Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Let Saburo Take the Silver
Tong Xingda and Tong Tiehu said that everyone had their own private money. This didn’t include her and Tong Er Lang.
The small amount of silver that Tong Er Lang had saved was given to her once they got married.
Her family was not well-off, and she had to supplement them from time to time. Besides, she enjoyed good food and clothing, and always felt embarrassed to ask Tong Tiehu for money. Therefore, she had spent most of the private money that Tong Er Lang had saved since childhood.
If everyone was to pool money to buy the field, she couldn’t contribute.
“Exactly, dad, who will pay for the field?” Zhang Family heard, and vigorously nodded their head.
Previously, the family had both a farm and a store, with plenty of income, so small sums of money didn’t matter at all.
But now that the family was in this state, the silver on hand needed to be carefully spent.
Upon hearing this, Tong Tiehu glanced at her, and said, “Of course, those who have private money should contribute a bit.”
“I haven’t saved any private money. All my silver was mixed with the public fund and was just confiscated. Madam, how much do you have?” Tong Tiehu turned to look at Qjan Family.
With a face full of wrinkles, Qian Family responded sadly, “Less than a hundred taels.”
She also had to supplement her family.
“Bring out fifty taels. The rest of the fifty taels, let them make up for it.” Tong Tiehu said.
Upon hearing this, Qian Family lowered her head and remained silent.
She still had complaints that hadn’t been vented.
Just now, the Zhang Family said that Tong Tiehu’s proposal of marriage years ago was deceitful. This was indeed deceit. If she had known this earlier, she wouldn’t have married him!
Seeing this, Tong Tiehu furrowed his brows and commanded in a rebuking tone, “Bring it out. If we plant something now, we can still harvest some in the autumn.”
“Get what? Why should I put in the most?” Qian Family protested.
“Because you are the elder.”
“Just because I’m the elder, I’m old now and should be enjoying the benefits of the younger generation. One hundred taels of silver should be shared by everyone.”
Humph, Tong Tiehu was strong-willed and aggressive, while she was soft- natured. She had always silently endured his orders and scoldings.
But this time was different.
There won’t be much income in the future, and this hundred taels of silver was everything she had.
She couldn’t bear to give away half of it all at once.
Besides, she still had to supplement her own family!
“I think, it should be like this.” Seeing that Tong Tiehu was about to get angry, Zhu Hongyun quickly cut in, “This matter was known to grandpa, father, and third brother. So, the hundred taels of silver should be provided by grandma, mother, and third brother.”
These three people knew about the matter, so it should be paid by the people closest to them.
Tong Third Brother didn’t have a partner, so he should pay for himself.
In any case, she didn’t have any silver.
“That’s a good idea.” Tong Er Lang hearing it, eyes brightened, nodding continuously.
The couple of eldest son Tong silently embraced their children, lowered their heads, and said nothing.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Family glared at Zhu Hongyun fiercely. She was also an innocent party, and she felt aggrieved!
Qian Family also couldn’t help but glare at Zhu Hongyun, who was acting as an elder, being oppressed by the younger generation and drained of her resources!
Zhu Hongyun felt the force of Zhang and Qian Family’s disdainful looks and got scared, quickly looking away.
Seeing Tong Third Brother sitting silently on the chair by the door, she got a sudden idea and emphatically slapped her thigh, “I think it would be better if Third Brother chips in for the silver!”
“Third Brother knows martial arts, he can easily earn money. And he has been going out with grandpa in the past, seeing and learning a lot. Plus, he has spent quite a bit of silver on his studies over the years. Also, he is not married and doesn’t have to spend money on that part, so he should provide for this!”
