Gu Qingli wasn't offended by Gu Dayou's thoughts. It wasn't as if these designs were solely hers; she was merely benefiting from the efforts of those who came before. She was more than willing for these tools to benefit the villagers and other farming households. Originally, she had intended to give these items to Gu Dayou. She was immensely wealthy and didn't care about such minor profits. So, regardless of Gu Dayou's motives—whether purely for profit or to help the villagers—as long as it benefited the farming families, that was enough; it achieved her desired purpose.
She placed three silver taels into Gu Dayou's hand, saying, "Uncle, please take the silver as well. You can do whatever you like with the items; I have no objections."
"Really? Well, then I really can't accept this silver." Gu Dayou's heart filled with joy, and he quickly tried to return the silver to Gu Qingli.
