The eldest of Song Xiuling's offspring had already passed the age of thirty and had married and had children, but living off the older generation was the norm for them. Even if they had jobs, they would still reach out to Song Xiuling for money, claiming what they earned wasn't enough to cover their expenses.
In plain terms, they simply did not want to leave anything to their siblings. They aimed to take whatever they could get while they still could.
It truly ran in the family.
To the two brothers, Song Xiufeng, Song Xiuling's assets were negligible, but to his comparatively less accomplished children, they were a fortune.
Song Mingyue, who was unmarried, was waiting for her dowry and naturally did not wish for Song Xiuling to lose everything.
