章 650: Chapter 651: Just a Little Greedy

"Tsk, tsk, it really is true that good people have good rewards. That box of jewelry must be worth at least a few thousand taels. You didn't see Shen Qiu's face just then, it turned green."

Ye Zi'an nodded, "Shen Qiu is not that great, but her brother is quite decent, he's a man who gets things done."

"Really?" Remembering Shen Qiu's words from earlier, Yang Chuxia said, "A County Magistrate's salary is only fifteen taels of silver a month. Shen Qiu's bracelets alone must be worth at least a hundred taels, not to mention the hairpins and clothes, which would add up to a few hundred taels more. That's equivalent to his two years' salary. Where did he get so much money?"

Ye Zi'an shook his head and touched her head, "Well, he is considered good compared to the vast majority of people. It's not really possible to be completely clean."

With this explanation, Yang Chuxia understood – he wasn't not greedy, just relatively less so.
