Chapter 304: Monthly Salary
Translator: 549690339
Di Yelei seemed very happy, with a naive smile on his face that never disappeared, as if waiting for praise.
Liu Sisi couldn’t bear to disappoint him, so she quickly put down the work in her hands, took the money bag, opened it, and then casually dumped it on the table: “What’s the matter? Isn’t your monthly salary one tael of silver per month? Could it be…”
Rolling around were not four big silver ingots!
When she saw the silver pouring out of the bag clearly, she couldn’t speak.
Each of the four silver ingots was fifty taels of silver, which made a total of 200 taels. There was also some small change on the side.
This…how many months of salary would that be equivalent to?
“Ye Lei, what’s going on?”
The first thing Liu Sisi did after regaining her composure was to ask Di Yelei.
Di Yelei had a smug look on his face: “Out of these taels of silver, 100 taels were rewarded by Heir Luo, and another 50 taels were rewarded by Prefecture Princess Luo. These taels of silver were distributed from the heads of the bandits on Heilong Mountain, and then averaged out. Each runner got one share, and I just took the one belonging to me. This small piece of silver is my actual monthly salary.”
He pointed to the smallest silver ingot inside.
“You all got one share?” Liu Sisi frowned.
“Yes, the situation was complicated at that time. Those brothers didn’t dare to monopolize it. In the end, they found this middle-of-the-road method, and everyone got a share.”
Di Yelei counted the silver, but what he didn’t say was that he got the largest share.
“Here, in total, is 221 taels of silver. Give it here! You hold on to it properly!”
“Today is indeed a good day. The bookstore also gave out our salary today.”
Liu Sisi smiled, got up, took out her own money bag, and placed it with Di Yelei’s: “What I got today, last month’s income, is 325 taels of silver.”
Together, that’s 546 taels of silver!
Di Yelei grabbed the two money bags in his hands, excited: “Including our original savings, don’t we have more than 555 taels to use?”
“Pfft! Look at how excited you are…We will have more and more silver in the future, don’t act like you’ve never seen silver before. Give it to me! I’ll keep this silver.”
As Liu Sisi was speaking, she hurriedly took both money bags.
Ever since five taels of silver were stolen last time, Liu Sisi carefully placed the silver in many different places to avoid encountering thieves again.
After carefully hiding them in several places, Liu Sisi finally turned back.
She took out the batch of jewelry that Madam Gan Senior had bestowed upon her today and recounted the process in detail.
In the end, Liu Sisi said with an exclamation: “I find it particularly strange that as a member of an official family, Madam Gan Senior should have no early gains. It makes no sense for Madam Gan Senior to find me, such a married woman! So I’m curious, what’s her real motive for doing this?”
Di Yelei held this batch of jewelry in his hand and checked it one by one, his eyebrows furrowed from beginning to end.
