While setting out the meal, Dongcao said to Linlang: "Auntie, your family has sent you a letter. My servant just brought it from the concierge."
Then he took out a letter and handed it to Linlang.
Linlang did not take it apart and look at it immediately, but said: "Let's eat first, and then talk about it after eating."
Dong Cao saw that Linlang was not like before, so he picked it up and looked at it immediately. He was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything and immediately ate with Linlong.
The meals are all served in portions. You eat yours and I eat mine. The meal sharing system is quite clean and hygienic.
——The quality of the food is quite average. Although she is a concubine, the food is slightly better than Dongcao's, but in Linlang's opinion, it is still quite average. Linlang thought, she must find a way to live a better life in the future, otherwise she will continue to eat. It's all so bad, that's not what she wants to see.
It was normal for Linlang not to read the letter immediately like the original person did, because she knew that most of what the Fang family would say in the letter was nothing more than to say that something happened at home and they needed money. If it doesn't work, just tell her that the family is short of money and ask her to give her money.
Since the village where he originally lived had put his children up for sale and wanted to send them to noble houses with better conditions, the purpose was to wait for them to become rich and take care of the family in the future, so blood sucking was a must of.
As a son, it may be better, you can still hold the money in your own hands, save the money, and go home to find a wife in the future.
Daughters are miserable. Many of them become the devil of supporting the family. Needless to say, before getting married, all the monthly money is sent home. Even if you get married, your natal family will still continue. Blood-sucking is quite common in the original village.
In fact, it’s normal. Even in modern society, there are still many people who support their younger brothers and their elder brothers, let alone this era.
So although the original person had a monthly allowance of two taels of silver, and the government made clothes and jewelry every year, many of them were sent home by her, and she had nothing left.
Now that Linlang is here, naturally he won’t give away a penny. It’s a good thing that he didn’t find those people to get back what he had given him before.
Don't tell her anything about taking care of herself in old age. I'm sorry, in this era, married daughters are just thrown away. Provision for old age is the responsibility of the men in the family, not the girls.
Give all your property to your son, and look for your daughter to support you in old age. This kind of thing is not easy to do in this era. , because there is no way for girls to take care of themselves in this era, so they have no choice but to sell themselves miserably, and the original PUA pays them, and the original owner ignores them. This is much more convenient than modern times, so now that Linlang is here, she ignores them. They didn't give them a penny, and there was nothing the Fang family could do.
Of course, since I entered the family at the age of ten and am now in my early twenties, the things I have given to my mother-in-law's family during these ten years have already been enough if converted into modern pension.
After all, how much money did the Fang family spend to raise the original body until he was ten years old? In the past ten years, the original body has given the family more than a hundred taels of silver. Such a lot of money is not early retirement money. Have you given enough? After all, money is very valuable in this world.
After dinner, Linlang opened the letter from her mother's family. The letter was indeed about asking for money. She said that her eldest brother was getting married and was short of money. She asked her to contribute a little to the family, but not much. , just give me ten liang.
Ten taels is not much, bah, the original person only earns 20 taels a month, and has no other income. Ten taels is almost half a year's income, which is not much.
And after half a year, my parents’ family will soon have a new place to spend money, and they will come to ask for money. Anyway, I just calculated how much money I could make in a year in the palace and took it all away.
When the original brother got married, the original person gave him thirty taels of silver. Now it is the turn of the original brother, and he probably wants this much.
According to the original memory, there were four men in the original family. In addition to the eldest brother, there were also second and third brothers. In other words, just these three brothers who had not yet asked for a wife, Linlang had to Prepare ninety taels of silver.
She has these ninety taels of silver. What can she buy for herself and give to them? Unless she's out of her mind.
So Linlang immediately read the letter and ignored it.
Anyway, the Fang family couldn't rush into the palace to make trouble, so she ignored them and wasn't afraid that they would rush into her place and make trouble with her. Unlike in modern society, some old men gave their property to their sons and asked their daughters to provide for them in old age, but the pension money given by their daughters was too little. , they are not satisfied, and they can even rush to the place where their daughter lives and works to make trouble. She is now in the palace, they can't come in, and they can't make trouble. She is very safe. What are you afraid of them? They like to write letters, so just write them. .
Dongcao saw that after Linlang read the letter, she didn’t mention the money. She just thought that the Fang family’s letter this time was not asking for money. She immediately smiled and said: “It’s strange. I thought your mother’s family was asking for money again. Money, isn’t it this time?”
Linlang showed the letter to her and said: “ What’s wrong is that I have a son now, and I have to think about my own son and save some money for him, so I don’t care so much about my mother’s family’s affairs.”
It’s hard for her to say that she doesn’t care at all. I didn't want to be taken advantage of, so I just gave the reason for rejection that was reasonable in this era.
After all, in this era, as a mother, she no longer uses money to subsidize her natal family and save money for her son. This is normal and reasonable. It is much more upright than saying that she does not want to give money to her natal family.
After listening to Linlang's words, Dongcao hurriedly said: "My aunt is right to think so, but I was a servant before, so it's not easy to persuade my aunt."

Actually, Dongcao had been secretly shaking his head and sighing when he saw the original person sending money home.
Linlang had been watching Dongcao take the letter from the concierge in Little Bee before, and kept shaking her head, saying that the money in her aunt's hands was going to be gone again, so she knew that Dongcao also disapproved of her sending the money home. of.
At this moment, Linlang listened to Dongcao's words, nodded, and said: "I must think about the situation I am in now. After all, I have fallen out of favor, and my status may be gone. Just those few dollars should be sent back to the parents' family. When the children grow up, other children will have money from their mothers and concubines, but my children will not. How can that happen? Don't you blame me as a mother who doesn't know how to run a business? I have been in the government for many years and have no self-esteem at all? When the time comes, I will have no self-esteem at all. When the prince is a hundred years from now, my son and I will live in the house. I have no money, so I have to rely on my son to support me. , I don’t say that I feel sorry, I just say that I don’t have any money at hand, and it’s not good to have to look at the faces of my son and daughter-in-law.”
After hearing this, Dongcao clapped her hands and said, "That's exactly the truth! Thanks to my aunt for figuring it out!"
The clan has a salary, but a concubine of the clan like the original person does not have a salary. When the time comes to leave the mansion, After losing the monthly money given to concubine Ji by the house, if she no longer has a body, she will have to rely on her son to live.
Many people in modern times cannot accept spending their son's money and are dissatisfied with their parents. What's more, in this era, life is definitely based on people's faces.
So I am really not very smart. I don’t keep the money in my own hands and give it all to my parents’ family. It is too stupid. (End of this chapter)
