Chapter 425 - 35 Charitable Foundation
Hearing this, both Lin Xiaoguai and Shen Chi were stunned.
For the first time, Lin Xiaoguai showed severity towards an elder, "Grandpa, do we really need to distinguish between ’yours’ and ’mine’ among family? Is there a difference between you being at a loss and me being at a loss?"
Shen Chi frowned. Grandpa had always been cautious with money; how could he suddenly agree to let someone buy on credit?
Being criticized by his granddaughter-in-law for the first time, Shen Zhangming was momentarily startled, feeling wronged as he hurriedly explained, "No, that’s not what I mean. It’s just that you all need your money, while the money in my hands is spare. It doesn’t matter if I’m out of it temporarily."
It wasn’t that he was trying to alienate his granddaughter-in-law. After all, the money in his hands was just pocket money given to him by the granddaughter-in-law. If they really were to become estranged, he wouldn’t accept the money at all.
He only thought that having so much money on hand was useless, and the girl had such a pitiable life story; helping her with that money would be a good deed.
Seeing the old man’s anxious expression, Lin Xiaoguai realized she had been too harsh—this was timely, as Lin Xiaoguai’s taboo was precisely the need to split ’yours’ and ’mine’ among family members. Otherwise, how could her four brothers have sold her off? Wasn’t it because they felt that, in the end, she would benefit from going to college, and they wouldn’t gain any advantage?
She had always believed that family members should not be so distinctly separated; otherwise, over time, a family wouldn’t feel like a family anymore.
