Chapter 372 - 372: Crying About Being Poor

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio   Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Xiang Weinan suddenly had a bad feeling. “So…”

“Lord, you should know that our family is not rich. Thinking back to a month ago, my parents didn’t even have enough to eat. It wasn’t easy for me to use all my savings to open that ready-to-wear clothes shop. There wasn’t much business for many days, and our family was extremely poor. That 30 taels (monetary) of private room fee is too expensive. It’s almost all of our family’s savings.”

As Shu Yu spoke, she couldn’t help but sigh. “But we had no choice at that time. To get that painting, even if we had to go bankrupt, I had to do it, right?

But this way, I’ll be penniless. I don’t know if my parents will beat me to death when I return.’

The veins on Xiang Weinan’s forehead throbbed.

Seeing that her words were getting more and more intense, Xiang Weinan could no longer bear it and called out to Hu Li, “Go get fifty taels (monetary) of silver for Lady Lu.”

When Shu Yu heard this, she immediately stopped nagging.

“Lord is indeed righteous and doesn’t take a penny from the commoners. You can be called a model of noble conduct and integrity.”

Xiang Weinan did not have much contact with Shu Yu before. This was the first time he knew that she was so eloquent.

He didn’t know how Meng Yunzheng could stand her.

Xiang Weinan took the fifty taels (monetary) of silver and pushed it in front of her, saying, “Thirty taels of silver is the private room fee. There are still twenty taels left. Take it as your compensation for your hard work today.” Hard work fee… Just twenty taels (monetary)?

Shu Yu’s eyes revealed a trace of disdain, but her hands quickly put away the

sliver notes.

Xiang Weinan almost vomited blood from her gaze. “Twenty taels (monetary) is not a small amount. Don’t think that I’m the leader of Jiangyuan County. But I haven’t been here for long. I don’t have any foundation in the county, nor do I have any connections. If I want to do something, 1 have to spend money. It hasn’t been long, and my entire county office is about to be emptied.

It’s not easy for me to be an official.”

Shu Yu chuckled and resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Was this learning on the spot? She had just finished singing, and now it was her turn to cry.

Forget it, isn’t this fifty taels (monetary) of silver a budget? Can’t you report it to the higher-ups and ask them to reimburse you? This evidence is so important. Without us, if you ask others to spend so much effort to find it, it will cost more than 50 taels (monetary).

However, she should stop while she was ahead. She didn’t want to take much money Xiang Weinan.

Shu Yu put away the silver notes and nodded. “Alright, I understand. It’s fine if the hard work is less. Who asked me to be so kind?”

Seeing that Daniu had returned and was walking over, Shu Yu stood up.

Aunt and Uncle should have said enough. If they didn’t go back soon, the family would be worried.

She said goodbye to Xiang Weinan. “Since there’s nothing else here, I’ll bring my aunt and the others home first. If there’s anything, Lord Xiang can send someone to look for us.’

“Alright.” Xiang Weinan said, “Tell your family what they should say and what they shouldn’t say. Don’t tell anyone. Even if it’s for their safety, it’s best to keep the black market in their hearts.”

“l understand.” Shu Yu turned around and left.

However, after taking a few steps, she suddenly thought of something and turned her head.. “Oh right, wasn’t Lord Xiang unable to decide what to reward my uncle with? Do you want to listen to my suggestion?”
