"They're worried their grandfather will deduct their allowances and find chores for them to do. In this family other than for my eldest and second brothers, the rest, aside from me slacking off, receive allowances from our eldest brother, Xia Feng gets a specific living stipend for his studies, the others either hold a position in the company or run their own businesses, but they don't earn much each month, the family gives them more or less of an allowance."
"If Grandfather speaks up, their allowances might be deducted or stopped." Xia Xi explained in a low voice.
"No wonder they gave me a card." Xia Xi finally remembered that since she came back, the family indeed provided her with a bank card, but she always used her old card for daily expenses and didn't bother much about the card given by her family.
"Anyway, I've been living off an allowance from my brother since I graduated and didn't start working." Xia Yue laughed as she spoke.
