“Husband, Lin San doesn’t earn money easily. Next time we see him, we must return the money to him.”

Xiao Jingchuan smiled slightly and nodded, indicating his agreement with his wife's idea. Even though he had given Lin San the hundred taels in advance, he would respect her opinion and return it to Lin San.

"By the way, husband, why did the General Protector of the Nation send you silver?"

Shen Yunsheng snapped out of his daze and focused his attention back on the silver.

"Actually, this money is my monthly salary. When I left the army, the general personally promised to give me a monthly salary. This extra money should be from his own pocket."

Xiao Jingchuan explained with a smile that his job was very special and he couldn't tell his wife yet.

Shen Yunsheng counted the silver in the bag; there were eighty taels of silver. If they used it all to buy food, his family of five wouldn't be able to finish it.

After putting away the money pouch, Shen Yunsheng couldn't help but praise, "Your general is such a good person. With this money, we won't have to worry about not having food to eat."

"My wife, I will work hard to earn money in the future and I will definitely give you a good life," Xiao Jingchuan said earnestly to his wife.

His eyes were filled with doting affection. If he weren't afraid of arousing his wife's suspicion, he would even have entrusted all his savings to her for safekeeping. After all, she was the woman who would spend her whole life with him, and of course he wanted to give her a sense of security.

Fearing her husband would run out of money, Shen Yunsheng took out her purse and gave him twenty taels.

"Husband, keep this money. You'll inevitably have to spend money when you're traveling. Don't deprive yourself."

Just as Xiao Jingchuan accepted the silver, an anxious shout rang out from outside the door, "Jingchuan's family, something terrible has happened to your family! You must go to Baihua Mountain to check on them!"
