Chapter 558: Ye Family Separation
"You still have the nerve to say that? If you did more work around the house on a regular basis, we wouldn't be in such dire straits." Ye Pozi couldn't help muttering.
Ye Dejiang frowned, "I've been making some pottery at home and earning some silver. Isn't that enough to make a living?"
Ye Muyu thought to herself that Ye Dejiang did indeed make some pottery to sell every month, but the quantity wasn't large and the money he earned was only two or three hundred wen, just enough to barely make ends meet for the family.
Of course, this was on the condition that they didn't buy pork, chicken, duck, or fish.
"Never mind, I won't say anything in front of the children." Ye Pozi was already accustomed to her husband's habits of laziness and reluctance to work. But he still managed to bring in some money every month, barely enough to get by.
She was used to being independent and they each earned their own money. Ye Dejiang had never asked her for money and they basically used what they had. Their lives were very simple. Apart from being lazy, he didn't have any bad habits.
It was still better than those men in the village who were lazy, liked gambling, and abused their wives.
"Mother, from now on, I will give you a monthly allowance of one or two taels of silver." Ye Zhao spoke up directly. "That should be enough for basic living expenses. If there are any other major expenses, write to me about it."
"Eldest brother, you're married now too. When I disappeared before, we didn't have time to separate the family. So let's take the opportunity to do it now. In the future, I will definitely be stationed at Luoping Pass most of the time and rarely come back."
"If you have any difficulties in the future, you can also ask me for help. But for your own daily life, you'll have to rely on yourself. You're also going to be a father soon, so you should understand this principle."
Ye Zhaoming was used to it. After all, Ye Zhao had been missing for six years, and he had become accustomed to doing things on his own.
And he wasn't idle now. Apart from delivering pickled vegetables to the county, he also found some odd jobs in the county. He could earn a few hundred wen a month.
Plus, his wife, Su Shi, also made some silver from making pickled vegetables. With some savings at home, he planned to buy some land first and then consider other things.
"Big brother, I understand. Don't worry." Ye Zhaoming took a couple of mouthfuls of rice and said.
Ye Pozi felt a bit sad and said hesitantly, "Do we really have to separate?"
She didn't want her eldest son to take care of her youngest son, she just felt that after they separated, Ye Zhao would go to such a distant place again and they might not be able to see each other in the future.
If they didn't separate, she felt that they were still one family and wouldn't be separated no matter what.
Ye Zhao, who hadn't recovered his memory, actually didn't have deep feelings for the Ye family. Hearing this, he analyzed seriously, "Mother, it's better to separate. When I'm at Luoping Pass, there are some counties nearby. The soldiers will buy land nearby once they have money. It'll be much more convenient to have a separate account, so there's no need to run back and forth between two places. After all, the distance between the two places is quite far."
"I... I understand. Let's separate then. Sooner or later, we'll have to." Ye Pozi's mood was a bit low. She knew these reasons, but she still felt lost.
Soon, she sorted out her emotions and put on a smile, saying, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat."
After that, Ye Zhao toasted Chu Heng again.
Ye Muyu also had a share, but Chu Heng grabbed her wine glass and replaced it with a teacup.
Ye Muyu didn't mind and picked up the teacup to drink.
Ye Zhao noticed this detail and glanced at Chu Heng more, realizing that his brother-in-law was really good to his sister.
Afterwards, Ye Zhao toasted Ye Zhaoming and his wife.
Ye Zhaoming swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Brother, there's no need for such formality. I'm done drinking. You should eat quickly, or I'll finish everything."
