The Amazing son in law Chapter 1418

Jacob rushed to call for counsel and then turned to Elaine, saying, “You shouldn’t try to fix everything with trouble, okay?”
Elaine responded coldly, “You’ve claimed that this family is yours and that I have no right to interfere. If that’s the case, then I won’t cause any trouble. But how am I supposed to establish my position in this family?”
Jacob quickly admitted, “I misspoke. You absolutely have the right to take charge. Is this the head office?”
Elaine replied triumphantly, “Since you acknowledge my qualifications, I’ll take the reins now. Jacob, be honest with me—how much money do you have at the moment? You mentioned that the Dump Antique was profitable.”
With a sad expression, Jacob said, “Profitable? Not at all! To be honest, I don’t have a dime to my name right now, and the Calligraphy and Painting Association isn’t bringing in any money. I used to make some profit selling antiques, but those days are gone. I bought a few cheap pieces of calligraphy and painting recently, but after selling them, I realized they weren’t worth even a hundred dollars, despite one costing me thousands.”
As he spoke, Jacob sighed regretfully, “I haven’t been able to find Zachary lately. He used to help me sell things for a good price, but now it’s like he’s disappeared from the face of the earth.” Get full chapters from Find_Novel(.)net
Charlie found this amusing.
In an effort to please him, Zachary had spent a fortune gathering a few worthless items from the old man, which was merely compensation.
If this kept up, they would never amass billions of fortunes.
It was clear to Charlie that Jacob was trying to avoid the old man now.
Jacob’s attempts to locate him would likely be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
Elaine didn’t buy his story and retorted, “Come on, open up your mobile banking, Alipay, and WeChat wallets so I can see your balance!”
Jacob shot back angrily, “Why are you checking my accounts? When you lost all our family’s money, I asked you to show me your balance, but you didn’t. So why should I show you mine now?”
Elaine replied furiously, “Fine, if you won’t show me, I’ll grab my crutches and go to your painting and calligraphy association to make a scene! I, Elaine, always follow through on my threats!”
Fearful, Jacob quickly said, “Alright, I’ll show you!”
He proceeded to open his bank account, Alipay, and WeChat wallet one by one to show Elaine.
After Elaine reviewed the accounts, disappointment washed over her: “Jacob, how did you manage this? Your bank card and WeChat combined only have $10,000. At 50 years old, this is all you have? Aren’t you embarrassed?”
Jacob’s face turned a mix of red and white as he replied angrily, “How can you even say that? This is everything I’ve saved up in my life, and you squandered it. How else could I end up so broke?”
Elaine’s expression flickered with embarrassment, but she quickly regained her composure. “As a man, it’s your duty to provide for the family. Since we’ve lost our money, it’s time for you to figure out how to earn some! Sitting around at that useless calligraphy and painting association won’t help. Why don’t you find a restaurant job and serve plates? You could earn two to three thousand a month doing that!”
Jacob retorted, “Elaine, I’m a standing director of the Aurous Hill Painting and Calligraphy Association! You want me to serve plates?”
“What kind of ‘standing director’ are you? If you’re not making money, it’s as good as worthless!” Elaine yelled back. “Listen, once my legs heal and I’m able to go out, I plan to party with friends, play cards, eat, and sing. You’ll need to fund those activities. So, figure out a way to make money quickly, or I’ll be on your case every single day!”
