What they didn’t know was that an old lady, who had come to the town for business and was passing by the market on her way back to the village, saw them not long after they left.

This old lady was a famous gossiper in Locust Village. Once she recognized Xue Dafu, she was speechless. “Oh my, that’s Dafu. Why is he pulling a bear? That must be the blind bear.”

When the person at the market’s entrance heard this, he laughed and replied, “It’s a blind bear. It was sold for a hundred silver to Lakshimi Restaurant. ”

“A hundred what?!” Wang Sufen’s eyes almost popped out. Then, she only knew, “Oh my…”

Then, she quickly left the town and went home. She wanted to go back to the village and tell everyone that she was rich!

When they arrived at Lakshimi Restaurant, the blind bear didn’t come in from the front door. Instead, it went around to the back door.

Innkeeper Qiao was quite meticulous. Considering that Xue Dafu and the others were farmers, he didn’t give them a hundred silver directly but gave them 90 silver and100 coins.

“Thank you.” Xue Dafu and the others all thanked him.

“I still have some matters to attend to, so I won’t be seeing you off. If you have more of such big items in the future, feel free to send them to me,” Innkeeper Qiao said with a smile.

Xue Dafu and the others felt dizzy with so much money. Their brains were already spinning, and they didn’t know how to answer that their Xue Wufu wouldn’t be hunting anymore. They could only subconsciously reply, “Alright, alright, alright.”

Xue Dafu and the others stood outside the restaurant’s back door, next to the ox cart, still in a daze as if they were in a dream.

Jiang Yue waited for a while, and when she saw that the three of them were still like this, she called out, “It’s time to go back.”

Xue Dafu and the others suddenly came to their senses.

“Yes, yes, yes. Let’s go back. It’ll be dark when we get home if we don’t go back now.” With that, Xue Dafu gave Xue Yifu fifty silver and had Xue Erfu help him take the other fifty taels. “In any case, I can’t keep my things properly. Don’t lose them. It’s so much money. If we lose them, my heart will ache to death. You guys take it, take it. Keep it well.”

“Okay.” Xue Erfu and Xue Yifu agreed. They were also used to their father not having much money on him because he could not keep things well and was afraid of losing them.

“Jiang Yue,” Xue Dafu bent over and asked Jiang Yue, “Is there anything you want to eat? Should I buy it for you? It’s all thanks to you that our family already has a hundred silver today.”

“Yes, yes.” Xue Yifu and Xue Erfu agreed and laughed so hard that their teeth could be seen. If it wasn’t for Jiang Yue’s insistence, it wouldn’t have been 100 silver in the end.

“I don’t have anything I want to eat,” Jiang Yue replied.

“You’re too sensible.” Xue Dafu’s heart ached. “Let’s go, we’ll see if there’s anyone selling tanghulu on the road. Since we’re in town, we have to buy you a stick. Buy one for your Xue Yan as well. If he didn’t tell us, we wouldn’t have known that this bear is worth at least eighty silver.”

Jiang Yue wanted to say that she didn’t want to eat tanghulu as it was for children, but Xue Dafu was determined to buy it for her. The more she said no, the more he felt sorry for her, so she gave up.

Xue Dafu walked in front of Jiang Yue.

Xue Yifu and Xue Erfu led the ox cart and walked behind.

“Erfu, you’re right.” Xue Dafu suddenly turned around. “I’m sorry. I scolded you at the market. That was silly of me.”
