By the time Chen Yu'an and his group of people who had gone out for shopping and eating returned to Bai Mansion, it was already mid-afternoon.
Although they didn't suffer any loss from what happened in the jewelry store just now, Bai Mingxi still couldn't swallow it.
After he said goodbye to the Shen family, he left with a rage in his heart.
Since Meng Jianhua and his cronies dare to cause trouble, they should be prepared to be retaliated against.
The Shen family and their entourage also returned to their guest house to pack up their things.
Most of their stuff was still on the oxcarts and flatbed carts, and they just needed to put those that had been taken down in the past two days in order.
As for the things they bought outside today, they didn't throw away the unfinished food, but put them away and planned to take them with them.
Because neither Chen Yun nor Xiao Zhang went out this time, Liu Lang went to find them excitedly with two strings of candied haws as soon as he returned to the yard.
After Xiao Zhang became pregnant, she particularly liked to eat sour and sweet things. She took the candied haws and started eating.
Liu Lang next to him was talking excitedly about what happened after he went out today.
Talking about what happened in the jewelry store, Shen Yun felt quite regretful that he was not able to witness the excitement in person.
After dinner, the Shen family told Bai Ji and Mrs. Bai that they would be leaving the next day.
The two tried to persuade them to stay longer, but ultimately failed.
However, that night Bai Ji and Bai Wu went to Mr. Shen's room to give him a thank-you gift.
It was a thank-you gift from the Shen family for sending Bai Wu and Bai Miaoqing, father and daughter, back home.
The Shen family told them in advance that they would leave tomorrow, and also asked the Bai family to find someone to lead the way for them.
They were resettled in Longxian Village, but they didn't know the exact location.
Bai Ji smiled and said, "Don't worry, old man. I will definitely arrange this well and send you all to Longxian Village."
He continued, "If there is any need for me in the future, please just ask, and we two brothers will definitely be there for you."
After some more pleasantries, the two brothers Bai Ji and Bai Wu got up and left.
The old man opened the box that Bai Ji sent and took a look. It was also a full box of silver, with a few silver bills at the bottom.
He took it out and looked at it. The denominations were all five hundred taels.
It was the first time for the old man to see a silver note. He held it in his hand and looked at it curiously for a long time. Then he put the silver note and the silver into the wooden box without a penny difference.
After Bai Ji left, Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen looked at the box and discussed, "We came all the way here from Xing'an Town (the original place of residence), we can't take all the silver."
Old Madam Shen glanced at the old man and said, "Am I that kind of person?"
It just so happened that no one was asleep yet, so after the two of them discussed it, they asked Shen Rong and the others to call everyone into the room.
The box lies on the table.
Everyone came to this room and asked in confusion: "Dad, what is the matter that Nenwan asked us to come over?"
Mr. Shen simply opened the box on the table and let them see for themselves.
The white silver seemed to be shining, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Chen Yun looked at the silver and said in surprise: "Wow, Dad, where did all this silver come from?"
Old Master Shen said, "It was just sent by Doctor Bai's eldest brother. He said it was a thank you gift for bringing Doctor Bai and Miaoqing here safely."
"My wife and I thought that we couldn't take all the money, so we called you all over and divided the money to avoid any grudges in the future."
In addition to the Shen family, the only people present were Old Man Shen Xingwang, the four members of the Zhang family, the Hua Ling siblings, Ji Xun, and Song Xiaoni.
Fei Yanche hasn't come back yet, so he is gone.
They looked at each other, and all felt that they could not take the money.
They knew exactly how they arrived here safely and how their lives on the road were more comfortable than before at home.
So they can’t take this silver!
Old Master Shen Xingwang said, "I didn't contribute a single bit on this journey, so I can't take the money."
Naturally, Song Xiaoni and Hua Nan and Hua Ling, brother and sister, didn't want it either.
The remaining four members of the Zhang family looked at each other and finally said, "The government has already given us five taels of silver per person as resettlement fees."
"This money will be enough to support us for quite some time. Once we settle down and find a job, we will definitely have more and more money, so just take it with confidence."
Mr. Shen frowned and said, "It depends on what you are talking about."
The group of people argued for a long time before making the final decision.
The total amount of silver sent by Bai Ji was 1,100 taels, including two silver notes of 500 taels each, and the other 100 taels were silver ingots of 10 taels each.
The siblings Hua Nan, Hua Ling and Song Xiaoni did not get any money.
Old man Shen Xingwang was going to live with the Shen family in the future, but he also gave him five taels of silver to fill his pocket.
Ji Xun didn't give them anything, and even paid them protection fees along the way.
The Zhang family was given 100 taels of silver, but they refused to take any more.
The first, second, and third wives of the Shen family also gave ten taels of silver each, which was considered the family's private property.
The remaining two silver notes continued to be held by Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen.
After dividing the money, everyone left Mr. Shen's house.
As for the fact that Fei Yanche hasn't returned yet, no one asked any more questions.
When it was late at night and everyone went to bed.
Shen Yu'an, who was about to fall asleep, heard a slight sound coming from the yard and opened his eyes sharply.
Hearing footsteps coming towards her, Shen Yu'an became defensive.
But the footsteps stopped in front of her door, stayed for a moment, and then turned and left.
Shen Yu'an walked to the door quietly and opened it.
Outside the door was Fei Yanche, who was wearing a coarse linen shirt.
Hearing the noise behind him, he turned around again.
Shen Yu'an looked at Fei Yanche, whose hair was covered with a layer of mist, and wondered how long he had been outside.
She asked softly, "Why are you back so late?"
She was just asking politely, but Fei Yanche answered her seriously: "I went out to meet a few subordinates to discuss some things."
Shen Yuan hummed softly and asked, "We are leaving tomorrow. Do you want to go back with us or stay here?"
