Volume 1 Chapter 10 Rich and Willful

When Yang saw the silver in the package, he subconsciously wanted to return the package to Yang Cong. However, she had just tied the package back, but hesitated again.

The reason is very simple, because her family is too short of money. Since the old man passed away, she and Yu Dayou have depended on each other for life and have lived a difficult life.

Originally, she could barely live with the life of a woman and Yu Dayou's meager salary. However, Yu Dayou had lofty ideals. He wanted to take the exam for martial arts and honor his family and ancestors. Moreover, he was indeed a versatile talent in civil and military affairs, so there was definitely no problem in martial arts and high school.

My son is so promising, so of course he needs to support him as a mother. Yu Dayou wants to take the martial arts exam, so she naturally supports him with all his strength.

Yu Dayou did not disappoint her either. Yu Dayou won the lead in the college entrance examination and the provincial examination. There must be no problem with the college entrance examination and high school.

The problem is that martial arts are costing money, not to mention anything else, just travel expenses and food and accommodation are a huge expense.

Yu Dayou went to the provincial capital to take the college entrance examination, and it took money to go to Nanjing to take the provincial examination. Naturally, she didn't want her son to sleep in the open on the road to the exam, and suffered a lot. Once in the provincial capital, she pieced together Yu Dayou and collected ten taels of silver. Once in Nanjing, she borrowed money everywhere and collected fifty taels of silver. After these two trips, their family directly owed a huge debt of more than fifty taels of silver!

This bag of silver is at least a hundred taels. If she accepts it, she will not only be able to pay off all the debts, but also keep dozens of taels. Although the money to go to Beijing to participate in the exam is a bit insufficient, it should be enough to marry a wife. Yu Dayou is almost thirty and hasn't gotten married yet, so she is anxious!

However, she is not a rich lady who doesn't know the world. As the saying goes, "If you don't have anything to do, you will be either traitor or steal." She suddenly gave more than a hundred taels of silver. There must be something wrong. She can't just collect it casually. If one is not good, it's not that she accepts her daughter-in-law, but that she harms her son.

She hesitated for a while, and walked to the lobby with the package, then put the package in front of Yang Cong with some reluctance, and said warmly: "Young Master Yang, your courtesy is too heavy, and I can't bear it."

Yang Cong didn't find it strange. He smiled and said, "Auntie, don't be so arrogant. You should call me Qingfeng. I came to visit you specifically. You didn't accept this little gift. How could I feel sorry for it?"

After saying that, he pushed the package to Yang again.

Although Yang was a little reluctant to give up, he still declined: "Qingfeng, your courtesy is so heavy that you can't accept it."

After saying that, she was going to push back again.

However, Yang Cong quickly raised his hand to block it, and then said stubbornly: "Auntie, you must accept this little gift."

Yang is so strange. Why did this Young Master Yang insist that 100 taels of silver is a tribute?

She couldn't help but say curiously: "Qingfeng, you're probably taking it wrong, there are more than one hundred taels of silver in it."

Yang Cong pretended to be naive and said, "That's right, it's one hundred taels of silver. What's the point of such a small amount of silver not being a small gift?"

"Ah!" Yang said in disbelief: "You really think that one hundred taels of silver is a gift!"

Yang Cong showed the unique expression of the rich children and said arrogantly: "Of course, aunt, you may not know yet. Our Hui'an Yang family is a famous wealthy businessman in Quanzhou. Not to mention too much property, there are still millions of taels. This hundred taels of silver is really nothing to my nephew. My nephew's pocket money is thousands of taels a month."

"Hiss!" Yang couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this. His family's property was million taels, and his pocket money was tens of thousands taels a month. This is a child of a wealthy family!

It seems that these hundred taels seem to be nothing to him, but he can't give someone 100 taels of silver for no reason.

Yang thought about it and simply asked directly: "Qingfeng, do you have something to ask Dayou for help?"

Yang Cong pretended to be scheming and said, "Yes, Brother Zhifu said last night that he wanted to help me. My nephew felt that it was not good to be helping me for nothing, so at least he had to pay some compensation. However, it was a shame to talk about money between the brothers, so I came to see you today. You said, "Isn't you smart?"

Yang couldn't help but smile when he heard this. This little guy is really cute.

However, it was her son who could not respond in a daze. She couldn't help but continue to tentatively: "What do you want Dayou to do for you?"

Yang Cong continued to pretend to be scheming and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. Chen Wenjie from Longxi Chen's family bullies his nephew. Brother Zhifu meant to beat up the Chen surname. The nephew thought that this enemy should be resolved rather than accomplice. As long as Brother Zhifu can go back with me to protect me for a while, then the Chen surname cannot always stay in Hui'an, right?"

So that's the case. In Yang's opinion, it's normal for children to fight. It seems that Qingfeng can't beat the Chen surname, so he asked Dayou to help.

This kind of thing is especially common among military households. Generally, children will not care much about fighting and they dare not fight. They will not dare to fight on the battlefield in the future. They only have one principle: don’t just cripple or kill people!

Now, Qingfeng is just asking Zhifu to help protect him. He is not fighting directly with others, what's the big deal?

Yang nodded without hesitation and said, "Qingfeng, someone bullies you. You said it earlier. I asked Dayou to help you, but let's forget about this money."

Yang Cong said stubbornly: "How can this be done? This is my first visit. You must accept this little gift."

This child doesn't treat money as money. Yang couldn't help but say curiously: "Qingfeng, you spend so much money, won't your parents be angry."

Angry, what's angry?

Is it okay to be rich and willful?

Yang Cong said in great Britain: "Auntie, don't worry, my father and mother just pay money, never care about how I spend it. By the way, I can't ask Brother Zhifu for help in vain. Do you think this is OK? Brother Zhifu goes to Hui'an with me. I will pay 100 taels of silver in a month."

One hundred taels a month!

When Yang heard this, he was stunned. This was even higher than the salary of a thousand households in the official position!

Where can I find such a good job?

She hesitated for a while before she hesitated: "This, this, I can't make the decision, it depends on whether Dayou has time."

This makes me feel moved. The heat is almost done. Yang Cong hits the railway while it is hot: "Why don't you do this? Today, my nephew will stay for lunch. I heard from Brother Zhifu that the fish, meat and chicken here are delicious. He is drooling when he talks. Why don't you ask Brother Zhifu to come back and let's make a decision while eating?"

When Yang heard this, his heart hurt. She couldn't remember how long she hadn't cooked meat for Yu Dayou. Thinking about her poor son, her heart was almost bleeding.

She looked at the package on the table and hesitated: "Why don't you get old and have someone buy some wine and meat, and then ask Shifu to come back?"

Yang Cong nodded carelessly and said, "Okay, monkey, go and get another hundred taels of silver. Today I will have a good meal at my aunt's house."

When Hou Zhitan heard this, he bowed and said yes, turned around and walked out.

I'll get one hundred taels!

Yang just wanted to get some money from the hundred taels given by Yang Cong, but she didn't want Yang Cong to pay for the money again.

This is not possible. One hundred taels are enough. She quickly raised her hand and said, "Uh, uh, no, a meal won't cost so much money."

One hundred taels, buying a few pigs or even a few ponds of fish is enough, how can you spend so much money for a meal?

Yang Cong didn't care at all. After Hou Zhitan ran in with one hundred taels of silver, he stuffed the silver into Yang's arms without hesitation, and said with great wealth: "Auntie, you can buy it. My nephew wants to taste the delicious food that Brother Zhifu said."

Yang was surprised. This child is really a rich family. He spends only 100 taels of money, and he doesn't even blink his eyes.

She shook her head, opened the package, took out a silver ingot of ten taels, and smiled and said, "Qingfeng, ten taels are enough. The rest, please put away."

Yang Cong said stubbornly: "There is no reason to take back the money you took out. The rest will be regarded as your nephew and respect you. What do you want to eat? It's great to buy it yourself."
