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."
Daniu swallowed his saliva. It was rare for him to lie, so he was inexplicably nervous.
"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."
