Chapter 287: Distributing Silver, Second Watch (2)_1
The short, fat old man who called the door responded to Mu Sanniu’s words with a beaming face and mentioned the word, "Silver!"
"Silver?"
Mu Sanniu and the nearby villagers who were strolling around were stunned!
How much silver would the square-faced strongman need to carry to push down Mu Sanniu? Furthermore, the boxes on the shoulders of the other four strong men were the same as those carried by the square-faced strongman, meaning it’s very likely their boxes could contain enough silver to take down Mu Sanniu!
The son of the clan leader, upon hearing the shouts at the door, had hastily come out to open the gate. The moment Nangong Yi and his men stepped through the door, the clan leader’s courtyard was surrounded by villagers who had gathered upon hearing the news.
"Did you hear about how a wealthy young gentleman brought a few big men carrying boxes upon boxes of silver into the clan leader’s house?"
"Yes, I heard too, and I heard they’re the good men from yesterday who helped rescue our fellow villagers!"
"My goodness, boxes and boxes of silver, how much must that be? If I had just five or eight taels, it would be enough to rebuild a few thatched rooms and I’d be content..."
As everyone speculated, the door of the Clan Leader’s House suddenly opened, and the old clan leader appeared, his face glowing. With much excitement, he announced to the villagers, "Fellow villagers, I bring good news. Yesterday, a young master was passing through our village just as the earth dragon turnover occurred. Taking pity on our poor livelihoods, he has graciously offered to finance the reconstruction of our homes. Each family can collect eight, ten, or even two..."
The last few words of the clan leader were deliberately stretched out; perhaps he was afraid others couldn’t hear properly!
"Boom——"
