After that, every year Jinhoo donated a sum of silver to the Wang Family Clan and Qilidun—the former for repairing the ancestral hall, the latter for rebuilding roads and bridges.
Moreover, he announced to everyone that it was Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu's idea, saying they still cherished their hometown despite not having returned for years. While other places might be fine, Qilidun was remote, making travel difficult, so they wanted to help their hometown and sent some silver annually, hoping the villagers would repair the mountain path to prevent accidents from slippery roads during rain.
Jinhoo himself explained, saying that he relied on Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu to do business outside and earn some money. Although his ability was limited for such major works as rebuilding roads and bridges, it was his filial heart as his family was well-off and didn't need him to worry.
