Chapter 122: Chapter 122 Family Reunion (8)_1

Unlike the others, Cai Wei had already met her father yesterday, so she wasn’t as excited. Calmly, she stepped down from the carriage, pulled out her purse, and gave each of the beggars around a taels of silver.

The beggars who received the reward were overjoyed. Originally, they had been troubled about how to split this tael of silver among themselves, but they hadn’t expected such an extravagant surprise from Miss Cai Wei. In their elation, they knelt down in gratitude, repeatedly kowtowing and thanking her.

Other beggars who had heard the news also gathered, continuously uttering auspicious phrases, congratulating Cai Wei on the fulfillment of her heart’s desire, and her family’s reunion!

Although she clearly understood their intended purpose, Cai Wei still rewarded each of them. "When one is happy, the spirit is refreshed," she thought. "What’s a few taels of silver as a reward for finally finding Dad and reuniting as a family?"

Moreover, the money she was awarding wasn’t earned through her hard work. Instead, she had taken it from Lü Zhongma. She had checked Lü’s purse, finding hundreds of silver notes and some loose silver coins. Even if she gave all it away, she wouldn’t feel any pinch. After all, she had gotten it for free, and it wasn’t the fruit of her hard work. Plus, there were still plenty of antiques and paintings, the value of which far exceeded a few hundred taels of silver!

In the beginning, Mu Zhongqing had been busy staring lovingly at his wife, their hands entwined as they gazed at each other with tearful eyes and spoke not a word. However, when a large crowd of beggars swarmed around them, his attention was naturally drawn.

Seeing his daughter handing out piles of copper coins and loose silver so freely, Mu Zhongqing was deeply shocked! For several months, he had been sparingly saving every copper penny he earned by writing letters and copying texts for others. The money he had painstakingly saved was less than what his daughter was casually giving away. Although he was aware that his daughter was running a business and that her tavern was doing well, he had never imagined that she would have so much money that she could freely give away piles of silver without batting an eye!

Cai Wei didn’t notice her father’s astonished gaze. She was busy thinking that her parents, who hadn’t seen each other for so long, must have a lot to pour out. Especially her mother, who had a lot to explain about leaving the main house, for fear her father would harbor any misunderstandings.

So, after dismissing the beggars, she specifically called a few children over, intending to take them for a stroll in the streets and leave her parents alone.

Lady Du understood her daughter’s intentions. After giving her a few words of warning, she hired two sedan chairs to take Mu Zhongqing back to the inn...

After her parents left, Cai Wei took the younger ones and went for a drive in the carriage around the streets of Yushu County City.

Compared to Qingyun Town, Yushu County City seemed much more prosperous; the streets were lined with all sorts of shops, teeming with people, a sight not available in a small town.

But Cai Wei and her siblings didn’t pay attention to the bustling city; their minds were still immersed in the joy of seeing their father. They were all beaming with happiness, their eyes shining brightly with the thrill of the event.

"Older sister, I noticed that Dad’s complexion looks a bit bad, and he’s lost a lot of weight. He’s not ill, is he?" observed Cai Fei, who noticed their father’s ill health.

"Hmm, Dad has been through a lot these past few months, and it’s understandable he’s fallen ill somewhat. Later, we’ll visit a medical center and get him some medicine. That should help him recover," replied Cai Wei in a nonchalant tone, though her thoughts were different. She felt the medicine from the medical center was no match for Old Turtle’s immortal medicine. Once she bought the medicine, she could replace it with Old Turtle’s when it was time to boil it and it would surely cure any ailments.

"We should also get Dad some new clothes. His clothes are in terrible condition, covered in chicken feathers!" chimed in Wen’er from one side, with an air of wisdom beyond his years.

When he first saw his dad, he almost mistook him for a beggar due to his ragged clothes, which were even worse than what the beggars wore!
