"No, no, no, little girl, you can't do that. You're making me make a mistake."

Tang Yue smiled and stuffed a stack of ten-yuan notes into Chen Qingshan's arms.

“Uncle Chen, I understand the principle of ‘seeing is caring.’ There might be times when I need your help in the future, so please don’t refuse.”

Qian Dazhi and Old Li's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. When did this girl hide the money? They hadn't seen it at all.

This must have been taken from those spies, otherwise the little girl's family wouldn't have so much money.

However, neither of them felt jealous.

Qian Dazhi had always been an honest man, adhering to the principle of not taking what wasn't his. Old Li, on the other hand, was planning to live with Tang Shengkai's family from now on; his money was no different from theirs, so he naturally wasn't envious.

Chen Qingshan felt like he was in a bind; he was now tied to this family and there was no way to get off.

How did he end up being tied to this boat by these people?

Shaking his head, Chen Qingshan reluctantly stuffed a wad of money into his pocket.

"It's getting late, I have to go back to the county. Little girl, if you need anything in the future, just come find me in the county."

Tang Yue smiled and nodded. She didn't mention that she was leaving and didn't know when they would meet again. She also didn't say that the money was hush money for him; in fact, he didn't care whether it was or not, he just didn't want to cause so much trouble.

After seeing Chen Qingshan off, Tang Yue took two more stacks of ten-yuan notes, giving one to Qian Dazhi and the other to Old Li.

Both of them refused, neither wanting it. Tang Yue's expression became more serious.

"Grandpa Qian, Grandpa Li, you have to take this money. In the whole Qiligou, Grandpa Qian and Grandpa Li are the only ones who really care about our family."

Besides, this money was all taken from those spies, so it's only right that we share it.

Qian Dazhi's voice was muffled, "It shouldn't cost that much, you didn't find much in total."

It's not surprising that Qian Dazhi thought that way. Perhaps this guy really had no luck with money; the corpses he searched each only had a couple hundred yuan on them, while Tang Yue and Old Li's searches yielded at least two or three hundred yuan each.

Seeing that Tang Yue insisted on handing over the money, Old Li reached out and took it. He understood that he would need money for many more occasions in the future, and it would be good for him to have some on him so that he wouldn't have to ask them for it in case he needed it urgently.

Tang Yue remained silent, her large eyes fixed on Qian Dazhi, until Qian Dazhi finally had no choice but to stare.

"If I take your money..."

Tang Shengkai didn't let him continue, "Uncle Qian, this is only right, and we didn't put in much effort. Just take what you're entitled to."

Qian Dazhi wanted to say that he hadn't really been of much help. He felt guilty taking the money, but the little girl insisted on giving it to him, and he knew she had at least a stack of cash left, so he accepted it.

"How about we let Qian Xing join the army with you?"
