In order to save Gu Tiezhu's hands, Gu Jianghai bargained with those men for half a day, and eventually, they agreed to spare Gu Tiezhu for ten pieces of silver.
Ten pieces of silver was half a month's profit for the Bun Shop.
Giving away ten pieces of silver to strangers was something Mrs. Chu found extremely distressing. Gu Jianghai too was reluctant, but for Gu Tiezhu's sake, he had to begrudgingly pay the money.
Su Yunjin stared at Mrs. Chu, dumbfounded.
"Sister-in-law, are you saying that you and the fifth brother actually gave the silver to the fourth brother?" The day Gu Tiezhu came to swindle money from her and Gu Ya and was disciplined by Gu Ya, Su Yunjin thought Gu Tiezhu would have learned his lesson and turned honest, not expecting that Gu Tiezhu would still go on to deceive the fifth brother and them.
Mrs. Chu was still feeling the pain, "Sister-in-law, husband gave ten pieces of silver to fourth brother, and asked him to use it to repay his gambling debts."
