What does Du Ping mean by settling accounts?
Of course, it means giving the money he has earned to his brother.
In his mind, the shop is up and running because of the money Du Heng put in for the capital, renovation, inventory, and other expenses. As for him and his wife, they just took on the responsibility.
Therefore, he always believed that the shop belonged to Du Heng, and they were merely shopkeepers who looked after the shop for their brother.
Moreover, the most crucial point is that Du Heng is now married and can't mingle in the same way as before. Even as brothers, they have to keep clear accounts, as he now has his own family to take care of.
Du Heng was a bit speechless about his elder brother's persistence. "Brother, I've told you a long time ago that this shop is yours. From the day you took over, whether it makes a profit or a loss, it has nothing to do with me."
