Chapter 450 The Silver Left by Shu Yu

After the old lady finished speaking, she took the lead and walked into the city gate.

She staggered slightly, and Daya quickly came over to support her, saying, "Grandma, slow down."

On the way home, none of them spoke, and they all seemed very downcast.

Even after returning to Liufang Lane and entering their home, the old lady and the others were listless and had no desire to do anything.

After Shu Yu left, they all seemed to have lost their souls.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Erbai wiped his face and said, "I'm going to the shop."

Ayu is gone; they should work even harder to make money.

Madam Ruan thought so too. She raised her head, washed her face, and said, "I'll go to the tailor's room too."

Da Hu had taken half a day off today, so he didn't need to rush to school. But he still clenched his fist and said, "I... I'll do my homework."

Sanya wanted to go too, and the little girl ran inside with a clattering sound.

Just then, Lu Erbai, who had gone inside to change clothes, suddenly called out, "Mother, Mother, come in quickly."

Hearing his urgent call, the old lady hurriedly went inside. "What's wrong? Why are you in such a rush?"

The others followed, and as soon as they entered, they saw Lu Erbai holding a cloth bag and a letter.

"What happened?"

Lu Erbai, somewhat dazed, handed over the cloth bag. "Mother, take a look."

The old woman opened the bag suspiciously, glanced at it, and then quickly closed it again. "This, this..."

She quickly told Da Hu and San Ya, who had run in behind her, to go out first. Although the children in the family were sensible, they were too young, and if they accidentally said something, something could easily go wrong.

After the two children left, Lu Erbai said, "Ayu left behind a letter here."

The old lady took the letter, but quickly realized she couldn't read, so she handed it back, saying, "Read it to me."

Lu Erbai had learned quite a few characters these days, and Shu Yu's letter was written simply, so he quickly began to read it.

After a long pause, he said, "This was left to us by Ayu. Ayu said that she recently acquired something good, sold it, and made a lot of money. There are two thousand taels in this bag for us to use in case of an emergency."

Two thousand taels?

Everyone present gasped in shock. The old lady had only seen a lot of banknotes and loose silver in the bag, but didn't know the exact amount. Now that she heard how much it was, she almost fainted.

"How could she have so much silver?" Did she get something good? What kind of good thing is so expensive?

Shu Yu originally only intended to put out one thousand taels, which was more than enough for the Lu family.

The main concern is that she doesn't know when she'll be back, and they're worried that if she doesn't return home for six months, the Lu family might be unable to help her in case of an emergency.

But then I thought about it, and the old lady and the others knew that she had a thousand taels of silver. If she left that much, the Lu family would definitely think that she had left all the silver on her, and they would worry that she would not have money on the road and would start to overthink things.

Leaving two thousand taels also tells them that she has extra money, even a lot, so they don't have to worry about not having money on their journey.

Sure enough, the Lu family members exchanged glances and suddenly felt that the silver was burning hot.

They never knew that their family was actually so...rich.

The old lady quickly stuffed the money bag into Lu Erbai's hands, saying, "Put it away, put it away, hide it well, don't tell any of us, and don't tell anyone else."
