Chapter-155: distribution of money
She knew that one day she would come back and crush all those who hurt her under her feet, making Wendy Lark regret her actions. In this way, the people from the eldest house drove their carriages to catch up with the main force and never looked back.
Therefore, they did not see their wives and children chasing after them. The Lark family's daughter in law, illegitimate sons, daughters, and Mistresses all stared blankly at the receding carriage, their hearts filled with extreme fear. Just abandon them like that?!
"Come in." A voice came from inside. The people in the big house looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes. Will they still have a good life now that their old, weak and sick children have fallen into Wendy Lark's hands?
The lobby was filled with members of the Lark family. Wendy Lark raised her hand and said, "Everyone line up. Now we will distribute the money. Anyone over thirteen years old can get a share."
The cheers were so loud that they were about to blow the roof off the room, and the atmosphere was so joyful. The people in the big house stared at all this in a daze, feeling even sadder.
Wendy Lark continued, "However, I have to deduct one hundred Coins of carriage money first, and keep seven hundred Coins with me. When we get to the border, I will give them to everyone to buy land, build houses and the rest will be distributed to everyone for travel expenses."
She arranged every sum of money clearly. Every family had a different temperament, so in this difficult period they had to manage everything in a unified way. She wants to ensure that every family can get through this difficult time safely.
Everyone calculated that this should give us more than 200? Not bad. Someone couldn't help but ask, "Where is the silver for the child?" Wendy Lark had already thought about it.
"I will keep them for the time being. Children over seven and under the age of thirteen will go to the Lark family's school, and children under the age of three and under the age of seven will go to the Lark family's kindergarten.
Two Coins of silver per month will cover their food and accommodation. The money will be deducted from this amount and they will receive the rest when they turn thirteen." The education of the next generation is the key among the keys.
If she can train the children to be useful talents, then her life will be much easier. She attaches great importance to education. Education is a long term plan. For a family to develop, it does not rely on one person, but on the efforts of countless talents.
Some people feel uncomfortable and ask, "Why can't it be kept by parents or family members?" Wendy Lark glanced at him indifferently. This was a member of the Family who had remarried a wife.
The pair of children born to his ex-wife formed a sharp contrast with the one born to his second wife. The former was a beggar, and the latter was a prince. All I can say is that the Family members are of mixed quality.
What she can do is to provide every child with a relatively fair environment. Of course, this will also isolate parents from the extent of their control over their children.
"Because I am more reliable than you, I can have another child. You can be partial, but I treat everyone equally. That's the decision. If you have any objections, you can refuse to take the money."
She was very forceful, "If you accept it, it will be regarded as your consent." Not accepting the money? Isn't that a sin? Forget it. If I can't get the child's money, I'll get my own money first. At worst, I can wait until the child is thirteen years old.
No one raised any objections, and everyone received their share. Lark family's eldest daughter in law Xavia said weakly, "Head, can we get the money?" Now they have nothing and no one to rely on. How are they going to live in the future?
Wendy Lark looked at them steadily, "You have two choices. One, remarry, but you can't take the child with you. I will give you 100 Coins as a dowry."
"Remarry…?" Everyone was shocked, because her husband was not dead yet. Besides, there is no precedent of remarriage in their Lark family, and there are only women who remain chaste all their lives.
Wendy Lark didn't care about that. Everyone had to follow the rules she set. "All the adult males in the first house have died. As the head of the Family, I allow the widow to remarry." The Family members were silent.
It felt more like revenge. How could this be stopped? Xavia was a well known virtuous woman, so how could she possibly remarry? "What about the second option?"
Wendy Lark wanted to test their character and also wanted to change the customs and allow her Family members to remarry.
"Take good care of the child until he is thirteen years old and I will give you five hundred Coins in one lump sum. During this period, you will have to support your family on your own."
Xavia and her sister in law Molly looked at each other, both with sad faces, "We are just weak women. We don't have the ability to make money."
Wendy Lark said calmly, "I have accepted a batch of cloth. Anyone who knows needlework can take it. The more you do, the more you earn. I can't say anything else, but you will definitely have no problem supporting yourself."
She doesn't want to make things difficult for anyone, but hopes that everyone can be self reliant. It is better to rely on yourself than to ask others. The crowd was in an uproar. "Great! I'll be the first to sign up. I'm good at needlework."
