Receiving a dividend of fifty or a hundred taels was already splendid to Bai Ruozhu, but suddenly getting more than four hundred taels, that was truly a massive amount. She remembered how nervous she was when she went home with thirty taels of silver after selling fresh soup noodles, afraid of being robbed or stolen.
But Bai Ruozhu quickly thought of Du Zhongshu's recent attitude, could the Du family really be willing to share such a large sum of money with an outsider? Thinking this way, she found it beneficial to have the medicinal materials deducted from the dividends, which saved her the trouble of taking out the money.
Du Zhongshu read Bai Ruozhu's thoughts and said with a wry smile, "Don't think too much, this dividend will be given to you no matter what."
Bai Ruozhu didn't speak, but thought to herself: Now they are relying on my improved formulas, of course, they won't withhold it. But what about later when they think the formulas are sufficient and no longer need her?
