Yang Qing's face was ashen. Although He Shanhu had treated him badly, he hadn't done anything to deserve this. His hatred had caused the He family to sell their property and become penniless. Yang Qing was extremely uneasy and tormented. He whispered a few words to the servant beside him.

The servant named Huanzi ran towards the city gate once again.

"Wait a moment, I have something for you."

Yang Qing's voice was no longer as excited as it had been before.

He had calmed down considerably, yet a hint of despair lingered in his expression.

"Hmph, I've been harmed like this for no reason, and now you're telling me you've mistaken my enemy? You think this is all over? Let me tell you, it's not over! As long as my grandson is alive, the He family has roots! Sooner or later, we will regain our former glory, and then I will repay you tenfold for what you've done to our He family!"

He Shanhu turned and left, ignoring Yang Qing's words completely.

What are you waiting for?

He wished he could beat Yang Qing to death on the spot.

You can see a burly servant standing next to Yang Qing.

He was ultimately too scared to make a move.

After all, the He family consists of six people, all of whom are elderly, weak, sick, or disabled. Who could they possibly defeat?

He Shanhu left with his entire family.

"Father, what did he say to you?" He Wanjiang asked.

"The corpse oil candles that Chu Wei bought were a trap set by Yang Qing."

A few simple words were enough to leave He Wanjiang and his son speechless.

They flew into a rage and ran towards Yang Qing, only to be stopped by He Shanhu a second later.

"So what if you went? Do you two think you can beat them? Come back. My He family will avenge this sooner or later. There's no need to rush."

The head of the household has spoken.

The father and son had no choice but to stop.

“Father, I won’t go with you. Such a big thing has happened at home. My maternal family is worried about me and can’t bear to see me suffer. I signed the divorce papers with Chu Wei yesterday. From now on, we will have no further connection in our marriages. I’ll see you off here.”

Just as the He family was preparing to continue their journey.

Wan took a step back and put down the hand that was pushing the cart.

After saying that, he turned and left.

The five people were left completely bewildered.

"What's going on? What divorce?" He Shanhu asked He Chuwei.

"What else could it be? She's a gold digger, what a slut, and she ran away so fast!" Madam Liu said sinisterly from the side.

“Grandfather, let her go if she wants to. When the He family rises again, she will regret it. Anyway, she has been married into the family for many years and has not even given me a child. She is a useless piece of trash. We have no use for her.”

He Chuwei's face flushed slightly.

He angrily hurled insults at Wan.

He was trying to regain some of his masculine dignity.

"Oh well, let's forget about her and hurry up. Otherwise we won't get there until the afternoon, and we'll have to clean up and tidy up. We have to find a place to stay before dark, or we'll have to get through the night."

He Shanhu was too exhausted to argue with the Wan family.

He sighed.

Walk forward.

A quarter of an hour later, a carriage caught up with them.

They were stopped in the middle of the road.

Yang Qing got out of the carriage.

"Are you ever going to stop? You've been blocking our way time and time again, what exactly do you want?"

He Wanjiang lost his temper.

He rolled up his sleeves, intending to rush over and beat Yang Qing up.

"Wanjiang, come here!"

He Shanhu called out to his son and walked forward alone.

"I know that your current predicament is all my fault. I mistook you for your enemy and vented my hatred on your He family. I also admit that I set up the corpse oil candles. I bribed your supplier, but he has already fled to the capital. You can't find him. This was my fault. Take these silver notes. They are all the money my family has saved up. Consider it compensation. Of course, I know this is nothing. So, no matter how your He family treats me in the future, whether you hate me or harm me, I will never retaliate!"

Yang Qing's expression was somewhat serious.

After handing the silver notes in his hand to He Shanhu, he got into the carriage.

They left.

The He family was left standing there, stunned.

"Father, how much silver?"

"Master, bring it over here quickly and let me take a look."

No wonder they are mother and son; Lu Shi and He Wanjiang speak in sync.

He Shanhu gripped the silver note tightly, turned around, and walked back to where he had been.

He opened the banknotes with trembling hands and began counting them.

"One hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred, five hundred, six hundred, seven hundred, eight hundred!"

"A full eight hundred taels!"

He Shanhu smiled for the first time in half a month.

"Good, good, good! There's hope for the He family to rise again! Wanjiang, Chuwei, let's not go to the village anymore, let's go! Back to the city! Let's stay at the inn for a few days, then buy a small house to settle down, and we'll use the remaining money to plan what kind of business to start!"

"Alright, Dad, let's go home!"

"Grandpa, keep the banknotes safe, don't lose them."

The He family members became unusually excited.

Especially the Liu family.

Her alluring eyes suddenly brightened.

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at He Shanhu's chest.

There were eight hundred taels of silver notes there!

In Shuxian County, a brand-new courtyard house costs at most 500 taels of silver.

The older ones can be bought for three or four hundred taels.

The He family now consists of only five people.

One room is enough to live in; with the remaining silver, we could easily buy a small shop.

Even with a little effort in managing the business, one could still live the good life they used to have.

Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

She had originally planned to find another way, but now that she thinks about it, she's glad she didn't leave as hastily as Wan.

See?

The money came on its own!
