Chapter 75 - 75 73 Mountain Delicacies
?Chapter 75: Chapter 73: Mountain Delicacies Chapter 75: Chapter 73: Mountain Delicacies Granny Lei, seeing that Madam Jiang was sincere and not upset, smiled and said, “It’s a father’s duty to support the family. Eldest son, second son, third son, fourth son, most of the silver you earn should rightly go into the public coffers, I believe. As for the elder son’s generation, they are still children; any silver they manage to earn doesn’t have to go into the public coffers and can belong to them. Their parents can also keep it for them.”
Xuanbao had no real awareness of whose name was written on the land deed, nor any concept of a dowry.
For over a hundred years, the only thoughts in the mind of a flower were to strive hard in cultivation, bloom beautifully, and not to be eaten by rabbits and Goat Spirits. Where were there any thoughts of marrying off?
Now that everyone was so good to her, she too wanted her family to live happily. “Those wastelands and barren hills, we’ll plant fruit trees and medicinal herbs in the future, and the silver earned, we will all spend together, buy delicious food to eat together, buy beautiful clothes to wear together, build houses to live in together, and send the brothers to the Academy.”
The whole family laughed when they heard this; look how filial Xuanbao is!
Madam Jiang felt even more ashamed of her previous pettiness.
Granny Lei nodded, “Before Xuanbao gets married, the proceeds from those wastelands and barren hills should go into the public coffers, and you can all help manage them a bit.”
A family divided too distinctly could become distant over time. She just wanted to save some dowry for her granddaughter.
Life is so long, and wealth is most alluring. She was old and didn’t know how many years she had left. Who could know the future? Of course, she had to secure a piece for her granddaughter from the start.
If the fruit trees and medicinal herbs really did come to fruition and earned silver, it would still be mainly the grandsons who were studying that would need more money. She only hoped that in the future, the grandsons would remember Xuanbao’s goodness.
Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang felt even more relieved and silently chided herself for her small-mindedness, which was unwarranted.
