Butler Wang understood and quickly stepped forward to hand over the brocade box.
Song Yutang opened the box and revealed the yellowed notebook inside. He turned to Jiang Qingyu and said calmly, "Second uncle, you have eaten meat for more than fifty years, so it's time for my dad to eat some of your leftovers, right? You have received the best education since you were a child, and now you are the president of the group. You are powerful and rich."
My dad learned some cooking skills through hard work, but because he donated a kidney to his grandfather, he couldn't do heavy work, and he couldn't open a small restaurant. I bought him this chef's cookbook to earn his reputation as the heir to the royal cuisine. Even if you Jiang Family kick us out and live on the streets one day, my dad can still return to his old business and support our family. Do you think this is too much?"
Jiang Qingyu opened his mouth, speechless.
Song Yutang continued, "How much education funds did you spend? How many times did you try and make mistakes in the company? How much money did you fill in? Only then did you have today's reputation, status and economic level. The money for lighting the sky lanterns, even if it is my father's education funds, are you going to fight for it?"
After a few words, everyone fell silent.
It's not that I don't have any opinions, it's that I dare not say anything.
In the past, Jiang Guoqiang's family would have been ignored at all.
But now, Song Yutang's eloquent tongue and heart-wrenching sentences have made it difficult for the old man to stand down.
No more adding fuel to the fire.
There was silence for a long time.
Jiang Dingkun finally spoke with a tired voice, "Just do it. This money comes from the family education fund, and it will be used to supplement Guoqiang's education funds. In addition, if you want to use this sign to do something in the future, it will also come from the family business fund."
Jiang Qingyu finally couldn't bear it anymore. "Dad, my eldest brother hasn't graduated from elementary school, what kind of business can he start?"
Jiang Dingkun looked at him deeply and asked in the words of Song Yutang: "Qingyu, you have eaten meat for more than fifty years, why don't you allow him to eat some leftovers that you can't eat?"
Jiang Qingyu was completely speechless.
Jiang Dingkun obviously didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, so he stood up and said, "The meeting is dismissed."
The matter of lighting sky lanterns has been solved.
But Song Yutang has painstakingly laid out the plan and wants more than just that.
She added a cup of tea to herself, "Is this the end?"
Jiang Dingkun paused in his steps and turned back tiredly. "What else do you want to do?"
Every time he angrily questioned Song Yutang, in the end it was himself who was wrong.
Seeing her attitude now gave him a headache.
Song Yutang smiled, "I admit that it was my mistake to light up the sky lanterns on my own initiative. But grandpa, you haven't asked me yet why I lit up the sky lanterns."
Jiang Sinian couldn't bear it anymore. "Song Yutang Are you suffering from Alzheimer's disease? Didn't you say you should provide protection to your uncle?"
Song Yutang spread his hands. "Wrong. Because I have no money, so I can only ask my family to provide the money."
Jiang Sinian: "... You still light sky lanterns when you have no money? Are you sick?"
Song Yutang looked at him with a smile, "This is a good question, so why do I have no money?"
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what she meant.
Jiang Dingkun's cloudy eyes narrowed. "If you have something to say, just say it."
Song Yutang slowly turned his head and his eyes fell on Wu Caixia: "I have to ask my second aunt about this question."
Wu Caixia's heart skipped a beat.
Before he had time to quibble, Song Yutang already had a smile on his face and spoke every word:
"As we all know, the second aunt is the head of the house and manages all family accounts and funds. In front of everyone in the family, please tell me why the monthly pocket money of my parents-in-law, my brother-in-law, my husband Jiang Muyan and myself is withheld until ten years later?"
Wu Caixia The expression on his face froze.
Song Yutang looked directly into her eyes, smiled lightly, and continued:
"My husband, Muyan, got into a car accident while negotiating a contract. Does the labor law count it as a work-related injury? Even if it is not a work-related injury, our family seems to have a medical fund. Why did my husband have a problem with his account and couldn't transfer the money during the most difficult time when my husband was in the ICU and was uncertain about his life or death? In the end, my mother-in-law used our own money to advance the payment?"
Wu Caixia finally realized the seriousness of the matter and opened his mouth. "I..."
Song Yutang raised his hand to interrupt her, "My mother-in-law talked to you about this matter afterwards. You said that the problem with the account was an accident. The money in advance will be replenished, but it just needs to be checked. It's been half a year now. Have you checked it out? When will the money be returned to our family?"
Wu Caixia Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
She forced a smile, "Yutang, although you have lived a hard life in the countryside before, you can't open your mouth and talk about money. Those who don't know better would think that you married into our family because you are greedy for money..."
"My father-in-law is now missing a kidney and needs to take medication for life. He cannot do physical work to support the family. My mother-in-law has to take care of him all year round and cannot go out to do odd jobs to supplement the family income. My husband has devoted himself to the company, and his life and death are still uncertain. My brother-in-law is not yet an adult. Even if he wants to move bricks, the law may not allow him..."
Song Yutang interrupted again, staring at her with calm eyes. "I am an adult, but my husband is still lying in bed. The weather is getting hot soon, and he will develop prickly heat and bed sores if he is not taken care of for a day. If aunt insists on saying that I am greedy for money and unwilling to pay back the money, it is okay, but our family is old, weak, sick, women and children, and we are really desperate. Please show mercy to aunt and find another way to survive."
"I, I..." Wu Caixia panicked even more, stammering and speechless.
"Song Yutang, Jiang Guoqiang just donated a kidney to grandpa? What's so great about it? Don't act like the whole world owes your family." Jiang Sinian looked impatient and tried to beat him up.
Jiang Qingyu also put on a fake smile and spoke with sincerity, "Yutang, as the old saying goes, there is no hope of repaying a favor. What's more, the eldest brother is donating a kidney to his own father. You always talk about it, but it's a bit like trying to repay a favor and destroying family unity..."
Snap--
A crisp slap interrupted his fatherly sermon.
Song Yutang retracted his hand, raised his chin slightly, and put a decent smile on his face, "Uncle, although you are a bastard with a mother and no mother, and an unknown father, but since you have entered my Jiang Family family and become a bastard, you are also my Jiang Family people. I, Jiang Family, spent so much money to train you, did you end up in the dog's belly? Even if you can't grow good bamboo shoots, the mouse's son can dig holes, and the dog's son can't change to eat shit, you should understand that repaying kindness is the most basic integrity of a human being.
I, Jiang Clan, am a home of good deeds, and I will help even those who have nothing to do with me, let alone my benefactor. You are shameless because of your dirty blood. I, Jiang Clan, will definitely reciprocate my kindness to my benefactor."
Jiang Qingyu was so angry that his face turned the color of pig liver, but he couldn't say a single word.
Jiang Sinian wants to help. "Song Yutang you..."
Song Yutang glanced at him lightly. "He is indeed the son of a concubine, an uneducated thing. The eldest young lady is trying to straighten out the family tradition, why are you interrupting?"
Seeing this, Jiang Shiya's eyes turned red and he skillfully covered his chest. "Uh-huh-huh... Wuwuwu... Sister-in-law is so scary... Yaya Chest hurts... Yaya can't breathe... Where's the knife? Where's the knife? Yaya wants to slit his wrists..."
