Chapter 1911 Six Hundred Taels in Hand

In other words, after deducting the fifty taels and returning them to Granny Fang, Zhou Tiedong, and Guo Zheng, only one hundred taels remain.

For ordinary people, a hundred taels of silver is already a huge sum of money.

But for Chen He, this money was far from enough for his future life. After all, he had no house, no shop, and was an illegitimate child; to think he could achieve anything in the future was simply a pipe dream.

But that wasn't all. Chen Qiu soon returned from the prefectural city and wanted to split the money with him.

She wasn't married yet, and part of this was her mother's dowry. How could she give it all to Chen He? He was already married and had children; he had already spent all the money he needed to.

The brother and sister got into a fight, resulting in both of them being bleeding from head wounds.

Unexpectedly, after the siblings' relationship broke down, the government informed them that the money belonged to Chen Bing. Chen He and Chen Qiu were not Chen Bing's children, so of course he couldn't give the money to them.

In other words, if the brother and sister wanted to divide the money, they could only get the fifty taels of dowry from Pan.

Well... however, the dowry of fifty taels was eventually taken back by the eldest son of the Pan family.

The brother and sister ended up with nothing after a chaotic mess. With nowhere to stay in the county town, they had no choice but to slink back to the Pan family home.

As for how things went after they returned to the Pan family, that was not something the Lu family should care about. From the beginning, their enemy was Chen Bing, who was there to get the six hundred taels of silver for Granny Fang.

Now that the silver was in her hand, Granny Fang was still somewhat dazed as she held the silver notes.

More than 30 years ago, she gave this money to Chen Bing, and 30 years later, this money has finally been returned.

The old lady was very happy. "You should keep this money safe. When you return to Dong'an Prefecture, you won't have a bad life."

"Hmm, it can also help Ah Gui find a wife." Granny Fang came back to her senses and clutched the silver note tightly. "I want to go buy some things, sister, will you come with me?"

"Sure, buy whatever you want."

What Grandma Fang wanted to buy was a gift for the younger generation of the Lu family.

She was poor before, and the only thing she could give away was some embroidered sachets. The children didn't mind, but compared to the help they had given her, the gift was really too small.

Now that she had the money, Granny Fang inquired in detail about the younger generation in Lu Sanzhu's family and their preferences, and began to prepare gifts accordingly. She didn't spend extravagantly to show off; the gifts weren't expensive, and most importantly, they were gifts that suited the recipients' tastes.

Seeing that she was sensible, the old lady didn't stop her.

Later, Grandma Fang bought some things to visit the Guan family and returned to Hedeng Village. She didn't know if she'd have a chance to come back, so she wanted to spend as much time as possible with her friends while she was still alive.

Shu Yu didn't get involved in these matters. After Granny Fang received the money, she took Lu Erbai and Da Bao, who was clamoring to stay with his brother, to the prefectural city.

Lu Sanzhu wanted to go too, but Shu Yu wouldn't take him, telling him to stay behind and take care of the old lady and Granny Fang, which made Lu Sanzhu feel very wronged.

After leaving Chenggu County, the carriage took a detour after traveling a short distance.

Da Bao peeked out and, upon seeing this, immediately shouted, "No, no, we're going the wrong way. We should go straight!"

“We haven’t gone to the wrong place. We still need to go somewhere else,” Shu Yu said calmly.

They went to Tuqiao Village. Shu Yu was going to find Zhou Tiedong to talk about hiring him as a helper.
