Chapter 141 Decent
"I'm a male! Now that my father is dead, I have the final say in the Qiao family. Did you know that?!"
Qiao Chengye had a gloomy face. In his opinion, Qiao Mu had been jumping up and down for a long time, but he didn't say anything. He had already given Qiao Mu enough face.
"Qiao Mu, you're just a daughter. Your future is like spilled water. You've been calling the shots all day long. You've already taken all the limelight. Stop it now!"
What an idiot!
Qiao Mu didn't even bother to argue with Qiao Chengye.
If Cao Cuihua wasn't her biological mother and hadn't given her some grace in raising her, she wouldn't have been willing to take charge of the funeral arrangements.
Not only do you waste time and effort, but you also get nothing in return. If you make a mistake, you get scolded.
"Since you are the future head of our family, I will leave the rest of the matter to you!"
Qiao Mu just let go, she was happy to be free.
Qiao Chengye, on the other hand, has always been ambitious but incompetent. She was very curious about how he could organize the funeral.
The young master who was brought up in a civilized family doesn't understand anything about social relationships or welcoming and seeing off guests.
He only cared about the pomp and circumstance, and wanted the event to be grand and glorious so that the Qiao family could have face.
First, they burned cartloads of paper, and then Cao Cuihua's coffin and other items were all upgraded and the best were used. A few meat dishes were also added to the table.
This was definitely a classy and dignified funeral.
Qiao Chengye thought about it and became more and more proud. Women are just not good at doing things. They are stingy and have no regard for face at all!
As for cremation, that is absolutely not allowed!
My mother was in so much pain when she was alive, I can’t let her suffer after her death.
So, Qiao Chengye bribed the people in the street office with a large sum of money, and also hired some people to find a Feng Shui treasure land for Cao Cuihua to be buried in the middle of the night with music and dance.
As a result, when it came time to pay the bill, Qiao Chengye touched his wallet and was dumbfounded.
There are only two Great Unity cards left, what can I do with them?
His father is a leader, he has made a lot of money all his life, how could he have such little savings?
It was definitely Qiao Mu who embezzled money under the guise of organizing the funeral!
Qiao Chengye said, Qiao Mu and Cao Cuihua had never been close, so why was she the one rushing to take care of her mother's funeral?
So, Qiao Chengye went to Qiao Mu angrily.
"Qiao Mu, where's the money? I want to ask you about your family's money."
Qiao Mu, dressed in heavy mourning, kneeling in the mourning hall and burning paper, raised her head calmly. She sneered, "You've spent all the money, haven't you?"
"I can't believe my parents have only saved this much money in their lifetime!"
Qiao Chengye was very confident. When his father was alive, he had a considerable income and their family could definitely be considered wealthy.
Looking at his brother's foolish look, Qiao Mu laughed: "Yes, my parents left us a total of 2,700 yuan. You bought a Feng Shui treasured site, a fine coffin, and a set of funeral clothes worth over 100 yuan. You also upgraded the banquet. How much money does the family have to spend like this?"
Cao Cuihua was a frugal person throughout her life, but after he passed away, there was a hint of sadness behind her.
Such a luxurious funeral is not uncommon in the entire X city.
Qiao Chengye spent money like water, and the funeral he created was indeed talked about by people.
After all, he had attended college, so Qiao Chengye was dumbfounded when he did the math.
He only cared about his appearance and face, but he didn't expect that he would be more decent here and more particular there, and he would spend all his belongings on it.
Fortunately, the funeral received a lot of gifts.
Qiao Chengye used the gifts to pay the bills of those who helped him. He rolled up the gifts and was about to put them in his own pocket, but Qiao Mu held his hand.
"What are you doing?! This money is mine. I'm the male of the Qiao family, and everything that belongs to my parents belongs to me!"
The only child of the Qiao family is justified.
When Cao Cuihua was alive, she often told him that everything in the family would be given to him in the future!
Qiao Mu sneered, "Do you understand gender equality? You're a legal illiterate! Forget my share, Qiao Yang is still young, and medical school costs money. You and Qiao Yang should split the money!"
Her second sister is a bit naive and has always loved and supported her as the eldest sister.
Qiao Mu has to think about Qiao Yang.
Qiao Yang was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes: "Sister, let's split it up among the three of us. It's not easy for you either!"
Her eldest sister paid for her schooling, and she was closer to her than her own mother!
Qiao Chengye refused to do so: "Mom is gone, but Dad is still here. Let's let Dad divide the money!"
He has nothing to fear. He is his father's only son, the crown prince of the Qiao family. His father will definitely give him all the money!
Qiao Chengye happily dreamed of keeping the money for himself.
Qiao Mu curled his lips coldly: "Idiot!"
She dared to guarantee that not a penny of the money would reach Qiao Chengye's hands.
All this money will go into Qiao Qingshan's pocket.
His father definitely had ulterior motives, otherwise the family wouldn't have only had a little over 2,000 yuan. You have to know that Qiao Chengye has been the owner of a state-owned restaurant all his life and has a very lucrative career.
In the end, the three siblings went to see Qiao Qingshan together.
He was unshaven and looked extremely haggard. It was obvious that Cao Cuihua's death was a great blow to him.
"Why did you take the medicine so badly?!"
People are mean sometimes.
When Cao Cuihua was alive, Qiao Qingshan didn't think she was good, but now that she is gone, he misses all her lovely qualities.
She is virtuous, thrifty, capable and filial.
The Qiao family is thriving, and Cao Cuihua deserves much of the credit.
Thinking of this, Qiao Qingshan shed tears. He should treat Cuihua better.
Seeing his father crying, Qiao Chengye also cried, Qiao Yang also cried, only Qiao Mu did not cry.
Seeing that his cold-hearted eldest daughter was acting differently at this time, Qiao Qingshan was unhappy.
"You've been different from others since you were a child. You're a freak!"
"Exactly. If it weren't for me, my mom wouldn't have been able to pass away so gloriously. My eldest sister has no feelings for my mom and wants to save money on everything. It's not even shameful enough!"
Qiao Chengye never missed any opportunity to flatter his elder sister.
Qiao Qingshan's heart skipped a beat after hearing this. The funeral was held by his son, and it was so dignified?
How much will that cost?
No one knows a son better than his father. Qiao Qingshan knew that his son was a rich young man who was useless and had no concept of money. His heart began to ache.
"The money at home is all gone."
Qiao Mu followed up coldly, and sure enough, she saw her father with a pale face and covering his chest as she wished.
"You're burning real money as paper money, right?"
He couldn't think of any other way to spend money except this way. Why would a funeral cost 2,700 yuan?
Qiao Yang spoke frankly: "Not really, but everything is the best. We hired a Feng Shui master, bought a good piece of land, and even invited a professional monk to come!"
No wonder, no wonder!
This costs more than burning paper money!
Feeling sorry for his hard-earned money, Qiao Qingshan turned to blame his eldest daughter: "As the eldest sister, you are so derelict in your duty!"
