Chapter 408: Repaying the Debt to Shu Yu
"Have you heard? Who told you?" Yuan Shanchuan couldn't help but look at Shu Yu, who popped a candy into her mouth and then stood up to see Hu Li and his companion off.
Village Chief Chen and Fan Zhong had also had a few drinks and were leaving together.
Soon, only family members were left in the main hall. Yuan Shanchuan hesitated before opening the purse, which contained several pieces of silver.
Roughly estimating, there were about seven to eight taels of silver.
Yuan Shanchuan widened his eyes in astonishment. This was... too much compensation.
When he was evading and hiding with that painting, he did indeed use up all the money he had on him, but at that time, he only had a few hundred wen in total.
To think that the higher-ups would compensate him so generously.
Shu Yu said, "You were injured, so it's only right to compensate you. You almost lost your life. It wouldn't be fair if you suffered so much for nothing, right?"
Beside them, Lu Dasong nodded repeatedly. "That's right, that's right. Accept it. It's a way to repay the higher-ups for your hard work when you start your job."
Yuan Shanchuan smiled and didn't refuse.
However, he quickly glanced at Lu Sixing, who smiled faintly.
Yuan Shanchuan handed the purse to Shu Yu and said, "Ah Yu, I borrowed ten taels of silver from you yesterday. I don't have the full amount here yet, but since I have some now, I'll repay you. I'll give you the rest when I receive my wages after starting work."
Shu Yu didn't decline and accepted the purse. "Alright then, I'll look forward to seeing Fourth Uncle thrive soon."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Li Shi and Liang Shi sat on the side, their eyes burning with jealousy.
But in the end, Shu Yu still took out one tael of silver and gave it to Lu Sixing. With a family of four to support, especially when they would likely have to rent a house in the county in a few days, this money wouldn't be enough.
The rain had stopped, and matters on Yuan Shanchuan's side had been settled. Shu Yu planned to return to the county.
"I didn't go back yesterday, so grandmother and the others probably still don't know the situation. I'll leave now so I can explain things to them and put their minds at ease."
Liang Shi also needed to go back. She wasn't particularly concerned about Lu Sanzhu and the two children, but mainly because if she didn't go back, she couldn't make doll clothes and wouldn't earn any money.
The two of them tidied up and prepared to set off.
As they watched Shu Yu pull out the mule cart, Da Niu hurriedly approached and asked, "What about Yuan Laoda...?"
"I'll keep an eye on things. Don't worry, after today's incident and it being already mid-afternoon, I don't think they have any intention to go to the county. At the very least, they'll wait until tomorrow."
Da Niu nodded and didn't say much more.
Shu Yu got on the mule cart, bid farewell to the others, and headed straight to the county with Liang Shi.
However, halfway through the journey, it started raining again.
Shu Yu urged the cart forward, although she was wearing a raincoat, the rain was coming at an angle, and by the time they arrived in the county, she was still drenched.
As soon as she entered the house, she quickly took a bath and changed into dry clothes.
After tidying up, she walked out of the house. Liang Shi had already been sitting in the main hall, explaining the events of the past two days to the old lady.
While sitting in the mule cart, she didn't get wet at all, but her mouth was dry from talking so much.
The old lady sat there and scolded the Yuan family to the point of cursing their ancestors for several generations. Then, she started gloating, saying they deserved it. How could they have kicked out their most promising son? They were truly muddle-headed.
Liang Shi nodded repeatedly beside her, sipping tea and joining in the scolding, without any intention of getting up and going home.
Since it was already this late, she planned to stay and have a free meal.
