After Shao Family sold the golden earrings, she showed the silver coins to her mother-in-law: "I sold them for seven and a half taels."
Tang Family was overjoyed and laughed, "Store the money well when you get back. It's your private stash for the future. Don't spend it unnecessarily. After all, public funds are used for food and clothing so don't lend it to anyone. Yaoyao will need money when she grows up."
"I understand, mother." The Shao wife gave Yingbao a smile, took back her son from her mother-in-law's arms, and went home with him.
Yingbao watched the mother and son leave, feeling inexplicably sorry for them.
Because next year, Tang's son will return from the battlefield with a broken leg and die not long after.
Grandmother Tang, overcome with grief, will also pass away within a few months, leaving this mother and son in the Chen Family.
The Clan Leader of Chen had prestige outside, but wasn't always fair within his own home.
