1264 Now You Know to Be Fair
With this tone, attitude, and understanding of their mother, the sisters already understood that what had happened today was probably not a good thing.
When they entered the living room, the old man was also there. He was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. When he saw Wang Yunmei and Wang Yunzhi, he said the same thing as the old lady, “You’re here.”
However, compared to the old lady, the old man’s tone was gentler. Although he did not take his two daughters seriously, the old man could see the situation. At this time, his elder daughter’s conditions were the best in the family, and his elder son was doing his best to repair the relationship between the two families.
Therefore, as a father, he was unwilling to drag his son down.
From this point of view, the old man understood more than the old lady and was more flexible.
“Dad,” Wang Yunmei and her sister called out in unison. Then, they walked to the sofa and sat down.
The old lady sat down on the sofa on the other side with a stony expression. Her gaze landed on her two daughters’ faces. Saying nothing, she could see disdain and disgust in their expressions.
As soon as she opened her mouth, she questioned, “Yunfa caused such a big incident. As sisters, how can you not ask about it?!”
Wang Yunmei and Wang Yunzhi looked at each other and immediately understood. This trip today was probably related to Yunfa.
However, the old lady criticized them for no reason the moment she opened her mouth. Wang Yunmei couldn’t accept it because no one had told them about Wang Yunfa.
They knew about this, but that was because Wang Yunzhong accidentally let it slip. Otherwise, how would they know?
The old man immediately said, “How would Xiao Mei and Zhi know about this? It’s not like they have clairvoyance or hearing. You didn’t tell them as well, right?”
“Dad, we know about this. Brother told us a few days ago,” Wang Yunzhi said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Yunzhi looked at the old lady and said calmly, “Mom, Sister and I are still thinking about Yunfa. However, what can the two of us do about this illegal matter? When Brother told us, he said that Yunfa had already been arrested. Don’t tell me you want Sister and me to break into the prison?”
“Listen to this.” When the old lady heard Wang Yunzhi’s words, she was immediately angry. “Is this something an elder sister should say? Your brother almost went to jail. I think you’re not anxious at all!”
“Mom, what do you want to say? Why don’t you just say it?” Wang Yunmei couldn’t stand it anymore. Every time she met the old lady, no matter what, no matter who was right or wrong, she had to scold and humiliate them before she felt comfortable.
Wang Yunmei looked at the old lady with a cold expression and said coldly, “You called Zhi and me over. If there’s anything we can help with Yunfa’s matter, we definitely won’t sit idle. Although our relationship is tense now, he’s still my brother.”
Wang Yunmei meant what she said. Ever since they found out that the police station had taken Wang Yunfa away, she and Wang Yunzhi had been thinking about him.
However, as Wang Yunzhi had said, they did not know what they could do or help with this illegal matter. They could only be anxious.
No matter how much of a bastard Wang Yunfa was, he was still her biological brother. She naturally didn’t want to see him jailed at this critical juncture.
“Xiao Mei, you sound like an elder sister,” the old man praised.
The old lady snorted in disdain in her heart. However, since Wang Yunmei had said so, she couldn’t say anything nasty. She immediately shared about the reconciliation.
In the end, the old lady emphasized, “Two hundred and fifty thousand yuan is too much. It’s naturally difficult for your brother to take out all the money alone. Moreover, your brother took out fifty thousand yuan previously. The remaining two hundred thousand yuan isn’t a small sum. We should split this among the three families. As for how to split it, it still depends on your conditions.”
The old man also said, “You’re all biological brothers and sisters. Everyone will contribute together to reduce each other’s burden. You can’t let your brother take out so much money alone, right?”
In the end, it was because of money.
Wang Yunmei couldn’t help but ask, “It’s a good thing that the reconciliation succeeded, but isn’t this two hundred and fifty thousand yuan too much? This sum is unreasonable, but Brother agreed?”
“Hah, they asked for three hundred thousand yuan as soon as they opened their mouths!” The old lady sneered and explained, “Your brother even lowered it to two hundred and fifty thousand yuan in the end. They’re the victims, so they would ask for as much as they want, right?”
“Xiao Mei, the situation at that time was not optimistic. We won’t lie to you about such a thing!” the old man said.
“Dad, I didn’t say that you were lying to us. I’m just raising my doubts about the settlement amount,” Wang Yunmei said.
However, they had already given him the money, so there was no point in saying anything.
The old lady urged impatiently, “Anyway, since your brother took out the money, you have to take it out too. This is only fair!”
Wang Yunzhi looked at the old lady’s matter-of-fact expression and couldn’t help but sneer in her heart. Now, she knew to be fair?
Since they were young, she and her elder sister had never experienced what fairness was!
However, to her surprise, Wang Yunmei showed no resistance or unwillingness.
Instead, she said to Wang Yunzhi, “Zhi, calculate how to split it fairly.”
Wang Yunzhi was now in the finance department of East Sea Real Estate. What she did every day was settle accounts, so she was relatively good at this.
Seeing that her elder sister didn’t object, Wang Yunzhi said nothing. Hearing this, she nodded and said, “Two hundred and fifty thousand yuan. Brother took out fifty thousand yuan, so there’s still two hundred thousand yuan left. My family, Elder Sister’s family, and Yunfa’s family can fork out sixty thousand yuan each. That’s a total of one hundred and eighty thousand yuan, so there’s still twenty thousand yuan left. In the end, this is Yunfa’s family’s matter. Yunfa will make up the remaining twenty thousand yuan.”
“This means that Brother will fork out fifty thousand yuan. Because Brother is the one who has been worried about this from the beginning to the end, we can accept him forking out the least!”
“Yunfa’s family will take the largest sum of eighty thousand yuan. After all, he caused trouble himself. Of course, he has to bear more responsibility.”
“Sister and I will fork out sixty thousand yuan each. That’s one hundred and twenty thousand yuan! Including Yunfa’s eighty thousand yuan and Brother’s fifty thousand yuan, it’s two hundred and fifty thousand yuan!”
Wang Yunzhi didn’t split the two hundred and fifty thousand yuan equally into four portions. Instead, she divided it according to various factors. Whoever took more and why they took so much was reasonable.
However, when Wang Yunmei heard this, she had no expression on her face. She only looked at the two elders.
“Dad, Mom, do you have any objections?” Wang Yunmei asked.
Without waiting for the old lady to speak, the old man beat her to it. “No, this is quite good!”
The old lady opened her mouth with a reluctant expression. Her idea was that Wang Yunmei should take the lion’s share. After all, her family was the richest now!
The old man gave the old lady a look and gestured for her to shut up. The old lady turned her head away unwillingly.
