Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Madam Li could not help but widen her eyes, unable to shift her gaze away.
After a long while, she slowly raised her head and looked at Daniu. She asked, “This, where did this silver come from?”
“Mother, actually I didn’t come back yesterday because I went to help look for Fourth Uncle. Fourth Uncle had encountered some trouble, so his whereabouts were unknown. Yu found some clues and brought me along. After we found him, Yu and I sent him to the county office. After the adults investigated thoroughly and found out that Fourth Uncle’s crime was a misunderstanding, they released the Yuan Family and Fourth Aunt.”

“After that, the Lord found out that we had spent an entire day looking for someone, so he rewarded us with five taels (monetary) of silver. Yu didn’t take it and said that I was the one who worked hard to drive the carriage, so she gave me all five taels (monetary) of silver.”
When Madam Li heard this, she became slightly excited. “She…she gave it all to you?”
“Yes, Yu is kind, but I feel uneasy holding all of them. However, Yu insisted, so I had no choice. So I took out a tael of silver and thought that if I saw anything delicious or fun later, I would buy it for her. As for the remaining four taels (monetary) of silver, Mother, keep it and improve the food at home.’
As he spoke, Daniu stuffed everything into Madam Li’s arms.
Madam Li e s eyes were so excited that they were slightly red. Four taels (monetary) of silver. She had gone out for a day and brought back so much silver. She was really rich.
Seeing that she was happy, Daniu continued, “Mother, look, Yu treats me quite well, right? The main credit for this matter was Yu. She just found someone to drive the carriage. She could find anyone. This silver was originally given to
Yu by the Lord. She didn’t want a single cent. She only said that finding Fourth Uncle and saving Fourth Aunt was a great thing. She gave all the silver to me, so don’t misunderstand her. She didn’t just take care of Third Uncle. When she found an opportunity, she also thought of us.”
Madam Li laughed dryly. Five taels of silver was not a small amount, but Old Third Lu had received ten taels of silver back then.

Madam Li felt a little better and said with a smile, “Alright, alright. I won’t misunderstand her, alright?”
Daniu heaved a sigh of relief. “Mother, how about we send Fourth Uncle to Daxu Village now?”
Madam Li was still not very happy, but thinking about her man’s personality and looking at the four taels (monetary) of silver in her hand, she finally said unwillingly,” Forget it. You guys won’t listen to me anyway. Don’t turn around and become brothers and nephews while I become the villain. If you want to go, then go. However, you have to be careful. Don’t be like last time when your father’s face was scratched.’
“Mother, don’t worry, we will be careful.”
“Don’t just talk about it. The two of you will rush to the front. You don’t know what the Yuan family has been doing these days. They’ve accumulated anger. They’ll go crazy when they see Yuan Shanchuan come back. As for you, let Yu rush to the front. She has martial arts, so she’s not afraid.’
Daniu hurriedly asked, “What did they do?”
Madame Li pursed her lips. The two elders and three brothers of the Yuan family had only arrived home last night, so she still did not know that they had been released.
However, the Yuan family still had three daughters-in-law. In the past three days, they had been talking badly about the fourth branch of the Yuan family..
