"No, it was because I didn't realize the problem earlier," Fu Mingzhu said. "Next month I'll carefully calculate the silver coins I have on hand. If necessary, I'll ask Aunt for a bit more."
Aunt Cheng has many shops and dividends from the Cheng family business, and she surely has plenty of silver coins at her disposal.
Fu Shinian: "..."
He was careless and forgot that Aunt Cheng is even wealthier.
Fu Shinian thought for a moment and said, "Aunt has more money because she gets dividends from the Cheng family business."
"Why don't you also see if there's a promising business and invest some silver coins in it?" Fu Shinian proposed, "That way, money makes money, and you won't have to ask Aunt for it. Furthermore, investing in business is like saving money."
"That sounds good, but if I suggest it, Uncle definitely won't take my money," Fu Mingzhu said.
Fu Shinian then suggested, "Then let's run a business ourselves."
