After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed-Chapter 160 - Three Children Settling Accounts Together
Chapter 160: Chapter 160 Three Children Settling Accounts Together
The money that reached Mom and Dad’s hands mostly went to Zhiwen and Zhiwu; her several daughters couldn’t touch a single cent.
Secondly, the Eldest’s family was much more honest than Laosan’s family; they wouldn’t use the fact they had sons as an excuse to oppress the second wife’s side.
The elder brother just shared some precious biscuits with his several daughters.
But she was well aware that she didn’t have a say in matters, so she kept silent just like her husband.
At that moment, they heard Jiang Changhai sneer, “Fine! Since they feel they’ve been wronged before, let’s settle the accounts properly. If I’ve really eaten your grain, I’ll repay however much I’ve consumed. Mom, Dad, please bring out the account book.”
Jiang Dashan slowly exhaled a ring of smoke and said, “Alright, since you all want to do the math, let’s do it. Wife, go get the account book.”
...
He knew that over the years, the Eldest had been lazy and avoided work; both the second and third brothers harbored some resentment in their hearts.
In the past, he favored the Eldest, worried that he wouldn’t get enough to eat, but the palm and the back of the hand are both part of the hand; achieving perfect fairness would be the best.
So it would be good to resolve this matter while they had the chance.
“Okay.”
Zhang Guihua quickly stood up, went into the house, and pulled out a very worn little notebook from the bottom of the cabinet, densely filled with the work points earned by each member of the Jiang Family every month.
When she first made this account book, it was to prevent the village scorekeeper from recording their family’s work points inaccurately.
Every day after work, she would note down the family members’ work points, and at the end of the year during the grain distribution, she would have Jiang Dashan double-check it. If even a single pound of grain was missing, she would insist on getting it back.
After taking out the account book, she handed it to Jiang Dashan to calculate, since her literacy was limited to simple bookkeeping. Every year, the household accounts were calculated by Jiang Dashan.
Jiang Dashan took the account book but then waved toward Jiang Mianmian, “San Ya, come here, calculate these work points and the grain.”
“Huh?”
Jiang Mianmian was originally pretending to be invisible, but suddenly being called out by her grandfather, she first blinked in surprise; then, she walked over obediently.

However, before she could take the account book, Sun Lixia objected, “Dad, how can you let San Ya do the accounting? She’s from the Eldest’s branch and will certainly be biased toward the Eldest brother.”
Jiang Dashan wasn’t upset but countered, “Then tell me, who should do it, who has the brainpower to understand all these accounts clearly?”
“Let Zhiwen and Zhiwu oversee San Ya as she calculates,” said Sun Lixia without hesitation, pushing forward her two sons.
Zhiwen and Zhiwu had faces full of resistance: … No, no, no, they couldn’t do it.
However, Jiang Dashan simply nodded in agreement, “Fine, let the three kids do it together.”
The two boys wanted to say they couldn’t do it, but seeing Sun Lixia’s current expression, they could only reluctantly agree.
Jiang Mianmian also expressed some worry, “What if we calculate it wrong?”
Jiang Changhai waved his hand, “Then calculate it a few more times.”
Just as Jiang Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief, she heard her father confidently say, “I trust that you won’t make a mistake, my girl.”
Jiang Mianmian: …Don’t put pressure on me ahhh!
The system encouraged her, “Don’t worry, Host. With your current level, you should have no problem handling these calculations.”
What could Jiang Mianmian do? She quickly flipped through the account book under everyone’s watchful eyes, calculating the data in her mind.
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Mianmian wrote down the calculated results and handed them to Jiang Dashan, “Grandpa, I’ve finished the calculations.”
That fast?
The two boys were still scratching their heads with their pens.
Jiang Dashan took the account book, squinted at it for a good while, and then said, “The Eldest’s family may not have earned many work points, but there are fewer people in their household, so they don’t consume as much grain. The surplus work points your mother and I earned were almost enough to make up for the Eldest’s family needs; the Eldest hasn’t eaten your grain.”
