Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Private Fund

"Your money?"

Madam Tang repeated, her eyes shooting flames.

At the right moment, Tang Jianjun reminded, "Dad, in one family, your money is the family’s!"

Father Tang turned his head and yelled at his son, "Shut up, do children get to interrupt when adults are speaking?"

Tang Jianjun sneered and clenched his fist, "Dad, I’m giving you a chance to rephrase that!"

Father Tang: ...

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Madam Tang slapped Father Tang across the face.

"You’ve got some nerve, yelling at me after eating my food, drinking my drinks, and then talking about your money?"

She was really furious.

She said to Tang Jianjun, "Younger son, hold him down, today I really want to see how much pocket money he still has!"

Tang Jianjun loudly agreed, and Tang Jianbing who had just entered from the doorway rubbed his hands together, "Mom, I’ll help you!"

Guess every child would be eager to search through Dad’s secret money stash.

Madam Tang glanced at Father Tang’s angry expression and completely ignored it.

"Let’s hear it, where have you hidden the money?"

She wandered around the study, knowing well that there were many places in the house where Father Tang could hide money, but he probably favored the study, so there must be many spots here.

Tang Jianbing picked up an ink stone, turned it over, and unexpectedly opened a thin slice, revealing some folded bills inside, which he threw onto the table.

Father Tang yelled, "Are you starting a rebellion?"

Tang Jianbing didn’t even look up, "How could we? The only one who could start a rebellion in this family is Father!"

Then, he picked up a book, and several bills fell out from between its pages.

Behind the easel, inside the scroll, in the brush, and incredulously, even inside the armrest of the chair.

There was even money under the floor, and eventually, Madam Tang became numb to the discovery.

She had never known Father Tang could hide so much pocket money.

It was easily tens of thousands.

Among it were quite a lot of small yellow croakers.

Even the two brothers, Tang Jianjun, were shocked, unable to imagine when their father had managed to accumulate this money.

Madam Tang’s anger dissipated, seeing the pile of money amassed on the room floor, she realized for the first time how capable her husband was.

Setting aside the 50,000 he had lent out, there was still plenty here.

The small treasury was quite rich!

"Any more?"

Madam Tang’s smile was radiant, but anyone could see that she must be seething with rage.

Father Tang was utterly disheartened.

He knew this ordeal wouldn’t end easily.

Father Tang fell silent, Tang Jianbing cheekily negotiated with Madam Tang, "Mom, could I take a portion of this money? Xiaxia and I are planning to start a small business!"

Thinking of her daughter previously mentioning she was short of money, Madam Tang immediately nodded, "One tenth for you, one third for your elder sister-in-law to supplement her health during her postpartum period, and the rest goes to Xiaxia!"

Tang Jianjun raised his hand, "Mom, what about me?"

Madam Tang slapped her forehead, having forgotten, she still had another son.

Tang Jianjun, if he knew what his mom was thinking, would probably be deeply depressed.

"You get one tenth as well, another tenth for your younger brother, and the remaining share for your sister!"

All in all, Tang Chuxia received the most, but neither brother had any complaints.

It was, after all, an unexpected windfall.

Father Tang was so angry he couldn’t speak but still gritted his teeth and persevered.

But Tang Jianbing knew his father best, he went out and came back with even more findings, not just in the bedroom, but even in the bathroom.

Madam Tang was impressed.

In the end, Father Tang collapsed, sitting dejectedly on the ground.

After years of effort, it all went back to square one.

Who can endure this?

What crushed him the most wasn’t this, but the mocking expression on Madam Tang’s face.

As if watching a jester perform.

"Let’s divorce," Madam Tang no longer insisted Tang Jianbing continue searching.

This was enough to break Father Tang’s heart.

Tang Jianbing happily divided the money, and Tang Jianjun told Madam Tang, "Mom, a man should hand over all his salary, otherwise his mind wanders outside!"

Father Tang nearly spat blood.

What does it feel like to be backstabbed by your own son?

At that moment, he had the most authority to speak.

Tang Jianbing agreed, "Mom, this is enough to buy another courtyard. Can I use the money to buy a small courtyard for when I get married?"

Madam Tang agreed without a problem.

Tang Jianjun followed, "Mom, I’ll also buy a house for you to live in later!"

Madam Tang cheerfully agreed.

After all, the money was given to the children, and she didn’t care.

She wasn’t short of money.

She had her sons take out money intended for their wives and took Tang Chuxia’s share to give her the next day.

Father Tang sat silently in the study, shedding tears.

But who would feel sorry for him?

Madam Tang rode to her mother’s house, first telling her family about Tang Chuxia’s situation and then secretly gave the money to her daughter-in-law.

The elder sister-in-law dared not accept it, knowing it was a considerable amount.

"Just take it. Once you have a baby, you’ll definitely want your mother over to help, and without some money, your family would worry. Besides, with a child, expenses will increase, and it’s necessary to have some money on hand!"

Madam Tang wasn’t a malicious mother-in-law. As someone who had endured from daughter-in-law to mother-in-law, she knew too well the difficulties of having an overbearing mother-in-law.

Of course, when she was young, her mother-in-law didn’t dare to meddle with her since her family was influential. But her elder daughter-in-law was soft-natured, and her family wasn’t wealthy, so the money became a support for her.

The elder sister-in-law’s eyes reddened.

Madam Tang hurriedly wiped her tears, "Don’t cry now, you’re about to give birth. If you shed tears and go into premature labor, the baby will suffer!"

The elder sister-in-law broke into a smile.

"Mom, I’ll respect you for my whole life!"

Madam Tang just listened, as what would happen in the future would be addressed later. Promises now were merely words.

After leaving the daughter-in-law’s room, she went to her grandmother’s room. The elderly lady was oiling her precious gun.

"Mom, I want to get a divorce!"

Her grandmother looked at her nearly crying daughter without even lifting an eyelid.

"You say this eight times a year. If you want a divorce, just get on with it!"

Her grandmother’s ears felt like they were growing calluses, and Madam Tang’s face stiffened.

That’s a mother for you, always so timely in uncovering shortcomings.

Sitting next to her, Grandfather chuckled and said, "Girl, if you’re truly unhappy, just get a divorce. Dad supports you!"

Madam Tang pouted, "Only my dad cares for me!"

Grandfather laughed heartily.

No matter how old the child, they remain a child.

Grandmother looked at the father and daughter’s affectionate behavior distastefully, really unable to watch.

"What’s the reason this time?"

Grandmother asked, and Madam Tang naturally didn’t hide anything. From childhood, her relationship with her mother was like friends; she never concealed anything from her.

After hearing the good deeds of Father Tang, Grandmother handed her a gun, "Go shoot that ingrate first!"

Madam Tang quickly stuffed the gun back into the holster, not daring to use it.

"Mom, I just can’t understand. Why has he been like this for so many years? What has that Wen Wenqing turned into, and why is he still fixated on her?"

Before Grandmother could respond, the Young Aunt who walked in with a can of fruit said, "He’s just rotten!"
