Chapter 1478: 1478 grab the silver ingot

“How are we going to get our hands on those 115,000 tael notes that Su Qingyue has?” Su Qin pondered over the amount of money held by Su Qingyue and felt an insatiable desire to pocket it all.

“She won’t give it to us willingly,” Su Dashui remarked with calculative old eyes, “Qingyue just revealed her handiwork, and we both ‘flew away’. It seems her internal strength isn’t bad. I’ve heard she’s practiced internal skills. We can’t do it openly, so we’ll have to find an opportunity to steal it when we get the chance.”

“The old man has a plan,” Su Qin’s face, piled with fat, broke into a smile, “To steal, we must wait for when there’s no one in her room. Old man, we are short on cash, so let’s ask our son-in-law for some to spend.”

“I was thinking the same.”

…

Behind the New Moon Restaurant counter, Xiao Yuchuan was rapidly flicking abacus beads as he tallied the accounts.

Su Dashui entered the restaurant with his hands behind his back, appearing to inspect the place, “Good son-in-law, are you settling accounts?”

Xiao Yuchuan glanced up at him but ignored him and continued with his calculations.

Used to his attitude, Su Dashui didn’t feel awkward but pretended to inspect the place and then approached the counter, “Son-in-law, this restaurant sees so many guests eating and staying every day, making a good income. Your father-in-law here doesn’t even own a decent outfit; give your mother-in-law and me some money to buy some clothes.”

“Whoever invited you, go ask them for money,” Xiao Yuchuan’s patience was clearly wearing thin.

As far as he was concerned, since his wife didn’t acknowledge them, he was certainly not going to accept this couple–who clearly didn’t look like good people–as his in-laws.

“Son-in-law, just give me some money,” Su Dashui said, reaching his hand out to the drawer of the counter.

Xiao Yuchuan slapped his hand away with a “snap”, “Get lost!”

The slap really didn’t hold back; Su Dashui’s hand was bruised blue and he howled in pain, “Xiao Yuchuan, is this how you treat your son-in-law? Your father-in-law is asking you for a bit of money, and you actually refuse!”

“Get out of my sight, or I’ll throw you out!”

“You…” Su Dashui’s beard quivered with anger as he glared, “With that attitude, aren’t you afraid I’ll go talk to my daughter and say you don’t even respect her father?”

“Whether you’re her father is still in question.”

“If your mother says I’m her father, then I am,” Su Dashui rolled up his sleeves, ready to teach his son-in-law a lesson, but remembering the man was the heir of the Xiao Clan, he dared not go through with it and instead forced a hypocritical smile, “Son-in-law…”

He pointed to the diners in the room watching over, “Look, everyone is watching. Just give me some money to spend.”

“Unless my wife acknowledges you, you can forget about getting any money from me for the rest of your life,” Xiao Yuchuan didn’t care that so many people were watching.

“My daughter is just angry with me,” Su Dashui said, seeing that even the drawers were locked, he walked away sheepishly.

A guest approached the counter to settle the bill, and Su Dashui saw that the guest had placed a 5-tael silver ingot on the counter. Suddenly, he reached out, grabbed the 5 taels of silver, and ran off.

“Hey!” the guest that was paying the bill cried out.

Xiao Yuchuan was frustrated at the sight.

The billing guest was also angry and said, “Shopkeeper, your father-in-law stole my five taels of silver; you compensate me!”

“Guest, please don’t be upset; I’ll compensate you,” Xiao Yuchuan flicked the beads on the abacus, “Your meal came to three taels, so I owe you two taels.”

“That’s more like it,” the guest said with a smile as he walked away, “Shopkeeper, with such a father-in-law, you’re really going to ‘enjoy’ your life.”

Xiao Yuchuan also felt a growing headache.

Clutching a five-tael silver ingot, Su Dashui ran off into the distance. Once he saw that no one was following him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
