Chapter 375 Let's Split It Evenly
Another surprise?
Da Niu asked in surprise, "What is it?"
Shu Yu quietly took out the silver notes, "In addition to the thirty taels, they also gave us two extra taels as a service fee."
Da Niu couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at the fifty taels of silver with slight excitement.
Shu Yu said, "Thirty taels of silver is for the private room fee, and we'll split the remaining twenty taels equally."
Da Niu was taken aback, then immediately shook his head, "No need, you can keep the silver."
“No way! You’ve put in a lot of effort this time. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even know my fourth uncle. I might even have mistaken him for a perverted lecher hiding in the women’s restroom and handed him over to the black market on the spot. By then, it would be too late. So, we’ll split this money in half.”
“But, but this is too much money.” Da Niu frowned and said with difficulty, “Actually, the one who worked the hardest and suffered the most, and who deserves the most credit, is Fourth Uncle. Why don’t you give my share to Fourth Uncle?”
Ten taels of silver—that's a huge sum of money for Da Niu.
Earning money in just one day? That seems unrealistic.
Although he had seen many grand scenes at the black market today and heard countless transactions involving thousands or tens of thousands of silver coins, he was still quite accustomed to them.
But back in reality, ten taels of silver is not a small amount.
Shu Yu couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder. "Brother Da Niu, why are you so honest? This is our hard work fee, and it's a reward for Fourth Uncle. It's just that Lord Xiang hasn't decided what the reward will be yet. Once he decides, Fourth Uncle will definitely get more than us. Don't worry, Lord Xiang won't treat those who have made contributions unfairly."
Da Niu immediately perked up, "Really?"
"Of course, would I lie to you?"
Da Niu could only chuckle; he genuinely hadn't considered this possibility.
Shu Yu put away the entire fifty-tael silver note, and then gave him another ten taels of loose silver. "This is your share. Keep this silver safe. I know you can't keep all ten taels for yourself. But I think you should give three or four taels to your mother and save the rest for yourself."
Da Niu raised his head, looked at the silver in his hand, and after a long while said, "I understand what you mean."
"It's good that you understand. We're getting married soon, and having more money in hand will make things easier. This hardship fee is something only the two of us know about. I haven't even told Grandma, so don't tell her either. Keep the money safe and don't let anyone find out."
Da Niu smiled wryly. He wasn't blindly filial, and he had saved up some money over the years.
But even all of them combined don't amount to as much as what I have in my hand.
He suddenly understood why his third uncle always followed Ayu around; Ayu's ability to fly with people was truly unmatched.
Last time, it was Third Uncle who got ten taels of silver; this time it's his turn.
He felt that Ayu was probably the goddess of wealth descended to earth, and that she was exceptionally good at making money.
Da Niu carefully put the money away and said solemnly, "I understand, A Yu, thank you."
"This is all your own achievement, why are you thanking me?"
Shu Yu patted his shoulder and then strolled off to her room.
When she came out again, she heard familiar voices outside the courtyard gate. Then the gate was pushed open and three figures, two adults and one child, walked in.
At the very front was Da Hu, dressed in a school uniform and carrying a backpack.
The little one was overjoyed and excitedly ran into the door, "Second sister, I'm home from school!"
