Chapter 380: Chapter 380: I Have to Give You Some Benefits_1

Xiao Changyi remained silent.

An Jing smiled and said, "Indeed, 50,000 taels is quite a lot, but if you spend that money to settle the disaster victims sooner, wouldn't you be able to rest easy earlier? Also, don't forget how wealthy your family is—it's very easy to attract attention from those who can't find work. If they really set their sights on you and ransack your home, you wouldn't know whom to cry to."

To tell the truth, An Jing was initially a bit scared by Xiao Changyi's outrageous demand for 50,000 taels. Even for the wealthy, that was a huge amount of silver coins to give away for nothing.

However, her husband always meant what he said. Since he had demanded 50,000 taels, he would settle for no less than that, so she didn't suggest to Wang Youbao that giving slightly less would be fine.
