章 541: Wild rumours

"Just five taels?" Old madam Lin screeched as she looked at the five taels that Zhang Xiaohui gave to Lin Yunxi. She was most definitely upset at this treatment, she was her mother in law, no matter how badly she might have treated that woman, she should have listened to her and returned, and if she wasn't willing to return for her then she should have at least returned for her children, how can she wipe her hands after giving five taels to them? What about the rest of the money? What about those gold jewellery? What about the work that was still left to do in the fields who was going to do all of that? " What was she trying to do? Dismiss a beggar? Three taels are Che'er's academy fee and there is also money needed to buy pen and papers, how can she just give you guys five taels and be done with it? I mean she was the one who gave birth to you!"
