After the old lady finished speaking, she took the lead and walked into the city gate.
She staggered slightly and Daya quickly came over to support her. “Grandma, slow down.”
On the way home, none of them spoke. They looked very depressed.
Even when they returned to Liufang Alley and entered the house, the old lady and the others were not energetic and did not want to do anything.
With Shu Yu’s departure, every one of them seemed to have lost their souls.
After some time, Lu Erbai wiped his face and said, “I’m going to the shop.”
With Yu gone, they should work even harder to earn money.
Madam Ruan thought so too. She looked up and washed her face. “I’m going to the tailor’s room too.”
Dahu had specially taken half a day off today, so there was no need to rush to school. But he still clenched his fists and said, “I, I’ll go do my homework.”
Sanya wanted to go too. The little girl ran in.
At this moment, Lu Erbai, who had entered the room to change his clothes, suddenly called out, “Mother, Mother, come in quickly.”
The old lady heard him shouting anxiously and hurried inside. “What are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry?”
The others followed him. As soon as they entered, they saw Lu Erbai holding a cloth bag and a letter.
“What happened?”
Lu Erbai handed over the cloth bag in a daze. “Mother, take a look.”
The old lady opened it suspiciously. She took a glance and quickly closed the cloth bag. “This, this…”
She quickly asked Dahu and Sanya, who had run in behind her, to go out first. Although the children at home were sensible, they were too young. If they accidentally said something, it would be easy for something to happen.
After the two children left, Lu Erbai said, “Yu left this behind. There’s also a letter here.”
The old lady took the letter and quickly remembered that she did not know how to read. She quickly handed it back. “Read it.”
Lu Erbai had learned quite a few words these days, and Shu Yu’s letter was written simply. He quickly read it.
After a while, he said, “Yu left this for us. She said that she got something good a few days ago and sold it, earning a lot of money. There are two thousand taels in this bag for emergency use.”
Two thousand taels?
Everyone present sucked in a cold breath. The old lady had only seen a lot of banknotes and silver coins in the bag just now, but she did not know the exact amount. Now that she heard so much, she almost fainted.
“She, how did she have so much silver?” Got something good? What kind of good thing was so expensive?
Shu Yu only wanted to put in 1,000 taels. To the Lu family, this money was enough.
The main thing was that she didn’t know when she would be back. She was afraid that if she didn’t return home after half a year, the Lu family would have some urgent matter that she couldn’t help.
However, after thinking about it, the old lady and the others all knew that she had a thousand taels of silver in her hands. If she left that much, the Lu family would think that she had left all the silver on her. They would be worried that she would not have any money to use on the road and let her imagination run wild.
Leaving two thousand taels of silver could also tell them that she had extra money on hand, or even a lot of it so that they did not have to worry about not having enough money to use on their journey.
As expected, the Lu family members looked at each other and felt that the silver was suddenly a little hot.
They never knew that their family was so…Rich.
The old lady hurriedly stuffed the money bag into Lu Erbai’s hands. “Put it away. Hide it well. Don’t tell anyone, and don’t tell anyone.”
