Shujun smiled faintly, then spoke no more.
Afterward, Fang Lanshan asked about Liang Shujun's family's future plans. Shujun mentioned that he and his wife intended to return to Qingfeng Prefecture and bring back all their family members.
Fang Lanshan then suggested that when Lady Xiao Dong had time, she should come to see her, as she wanted to invite Lady Xiao Dong for drinks.
After their parting, Shujun carried the bag back home. It wasn't very heavy as it contained a silver note and some small silver pieces.
He recalled how, years ago, he had carried the bag hidden in his chest like a thief, creeping along, fearing any mishap.
But a mishap had indeed occurred.
He was hit on the head with a cosh, and the bag was gone.
It had been Lao Er's emergency money.
Suddenly, he cracked a smile; after all, he still had to thank He Su.
If not for He Su, if not for Pei Yu, how could he have met his wife?
Some people who commit evils inadvertently contribute to good deeds.
