Hearing Lao Yang’s question, Tan immediately became nervous.

“What do you mean? Our little nest egg can't be touched. I still need it for my son, Gou Dan, and Mei Er!” Tan said.

Old Yang said, "Let it go, Mei'er. She's still from the Wang family after all, and it's up to the Wang family to take care of her."

Besides, we've been helping her out in secret for years. It's about time to stop.

Tan said, "That won't do either. I have to leave some for my dog Dan and Yongxian's grandson. Yongxian hasn't married a wife yet!"

Lao Yang shook his head impatiently. "Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense,"

"We have to come up with some money, even if we're upset. We can't really let the fourth brother go to jail."

>

"The fourth brother went to jail, and the fourth household collapsed. Gou Dan also lost his father, this can't go on!"

Old Yang said, stretching out his hand to take Dogdan, so that Tan could go find the money.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Tan reluctantly got up. Though blind, she moved with practiced ease to the wardrobe.

She rustled about and pulled out a key from her person. She unlocked the iron latch on the cabinet with it, then retrieved a vanity box from inside and carried it back to the bed.

Old Yang's eyes lit up as he looked at the dressing box. He felt a sense of familiarity.

Fifty years ago when they got married, he made it for her with his own hands. After so many years, she has kept it all this time.

Lao Yang looked at Tan, whose hair was already white and her face lined with wrinkles, feeling a thousand emotions in his heart.

"All of our savings are here, I can't see well, so you count how many there are." Tan said.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

On holidays and festivals, as well as on ordinary days, the money that her grandchildren showed filial piety with, whether it was silver coins or copper coins, she put them all in this box.

Old Yang held the puppy, Dogdan, in one hand. He wanted to use his other hand to count the money, but the little grandson was too mischievous and wouldn't let him.

Seeing the clinking and clanking things in the box, he also curiously stretched out his little chubby hand to grab them, but Lao Yang grabbed his little chubby hand.

"This money is the dirtiest, who knows how many people have touched it. Little children can't touch it!" The old man smiled lovingly at his grandson in his arms.

“I'm going to hold Dog Egg, you just count the money. Be quick about it, if Liu shi sees us later, we’ll be in trouble.”

>

Tan said, reaching out to take the puppy and then chewing a soybean to feed it.

"Third sister-in-law, fifth younger sister, Qing'er, you guys guess how much our old man and old woman have saved up these years!"

The next morning, Liu rushed to Yang Huazhong's backyard to gossip with Sun.

Just as Bao Suyun happened to come over to deliver vegetables, Yang Ruqing came over to play, they all arrived at the same time.

"How much wealth do you have?" Bao Suyun asked.

Liu raised two fingers and gestured. Please note that "<<<>>>" itself is not a recognized code or term for translation. If you meant something else, please provide more context.

"Twenty taels of silver?" Bao Suyun asked.

Liu said, “110 taels!”

"Fourth Aunt, since it's a hundred and ten taels, why did you raise two fingers?" Yang Ruqing rolled her eyes and asked.

Liu Shi fiddled with her two fingers and continued, "Look here, this is one hundred, this is ten. Two fingers standing together aren't they two ones, one hundred and ten silver taels!"

Yang Ruohui had a black line on her head.

The aunt's this is a level of skill, even without helping to prop up the wall she yields to her!

"Hey, don't fuss over my fingers! Why aren't you surprised at all by Old Mrs. Liu's wealth?" Liu continued to ask.

>

"One hundred and ten taels? That's so much money, my goodness, I've never seen so much money before! How did this old couple get so rich?" Liu exclaimed in astonishment.

Yang Ruqing said, "Fourth Aunt, how did you know my grandmother had so much money?"

Liu said, “I saw it with my own eyes, and I even heard them say they were going to take money out to help your fourth uncle plug the hole!”

“What?” Yang Ruqing raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Those in the know, Sun Shi and Bao Suyun, also exchanged glances. Surprise was evident in their eyes as well.

Liu continued, "Yesterday, if it weren't for your fourth uncle arguing with that fox spirit, I wouldn't have known. Turns out he used one hundred taels of silver from the tavern to buy a house in the county town!"

"He secretly bought a house and didn't tell us. He obviously wants to leave us behind, taking the fox spirit and her offspring to live a good life in the county town."

"Tsk, so the jig is up, isn't it? Serves you right!"

The moment Liu Shi thought about yesterday, when she saw the usually arrogant fox spirit slapped to the ground by Yang Huaming and hit her forehead against the wall, a lump forming on it, she couldn't help but feel happy and excited.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, you mean Fourth Brother should also contribute money to cover the tavern's debt?" Sun Shi pulled Liu Shi and asked.

Liu nodded: "What I overheard should be like this. When Yang Huaming, that damn bastard, heard he was going to jail, he peed his pants in fear. Serves him right, haha!"

Seeing Liu's carefree laughter, Sun and Yang Ruqing and the others didn't know what to say.

So, I had to change the subject.

“My grandmother has managed to save a hundred taels of silver over the years. After all, they don't spend much.” Yang Ruoqing said.

Every year, for twelve months, I eat with a different son's family each month.

The eldest son, Yang Yong'an, had long since passed away, but when it was the eldest son's turn, it was Zhao Liuer and Yang Yongzhi who served.

Then Yang Yongxian and Yang Yongjin paid the money.

Yang Yongqing is a man who neither spends nor contributes. Since his wife, Yu Jinguì, put a big green hat on him two years ago and divorced him, Yang Yongqing has been immersed in the world of widowhood, living a confused and aimless life.

>

Yang Yongjin couldn't stand it any longer, so he took him to the county town's restaurant and wanted him to be a waiter, doing something honest.

If he saves enough money, if he can't find a wife in the nearby villages, at least he could buy a pretty maid from a human trafficker to bear him children.

But Yang Yongqing was not ambitious. After working as a clerk for a short while, he ran away, saying he was going to another place to try his luck. He never came back after that, and his family didn't know where to find him.

>

Perhaps everyone thinks he is a man, even if he runs out, he is not afraid of being bothered, so there is not too much attention.

Alright, let's get back to Lao Yangtou and Tan Shi's issue.

>

Yang Ruqing continued, "Grandmother's meals, bathing, and other daily needs are all taken care of by us rotating families. Her clothes and shoes are also changed with the seasons."

"Just a slight headache and fever, the doctor's fees are shared by everyone. We've never made the two of them pay a single cent."

During festivals and holidays, we all exchange gifts and red envelopes. Over the years, it's not surprising to have accumulated so much money.

There's one more thing Yang Ruqing hasn't mentioned, which is that Tan Shi and Lao Yang Tou would often sell those received gifts to street peddlers, then exchange them for money to keep.

Very business-minded!

“They secretly gave a lot of silver to Meili’s place!” Liu Shi added.

"Oh, none of us are truly cherished by them. They wouldn't even think of us when there's something sweet to be had. It's infuriating how people compare themselves to others!"

Liu shi pouted, her face contorted with displeasure.

To this, Sun's and Bao Suyun's two daughters-in-law just glanced at each other, smiling helplessly, but there wasn't too much resentment.
