My Princess Holds Superpowers

Chapter 51: With economic power in hand, there is nothing to fear.

With so much Silver suddenly at hand, excitement truly stirred in people’s hearts, and even Ye Old Man’s stride seemed to catch a breeze.

After Ye Old Man had left, Ye Jiu urged Madam He, “Mother, if you keep confronting Father like this, and he gets snared away by the Li family’s woman, you might regret it when the time comes.”

What Ye Jiu wanted most was to sweep out Mrs. Li or at least have her mother and daughter move out, so they’d stop being an eyesore in the house.

However, Madam He disagreed, and in this era where mistresses were legally recognized, Ye Jiu truly felt helpless.

But Madam He didn’t take it to heart at all, “If he dares, back when that little wretch Ye Erya was around he swore to me, if he ever gets tricked away by the Li family again, regardless of whose fault it is, they’ll both be thrown out immediately. If he, a Ye, is not afraid to leave and face the cold northwest winds, he can go ahead and get heavily involved with Mrs. Li.”

Madam He had full control over the Ye Family’s finances, after all, and was not afraid.

Madam He took the two large silver ingots in her hand, along with the fifty-tael silver note that Ye Old Man had left on the kang, locked them all in a wooden chest for money, and then placed it in the cupboard and locked it before she felt at ease.

Taking the remaining five taels of Silver on the table, Madam He placed them in Ye Jiu’s hand, “My precious child, although you are still young, it’s fine to start learning how to manage your own money. You keep these five taels of Silver along with what you already have on you, and if you want to buy something, have your Fourth Brother buy it for you. Don’t hesitate to spend the money you’ve earned yourself; otherwise, you never know which little brat might end up benefiting from it!”

“Thank you, Mother.” Ye Jiu indeed needed some silver money, and with Madam He willing to give it, she joyfully accepted it. Then, hugging Madam He’s arm, she cooed, “Mother, you are the person who loves me the most in this world, and I will surely love you the most in return.”

Sweet words cost nothing to say, and filled Madam He’s heart with joy, as if she could almost take out her heart and give it to her precious child.

Excluding what they had eaten on the road, there were fifteen steamed buns left in total. Ye Old Man and Madam He each had one meat bun, and since Ye Gaosheng and Ye Wenqing had already eaten at noon, there was none left for them. The remaining three were just enough for the other three grandsons of the Ye Family.

However, there were still ten vegetarian buns left, and after everyone had received their share, five were kept by Madam He under the pretense that Ye Jiu had earned the money, and since so much of it had already been used to supplement the household, these buns naturally shouldn’t shortchange Ye Jiu either.

Madam He was not someone who did good deeds anonymously. Before dinner even began, she had already announced once more that Ye Jiu had earned money and used it all to contribute to the household expenses, reminding everyone to be grateful for their young aunt’s kindness!

Although Ye Jiu felt it was somewhat unnecessary, Madam He insisted, and Ye Jiu didn’t want to disrespect her by challenging the idea over such a trivial matter.

Upon further reflection, Ye Jiu thought it was actually good for everyone to know.

Over the years, with her poor health, she had not skimped on spending money, whether for food, necessities, or medicine.

While the eldest sister-in-law never said anything, no one truly knew what she thought in her heart.

As for the second sister-in-law, her feelings were plainly written on her face.

She had objections, and not just for a day or two. If it weren’t for Madam He’s control and the second brother’s sentimentality, their second branch would have likely separated and lived their own good life by now.

It was better to openly say that the money was earned by her, to prevent them from always feeling that she was taking advantage of the family, which would sour their moods.

In the Ye Family’s main house, everyone was having a joyful time with plenty to eat and drink, pushing away any displeasure for the moment.
