Chapter 268 Warning
"Nowadays, our family’s business in mountain goods and the silver needed to buy back the land all rely on Zhuzhu! She said early on that this business belongs to our family, and through it, she hoped to help us live better lives. You all have accused me of favoring your sister, of thinking only of her! But this time, I am guilty of favoritism—I’ve favored you all! Otherwise, after the business took off, who wouldn’t be envious of the flowing silver coin? Who wouldn’t want it pouring into their own purse?"
"But for the sake of this family, for the sake of you brothers, I had to agree! Why? Because you are all my children, and I always hope for your wellbeing and happiness! Not to mention anything else, just tell me, even if I favored your sister these years, how much silver have I actually spent on her? Let’s not even talk about the profits from the business, just the money Zhuzhu has earned and handed to me recently—do you know how many times it has multiplied compared to what was spent?"
Everyone knows the score; nobody is a fool. How much silver could the Wang Family have had in the past? Even if Old Granny Zhang helped her daughter, what could a few tasty morsels and several new dresses amount to?
So they all nodded silently.
"It’s us parents who are incompetent, now having to rely on our daughter! My wife must have accumulated virtues in her past life to have such a filial daughter in this one, who gives everything she has for the sake of our family! Now tell me, do you feel ashamed? Are you satisfied or not?"
With these words, who wouldn’t feel ashamed? Who would dare to say they aren’t satisfied?
Wang Yongfu quickly expressed his position: "Dad, Mom, Little Sister! After our mountain goods business becomes successful, let’s use the profits to first repay what Little Sister has spent recently, and when we earn more in the future, let’s also save more for Little Sister!"
Wang Yongping also followed suit: "In the future, what’s mine is Little Sister’s—all for Little Sister!"
Upon hearing this, Lady Jiang saw everyone had expressed their commitment, leaving only the third branch of the family to speak up. She anxiously rubbed her hands: "As long as our family can provide for us, our branch, we won’t ask for anything else!"
