Chapter 749 - 748: What a Beautiful Thought!
Lady Lin had not yet spoken when Wang Yongfu could no longer bear it. He kicked the stool in front of him away and said coldly, "I’m not dead yet! Do each and every one of you think your wings are now strong? None of you regard me, your father, as important anymore, huh?"
With that, he looked towards Jindou and Jinhoo.
Jinhoo tried to say something, but Wang Yongfu scolded, "Shut your mouth! Who’s in charge of this household now? It’s still your old man! You lot are half-grown, without even wives, and you’re acting like adults? Taking charge? Seems like you think you’re the most capable one here, the most impressive, huh?"
"Where are you going to get an ounce of silver every month? With that little business of yours, trading for groceries and needles at the town, tricking children and women from the village to exchange goods, earning those meager silver pieces? Now there are still goods to collect, you can barely make it each month, but what about during summer and winter? What will you give her then?"
Jinhoo opened his mouth to speak, "I can—"
His words were mercilessly cut off by Wang Yongfu, "You can what? Go borrow or earn? Without relying on the goods trade, what money can you make? At your half-grown age, nobody would even hire you for odd jobs! Do you understand that?"
"Or are you planning to borrow money? From whom? Which family has surplus? Your third uncle or your fourth uncle? Or do you plan to ask your old aunt for a loan? I think you’ve made a tidy sum and got cocky, forgetting even your own name, haven’t you?"
"Why on earth would your old aunt lend you money? What if you can’t pay it back? Just give it to you for nothing? Are you providing for your mother, or do you expect your old aunt to do it? Don’t speak so nicely, just to have someone else clean up your mess later!"
Jinhoo’s face turned bright red with embarrassment, and he defended, "I wouldn’t have anyone clean up after me—"
