章節 24: Chapter 23 New Clothes

Mrs. Chen was shrewd, and she realized that even if her eldest son did not demand payment, Mrs. Hu would still find a way to covertly take it. If that were the case, her second son would not be saving any money, her eldest son would think he was helping his brother, but actually Mrs. Hu would be the one benefiting. She said, "I agree with Second son, even brothers should settle accounts clearly. It is good to help, but the required workers' wages should still be paid."

Chen Ming added, "We still have four strings of cash left from selling the land, which should be enough to repair the house. If big brother keeps helping us for free, the younger brother would feel embarrassed asking for help in the future."
