Chapter 241 -240: Leave Some Money
“It’s actually candy from abroad; Brother Yu is really impressive,” Zhiwu said as he grabbed a piece of chocolate and bit into it.
At first, the slightly bitter taste made his little face wrinkle, and just as he was about to spit it out, he tasted the rich aroma.
A look of amazement appeared on his face, “This chocolate is really delicious. I didn’t expect it to be so ugly yet taste so good.”
The girls cherished it even more, nibbling on it bit by bit.
Zhaodi, however, looked at the exquisitely wrapped chocolate in her hand and couldn’t help but feel a slight sourness in her heart.
She had certainly eaten chocolate before, but it wasn’t this kind of expensive foreign brand chocolate.
Even in her previous life when she was able to make her own money, she never indulged in such expensive treats.
It was unexpected that Mr. Yu had sent so many to San Ya, enough for her to be willing to share.
Moreover, when San Ya was taking out the snacks earlier, she saw that the treats in the cupboard were nearly piling up into a small mountain.
Truthfully, she was really envious of San Ya’s good fortune, but she also knew that envy was futile; she had to rely on herself to have the life she wanted!
Jiang Mianmian, fearing they would get thirsty from too many snacks, made each of them a bowl of milk essence.
“Wow, milk essence!”
Zhiwu ran over excitedly, picked up a bowl, and took a sip: “Ah, hot, hot!”
Ever since Jiang Changhai bought the milk essence, the old lady would occasionally ask him for a bowl, claiming it was for herself, when actually she secretly shared it with her two grandsons.
Jiang Changhai fulfilled his filial duties and didn’t mind whom the old lady shared it with.
Seeing this, Jiang Mianmian said: “Second brother, what’s the rush? I’ve just made it; it needs to cool down for a while.”
“Hehe, I can’t wait for it to cool down,” Zhiwu grinned at her foolishly, continuing to slurp while sticking out his tongue, exclaiming how hot it was.
He had always been impatient since he was little, always wanting to stuff any delicacy into his mouth at the first chance.
Learning from Zhiwu’s lesson, the other children blew on their bowls before taking a small sip, feeling that this New Year’s Eve was the happiest and most blissful one they had ever had.
The Jiang Family children were feasting in Jiang Mianmian’s room, while the adults were calculating this year’s accounts in the main house.
After tallying up the labor points earned by the Third Branch this year, Jiang Dashan took a couple of puffs from his old tobacco pipe and, after exhaling a ring of smoke, said: “Eldest, second brother, Laosan, I’ve been thinking, starting from this year, each of your branches must hand over the same amount of labor points to the family every year, with adjustments made for any surplus or deficit.”
After all, his sons were not young anymore, each had their own small families and children to provide for; he could not hold onto their earnings like before, keeping all the labor points in his own hands.
Allowing them to keep some money in their hands would make them feel more at ease, otherwise, over time, his sons would surely drift apart from him.
Zhang Guihua sat on the kang bed, her face sullen, feeling very displeased inside.
She thought that the old man’s new rule meant giving away the money in her hands to the sons, something she, who valued money as dear as life itself, could hardly delight in.
But Jiang Dashan was the head of the household; even if she disagreed, there was nothing she could do.
She also understood that her sons, now grown up, all had their own little schemes. Hadn’t the Eldest been planning to split the family property just before?
She hoped the old man’s method would be effective; she certainly did not want the family to split.

“Okay, I have no objections,” as the Eldest, Jiang Changhai was naturally the first to express his stance.
He didn’t care; after all, next spring, his family was moving to live in the town.
The second branch couple was even more delighted: “We also have no objections.”
Although their family had more children and consumed more, in the past two years as the girls grew older, they became capable of doing more work.
