After all that was settled, Shu Yu finally sat down next to the old lady and take out the ten taels of silver.

Lu Sanzhu’s eyes suddenly lit up. He gulped and wanted nothing more than to grab the banknotes.

Shu Yu said, “The money was given to Third Uncle by those three young masters. I was afraid that Third Uncle would use it carelessly, so I took it first.”

Lu Sanzhu immediately shook his head, “I won’t.”

Shu Yu chuckled and ignored him. She continued to speak to the old lady, “Grandmother, how about we give the money to Third Aunt for safekeeping?”

The old lady nodded, “It should indeed be given to Madam Liang. Although she’s lazy and useless, she is good at saving money. We don’t have to worry about her using this money to support her maternal family either.”

For this reason alone, the old lady was very impressed with Madam Liang.

If one said her third son’s family wasn’t rich, how could Dabao be raised to be fair and fat? But if one said that they were rich, they claimed to be poor every day and were reluctant to change torn clothes. When they saw food, it was as if they hadn’t eaten in their previous life.

Later on, the old lady finally understood. Since Madam Lang couldn’t take advantage of her mother-in-law, she went elsewhere to take advantage of others.

She would go back to her parent’s home to cry about her poor life and complain to her brothers and sisters. Either way, she never came home empty-handed.

From time to time, she would leave her son at her mother’s house, saying that she was busy, thus asking them to help take care of him for a few days.

Just like today, while the couple was here in the county, Dabao and Baoya had been left at Madam Liang’s parent’s home.

As a result, not only would the family have to be responsible for the two children’s food and drink, but the children might be staying over.

Therefore, Madam Liang was very good at saving money. If the money was given to her, the old lady could be at ease that she would not spend it carelessly.

Shu Yu nodded and looked at Lu Sanzhu, “Third Uncle, what do you think?” Lu Sanzhu had thought that he wouldn’t be able to get the money back. Now that he heard that it was going to be managed by his wife, he naturally had no objections.

“Sure, sure. My wife is in charge of the family anyway.”

“However…” Shu Yu suddenly added, “You and Eldest Uncle have been living independently for so many years. Logically speaking, you should give a sum of retirement money to Grandma every year. Eldest Uncle has always been sending the money over on time, but you…”

Lu Sanzhu’s scalp felt numb. It was already good enough that he didn’t take money from the old lady. He really hadn’t given her any retirement money.

Shu Yu smiled, “So, it shouldn’t be a problem to take two taels as compensation for Grandma’s retirement money, right?”

Lu Sanzhu heaved a sigh of relief. It was just two taels, no problem.

“Of course. I won’t just pay these two taels. In the future, when I get my salary, I will pay Mother on time every month.”

In front of Shu Yu, he had always been a good person.

This time, not only was the old lady surprised, even Daya and Lanhua felt as if they didn’t know Lu Sanzhu.

Shu Yu nodded, “Also, the money for the gifts for Officer Hu and Scholar Tang has to come from this sum too.

“That is only right.”

Thus, Shu Yu took three taels and have the remaining seven taels to Madam Liang who walked out of the kitchen.

Madam Liang hadn’t heard what they were saying just now. When such a huge sum of money suddenly appeared in front of her, she almost shattered the bowl of ginger soup in her hand.

After listening to the entire story from Lu Sanzhu, she was extremely excited.

Previously, when Shu Yu had mentioned how Lu Sanzhu had fallen into the water, she had also mentioned that the other party had given him money as compensation, but she had not mentioned the exact amount.

Madam Liang thought that it was just a little bit. Besides, since Shu Yu was the one who got the money, she must have taken it.

Who knew that Shu Yu would give them the money?

Seven taels! How long had it been since she had seen so much money?

They were rich!
