Lady Fang and the others returned to the small courtyard, still somewhat dazed. It wasn't that she hadn't thought about it, sometimes she did wonder, the dowry brought by her eldest sister-in-law had already disappeared in the first few years after she married into the family. Over the years, she had managed to save a little private stash, never expecting it to be so much.
Si Ya complained with some indignation, "We haven't saved anything!"
"Money isn't saved, it's earned!" Pei Qin gave her a look and went into the kitchen to see what there was to eat for the evening.
Si Ya grumbled discontentedly, "If we could save, we would have saved quite a bit by now. All spent, now there's not a penny left to save! Auntie has still saved up so much silver!"
San Ya glanced at her and then at Pei Qin entering the kitchen, "Then let's start saving money too! If we earn money, saving will be faster." The eldest sister had said that they needed to think of other ways to make a lump sum.
