?Chapter 348: Chapter 347: Picking a Quarrel Chapter 348: Chapter 347: Picking a Quarrel Hu Laowu sneered, “The old man is right, raising sons to guard against old age. You have your eldest son back, and another at home. Your two sons should ideally care for you in your old age. My older brother’s family should no longer have to provide living for you.”
Wang Laohan was in a panic, cried out, “That won’t do!”
Hu Laowu huffed, “You mentioned raising sons to fend off old age. Your sons should thus take care of you. Once your daughter is married, she becomes part of another family.”
Luo Yuan also added, “Uncle Wang’s monthly army stipend is only one or two taels of silver. He needs to take care of his wife and children. Even so, he can give you at most, 200 cents a month.”
Wang Laohan disbelievingly retorted, “What? Wang Cheng only gets one or two taels of silver a month?”
Wang Cheng coldly replied, “I’m just a stable boy. It’s due to my age and officer’s consideration that I receive such an army stipend. Other soldiers can’t even get as much as I do. If you don’t believe me, go ask the army yourself.”
Wang Laohan considered if he accepted Wang Cheng’s pension, his daughter may indeed abandon him. How could 200 cents compare to two taels of silver? He immediately burst into tears and said, “I didn’t come here to ask Cheng for money. He is having a hard time, so he doesn’t need to give me any. I just came to see him. I’ve missed him for more than twenty years, and finally got to see him today.”
