"亲兄弟,明算账"... How would you explain this idiom in English?

Piacere!

This phrase literally means ''Even among [between] brothers, accounts should be clearly settled." 

Contextually, it means 'Short accounts make long friends.' or 'Short reckonings make long friends.'

maybe it's just a idiomatic in Chinese since the European cultured country treat this as something normal?
