That's why Lin Jianglai said that the old lady should live with the second son.
With both older brothers agreeing, Lin Huainan naturally had no objections.
“Very good, then Mother, you…”
"Your father and I have a total of over fifty taels of silver, it's all here." The old lady took out the money bag.
That's the truth.
After giving it to Aunt Chi, the old lady only had a little over fifty taels of silver left.
Originally, the elderly couple had more than one hundred taels of silver in their hands.
However, that incident made the old lady feel very sorry for her daughter, so in the dowry she made for her daughter, in addition to the three hundred taels of private money that the old man had hidden away over the decades, the old lady also added one hundred taels.
The total is four hundred taels.
The old lady's thinking was simple.
She felt that as her biological mother, her son would be filial and support her regardless of whether he had money or not.
So when her son yelled angrily and even questioned her about secretly hiding money, the old lady was bewildered.
"How could it be just this little bit of money?"
"A total of over fifty taels, does that mean that even if we support the old lady, we'll only get a dozen or so taels?"
The second son's wife quietly said, "Whether we have money or not, shouldn't we support our elderly mother-in-law?"
That's a really harsh thing to say.
As if seizing an opportunity, the eldest daughter-in-law immediately jumped up and shouted, "If that's what you're saying, then Mother can be raised by you."
The second son's wife had no objection to this.
But Lin Huaixi has a problem with it!
If he only has one son, then he must support his elderly parents.
But he has three sons, why should he support them?
So Lin Huaixi jumped out and said, "Sister-in-law, aren't you being a bit too selfish? The courtyard you bought in Dongyang County cost you at least two hundred taels of silver, right? The old couple paid for more than half of it!"
"If that's the case, then the third son has been married twice, and both times his parents paid for it. Did they actually benefit from it?"
Almost instantly, the brothers and their wives started arguing, all saying that the other side had gotten the better deal.
No one noticed that the old woman was trembling with anger, and later clutched her chest, unable to speak due to the pain...
With a "thump!"
The old lady fell headfirst to the ground, like a scrambled egg.
