Chapter 80: Go Ahead and Make a Fuss

The next day, Shen Chengyao was so annoyed that he didn't go to the main family's house. Early in the morning, he went to Shen Chengzu's house and invited the three of them over for breakfast to thank them for taking care of his family during this period. He also told them about finding Yun'er and adopting Fang Wenri.

After breakfast, Shen Chengyao went to the county to pay the foreman, Liang, for work done by the villagers. He gave the silver to Shen Chengzu to help him pay. Actually, it was his idea to delay the payment. He was originally worried that only a few children were at home. If the house was built and the wages were not paid immediately until he returned home, it would prevent people from thinking the house was hiding silver and becoming targets for thieves. He never thought things would escalate to the point of severing ties with his own parents.
