The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 728

Chapter 728: Chapter 724: The Large Sum of 500 Yuan

Gu Jiaojiao refused.

Seeing Gu Jiaojiao refuse, Jiang Baishu hastened to say,

"Sister-in-law, this is just a token of my gratitude. Please, accept it. It will make me feel a little better."

When Sweet Girl saw this, she took the money directly from her big brother’s hand and stuffed it into Gu Jiaojiao’s.

"Sister, if Big Brother is giving it to you, just take it. It’s his money anyway, we might as well spend it."

Jiang Baishu: "..."

Xiao Yang nodded along as well. "Sister, take it."

’This brother of ours has been gone for so many years without taking care of anything at home. This money is basically compensation for her. It would be foolish not to take it.’

Resigned, Gu Jiaojiao could only accept the money.

The onlooking villagers, their eyes fixed on the five hundred yuan in Gu Jiaojiao’s hand, went into an uproar.

"My god, five hundred yuan! If I’d known it was this much, I would’ve taken in Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang myself."

This wasn’t five yuan, or even fifty—it was five hundred yuan.

The highest monthly salary at the county steel factory was only thirty yuan. If you saved every penny, you’d only make a little over three hundred a year. For Jiang Baishu to hand out five hundred yuan just like that was an incredible display of generosity.

There were more than a few people in the crowd who were green with envy.

Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao’s life was already a source of envy. Now that they’d received five hundred yuan for nothing, people were practically seeing red with jealousy.

This was especially true for Lin Jiandong and Chen Shulan, who were absolutely sick with regret.

’If only we had known Jiang Baishu was still alive, and so generous! We wouldn’t have been so greedy for the house. We would have raised those two children properly, and that five hundred yuan would be ours now.’

’Five hundred yuan! With a little more, we could have built a two-room brick house.’

The more they thought about it, the more they regretted it—so much so that their insides twisted into knots.

Chen Shulan couldn’t stop herself from blaming Lin Jiandong. "If you hadn’t suggested selling Xiao Yang, Gu Jiaojiao would never have had anything to hold over us! If it weren’t for that, this five hundred yuan would be ours."
