Chapter 249: This is too Weird
"Yaoyao, are you doubting that I didn’t give enough?" Tong Sicheng was somewhat unhappy to hear that Tong Yao wanted to count the money. He argued with a righteous tone, "The house used to be inhabited by our aunt and her family. My father was also sympathetic to our aunt. He felt that if he sold the house, our aunt would have no place to live. Therefore, he disagreed to sell it, he wasn’t trying to monopolize the property. Now that we have sold the house, we have distributed Uncle Er’s share. Your skeptical attitude really hurts me."
Lin Shuxin, who had been silent all along, interjected: "Cousin, if they don’t mind the trouble and want to count the money, let them do so. It saves us any nitpicking over a few cents later."
These words were clearly mocking Tong Yaohui and Tong Yao, suggesting that they were narrow-minded.
The house we sold the day before yesterday. We divided the money into three parts. Tong Sikui and I calculated the exact amounts, no more, no less. If my uncle doesn’t mind the trouble, let them count. When everything is in order, there’s no reason to be afraid of any mistakes.
Upon hearing this, Tong Sikui’s gaze flickered. He said, "I don’t mind counting, but it’s really heartbreaking that Uncle Er is so suspicious of me. Well, since Uncle Er and Yaoyao don’t trust me, then let’s count the money! It’s better to count it clearly now rather than having misunderstandings about the amount of money later."
Seeing Tong Yao’s firm attitude towards counting money, Tong Sikui chose to retreat as a show of defiance. Unfortunately, he miscalculated Tong Yaohui’s mind.
He hadn’t planned to count the money originally, but reminded by his daughter, Tong Yaohui, who had been a factory director for several decades, suddenly became alert. Without further ado, he picked up the money and started counting.
Tong Yao also picked up a stack and began to count. In her previous life, Tong Yao had seen a video about counting money on social media. She found it quite interesting and had specifically learned it for a while, even participated in a money-counting competition. Although she didn’t win any awards, her counting speed was much faster than average.
