Ms.Qian, who was about to pour all the money together, paused when she heard this. She furrowed her brows in thought, glancing at the private savings Zhou Dalang had handed over. She then took the same amount from Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang before returning the rest to them, saying, "Keep it for yourselves. Times are hard for the family; we can't combine all the money. Five is right. When it's time for you to discuss marriage, if the family has money, we will naturally provide for you. If not, you'll have to use your own savings as a stopgap, and we'll repay you when the family has the means. So, it's important that you have your own savings."
She said, "Your eldest brother, second brother, and third brother all had their weddings funded by the family. Your fourth brother's wedding used money from your eldest sister, which our family will repay. Naturally, the same will apply to you when you marry."
