Li Xue's words brought everyone back to their senses. The first thought for Yu Jianguo and Li Xiurong was to hide the money quickly; in this day and age, having such a sum was not necessarily a good thing. Qin Jingru swallowed hard on the side; if she had 10,000 yuan, she would buy whatever she wanted. In her simple-mindedness, she never considered that money could sometimes bring trouble.
Yu Li, however, had seen grand scenes before and remained indifferent to it all. As for Yu Haitang, she knew about Li Anquan’s connections with the old gentleman, and for someone who had been in a leadership position, coming by a bit of money was quite simple.
Li Xue gripped Yu Haibao’s hand in excitement. This was 10,000 yuan! Back then, she had agreed to marry that old scoundrel Zhao Erzhu for a mere 200 yuan. This money was enough to marry fifty women like her; her brother-in-law was truly generous. On the way back, Li Xue had also realized that Li Anquan had his eyes on both Yu Li and Yu Haitang. She murmured, "This money is enough to marry fifty wives, and you could take your pick."
