Gao Mingjiang knew when to stop.

“I guess I’m not completely innocent. I shouldn’t have given the silver to that soldier. It’s all my fault. I won’t do it again.”

His brothers blanched. If he hadn’t given the soldier the silver…

“No, you didn’t do anything wrong! Mingjiang, you’ve done a great job this time!”

Gao Mingjiang only smiled bitterly, obviously hurt.

An idea struck the second eldest brother, and he told old Mrs. Gao, “Mum, give Mingjiang ten taels of silver!”

Old Mrs. Gao’s eyes popped. That was all the money her family had!

Her second son walked up to her and took ten taels of silver from her. “Mom, which is more important, the silver or your sons and grandsons?”

The old lady was speechless.

In the end, ten taels were taken away from her.

The second son stuffed ten taels of silver into Gao Mingjiang’s hands. “Brother, here’s some silver for you. If something like this happens again, just use them whenever you find necessary. Our life is more important.”

Gao Mingjiang forced a smile and said, “It’s late. Let’s boil some hot water and eat some pancakes. We’ll get some rest and leave early tomorrow. It’s still dangerous here. The further away from here, the better.”

“Yes!” Only then did his brothers relax.

The second son grabbed the third son away.

They walked to a corner, and the second son slapped his younger brother.

The third son was furious. “Good job!” said the eldest son.

“Brother!” The third son protested.

The eldest son slapped his brother as well. “Ten taels of silver! You just can’t keep your mouth shut!”

He walked away after that.

The second son also cast a stern look at his younger brother. “I know you and your wife don’t like Mingjiang, but we can’t leave this place without him! You’ll have to figure it out yourself!”

He stormed off after that, leaving the third son behind.

He was just jealous of Gao Mingjiang and had only said those things in passing. Why did everyone slap him?

Just then, the old lady jumped up and slapped him as well.

“Mom!” The third son stared at his mother in disbelief. His mother had always doted on him!

“Twenty taels of silver! I just gave away twenty taels of silver for nothing! Shut up from now on!” Old Mrs. Gao stormed off.

The third son was really crying now.

Meanwhile, the fourth branch of the Gao family was enjoying themselves.

Gao Mingjiang had deliberately stopped his carriage at the outermost area, so as to keep watch for the others, but in fact, he didn’t want to get too close.

They had built their own campfire and were sitting around, boiling water and warming themselves.

“Thank you.” Gao Mingjiang sat down opposite Feng Wu and mouthed those words.

Feng Wu chuckled. Gao Mingjiang was such a smart guy.

“Sister Feng, you’re amazing! You talked back to Grandma and won!” Sanya went on worshiping Feng Wu.

Feng Wu rubbed her head.

Due to malnutrition, although Sanya was ten years old, she still looked like a seven-year-old. Her hair was as yellow as straw.

Feng Wu chuckled. “Your grandmother is just unreasonable. If you’re with reason, you can win all the arguments.”

In the end, Feng Wu asked, “You’re living such a miserable life. Why haven’t you split up with the other branches?”

Once they were separated, Feng Wu could hunt some wild game for Gao Mingjiang’s family. All the pancakes were simply too bland. Li smiled bitterly.. “Do you think we don’t want to do that?”
