"Not much, just about $76,000." Michael responded offhandedly.
But when he was met by silence, Michael looked towards the old man, only to realize that the old man was shocked.
When he realized that Michael was looking at him, the old man stammered, "That... That much? Why did you spend so much money just for furnishing the houses?"
The old man could feel his heart bleeding. Such a huge amount of money, if he was given, how many things would he have been able to do with that money?
He, who had been used to spending a few hundred dollars every month to support the orphanage, was quite unwilling to see the money being spent like this.
If it was possible, he wished to reverse the time, so that he could prevent Michael from spending so much money.
Michael on the other hand could only squeeze out a forced smile on his face.
When he responded to the old man, he really wasn't thinking much. And, to the current him, the amount of money that he had spent was actually not that much.
