Chapter 375: Let's Split It
Chapter 375: Let's Split It "What's the other surprise?" Da Niu asked in astonishment. Shu Yu quietly took out the banknotes and said, "In addition to the thirty taels, we were given an additional twenty taels as compensation for our hard work." Da Niu couldn't help but widen his eyes as he looked at the fifty taels of silver, feeling slightly excited. Shu Yu said, "The thirty taels are for the room fee, and we'll split the remaining twenty taels between the two of us." Da Niu was taken aback and immediately shook his head. "No need, you can keep the money." "How can that be? You contributed a lot this time. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know my Fourth Uncle. I might have mistaken him for a perverted voyeur hiding in the women's restroom and handed him over to the black market right away. By that time, it would have been too late. So, let's split the money, half for each of us." "But... this money is too much." Da Niu frowned, feeling hesitant. "Actually, speaking of hardships and suffering, and who deserves the most credit, it's Fourth Uncle. How about giving my share to Fourth Uncle?" Ten taels of silver, for Da Niu, was a considerable amount of money. To earn it in just one day? It seemed unrealistic even when he had witnessed numerous transactions involving thousands and tens of thousands of silver coins at the black market. But when he returned to reality, ten taels of silver was no small sum. Shu Yu couldn't help but pat him and said, " Brother Da Niu, why are you so sincere? This is compensation for our efforts. Fourth Uncle will receive a separate reward from the higher-ups. They haven't decided what it will be yet. But rest assured, Fourth Uncle will definitely receive more than both of us combined. Trust me, they won't mistreat someone who has made such significant contributions." Da Niu immediately became happy. "Really?" "Of course, do you think I would lie to you?" Da Niu could only smile sheepishly. He really hadn't thought about it from that angle. Shu Yu collected the entire fifty taels of silver and took out ten taels of loose silver to give to Da Niu. "This is your share. Keep this silver safe. I know you won't keep all ten taels for yourself. But I suggest you give about three or four taels to your mother. You can save the rest for yourself." Da Niu looked up, gazing at the silver in his hand, and after a while, he said, "I understand what you mean." "You understand? That's good. You're getting married soon, so it's better to have some money on hand for convenience. Only the two of us know about this compensation. I haven't even told my mother. You shouldn't tell anyone either. Keep the money safe and don't let anyone find out." Da Niu smiled wryly. He wasn't foolishly filial and had saved some silver over the years. But when added up, it was nothing compared to what he held in his hand now. He suddenly understood why Third Uncle always followed Shu Yu around. Shu Yu had an incredible ability to make money. Last time, it was Third Uncle who received ten taels of silver, and this time, it was him. He felt that Shu Yu was probably the incarnation of the Goddess of Wealth, as her ability to make money was exceptionally formidable. Da Niu carefully put away the money and said solemnly, "I got it, Ah Yu. Thank you." "This is your own credit. Why are you thanking me?" Shu Yu patted his shoulder and happily walked back to her room. When she came out again, familiar voices could be heard outside the courtyard gate. Soon after, the gate was pushed open, and three figures entered—two adults and one child. Leading the way was Da Hu, dressed in a school uniform and carrying a school bag. The little guy was very happy and excitedly ran into the house. "Second Sister, I'm back from school."
