"Dad, there really are three hundred taels in reward silver!"
Yang Zhengshan had just seen Lu Zhaoqi off when Wang and Li crowded around him.
Plump Wang stared at the banknote in Yang Zhengshan's hand with a foolish grin. A banknote—it was a banknote! This was the first time in her life she had ever seen one.
Li was also staring at the banknote with shining eyes, her greed utterly undisguised.
Greed was perfectly normal. Wang and Li had both come from ordinary farming families and had lived hard lives as village women. To suddenly see such a large sum of silver—if they felt no greed, that would have been strange.
It was not just them. Even Yang Minghao came running over with a thud-thud-thud. "Dad, let me see the banknote."
"Go play somewhere else. This silver is mine; it has nothing to do with you!" Yang Zhengshan said without the slightest courtesy.
Damn it, I earned this silver myself, and you unfilial brats were actually setting your sights on it.
"Dad, let me see it. Just one look. I've never seen a banknote before!" Yang Minghao said anxiously.
The more anxious he was, the less Yang Zhengshan was willing to show him.
"Want to see it?"
"Mhm, mhm~~" Yang Minghao nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Earn one yourself!" Yang Zhengshan tucked the banknote into his robe.
Watching the banknote vanish into Yang Zhengshan's robes, Yang Minghao pursed his lips, his heart full of disappointment and frustration.
"Dad, you don't love me anymore. Boohoo..."
Yang Zhengshan: "..."
Love my ass!
I'm not your dad.
Seeing him on the verge of tears made Yang Zhengshan feel rather irritated. But then he remembered that the boy was only fourteen, still just a child, so he took the banknote back out.
