Chapter 506 - 504: Dividing the Money (Part 2)
When the time came, not only would face be lost, but silver would be gone as well.
Lady Lin could have minor grievances about giving Laosi more than her own child, but she dared only to mutter in her heart.
Seeing no opposition, Wang Yongzhu proceeded to distribute the silver.
Wang Yongfu took the silver and immediately handed out one tael to both Jindou and Jinhu, "You two have worked hard this year and grown up. You should have some money in hand. Take this."
Jindou and Jinhu looked at each other, surprised. Was dad being so generous? They reached out to take it.
Lady Lin was nearly driven mad, "Head of the family, how can you give the silver to them? They’re still so young, just children. Won’t they just squander it? This silver should be held by us, their parents, to save for them. It would help when it’s time for them to marry!"
Where is the logic in having parents who are still alive while an unmarried son holds money in his hand? Don’t all sons who earn money hand it over to their parents?
The old rule of peasant households: While parents are alive, there is no private property!
Wang Yongfu ignored her and pushed the silver into the hands of Jindou and Jinhu, who had withdrawn their hands upon hearing Lady Lin’s words, "Take it! Just one thing, don’t spend it frivolously, otherwise, you won’t get any more in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Jindou and Jinhu were overjoyed. Were they going to be given more in the future? Their hearts swelled with happiness. They were now on the verge of learning how to do business, and they had many ideas, if only they had the money. With silver in hand, what couldn’t they do?
Therefore, they no longer cared about Lady Lin’s fury and gripped the silver tightly in their hands, expressing their resolve, "Dad, don’t worry! We will definitely not waste it!"
