Chapter 53. What do you make money for?
Other people also protected their bowls, refusing Hua Jin’s scooping of the egg custard.
Looking at her loving family, Hua Jin sighed: "Grandma, Grandpa, and Mom and Dad, why are we earning money?"
Without waiting for a response, Hua Jin continued: "Isn’t it just so we have enough to eat and wear, and to live a good life."
"But Jin’er..."
Old Lady Hua just began to speak but was interrupted by Hua Jin, "Grandma, I know what you’re trying to say. Indeed, people need to anticipate danger in times of peace, and shouldn’t spend recklessly even when they have money, but having a good body is more important than money. If you only think about replenishing my body, yours is also important. Anyway, I’m laying it out here: good things should be shared, and we should all nourish our health together."
"Moreover, there’s no need to worry about money. Your granddaughter has plenty of ideas in her head and could keep painting different designs for months without a problem. Besides, don’t Dad, Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma also have an income?"
Money represents a person’s confidence, dignity, and self-esteem. Since we’ve found a way to make money, Hua Jin decided to improve the family’s living conditions over the next few months, at least saving a certain amount so that they won’t lose their footing when something happens in the future.
After offering reassurance, Hua Jin looked seriously at her family, persistently holding her bowl.
Basically, she wanted to express one thing: if we’re eating, we eat together.
The dining table immediately fell silent, the family fixed their eyes on Hua Jin.
