Chapter 276 Dividing Silver

It would be difficult to explain these principles in a short time, so Song Ying had to analyze them in detail:

"If Master Chen really cares about this so-called life-saving grace, then I have played a significant role. How could he forget me?"

"With so many girls among us, he might not be able to match the names with the people." Erni hesitated, and as soon as she said this, she remembered that Chen Yunze knew that Song Ying was a new doctor in Huichuntang, so there would be no chance of mismatch.

When Luo Yanxing was recounting what happened, she also specifically said that when Yuan Qing first wanted to do it, she didn't understand. It was Song Ying who explained it to her, and then she replaced Yuan Qing and shouted to the people below.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Master Chen not to know who Song Ying is. To be honest, Song Ying's contribution in preventing the people from making riots today is second only to Yuan Qing and Luo Yanxing.

All of those who were watching received silver jewelry, but Chen Yunze did not mention Song Ying at all.

To figure out the details, everyone couldn't help but look at Yuan Qing. They were all a little surprised that even a rich young man like Chen Yunze wanted to make friends with him.

After being surprised, Luo Yanxing hesitated and said, "So, the bracelets and earrings he gave us were all for Yuan Qing's sake. Should we give him everything, including the 100 taels?"

"No need," Yuan Qing waved his hand, "Mr. Chen values gratitude. These silver and jewelry were given by him to repay you for saving his life. Naturally, they are yours."

"Isn't this life-saving favor not counted? He gave it to you for your sake." Luo Yanxing was puzzled and looked at Song Ying. Could it be that Song Ying's previous analysis was wrong? Then why didn't Yuan Qing say it just now?

Song Ying was a little speechless towards Yuan Qing. Couldn't he just say it directly? Yan Xing and the others were still young and had never experienced complicated things, so how could they understand his implicit meaning?

She once again acted as an interpreter: "Yuan Qing rejected Chen Yunze's so-called life-saving grace because he didn't want to make friends with him. If you give him the things, then isn't it equivalent to him accepting Chen Yunze's gratitude?

So, he wanted to pretend that he didn’t understand the deep meaning of Chen Yunze giving you the silver jewelry, and just treat it as a superficial gesture, Chen Yunze thanking Yanxing for saving his life.”

Yuan Qing: There’s no need to be so blunt.

Song Ying felt that he had explained it very clearly, but Luo Yanxing and the others still found it confusing. "You've confused me. Does this count or not?"

Song Ying held his forehead, feeling that he should not have explained it to them before. It was fine to let them regard it as Chen Yunze's way of thanking Yan Xing.

She looked at Luo Yanxing and said, "Forget everything I told you before. This money is what Master Chen said, it's to repay you for saving my life!"

She looked at Erni and the others again, "Where are your silver bracelets and earrings? They are because you all gave advice and helped save Master Chen. This is his way of thanking you."

Luo Yanxing rolled his eyes. How could he forget what he had just heard?

Moreover, she felt very guilty holding this so-called thank-you silver.

As a person who grew up together, Song Ying saw her uneasiness at a glance and said, "You don't have to feel uneasy. He gave you the money to prove his life-saving grace and make their friendship less awkward."

"But this is 100 taels of silver. How can I ask for so much money for no reason?" Luo Yanxing was still very nervous.

Song Ying thought for a moment and said, "If Master Chen wanted to get closer to the county magistrate, and he gave the gatekeeper a large sum of money in order to see the county magistrate, and then the gatekeeper went in to ask for his permission, but the county magistrate refused to see him, do you think the gatekeeper would return the money to him?"

"If you want to return it, the county magistrate didn't meet him, and the matter didn't come to fruition, so naturally he has to return the money."

Song Ying: “…”

"Remember, the concierge won't refund the money in this situation. He gave the concierge money to ask him to help him get in and pass the message, and to say something nice.

The doorman has done everything he should do, so it is only natural that he should be paid. Whether or not to see him is up to the county magistrate.

You are now like a concierge, so you can feel at ease taking this money."

Luo Yanxing was still nervous, "100 taels is too much, I don't dare to take it, Yuan Qing, how about I give you half?"

Song Ying and Yuan Qing both wanted to hold their foreheads in their hands. They had talked for so long, but it was all in vain. Yuan Qing took it as if he was accepting the life-saving grace. If that was really the case, why did he reject Chen Yunze before?

After thinking for a while, Song Ying said, "You saved someone today and got such a large sum of money. It's a great thing. Let us share in the joy. Can you treat us to a meal?"

"Sister Yanxing, if you think it's too much, you can share some with us. We don't think it's too much." Song Tian and the other two, who got nothing today, were already extremely envious. When they saw that Luo Yanxing got such a large sum of money and was still being pretentious, they couldn't help but be sarcastic.

Song Ying rolled her eyes at Song Tian in anger: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

Unexpectedly, Luo Yanxing said, "That's a good idea! Since this is my money, I can use it however I want! Consider it my New Year's money!"

After saying this, when Song Tian and the other two were overjoyed, she looked at them with a smile, "But there's no share for you three."

Song Tian and the other two's faces fell immediately, and Luo Erzhu couldn't help but said: "Cousin, I am your brother."

Luo Yanxing rolled his eyes: "Humph, don't even mention cousins. If my own brother is not likable, I won't share it."

Luo Erzhu was crying and trying to fight for it, but Luo Yanxing had already taken out a silver ingot and handed it to Yuan Qing, "This is for you."

Yuan Qing still refused: "Thank you for your kindness, but I won't accept the reward without any merit."

Luo Yanxing wanted to persuade him, but Song Ying shook her head and said, "You have nothing to do with him, a stranger. Why give him New Year's money? Just give it to us, your good sisters."

As he spoke, he pointed at Yuan Shan specifically.

Luo Yanxing slowly came to his senses and gave the 50-tael silver ingot to Yuan Shan.

Yuan Shan glanced at Yuan Qing and seeing that he didn't say anything, she took it, feeling very excited.

With this silver ingot, my brother’s tuition fees for next year will be covered, and my grandparents won’t have to shamelessly borrow money from everywhere.

Luo Yanxing held up the remaining silver ingot and asked, "Cut it open with scissors now?"

"No, no, no, there will be losses if you cut it open! Take it to the silver shop and exchange it for small change. They are happy to accept this kind of silver ingot!" Song Ying stopped her and said:

"We sisters don't need to be so divided. How about you use the money to treat us to a good time during the Lantern Festival?"

At this time, Erni and the others also came to their senses. They said that dividing the money was actually just another excuse to give half of the thank-you money to the Yuan family in a reasonable way.

The remaining one was what Luo Yanxing deserved. It would be inappropriate for them to divide it further. Besides, they had already benefited from it today. Not only did they have a big meal at Tianxianglou, but they also got a silver bracelet and a pair of silver earrings.
