Zhao Mingzhu asked, "What did Zhao Lin take with him when he left?"
Butler Fang said, "Only one set of clothes."
Zhao Mingyu angrily said, "You slave, you're talking nonsense. He only brought one set of clothes. Why is there nothing here? Did you take it away?"
"This..." Butler Fang looked at the two sisters in embarrassment.
Zhao Mingzhu said, "Just say whatever you want to say."
Steward Fang then sighed and said, "Miss, you don't come home often, so you don't know about Young Master Lin's situation. We servants can't say anything too much. Young Master Lin only has two sets of clothes, which Madam had made when he first came home. She hasn't bought any more since then."
Zhao Mingzhu and Zhao Mingyu both widened their eyes and looked at Butler Fang in disbelief.
Zhao Mingyu said, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You servants have clothes for all seasons, so there's no way he doesn't have any. Even if mother doesn't buy them for him, won't he buy them himself?"
Butler Fang gave a wry smile and said, "May I ask Miss Fourth, do you know how much Young Master Lin earns every month?"
"How many?"
"No! Not a penny!"
"impossible!"
This time, Zhao Mingzhu and Zhao Mingyu shouted at the same time.
Butler Fang said, "If you two ladies don't believe me, you can ask Madam. Young Master Lin has to secretly do odd jobs every month to earn some pocket money. You probably didn't notice that Young Master Lin's clothes are all patched up. He borrowed needlework from the cook."
"how so?"
Zhao Mingzhu was very puzzled.
Han Yuehua gave birth to five daughters before she had this son. She almost died when her son was lost. This shows how important this son is in her heart.
But why treat him like this?
You don’t even give him a penny of monthly salary, so why did you ask him to come back in the first place?
You know, the sisters all receive twenty taels of silver per month. Although their adopted son Zhao Chenhan gets the same allowance as them, Han Yuehua often subsidizes him to support him in going out and socializing with others, and his expenses are at least one hundred taels of silver per month.
On the other hand, Zhao Lin, his own son, doesn’t have a penny?
Zhao Mingzhu pulled Zhao Mingyu back to the hall in a hurry.
Han Yuehua was already drinking tea with her daughters serving her.
"Where did the rebellious son go?"
Seeing her two daughters come back, Han Yuehua immediately asked.
Zhao Mingzhu didn't rush to answer, but asked, "Mom, how much do you give Zhao Lin every month?"
Han Yuehua was stunned and asked unhappily, "Why are you asking this?"
Zhao Mingzhu asked, "Why don't you give him monthly allowance?"
"What? Zhao Lin doesn't have monthly allowance?"
Zhao Mingyue and other girls were also stunned when they heard it.
Han Yuehua was angered by Zhao Mingzhu's questioning and said angrily, "Not giving him monthly allowance is for his own good. Haven't you heard that men become bad when they have money? His character is so bad that he dares to do whatever he wants when he has money. Who knows what he will do when he has money? How can he not visit brothels and go to gambling houses? Giving him money is harming him!"
Zhao Mingzhu asked, "Then why did you give Chen Han so much?"
Han Yuehua said as a matter of course: "Chenhan is different from him. Chenhan is so well-behaved, we don't need to worry about him. Besides, doesn't it cost money to attend banquets and make friends? But the rebellious son is different. His family provides him with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he has no friends, so why does he need money?"
