The two of them walked to one side of the temple gate, standing behind a large tree. Jiang Youzhi took out a silver note worth one hundred taels from his bosom and handed it to Jiang Hua, "This silver is the pension for Grandpa, please give it to him on my behalf when you return."
Jiang Hua was taken aback, "This, this, didn’t you already give two hundred taels to Second Brother?"
Jiang Youzhi did not respond to this, and took out another silver note worth one hundred taels and handed it to Jiang Hua, "You keep this one hundred taels, and every year during Qingming, rember to buy so incense, candles, and joss paper to burn for my father and elder brother. Also, during festivals, don’t forget to pour them a cup of wine."
Jiang Hua held the silver note, his face flushing red.
This year’s Qingming, he didn’t take care of his elder brother’s grave. He hurriedly pushed the silver note back, "This is not necessary. I can afford this amount of money, and it doesn’t need that much anyway."
Jiang Youzhi thought to himself, Third Uncle has really changed.
There was even a ti when a silver note would be pushed back.
He pushed the silver note back, "Third Uncle, just take it, this silver is my responsibility."
Seeing Jiang Hua seemingly ashad to tears, he thought for a mont, then took out another silver note and stuffed it into Jiang Hua’s hand, "This silver is for Wulang and Qi Lang."
"If they want to study, let them study. If not, they can learn a craft."
He paused, "They are still young and need to grow. At ho, don’t be too stingy, have a al with at every two or three days."
Holding the three silver notes, Jiang Hua suddenly squatted on the ground and started crying bitterly.
Thinking of the day when San Lang left ho, he, Second Brother, and the old man stopped him from leaving, even forcing him to write an IOU.
How could they have done such a thing!
San Lang, such a loyal and righteous person, why didn’t they treat him well before?
They were wrong, truly wrong.
He wasn’t crying over these three hundred taels.
It was for San Lang still caring about his two younger brothers’ education, still caring about letting them eat at.
He had done nothing for San Lang, taking this silver made him feel guilty!
Jiang Youzhi probably understood why Third Uncle was crying, he could only stand quietly by his side until he finished crying.
After a long while, Jiang Hua stood up and wiped his tears, Jiang Youzhi added, "When Third Uncle goes back, tell Grandpa, Liu Lang is now both studying and practicing martial arts, and San Ya also has a female tutor teaching her."
"In the future, regarding Liu Lang’s future and San Ya’s dowry, I will take care of it."
"As for my mother, I will also take care of her in her old age and see her off, so Grandpa doesn’t have to worry."
Jiang Hua nodded with red eyes, "You are a good child, it is our Jiang Family that has wronged you."
"From now on, take good care of yourself."
"In the future, if you pass the imperial exam, send soone back to tell us."
He finished speaking and waved his hands repeatedly, "We an nothing by it, we don’t want to bask in your glory, just want to share in the joy."
Jiang Youzhi nodded, "It’s getting late, Third Uncle, you better get on the road."
Jiang Hua bowed to him, and then walked out and got into the carriage.
The two carriages, one in front and one behind, gradually moved away along the official road.
When the carriage arrived at Qingshan Village, because Jiang Rong’s body had been left for so long, the sll was already strong. The family only laid it to rest for one night, and hurriedly buried it the next day.
After the funeral, Jiang Hua said to the old man, "Father, Second Brother’s affairs are also settled now, and I have so silver here. I must be clear with Si Lang and Second Sister-in-law to avoid confusion in the future."
The old man nodded, "Then let them co over."
Jiang Hua thought for a mont, "Wulang and Qi Lang are also grown now, they should also listen to the family matters."
The old man nodded again.
