"What?"
Madam Song stared at Song Yaoyao:
"Don't play dumb with me. Hand over the banknotes."
Song Yaoyao pretended to be crazy and said:
"What banknotes? Mother, I didn't take your banknotes!"
Mrs. Song took several deep breaths before yelling:
"Song Yaoyao, stop pretending to be confused in front of me.
Hand over the banknote that Madam Rong gave you."
Song Yaoyao looked at her mother who was suppressing her anger and couldn't pretend anymore. She cautiously tried to test him:
"Mom, can you give me a little bit, just a little bit?"
Song Yaoyao gestured with her thumb and little finger.
Mrs. Song said:
"Hand over the banknotes first, and we'll decide based on the situation."
"Okay."
Song Yaoyao reluctantly took out the banknote.
Seeing her reluctant look, Mrs. Song snatched the banknotes away and started counting them.
Song Yaoyao stretched her head unwillingly, staring at Mrs. Song counting the money.
Song Yaoyao was also counting the banknotes in her mind.
It took a long time to count them. Each one was of a denomination of 100 taels. There were 50 of them, which was a total of 5,000 taels.
So much silver!
Song Yaoyao reached out, pulled Madam Song's sleeve, and acted coquettishly:
"Mother, look at all these banknotes, how much can you give me?"
Mrs. Song thought for a moment, took out a 100-liang silver note, and handed it to Song Yaoyao:
"for you."
Song Yaoyao pursed her lips, this is too stingy, and said dissatisfiedly:
"Mom, five thousand taels, and you only give me one hundred taels? Isn't that too little?"
Mrs. Song said unhappily:
"That's all, take it or leave it!"
Mrs. Song was about to take back the banknote, but Song Yaoyao snatched it away:
"Who said I don't want it? Even if it's just a mosquito leg, it's better than nothing."
Mrs. Song listened to her mumblings, snorted coldly and prepared to leave. Song Yaoyao was quick-witted and grabbed the corner of Mrs. Song's clothes:
"Mom, wait a minute."
Mrs. Song turned around and asked:
"What happened again?"
Since so many banknotes have been taken away by my mother, Song Yaoyao wants to get some blessings for her elder sister and the others.
So, Song Yaoyao said carefully:
“It’s good that other people come to thank us.
Mother, can you give each of the elder sister, elder brother, and second brother a hundred taels of silver notes to make them happy too!"
Unexpectedly, Song Yaoyao still remembered her brothers and sisters at this time. This made Mrs. Song very pleased and nodded:
"I'll do as you wish this time."
Then, he took out another three hundred taels of silver note, handed it to Song Yaoyao, and said:
"Here you go, one hundred taels for each of the four of you brothers and sisters."
Song Yaoyao nodded, took the banknote and left.
Song Yaoyao wanted to send the 100 taels of silver notes to her eldest sister first, and then give her eldest brother's share when he came back in the evening. She would give her second brother's share when he came back from the military camp next time.
Although Song Yaoyao likes money, she believes that money belongs to whomever it belongs. She doesn't have the habit of hiding other people's money!
A gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way!
She even disdains to do such shameful things!
What's more, these 300 taels are for her family, so Song Yaoyao would never do that!
Mrs. Song looked at Song Yaoyao's leaving back and shook her head.
This child already has several thousand taels of silver notes in her hands, I can’t give her any more!
Mrs. Song will not waste the banknotes that Rong Ping and his wife sent today. She will save them all for Song Yaoyao and leave them as her dowry in the future!
