Jiang Hua hesitated and said he didn’t know how to order, so he didn’t order a single dish.
Si Lang, without any reservation, ordered one dish after another.
Jiang Hua, unable to tolerate it any longer, finally said, "There are only three of us, ordering so many dishes, can we finish them? This is already enough!"
Si Lang looked annoyed, but he didn’t continue ordering.
After the al, Jiang Youzhi took both of them back to the inn.
When Si Lang went inside, Jiang Youzhi asked Jiang Hua, "Is Grandpa doing well at ho?"
Jiang Hua shook his head, "Not well."
"Early that morning when he got the news, he collapsed straight away."
"Alas, now at ho, at ho...," Jiang Hua said, suddenly bursting into tears.
Seeing Jiang Hua cry, Jiang Youzhi felt a bit of compassion.
He hadn’t originally intended to cause Jiang Rong’s death, but now, Jiang Rong couldn’t survive either.
He sighed, "Third Uncle, rest first."
"It’s best to watch over Si Lang tonight, I saw him holding silver, he might run out to gamble."
Out of a bit of compassion, Jiang Youzhi gave another reminder.
Jiang Hua quickly nodded, "Okay, I will watch over him."
Jiang Youzhi continued, "I’ll go hire the carriage for the coffin, and I’ll co over tomorrow morning to see you off."
Jiang Hua, hearing him say this, felt sowhat grateful, "Thank you, Third Brother."
Once Jiang Youzhi left, Jiang Hua returned to the room and said to Si Lang, "You can keep that silver note of one hundred taels for now, but be careful, don’t lose it, hand it over to Grandpa when we get back."
Si Lang snorted, "I won’t hand it over, I won’t give this silver to anyone. This silver, traded with my father’s life, should be mine."
Jiang Hua said, "That’s the silver Third Brother gave beforehand with a promissory note, as repaynt for the Jiang Family’s upbringing, this money shouldn’t be yours."
Si Lang snorted coldly, "I don’t care, this is what my father left for , no one should try to take it."
Jiang Hua sighed, "Alright, I’m just making it clear to you, whether or not to return it to Grandpa, it’s up to you."
He stared at Si Lang, "Just one thing, we must escort your father’s coffin back ho early tomorrow morning, you are not allowed to go out tonight."
Si Lang still just snorted coldly.
Jiang Hua, exhausted from traveling by carriage all day and bustling around, called for the waiter to fetch so water, washed up, and went to bed.
Before sleeping, he again urged Si Lang to sleep early.
Si Lang clutched the silver note of one hundred taels to his chest, feeling as if a cat’s paw was scratching his heart.
He thought his father was too foolish.
Winning a thousand taels of silver, he should have left imdiately, wouldn’t their family have struck it rich?
At the very least, they could play slowly, how could he gamble all at once with a thousand taels, ending up losing the silver and his life?
He didn’t think the silver in Xiang City was so easy to earn, casually winning a thousand taels.
His heart was ablaze like coal, a few tis he wanted to get up from bed to go earn money at the casino, but thinking of sending his father back ho tomorrow, he could only suppress the thought.
However, he was already determined in his heart.
Xiang City was a good place, after burying his father, he would co to Xiang City to earn money, this hundred taels would be his startup capital.
He was smarter than his father, he wouldn’t make the sa mistakes.
When he earned silver, he would also buy a shop and a house in the city, bigger than Third Brother’s shop!
With beautiful dreams, Si Lang fell asleep.
Early next morning, Jiang Youzhi indeed ca with a carriage.
The carriage was specially made, with a long enough body to hold a coffin.
They arrived at the temple outside the city and loaded the coffin onto the carriage, Si Lang also got onto Liu Er’s carriage, just as Jiang Hua was about to get on, Jiang Youzhi suddenly said, "Third Uncle, co with for a mont, I have sothing to tell you."
