Chapter 410: Don’t Disclose Your Wealth
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Madam Yang looked up and was indeed happy. She happily took the copper coins and counted them one by one.
The boss didn’t chase her away. He even thought that this person was quite interesting. It seemed that her family also indulged her.
In this world, many people with bad brains were despised by their families.
This madam was already very happy.
Shen Sitian and Tong Shuitao looked at each other and did not say anything. After Madam Yang finished counting, the three of them left the cloth shop. Unexpectedly, after walking out of the door, she saw Jiang Yongkang still standing there waiting for them.
Shen Sitian said, “Uncle Jiang, you don’t have to wait for us.”
“It’s not troublesome. It’s still early anyway. How is it? Did it go smoothly?”
“It went well. I have to thank Uncle Jiang. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t have been able to find this shop.”
Jiang Yongkang waved his hand. “You’re too kind. You even gave me a ride.
Otherwise, I’d still be traveling and tiring myself to death. Where else do you want to go? I can take you there.”
!!..
Shen Sitian was about to refuse when Madam Yang said, “I want to buy something.”
“Buy what?” Jiang Yongkang treated her like a child. He was very patient with her and even smiled.
Madam Yang counted with her fingers. “Pancakes, for Keke. Brush holder, for
Yunshu and Yuanzhi. Comb, and for Dongdong. That’s all.”
Tong Shuitao choked. “But Madam, you don’t seem to have enough copper coins.”
Although these items could be bought at a stall, there were two brush holders among them. It was hard to say.
60 copper coins seemed to be a lot, but it was not enough to buy everything.
Unexpectedly, Madam Yang raised her eyebrows proudly and suddenly took out a money bag. She shook it slightly. “I have it. There’s silver inside.”
The few people standing beside her could clearly hear the sound of silver pieces swaying inside.
Jiang Yongkang hurriedly said, “Quickly put away the money bag. Don’t reveal your wealth, lest you’re targeted.”
When Shen Sitian heard this, she immediately pressed down Madam Yang’s hand and said, “Then let’s go buy something first. We’ll go back early after we’re done?”
“Okay.”
Madam Yang was very happy. Her money was naturally given to her by Gu
Yundong. She would return what Gu Yundong gave her in the past and ask her daughter to keep it safe for her.
However, ever since she returned from her trip, she would occasionally keep the silver behind.
Actually, Madam Yang didn’t know how much she needed. She felt that she had saved enough, so she wanted to buy things for the children.
Now that Shen Sitian and Tong Shuitao did not object, she should have enough money.
She looked around the stalls by the roadside. The pastries and comb were easy to buy, and it didn’t take long.
Brush holders were different. Usually, such things were sold in bookstores. Of course, there were also some in the stalls outside, but most of them were made of bamboo. They were not particular about carving skills, like bamboo joints placed there.
Madam Yang didn’t understand at first. When people said that this was a brush holder, she planned to pay for it.
However, how could Shen Sitian and Tong Shuitao allow her to be treated like a fool? They could just let Boss Tong cut her into two pieces of bamboo later.
They asked Jiang Yongkang, who had been following them, and brought Madam Yang to the bookstore.
Sure enough, she saw the brush holders in the bookstore that matched her thoughts. They were just… expensive.
In this day and age, scholars’ things were expensive, but Madam Yang was very satisfied.
She put everything away in a cloth bag and came out of the bookstore. “Let’s go home.”
Dongdong, Yunshu, Keke, and Yuanzhi would definitely be very happy to see the gifts.
Just as she was thinking this, their path forward was suddenly blocked..
