Chapter 516: Chapter 516 Raising Money

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

From what youre saying, does it mean there are quite a number of things that have been stolen?

Yes, all the valuable things in the residence are gone; not even a single silver was left.

If it werent for the fact that they didnt take a fancy to the food in the residence, we probably wouldnt even be able to eat. Yang Wanning pointed to her head and said, Did you notice anything missing from my head? Even the jewelry has been stolen clean, so I can only comb my hair with a pearl flower comb that I had when 1 was young.

Woah, how much hatred does this robber have toward your family?

Im not sure, but everything about this matter is just strange. Normally, there should be some movement when thieves steal so much of our stuff, but I didnt hear any movement at all.

Now, many people are suspecting that our residence has provoked some dirty things.

Cough cough, the ghost doesnt need money; it would prefer taking your lives.

Thats true, but you dont know how terrible my fathers face is now. His face is basically as green as you can get, and his knees were even wobbling.

At that moment, s.h.i.+zhu walked in with a bowl of soup noodles. Zhou Ying asked Yang Wanning, Have you eaten?

Yes, the thieves didnt steal the food at home. Yang Wanning replied.

Alright, I will start eating then. Zhou Ying then lowered her head and started eating her bowl of noodles.

Lets go. Ill bring you to buy two sets of jewelry.

No need. If I bring any jewelry back, itll just be confiscated. I think its enough to continue using my pearl flower comb.Yang Wanning shook her head.

Alright, then take some of this change. At least you have some money when you need it. Zhou Ying handed her a purse after that.

There wasnt much silver inside. It was all bits and pieces, adding up to at most twenty taels.

Thank you, sister. Yang Wanning took the purse and handed it to Chunzi.

Later, the two of them went to the backyard to continue learning self-defense.

On the other side, Yang s.h.i.+cheng finally opened the city gates under pressure after running for six hours without discovering any clues.

He returned home in a daze.

After entering the door, he blacked out.

Seeing this, the servant at the door jumped in fright and quickly shouted, Master, Master! Are you alright?

Yang s.h.i.+cheng did not respond even after the servant shouted for a long time.

Only when the two servants began to carry him did Yang s.h.i.+cheng slowly open his eyes.

However, there seemed to be something stuck in his throat. He couldnt say a word, and his eyes kept rolling back.

When the two servants saw this, they were so frightened that they immediately got someone to carry a rack over. One servant sent him to the main courtyard, while the other guarded the door.

When Mrs. Cui saw Yang s.h.i.+cheng being carried back, she was so scared that her legs went weak. She quickly asked the servants what had happened.

After getting an answer, Mrs. Cui more or less understood what had happened to Yang s.h.i.+cheng and immediately sent someone to find a doctor.

After the doctor came, he performed acupuncture on Yang s.h.i.+cheng and gave him a prescription before waiting by his side.

After that, Mrs. Cui only realized she needed to pay for his medical expenses. At that moment, the Yang family was so poor that they didnt even have a single copper coin. She said, Doctor, do you mind if we pay in one settlement when the servants go over to get the medicine?

Alright. The doctor didnt overthink it. After all, a second-grade official wouldnt go so far as to avoid paying for his consultation fee.

After she left, Mrs. Cui gathered the servants in the residence and said, I wont say much about the situation that had happened.

I heard that your silver wasnt stolen.

Now, I need you to take out some of your silver to aid our situation.

Of course, I wont take it for free.

When we get through this, 1 will pay you back double.

After saying that, she called the butler over and said, Record in detail who paid how much.

Yes, Madam. The butler responded and took out 20 taels himself.

Since everyone saw that even the butler had offered some of his money, they had no choice but to offer some of theirs.

Of course, there were also those who got greedy about the promise of doubling the amount of their silver and handed over everything they had..
