Chapter 1856 - 1858

"Really?" Yangyang scratched his head, quietly sighing that mom’s worries weren’t unfounded, at least he’s the kind of person with sneaky thoughts.

Lele’s face turned dark upon hearing this, thinking, mom is precisely wary of you, you know?

"Little brother, in the future, keep your thoughts to yourself, don’t say them out loud, got it?"

Upon hearing this, Yangyang immediately covered his face with both hands, realizing how foolish he was to again speak out his innermost thoughts.

"I got it." Yangyang ruefully replied, "Thank goodness mom didn’t hear it, sigh!"

"But mom really is amazing." Lele said as he pulled him along, "Even though mom doesn’t deal in the fur business, she knows so much. I never thought of classifying the furs to sell them."

"Mom is amazing." Yangyang said with pride on his little face, "Daddy said most of our family wealth was earned by mom. He also said if it weren’t for mom, we’d be eating grass, dreaming of eating meat."

"Daddy exaggerated a bit." Lele squeezed their clasped hands and said, "Daddy has his academic achievements. If mom didn’t do business, we’d at most not eat or dress well, but eating grass everyday would be impossible."

"You’re quite clear about this." Ye Zi’an was standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall courtyard, attentively listening to the two children’s conversation.

"Dad!"

"Daddy!"

The two stepped forward, each holding onto Ye Zi’an, "Dad, what are you doing here?"

"Naturally, I’m waiting for you." Ye Zi’an said as he pulled them along, "Let’s go back to eat first, and then you can go admit your mistake to your mom."

"Okay, I understand." Lele nodded.

Ye Zi’an looked at him again and said, "Your mom and I aren’t stopping you from doing business, but you cannot pawn or mortgage family belongings anymore, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Doing business isn’t that simple." Ye Zi’an continued, "Every business is a field of knowledge. You’ve succeeded these two times because you’re bold and lucky, but if you really want to do well and make money, you can’t just rely on those. Business has risks, it’s not guaranteed profit. If you really want to do something, you should learn well from your mom."

"Mhm, dad, I understand, I’ve thought it through."

With that, they arrived at the Bamboo Courtyard, where Yang Chuxia stood waiting for the three of them.

"Mom!" Lele ran up first, "Mom, I know I was wrong!"

"Okay, let’s talk inside."

Once inside, Yang Chuxia had Ming Lan bring in the food, "Eat first, we can talk afterwards!"

Lele ate quickly. Seeing how hurried he was, Yang Chuxia shook her head and served him some soup, "Eat slowly, what’s the rush."

"Thank you, mom."

After he finished eating, Yang Chuxia pulled him aside.

"Mom! I won’t use the family’s things to exchange for silver again."

"Those things are given by your dad and mom, actually, if you pawn or mortgage them, there’s no strict prohibition. They’re yours, you have the right to deal with them." Yang Chuxia explained, "But you’re still young now, your judgment is weak. Although you’re clever, there are many others smarter than you. What if someone sets a trap to deceive you?"

"So mom, does that mean when I grow up, if I want to do something, and if I don’t have enough money, I can use those things?"

"That’s one way to look at it." Yang Chuxia nodded, "There’s also the concern that your younger siblings might follow your example. People can be deceitful, you can’t always expect no one to notice when you take things out, what if someone plots to trick you guys? Even if you don’t get deceived, what about your siblings?"
