"Mother, what did you say to Lord Bao?" Ye Yunniang sensed that Cai Damei had gone to Bao Min's room and was in a bad mood when she returned.

"It's nothing. He just promised he wouldn't talk about it," Cai Damei said, downplaying the issue.

"Mother, I just went out and saw Jiang Mingzhe."

“He’s on the ship.” Cai Damei sat up straight. “What’s his plan with you?”

"He hasn't finished his business yet, so he came to see me and left." Ye Yunniang said, taking out three silver scrolls from her bosom.

Cai Damei looked at the banknotes on the table.

"Money for raising a child?"

"I suppose so," Ye Yunniang recalled what Jiang Mingzhe had said when he gave her the silver notes.

“It’s too little for my woman, Jiang Mingzhe, to spend only one tael of silver a month.”

Ye Yunniang has seen it; one silver note roll contains 10 notes, each with a face value of 1000 taels of silver.

The three volumes totaled 30,000 taels of silver.

"How much!" Cai Damei exclaimed in shock.

30,000.

“We’re just a small business; we haven’t seen enough,” Cai Damei sighed again.

The ship arrived at Lincheng Port after 10 days of sailing.

Stepping onto the earth, feeling the fragrance of the soil, Ye Yunniang's nausea completely vanished.

After resting for a day in Lincheng to recover, Tong Mo hired a horse-drawn carriage to take his family to Lijia Village.

Lijia Village is a village under the jurisdiction of Dawan Town, Lin'an County, Lincheng City.

The horse-drawn carriage traveled along the official road for two days to reach Dawan Town.

The Li family had sold all their land and houses in Lijia Village. They had nowhere to stay when they returned. So, the group stayed at an inn in town.

Cai Damei remembered Li Wenkuo's eldest son, Li Dong, who worked as an accountant in a restaurant in town.

Go see Li Dong first and find out what's going on.

"Why is Auntie back?"
