Chapter 737 - 736 Kick the Door
Wang Yongping looked at Song Chongjin with a bewildered face.
Song Chongjin watched Wang Yongping silently, rubbed his forehead, and after brewing his thoughts, he finally spoke, "Fourth Brother, what Mother means is that reconciliation is not your strong suit. In the future, if such a situation arises, just remember one thing—never open your mouth. Either ask Fourth Sister-in-law or Mother, and that’ll be the right thing to do!"
It dawned on Wang Yongping, "Brother-in-law, you’re right! I’ll do just that from now on!"
After discussing the matters of the eldest branch, they talked about the third branch.
Nowadays in the third branch, even though Wang Yonggui had his faults, Lady Jiang had low expectations. As long as Wang Yonggui didn’t stay away from home all year long, or steal silver from the house to gamble in town, she was satisfied.
Their family had land, but Lady Jiang was weak and couldn’t work in the fields, and their children were still young.
Wang Yonggui had initially been forced to work the fields by Old Granny Zhang, but now that she wasn’t home, he was relieved and paid someone to help with the planting.
Wang Yongfu saw this and criticized him for squandering the family wealth, telling him not to waste money and to ask for help from the eldest branch once they were done with their own work.
Wang Yonggui refused, arguing that farm work couldn’t wait, and if the eldest branch indeed helped the third branch, he would pay them. After all, they shouldn’t profit outsiders, nor shortchange his own elder brother and nephew, right? He would not only pay them but also pay extra.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yongfu thought, if people found out, wouldn’t they say he, the elder brother, was taking money from his own sibling?
So, he let it be.
