A Chinese couple spent three months gluing together 21 thousand dollars cut by a paranoid father (3 photos)
A couple from China's Liaoning province had to piece together 140,000 yuan ($21,300) worth of banknotes shredded by their husband's 85-year-old father.
According to a man named Chen, his father sold the house for 200,000 yuan ($30,400). And then, overwhelmed by paranoia that his son and daughter-in-law would take the money, the old man cut three quarters of this amount into small pieces.
Fortunately, Chen's father left 60 thousand yuan ($9,100) untouched.
Such an unexpected reaction from the father to the proposal to deposit money into a bank account forced the couple to work hard to glue together more than a thousand banknotes. The tedious process of daily 17-hour work lasted 3 months.
After this, the couple managed to exchange the banknotes for new ones and put all 200 thousand yuan in the bank, just in case.
