"The person we should thank most for our escape is Miss Su. If she hadn't worked out a solution in such a short time, we wouldn't have been able to escape so easily."
The people of Xinghua Village were much less angry after hearing what the foot shop owner said.
Yang Dahe snorted at the people on the opposite side, "Learn from this. You are a bunch of ungrateful wolves."
The middle-aged man didn't expect that the owner of the foot shop didn't want it, but they wouldn't let it go, "Boss, that's a noble man, but that doesn't mean those things belong to her alone."
"Su girl picked up the things herself. If you really have the ability, why didn't you dare to go down and pick them up last night? It's dangerous outside, aren't you afraid? Now, you are so shameless that you want to share it."
"I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen people as shameless as you."
The people in Xinghua Village refused to give in, especially my eldest cousin's mother-in-law, Old Lady Zhang, who cursed at us fiercely as if they had taken her money.
Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel again, Su Yin immediately spoke out to stop them.
"Everyone, listen to me."
As soon as she spoke, both parties fell silent.
She was the one who picked up those bags, so she has the final say on how to deal with them.
Su Yin asked the boss to bring the bundles over. She spread out the contents in front of everyone so that everyone could see clearly what was inside the bundles.
In the first bundle, there were a lot of jewelry, mainly silver jewelry, and a lot of copper coins, and the rest were cloth.
In ancient times, cloth was more useful than money and could be used to pay.
The same was true during the Yong Dynasty, where cloth was also hard currency.
The second bag contained all valuable herbs, such as ginseng.
In the third bundle, there were banknotes of fifty taels each. Judging from the thickness, there were at least two thousand taels.
As soon as the bundle was opened, everyone in the hall opened their eyes wide, many of them showed greed, especially the middle-aged man and the young man in long gown, their breathing became rapid, and there was regret in their eyes, wondering why they didn't go down to pick up the bundle yesterday.
The fourth bag also contained money. With the previous one in it, the things in the latter bag seemed insignificant.
There were four bundles in total, and the contents, roughly estimated to be worth about three thousand taels.
The middle-aged man coughed lightly and said, "These bags are for you, Miss Su. As for how much of the things here you want to give us, we have no objection."
Su Yin glanced at the other person, and she could tell at a glance what he was thinking.
There were three thousand taels, even if they were given 20% or 30% of it, each of them could get several dozen taels. Several dozen taels was a huge sum of money, not to mention that it was free money.
What he said made it clear that you had to give them a sip of soup no matter what.
He was so eager to make the decision because he wanted to make the matter a done deal so that she would have to agree.
Su Yin would not do as he wished, "Divide? Why divide?"
"What do you mean? You don't want to pay a penny." The middle-aged man's face turned gloomy.
"Yes, I won't give you a penny."
Before they lost their temper, Su Yin added, "Of course, I won't take a penny."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was shocked.
That was several thousand taels of silver, and she just said she didn't want it.
Su Baozhu couldn't help but tug at her sleeve, "Are you stupid? That's several thousand taels of silver."
With that money, they will never go hungry anywhere.
What is her niece thinking?
Old Mrs. Zhang jumped up and said, "If you don't want it, give it to us. That's all money."
My eldest cousin kept pulling her mother-in-law, but she still couldn't control her.
Su's mother had long disliked Old Lady Zhang, but what she did and said before was all the Zhang family's business, and as an outsider, she couldn't say anything. But now that it involved her own daughter, she could speak out.
"My daughter can do whatever she wants with her, and no one has the right to interfere. If you really have the ability, go and do it yourself last night. Don't think you can get something for nothing."
This was not only said by Old Lady Zhang, but also by that group of people.
Su Yin was a little surprised by Su's mother's support. After all, it was several thousand taels, and if she shared a share, she would get a lot of money.
The three uncles wanted to speak up to persuade him, but in the end they said nothing.
The other people in Xinghua Village also remained silent, which was considered as their approval of Su Yin's behavior.
Old Lady Zhang was dumbfounded when she saw that no one in Xinghua Village said anything. "Why don't you try to persuade them? If we divide the money, we can get a lot."
Madam Xu spoke softly but forcefully, "No need. This money is ill-gotten gains, and I don't feel comfortable using it."
She was the poorest of the ten families and lived the hardest. If she was willing to let go, how could others have the face to say no.
Those people on the opposite side who were waiting to share the money looked at everyone in Xinghua Village as if they were fools.
If they don't want it, then what qualifications do they have to ask for money?
Master Wan San looked at the girl in surprise, and his shock was no less than anyone else's.
You know, he saw last night that black-hearted girl's greedy face. But today, she turned around and didn't even blink an eye, saying she didn't want thousands of taels of silver.
Is this black-hearted girl trying to bully me?
Master Wan San stared at Su Yin with a dim gaze.
The middle-aged man compromised, softened his tone, and said with a smile: "There is no need to do this. You should take it. We don't want much, just give us some money for the journey."
"Yeah yeah."
Su Yin ignored them and spoke slowly, "This money is all ill-gotten gains looted by the bandits. After last night, the people of Yongqing County must have suffered countless casualties. Some of them lost their parents, wives and children, and even their wealth, and became all alone."
"We don't know who this thing belongs to, but we are sure it belongs to the people of Yongqing County. So I plan to use all the money to buy food and provide porridge in the city to help the people of Yongqing County."
Master Wan San looked at the black-hearted girl in surprise again.
This girl and this pattern are so grand!
The foot shop owner looked at Su Yin with gratitude.
"Yinyin, aren't we going to hurry on our way?" Su's mother asked in a low voice.
Su Yin quickly gave the answer.
She turned to look at the owner of the foot shop, "Boss Xu, we have to hurry and can't stay here for long, so I want to ask you for a favor. Please use this money to buy food and help provide porridge to the people who have been affected by the disaster."
The shop owner quickly responded, "No trouble, no trouble. I thank you on behalf of the people of Yongqing County. You are a good person, a very good person."
