Pay back?

Zhang Xia immediately became agitated upon hearing this, "You gave birth to Zhao Chengxin, so you should support him. Why should we pay back the money? Where are we going to get the money!"

"Don't try to fool me!"

Zhang Guiying retorted, "Raising children is for old age security, and Zhao Chengxin is already severing ties with me. Why can't I take back what I've done for you? I didn't help you out of charity!"

"Where are we going to get so much money?" Zhang Xia exclaimed, jumping up and down.

"What's it to me!"

Zhang Xia felt terrible when she thought about the four thousand yuan that the eldest son and his wife had owed her. "Let's not split it up anymore, okay? Let's not split this family anymore."

"You think you can just break up whenever you want, or not? Who do you think you are?!"

Zhang Guiying didn't give the couple a chance to back out. She called Zhao Xueyi over and said, "Go inside and get paper and pen to settle the accounts."

"Why!"

Zhao Xueyi was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, he didn't mention dividing the family property earlier, otherwise, it wouldn't just be the third son who would have to pay back the money now.

Shrink your neck.

Zhao Xueyi didn't dare to say a word of nonsense and quickly went inside to get paper and pen.

Zhang Guiying had already started calculating, one by one. "I'm not biased. The accounts of the eldest couple started from when they got married, and the accounts of you two started from when you returned to the city as educated youth."

"Your father and I bought Zhao Chengxin's job for 800 yuan, plus the favors we gave out for the job, so it's a total of 1000 yuan for you."

"For your wedding, the bride price and banquet will be 300 yuan for you two. Not long after the wedding, Zhang Xia gave birth to twins. During her postpartum period, she had chicken, fish, meat, and eggs every day. Including the gifts for the two children, that will be 200 yuan for you."

"After you got married, the four of you lived at home. The rent and electricity bills were the same as the eldest son's, so I'll say 12 yuan a month for you. Since you were the only ones eating at home most of the time, I'll say 20 yuan a month for your living expenses. I've supported you for six years, which is 2304 yuan."

"After the two children were born, you two cried poverty and said you couldn't afford to raise them. So I gave you an extra 15 yuan every month to raise the children. The two children are five years old. I've been supporting you for five whole years. That amount is 900 yuan."

"I haven't calculated the various expenses of the eldest son's family, nor do I include yours."

Zhang Guiying turned to Zhao Xueyi and asked, "How much is it in total?"

"..."

Zhao Xueyi was sweating profusely, unable to understand the addition at all. "Wait a minute, it's been so many years since I graduated, I've forgotten all the math I learned before. I'll calculate it slowly, don't rush me."

Zhang Guiying, "..."

I almost forgot that the fifth child dropped out of school before graduating from second grade.

"Akichi, go and calculate."

Zhao Qiuzhi glanced at the notebook that Zhao Xueyi had scribbled all over, and her lips twitched violently. Without even using paper and pen, her eyes swept over the numbers, and she already had the answer in her mind: "Mom, it's 4704 yuan in total."

Zhang Guiying nodded and said to the couple, "Consider the four yuan as a favor to the beggar. Just give me back 4700 yuan."

This scene is so familiar.

While the old hag was settling accounts with the eldest son and his wife, Zhang Xia was still watching the show. Now that it was her and Zhao Chengxin's turn, she finally understood Chen Baozhu's breakdown at that time.

4700!

That's 700 more than the eldest couple!

Why doesn't that old hag go and rob it!

Anger almost consumed Zhang Xia; she was breathing rapidly and trembling all over. Zhao Chengxin, fearing she would faint, quickly supported her.

Upon hearing the numbers, Zhao Chengxin initially questioned them, not believing that he had spent so much of his parents' money over the years. However, after careful consideration, he found that every single amount was irrefutable.

The once straight spine suddenly bent.

Where did he get so much money to pay back his parents?

Zhao Chengxin was so regretful he was trembling.

Why did he impulsively decide to sever ties with his parents? Zhao Chengxin wanted to say something conciliatory, "Mom..."

Zhang Guiying interrupted him, "Don't bring up feelings when you're talking about money. Weren't you so tough just now, saying you had backbone? Then stop talking nonsense, hurry up and return the money, and sign the severance document."

Zhao Chengxin was speechless.

Zhang Xia, her voice trembling, shouted, "You old hag, are you crazy for money? If you love money so much, why don't you rob a bank! You say we spent 4700 of your money, did we really just spend 4700? Don't try to cheat us, I don't acknowledge this money! I don't have the money to pay you back!"

Zhang Xia was determined not to repay the money.

She wasn't the eldest daughter-in-law, and the couple didn't have respectable jobs, so they weren't swayed by Zhang Guiying's threats.

As long as she insists she has no money, Zhang Guiying can still kill her.

Zhang Xia tugged at Zhao Chengxin's sleeve and winked at him, "Come on, let's pack our things and leave here with the child."

Zhao Chengxin immediately sobered up.

Yes.

Moving out as soon as possible is the most important thing.

Zhao Chengxin grabbed the two children and tried to go back to pack their things, but Zhang Guiying had already guessed that the couple wouldn't obediently return the money, so she shouted, "Zhao Binghe, stop him!"

Then he called over Zhao Xueyi and his two siblings, saying, "The three of you go to the third brother's room and search his bankbooks. Before the bank closes, take all the money out of their bankbooks!"

He then berated Zhao Chengxin, saying, "If you don't pay back the money today, none of you will ever step out of this house!"

The three siblings went into the house to search for the savings book.

Zhang Xia was shocked and rushed forward to stop the three, but Zhang Guiying grabbed her arm. "Where are you going? Didn't you say you had no money? Take out your bankbook later. If there's really no money in it, I'll just give it to you for free!"

Zhang Xia jumped up and down in a panic, yelling, "You old hag, get out of my way!"

"Snapped!"

Zhang Guiying grabbed Zhang Xia's hair and slapped her hard across the face. "You ungrateful bastards! Paying back debts is a matter of course. You owe other people money, how dare you be so arrogant in front of your creditors? You've been spoiled rotten!"

"ah--"

Zhang Xia, unable to bear it any longer, screamed and started fighting with Zhang Guiying.

Enraged, Zhao Binghe punched Zhao Chengxin in the face again, yelling, "You little beast, tell your wife to stop!"

Zhao Chengxin was so angry he didn't dare fight back. He ran between Zhang Guiying and Zhang Xia to take sides, and Zhang Xia took the opportunity to scratch Zhang Guiying several times.

When Zhao Binghe saw that his wife was being taken advantage of, he didn't care whether she was his daughter or not. After cursing, he went up and slapped Zhang Xia hard across the face.

Seeing his wife being beaten, Zhao Chengxin lost all reason in anger. He rolled up his sleeves and started fighting with Zhao Binghe, yelling, "You shameless old man, beating your daughter-in-law! Stop it right now!"

The four of them got into a fight.

Da Bao and Xiao Bao were so scared that they burst into tears.

Seeing Zhao Chengxin and Zhang Xia actually dare to hit their parents, Li Meifeng, standing at the door, shouted, "Children dare to hit their parents! Is there no justice in this world? What are you all standing there for? Quickly pull them apart!"

The neighbors, as if waking from a dream, rushed into the yard to break up the fight!

Just as they pulled the people apart, Zhao Xueyi stormed out of the house, his face contorted with rage. He brandished the bankbook in his hand and shouted angrily, "Mom, I found the third son's bankbook! Those two are shameless! They're always complaining about being poor at home, but they've secretly deposited 5180 yuan in the bank!"
