The one hundred taels of silver notes had already been exchanged for actual silver and spent on Mo Yongxi's engagement ceremony to show off, as well as to purchase jewelry and clothes for her. They had spent two to three ten taels, and Lao Mo's House simply couldn't come up with it!
Even if they could, Mo Hong's family and others would never spit out the fat they had swallowed. That would be asking for their lives!
Perhaps feeling confident on her own turf, Mo Hong shamelessly stated that the silver had already been spent. Want the silver back? Fine, go to the city and ask Tie Tou for it—it was he who refused to sign the marriage contract, and it had nothing to do with anyone else!
Since receiving the silver, Tie Tou had been released by Mo Wu and was sent to work at the rice shop the same day. After all, each day's delay meant a day's wages deducted, and those wages were to end up in Mo Hong's hands, so naturally, she was unwilling to let Tie Tou idle at home for nothing.
