Chapter 736 - 735 Ashamed
Lady Lin now somewhat understood why her mother-in-law had been so stingy and harsh in the past.
If it were her in charge, to prevent the whole family from starving, she would probably have to be strict.
Now that it was her turn, Lady Lin wished she could split a single coin into three to spend.
Originally, she had thought the expense of Jindou and Jinhoo’s marriages would be covered by Old Granny Zhang and their folks, and she and the head of the household just needed to save some money and covertly supplement Jindou and Jinhoo.
But now, with the family splitting up, they would have to foot the bills for Jindou and Jinhoo’s marriages themselves, which gave Lady Lin a headache just thinking about it.
There was Jinguan to consider after that, and with three sons, it sounded nice to say, but when it came to the time for marriage arrangements, she knew how big of a headache it was going to be.
At least the house was one less worry, she didn’t need to concern herself with that any longer.
However, on a daily basis, they could no longer afford to be extravagant.
With three sons yet to be married, and needing to leave some inheritance and retirement money for themselves, along with some private savings just in case, the numbers just never added up.
Lady Lin only had the bit of silver from when they divided the family’s assets, and the capital for starting the business, which was handled by Wang Yongfu and never passed through Lady Lin’s hands.
Though Lady Lin had control over a dozen or so taels of silver, just thinking about the funeral expenses they still owed her sister-in-law, plus the cost of marrying off three sons, made her feel like there was no bottom.
