Li Wanqing, "Why has your mother-in-law suddenly gone silent? Could she really be up to some kind of speculation scheme?"

Li Wanqing shook her head. "She doesn't dare, but she doesn't dare to say it now either. If she does, she won't be able to keep the money."

He Mei looked puzzled. Since the money was obtained legitimately, why would she have such concerns?

Liu Yufen remained silent, and the people at the brigade headquarters also wore stern faces, creating a tense atmosphere.

Zhao Chunhua punched Cheng Zhenxing, "Why don't you try to persuade him? If he gets charged with speculation and profiteering, will you lose your job? What will happen to your son?"

"Mom..." Cheng Zhenxing looked at his mother with a pleading expression.

His current job isn't hard, and he even gets occasional "gifts" (cash gifts). He really doesn't want to lose his job!

Liu Yufen opened her mouth, knowing that if she didn't explain things clearly, it would be difficult to end the situation.

"That money is all...all..."

While Liu Yufen was still struggling with her decision, Li Wanqing simply stepped forward.

"Let me tell you all about it!"

"Most of the money here is the allowance my husband sent back, 101 yuan a month, which is 2420 yuan in two years."

"In addition, after I married into the Cheng family, I handed over the 300 yuan I had on me, along with a bunch of ration coupons..."

"Nonsense!" Liu Yufen's eyes turned red with anger. "That money belongs to me."

“Then, Mother-in-law, please explain where the money came from?” Li Wanqing shrugged. “Anyway, I have the receipt you signed back then, and my husband’s remittance slips are also in your money box.”

"No matter what, you have to return this money to the third branch of the family."

Cheng Anju stepped forward with a stern face. "What the third son's wife said is right. Most of that money did indeed come from the third branch of the family."

“But we haven’t separated yet, so it’s only right that the money stays in your mother-in-law’s hands.”

He really underestimated this daughter-in-law. He should have known better than to listen to his third son and marry such a troublemaker.

"If you treated me and Nuonuo as family, I wouldn't have brought this up, but what have you done?"

Li Wanqing said coldly, "I can tolerate whatever you do to me, but Nuonuo is your granddaughter, and she's so young..."

Li Wanqing choked up when she thought of her daughter's frail appearance.

"Since you don't treat us as family, it's better to break up this family!"

Cheng Anju thought to himself, "She's pregnant," but before he could even open his mouth, Liu Yufen shouted it out.

"Fine! We'll split it, but you won't get a single penny of the money!"

Cheng Anju tugged at the old woman, glared at her warningly, and then looked at Li Wanqing.

"Third son's wife, don't listen to your mother-in-law's angry words. We're all family, why bring up dividing the family property!"

The third son is doing well in the army, and the Cheng family is benefiting from it.

If the family splits up, the third son will be thousands of miles away, and the elderly couple will have no connection with him at all.

The old man's smile was so kind!

Li Wanqing looked disdainful. In the two years since she married into the family, she had never seen her father-in-law so kind!

“It’s fine if we don’t separate the family, but I have to give you the money from the third branch. Nuonuo is weak now, and the doctor said she needs to get more nutrition.”

With Cheng Baichuan gone, dividing the family property will be even more difficult!

Let's take the money back first. Nuonuo's health is too weak; she needs to be properly nourished.

Upon hearing that money was required, Liu Yufen felt a sharp pain, as if her heart had been ripped out. "Dream on!"

Li Wanqing turned to Zhang Jianguo and said, "Captain, let's split up. We can't go on like this."

"No, no, no!" Cheng Anju quickly stepped forward to stop her. "Third brother's wife, I've made the decision. Here's 100 yuan for you to take good care of Nuonuo's health."

100?

Li Wanqing glanced at him sideways and held up two fingers. "No, I want 2000."

"Dream on!" Liu Yufen's face trembled with rage. "You might as well kill me!"

Li Wanqing ignored her and continued, "I'll let go of the receipts I handed in before, but you have to return the 300 yuan. Surely the Cheng family wouldn't keep their daughter-in-law's money like that?"

"Part of the money Cheng Baichuan sent was his filial piety towards you, which is none of my business, but Nuonuo and I should each take half."

Liu Yufen wanted to curse again, but Cheng Anju stopped her, saying, "I'll give you 1500 at most."

Li Wanqing's words were reasonable and well-founded. No matter how unwilling they were, they had to hand over the money.

"Deal!" Li Wanqing readily agreed.

Liu Yufen originally wanted to make an excuse that she hadn't brought any money, but Li Wanqing saw through her lie, and in the end, she reluctantly took out the money.

She tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead; she suffered a huge loss!
