Chapter 381: Da Niu's Lie
Chapter 381: Da Niu's Lie
Li Shi couldn't help but widen her eyes, her gaze unable to shift away. After a while, she slowly lifted her head and looked at Da Niu, asking, "Where did this silver come from?" "Mother, actually I didn't come back yesterday. I went to help find Fourth Uncle. Fourth Uncle ran into some trouble and had been missing. It was Ah Yu who found a clue and took me along. After finding him, Ah Yu and I took him to the county yamen. Once the officials investigated and realized it was a misunderstanding that Fourth Uncle committed a crime, they released Yuan's family and Fourth Aunt." Da Niu swallowed, feeling nervous because he rarely told lies for no reason. "Later on, the officials learned that we had been searching for a whole day and it was really difficult. So they rewarded us with five taels of silver. Ah Yu didn't want any and said that since I was the one who worked hard driving the cart, I should have the entire five taels of silver." Upon hearing this, Li Shi started to feel excited. "She gave it all to you?" "Yes, Ah Yu is generous, but I felt uneasy taking it all. However, she insisted and I had no choice, so I took out one tael of silver, thinking that when I come across something good or fun, I could buy it and give it to her. As for the remaining four taels of silver, Mother, you keep it and use it to improve our meals." Saying that, Da Niu stuffed all the silver into Li Shi's embrace. Li Shi's eyes slightly reddened with excitement. Four taels of silver! Just by going out for a day, they had obtained so much silver. It was like striking it rich. Seeing her happiness, Da Niu continued, "Mother, you see how good Ah Yu is to me, right? Actually, the main credit for this incident goes to her. She only found someone to drive the cart, and anyone could have done it. The silver was originally meant for Ah Yu, but she didn't want any of it. She said that finding Fourth Uncle and saving Fourth Aunt was already a great thing, so she gave all the silver to me. Don't misunderstand her, she's not only taking care of Third Uncle, but when she finds an opportunity, she also thinks about us." Li Shi forced a dry laugh. Five taels of silver was not a small amount, but Old Sanzhu received ten taels back then. However, upon further thought, Lu Sanzhu paid a great price too. Compared to driving a mule cart, he nearly drowned underwater. Li Shi found some balance in her heart and smiled, saying, "Alright, alright, I won't misunderstand her, alright?" Da Niu breathed a sigh of relief. "Mother, shall we go now and take Fourth Uncle to Da Xu Village?" Li Shi still felt somewhat reluctant, but considering her husband's temperament and looking at the four taels of silver in her hands, she ultimately unwillingly said, "Fine, since you don't listen to me anyway. But be careful, don't become righteous and loyal brothers, while I become the villain. If you're going, then go, but be careful, don't end up like last time when your father's face was scratched." "Mother, rest assured, we'll be careful." "Don't just say it with your mouth, you and your father always rush to the front. Don't you know what those people from the Yuan family have been doing these days? After a few days, accumulated anger will explode when they see Yuan Shanchuan return. As for you, you let Ah Yu take the lead since she's capable, and she's not afraid." Da Niu quickly asked, "What have they been doing?" Li Shi pursed her lips. The Yuan family's two elders and Third Brother only returned home last night, so she didn't know about them being released yet. But the Yuan family still had three daughters-in-law, and they had been bad-mouthing Fourth sister-in-law for the past three days. Special thanks to these patrons for their support!!!
