Chi Erxiong, who was initially shocked by the amount of money, instantly came to his senses after hearing Chi Yu's words.

"No, Little Fish, you mean you're going to donate all ten thousand taels?"

Chi Yu nodded: "Yes, the immortal gave me this cave dwelling because he couldn't bear to see the people of the world living in such dire straits."

The situation in the northern frontier is serious, and the Northern Di were at war with our Great Chu Kingdom just a few years ago.

The situation over there is not good. The Northern Di people are definitely not giving up their evil intentions and will start another war.

"If the soldiers over there have no food or water, we can all foresee what will happen."

Upon hearing this, Chi Erxiong fell silent.

Without food and water, the soldiers are bound to suffer a defeat.

The result will certainly be a large-scale conscription of men throughout the entire Great Chu Kingdom.

Chi Yu continued, "Second Brother, I am donating money to accumulate merit."

In this way, the crops in the field should also be able to grow faster.

If sweet potatoes and potatoes can be harvested before May.

Then we'll keep some for seed and donate the rest.

The money I've kept is enough for my own use.

Chi Erxiong was still reluctant to part with it; it was a full ten thousand taels of silver.

The people of Chijia'ao, all the money they've earned over the past hundred years combined, doesn't amount to that much.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Chi Qiao: "Sister-in-law, are you just going to let Xiaoyu run wild?"

Although Chi Qiao valued money, she agreed with her sister's approach.

The fact that the sisters traveled through the book together is already quite mystical.

This space is still their old home, and they are required to accumulate merit to upgrade, which means they need to do good deeds.

Having money is good enough, but not too much; just do more good deeds.

Donating money now will leave a good impression on Marquis Zhenbei and Fang Shizhong.

It will be good for Xiaoyu and the Chi clan.

After all, some things cannot be bought with a mere ten or twenty thousand taels of silver!

After quickly weighing the pros and cons in her mind, Chi Qiao said:

"Second brother, I think Xiaoyu did the right thing."

Moreover, she didn't donate all of it; she kept five thousand taels.

With what we earned before, what Amu gave us, and the gold jewelry from Xianju, we have enough to live on.

Not to mention, once the soap workshop's products are sold, there will be a steady stream of income.

Besides, the grains, chickens, ducks, fish, and other food in our cave can all be sold for money.

These were all gifts bestowed upon the little fish by the immortals.

He asks us to do good deeds, so we should still give them up.

The immortals of the province felt that we were greedy and, in a fit of anger, took away this cave.

"Now, if we lose this cave, second brother, think about the consequences."

Chi Erxiong, who was initially heartbroken about donating over 10,000 taels of silver, lost all interest after hearing that his cave dwelling might be taken back.

This cave dwelling belongs to an immortal; even ten million taels of gold couldn't buy it.

With this, the Chi clan and even the people of Anping County would be able to survive the natural disasters to come.

If they are taken back, it's tantamount to waiting for death.

So, if you want to donate a mere ten thousand taels, then donate it.

With this cave dwelling, how could I not earn that ten thousand taels?

"Sister-in-law, you're right. I misunderstood."

"Little Fish, if you want to donate, then donate. Your second brother has no objection and is actually very happy that you're so generous."

After saying this, he put his hands behind his back and strode away.

He was afraid that if he slowed down even a step, he would be heartbroken and unable to let go.

Little Fish said that after donating money, the crops in the cave would grow faster.
