Chapter 85

Chapter 85 Divide the money

He originally thought that his father would be like the one in his dream, and he felt that the emperor would not ignore their friendship for so many years and kill them all.

The man continued to tell Ouyang Ming the news he had learned.

Ouyang Ming nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that a dream is a dream after all, and the ending in the dream does not count.

He stayed to discuss the next plan with these people, and did not leave the house until evening.

After he left, the people in the yard also left intermittently, blending into the night, making it difficult to see where they were going.

By the time Jiang Zhiyue and the others, who had gone out to eat, returned to Mu Mansion, it was already mid-afternoon.

Although they were not at a loss for what just happened in the jewelry store, Mu Yingming still couldn't swallow this sigh of relief.

After he said goodbye to the Jiang family and his entourage, he left feeling angry.

Since Li Buran and his gangster friends dare to cause trouble, they must be prepared to be retaliated by him.

The Jiang family also went back to the guest house where they were arranged to pack their things.

Most of their things are still stored on bullock carts and pallet carts, they just need to organize what they have taken down in the past two days.

As for the things they bought outside today, they didn't throw away the uneaten ones, but put them away and planned to take them with them.

Because Jiang Yulai and Xiao Wang didn't go out this time, Liulang happily went to look for them with two bunches of candied haws on his hands as soon as he returned to the yard.

After getting pregnant, little Wang especially liked to eat sweet and sour things. She took the candied haws and started eating.

Rokuro next to him was dancing and talking about what happened after going out today.

Speaking of what happened in the jewelry store, Jiang Yulai regretted not being able to witness the excitement in person.

After dinner, the Jiang family and his wife told Mrs. Mu Qimu that they would be leaving tomorrow.

The two tried to persuade them to stay longer, but failed in the end.

But that night, Mu Qi and Mu Ping went to Mr. Jiang's room to send a thank you gift.

It was a thank-you gift from the Jiang family to Mu Ping and Mu Qiqi, father and daughter.

The Jiang family told them in advance that they would leave tomorrow in order to ask the Mu family to find someone to guide them.

They were placed in Guhuai Village, but they didn't know the specific location.

Mu Qi smiled and said: "Don't worry, old man, I will definitely arrange this well and send you all to Guhuai Village."

He continued: "If there is any need for me in the future, the old man can just ask, and the two of us brothers will be there without hesitation."

The two exchanged polite greetings before brothers Mu Qi and Mu Ping stood up and left.

The old man opened the box that Mu Qi sent and looked at it. It was also full of silver, with a few banknotes pressed underneath.

He took it out and looked at it. The denominations were all five hundred taels.

This was the first time that the old man saw a banknote. He held it in his hand and looked at it curiously for a long time, and then placed the banknote and the silver exactly in the wooden box.

After Mu Qi left, Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang looked at the box and discussed: "We came all the way from Guzhen (original place of residence), and we can't get all the money."

Mrs. Jiang glanced sideways at the old man and said, "Am I that kind of person?"

It just so happened that everyone was awake now. After the two of them made some plans, they asked Jiang Yuchao to call them all into this room.

There is this box on the table.

Everyone came to the house and asked with some confusion: "Dad, why did Nenwan call us here?"

Mr. Jiang directly opened the box on the table and let them see for themselves.

The white silver seemed to be shining, attracting everyone's attention at once.

Jiang Yulai looked at the silver and said in surprise: "Hey, dad, where did you get so much silver?"

Mr. Jiang said: "It was just sent by Doctor Bai and his eldest brother. He said it was a thank you gift for bringing Doctor Mu and that girl Qiqi here safely."

"The old lady and I thought that our family couldn't take all the money, so we called you all over and divided the money well to avoid any grudges in the future."

In addition to the Jiang family, those present were none other than Mr. Jiang Kangde, four members of the Wang family, two brothers and sisters Ming Yuanqing, Bai Yifeng and Zhang Xiaoyan.

Since Ouyang Ming hasn't come back yet, he is gone.

They looked at me and I looked at you, and they all felt that they couldn't keep the money.

They all know how they arrived here safely and how their life on the road was more comfortable than at home.

So they can’t take this money!

Mr. Jiang Kangde said: "I haven't done anything on this journey, so I can't take any money."

Brothers and sisters Zhang Xiaoyan, Ming Yixi and Ming Yuanqing naturally don't want them either.

The remaining four members of the Wang family looked at each other and finally said, "The government has already given us a resettlement fee of five taels of silver per person."

"This money is enough for us to spend a lot of time. When we settle down and find a job, we will definitely have more and more money in our hands, so you can take the money with peace of mind."

Mr. Jiang raised his eyebrows and said, "It depends on what you are talking about. You don't need money to build a house or buy fields in the village."

A group of people argued for a long time before making the final decision.

The total amount of silver sent by Mu Qi was 1,110 taels, including two 500 taels of silver notes and the other 100 taels of silver ingots.

Ming Yixi, Ming Yuanqing, brother and sister Zhang Xiaoyan did not get any money.

Mr. Jiang Kangde will live with the Jiang family from now on, but he was also given five taels of silver in his pocket.

That guy Bai Yifeng didn't pay them either, and even gave them protection money along the way.

He gave the Wang family three hundred taels of silver, but they refused to take any more.

The second and third bedrooms of the Jiang family's eldest house were also given ten taels of silver each, which are regarded as private property of the younger family.

The remaining silver will continue to be held by Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang.

After dividing the money, everyone left Mr. Jiang's house.

As for the fact that Ouyang Ming has not come back yet, no one asked much.

In the dead of night, everyone fell asleep.

Jiang Zhiyue, who was just about to fall asleep, heard a slight noise coming from the yard and opened her eyes keenly.

Hearing the footsteps coming towards her, Jiang Zhiyue became defensive.

But the footsteps stopped in front of her door, stayed for a moment, then turned and left.

Jiang Zhiyue walked to the door softly and opened it.

Outside the door was Ouyang Ming, dressed in coarse linen clothes.

Hearing the movement behind him, he turned his head again.

Jiang Zhiyue looked at Ouyang Ming, whose hair was soaked with water mist, and wondered how long he had been outside.

She asked softly: "Why did you come back so late?"

She just asked politely and casually, but Ouyang Ming answered her very seriously: "I went out to meet with some subordinates to discuss some things."

Jiang Zhiyue hummed softly and asked, "We are leaving tomorrow. Will you follow us back or stay here?"
