Su Yun wanted to refuse but in the end she thought of her future and handed the money to Jiang Yan, who happily took it and counted it until he was sure that it was three hundred and fifty taels.
Behind him, the rest of the mer husbands gritted their teeth in anger and jealousy. This was too much; Jiang Yan not only took away the attention and affection of their wife, he also started getting richer by the day.
While he can straightforwardly ask for money, they can only suck up to their wife and hope that she would give them a good face and let them share the wealth that she was earning.
When Madam Su saw how her sister earned seven hundred taels of silver without even moving a finger, she was stunned. Sure enough the old ones were wise. One should always leave a way out for themselves, she and her husband said too many harsh things to Su Yun which led to this situation.
