It was already mid-afternoon by the time Shen Yuyu and his group returned to Baifu after going out to eat.
Although they were not at a loss for what just happened in the jewelry store, Bai Mingxi still couldn't swallow this sigh of relief.
After he said goodbye to the Shen family and his entourage, he left feeling angry.
Since Meng Jianhua and his gangster friends dare to cause trouble, they must be prepared to be retaliated by him.
The Shen 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 neither Shen Yun nor Xiao Zhang went out this time, Liu Lang happily went to look for them with two bunches of candied haws on his hands as soon as he returned to the yard.
After becoming pregnant, Mrs. Zhang especially liked to eat sweet and sour things. She took the candied haws and ate them.
Rokuro next to him was dancing and talking about what happened after going out today.
Speaking of what happened in the jewelry store, Shen Yun was quite regretful that he could not witness the excitement in person.
After dinner, the Shen family told Bai Ji and Mrs. Bai about their departure tomorrow.
The two tried to persuade them to stay longer, but failed in the end.
But that night Bai Ji and Bai Wu went to Mr. Shen's room to give them a thank you gift.
It was a thank-you gift from the Shen family to Bai Wu and Bai Miaoqing, father and daughter.
The Shen family told them in advance that they would leave tomorrow in order to ask the Bai family to find someone to guide them.
They were placed in Longxian Village, but they didn't know the specific location.
Bai Ji smiled and said, "Don't worry, old man. I will definitely arrange this well and send you all to Longxian Village."
He continued: "If there is any need for me, Bai, in the future, the old man can just ask, and we two brothers will be there without hesitation."
The two of them exchanged polite greetings before brothers Bai Ji and Bai Wu stood up and left.
The old man opened the box Bai Ji sent and looked at it. It was also full of silver, with a few banknotes underneath.
He took it out and looked at it. The denominations were all five hundred taels.
This was the first time the old man saw a banknote. He held it in his hand and looked at it curiously for a long time, and then put the banknote and the silver exactly in the wooden box.
After Bai Ji left, Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen looked at the box and discussed: "We came all the way from Xing'an Town (original place of residence) to this place. We can't get all the money."
Mrs. Shen glanced at the old man sideways 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 Shen Rong and the others to call everyone 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. Shen directly opened the box on the table and let them see it for themselves.
The white silver seemed to be shining, attracting everyone's attention at once.
Chen Yun looked at the silver and said in surprise: "Hey, dad, where did you get so much silver?"
Mr. Shen said: "It was sent by Dr. Bai and his elder brother just now. He said it was a thank you gift for bringing Dr. Bai and Miaoqing 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 Shen family, those present were none other than Mr. Shen Xingwang, four members of the Zhang family, two brothers and sisters, Hualing, Ji Xun and Song Xiaoni.
Fei Yanche hasn't come back yet, so there is no him.
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. Shen Xingwang said: "I have done nothing on this journey, so I can't take any money."
Song Xiaoni and Hua Nan Hualing, brother and sister, naturally don't want it either.
The remaining four members of the Zhang 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. Shen 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 Bai Ji was 1,110 taels, including two 500 taels of silver notes and the other 100 taels of silver ingots.
Brother and sister Hua Nan, Hua Ling and Song Xiaoni did not get any money.
Mr. Shen Xingwang will live with the Shen family from now on, but he was also given five taels of silver to put in his pocket.
That guy Ji Xun didn't pay them either, and even gave them protection money along the way.
I gave the Zhang family three hundred taels of silver, but they refused to take any more.
The second and third bedrooms of the Shen 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. Shen and Mrs. Shen.
After dividing the money, everyone left Mr. Shen's house.
As for the fact that Fei Yanche hasn't come back yet, no one asked much.
In the dead of night, everyone fell asleep.
Shen Yuyu, who was just about to fall asleep, heard a slight noise coming from the yard and opened his eyes keenly.
Hearing the footsteps coming towards her, Shen Yuyu became on guard.
But the footsteps stopped in front of her door, stayed for a moment, then turned and left.
Shen Yuyu walked to the door softly and opened it.
Outside the door was Fei Yanche, dressed in coarse linen clothes.
Hearing the movement behind him, he turned his head again.
Shen Yuyu looked at Fei Yanche, 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 Fei Yanche answered her very seriously: "I went out to meet with a few subordinates to discuss some things."
Shen Yuyu hummed softly and asked, "We are leaving tomorrow. Will you follow us back or stay here?"
