In particular, Third Uncle’s household expenses were heavy, and most of Gu Jinlin’s money went to supporting his family. Not like the two of them, who had no burdens.
Gu Jinhang said, “We’re different. We have no burdens. Also… we’ve gotten almost all of our parents’ money… Ahem…”
It was awkward to explain things like that. Gu Jinhang did not elaborate. After all, they were all cousins. If he said too much, Gu Jinlin might feel pressured and depressed.
Gu Jinlin did not ask. They were all adults. They had different capabilities, and he could accept that their achievements would be different.
He was just somewhat surprised to suddenly hear this. He was quite happy to hear that his cousins were so rich.
He only thought that he must work harder in the future.
Mo Beihan was so rich and had already saved so much. In two years, he would marry Yao Yao and he would certainly have even more money. On their side, they must give Yao Yao a respectable dowry.
Eldest Brother had left for the northeast, and it was already difficult for him to take care of his own family. He probably would not be able to give Yao Yao much. On their side, they could not just depend on Gu Jinhang and Gu Jinfeng!
They also needed to marry and establish their careers in the future. They certainly could not spend all their money on Yao Yao’s dowry, right?
So he must work hard. Besides that, he must write to Little Five and tell that fellow to work hard, earn more and save more, instead of just spending his money on himself.
Meanwhile, Mo Beihan was helping Jiang Yingqiu home. All the way home, she felt as though she was in a dream.
Her son was so rich?
Ten thousand yuan?
And gold?
But he had only been working for a few years?
He had built them a house and sent them food and other items, but he still had so much money?
Mo Beihan helped Jiang Yingqiu sit down. He wanted to get her some warm water. It was so cold outside, and she was in poor health. She had to warm up after a trip outside.
The moment he moved, Jiang Yingqiu grabbed his arm. “S-son, you… you’re not lying to me? Did you and Yao Yao agree to say this so as not to worry your families? Are you really that rich?”
Mo Beihan smiled and squatted down in front of Jiang Yingqiu. “Mother, don’t worry. I will take good care of you and Yao Yao. I won’t allow her to suffer.”
“Tell me, do you really have that much money?”
Mo Beihan: “…”
He had no choice but to reassure his mother. “Mother, I really have that much money. It’s with Yao Yao. If you don’t believe me, I can get it for you to see.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Yingqiu and explained, “Mother, I put the money with Yao Yao for a reason. Yao Yao is more intelligent than you think. It’s not convenient for me to bring so much money around when I’m working, so I put the money with her. Don’t worry, it’s not that I favor her. I will…”
“What nonsense are you spouting?” Jiang Yingqiu said immediately. “Yao Yao is your fiancée. Of course, you should favor her a little.”
Mo Beihan: “…”
Jiang Yingqiu earnestly lectured Mo Beihan. “Son, let me tell you something, and you had better remember this. Our family’s circumstances are unique. No matter how capable you are, no girl will want to raise so many children.
“No one ever complains of having too much money. Anyone would think that if you have the money to raise these children, you might as well use it to give your own children something better. If you want a happy future, then you have to favor her a little.
“Girls all have to be coaxed. I believe that a girl raised by the Gu family will not be so superficial. As long as you give her a good life, and we don’t make things difficult for her, Yao Yao won’t quibble with you over a bit of money, especially not when you’re so rich.
“But if you let her suffer, then things might be different!”
