In the woods.
Two sturdy men were whispering to each other.
Xu San spoke softly, "I heard the Chu family is very wealthy. They paid for all the bluestone slabs themselves."
Zhou Da was surprised, "That must have cost a lot, right?"
Xu San said enviously, "Definitely dozens of taels at least. If only I had that much money."
"Who wouldn't want that!" Zhou Da pondered, "Is there a way we can get some money out of this?"
Xu San was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Zhou Da whispered, "I heard someone who helped the Chu family with apples had their cart overturned, and they got compensated fifty taels."
Xu San exclaimed in shock, "Fifty taels?"
Zhou Da nodded affirmatively, "With fifty taels, we wouldn't have to worry about food and clothes for ten years."
Xu San imagined a life without worries, "Yeah, just lying at home with food to eat would be great."
