Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 561

Max chuckled before he assured them. “It’s correct, Ed and Wendy. It’s really a total of 18.73 million. This is just the cash I’m talking about; I haven’t included the other gifts that some people sent over. I made a list of all the gifts collected; there were quite a number of people who brought gold jewelry and such—it took about six boxes to fit everything inside.

Wendy, perhaps you can take a look at these accessories soon. That way, you can keep those that you like and get rid of those that you don’t. Otherwise, having so much jewelry at home would be equivalent to inviting robbers into our house, and just keeping it around would be troublesome anyway.”

Ed and Wendy were still shocked by what they just heard. “H-How did things turn out this way? Where did all these gifts come from? Why would people give us jewelry? T-That’s such an expensive gift!” Wendy commented.

With a faint smile, Max explained, “Ed, Wendy, this is how things are done nowadays. Attending a wedding with just a cash offering would indicate that one only has a distant relationship with the couple, but sending in jewelry and accessories would show that one truly has a close relationship with them.

Even the amount of cash offerings were pretty much as expected. Master Burch alone had already contributed 888,888; the rest of them all paid a few hundred thousand each. Even without any contribution from your neighbors, we already have about 20 million.

Furthermore, these people all received personal invitations from Master Tiger; some of them who hadn’t been invited didn’t even get to enter once they arrived. If everyone actually entered, we might have had up to 30 million here.”

Both Ed and Wendy simply gaped at the man who just finished talking. A while ago, they were both getting concerned over a few hundred dollars. Who could’ve expected for them to become so rich right after they got married? “T-This is too much. We can’t take all of it. Mr. Mussolini, why don’t you… help us send all this money back?” Wendy waved and gestured for the money to be sent away.

What she got in return was a stunned expression from Max. This girl is truly impressive, he thought. There’s so much money here, and yet her first thought is to send it all back. This is a rare sight indeed. There are only a few people nowadays who aren’t greedy for money, let alone a family like theirs, who actually needed the money.
