Joey spoke without any hesitation.
Although Leighins manages a decent tobacco field business, the amount of gold coins he actually receives is limited, after all, he's just a lowly employee.
This was also the conclusion he reached during his eight days of mining. If the Cartel's smelting furnace hadn't been too small to keep up with their mining speed, smelting a thousand gold coins in a month wouldn't have been a problem at all.

Joey can already understand the joys of being rich!
Of course, he believed that Leigh was also very happy at that moment!
