Tong Xingda and Tong Tiehu said that everyone had their own private money. This didn't include her and Tong Er Lang.
The small amount of silver that Tong Er Lang had saved was given to her once they got married.
Her family was not well-off, and she had to supplement them from time to time. Besides, she enjoyed good food and clothing, and always felt embarrassed to ask Tong Tiehu for money. Therefore, she had spent most of the private money that Tong Er Lang had saved since childhood.
If everyone was to pool money to buy the field, she couldn't contribute.
"Exactly, dad, who will pay for the field?" Zhang Family heard, and vigorously nodded their head.
Previously, the family had both a farm and a store, with plenty of income, so small sums of money didn't matter at all.
But now that the family was in this state, the silver on hand needed to be carefully spent.
