Chapter 457: Chapter 457 Generous Host
Hoo Dieâs glass heart took a hit of ten thousand points of damage, thinking back to when he had put so much thought into that Flower-Picking Thief case, only to be outsmarted by Wufu at the last moment, losing the reward, and having his monthly salary docked continuously, to the point where he didnât even have his wifeâs savings left.
But now, the very person who tricked him, without a second word, threw out ten thousand taels, to be divided among his companions. Was there such a way to bully someone?
Wufu snatched back the stack of silver notes, saying, "You know nothing. Last night we had a fierce battle, and it was a fight for our lives, what is this little money compared to that?"
Saying this, she stuffed the stack of silver notes into Su Luoâs hands.
Su Luo felt the heavy, burning weight in his hands, looked at Wufu, and said, "Miss Wufu, that, you donât have to give me anything."
Being a guard meant to protect oneâs master from harm, and last nightâs fight was also carried out on the masterâs orders, so where was the consideration of silver coins?
"How can that be," Wufu smiled and said, "Everyone made an effort, and suffered injuries to different extents. Guard Su, you should give more to those who were injured, as compensation." Wufu laughed: "Without everyone, with just my own strength, I fear I wouldnât have earned this reward. So donât refuse it, just divide it among everyone."
"This..." Su Luo looked towards Ah Jiu.
Ah Jiu glanced at the silver notes in his hand, smiled, and said, "Since Miss Wufu is so generous, just accept it, and you decide how to divide it."
Su Luo was thrilled, a whole ten thousand taels! Not to mention the guards below him, even he himself couldnât earn this much in a year. It was just one fight, and he had gained so much silver, how could he not be happy?
"In that case, Su Luo thanks Miss Wufu and the master on behalf of the brothers," Su Luo saluted the two.
Wufu smiled and waved her hand: "Go on then, in the future, weâll all earn money together."
Su Luo then went down to distribute the money. Hoo Die watched him leave with eager eyes, then turned to Ah Jiu: "Master, I have also been running around these past few days, you see..."
Ah Jiu gave him a glance: "That silver, itâs the business reward that Wufu negotiated. How she wants to distribute it, and to whom, naturally, she decides. I have no right to dispose of it."
Hoo Dieâs heart was hurt once again, and he walked silently to a corner, full of grievances.
Wufu said: "In the future, if you follow Fifth Master, you can also get a share."
Hoo Die rolled his eyes.
Ah Jiu then said, "You really know how to entice, first you enticed my guards, and now even Hoo Die isnât spared."
After such a large amount of silver was distributed, those guards would surely look at Wufu with gratitude as if looking at their own benefactor, especially since guardsâ monthly salaries werenât high, and they depended on their mastersâ rewards.
And this time, so effortlessly, they received so much in so-called rewards, who wouldnât be overjoyed?
Wufu laughed and said, "Thatâs easy to say, manpower, after all, is something you can never have too much of, especially those who are strong fighters."
Ah Jiu snickered, "Ten thousand taels, youâre really generous."
He really hadnât expected her to be so magnanimous. Such a money-grubber she was, a few thousand or a few hundred would have been expected, and especially since she was that âpoorâ.
"A gentleman loves money, and gets it in a good way. Everyone made an effort, it would look too ugly if I were to enjoy it alone. Itâs only good when everyone is doing well!" Wufu shrugged and said, "Shall we go or not? Werenât we going to eat seafood?"
Ah Jiu stood up: "Of course, I didnât get a share of the silver, I canât lose out!"
"So righteous."
Hoo Die watched as the two left one after the other, blinked his eyes, and walked up to Yuan Ye, poking him in the waist, he said, "Old Yuan, am I seeing things?"
How come those two seemed to be getting along so well?
Yuan Ye gave him a look and followed them out.
