At the sight of so much money and the silver note, Liu Duo was so happy she could not hold her lips together.

This was the first time she had seen so much money since coming to this world, and it was all shining silver! Liu Duo felt her joy could last the whole day!

There, one thousand wen wass one tael of silver, and one thousand taels of silver was one tael of gold..

Seeing her staring gleefully at the silver, Qin Fang teased, “Little Duo, are you that excited at this little bit of silver? In the future, when we open branches, we could earn more. By then, you probably won’t be able to stop smiling, right? Hehe…”

Liu Duo laughed out loud at her teasing but did not respond.

“Right, Little Duo, why didn’t your two husbands come with you this time?” Qin Fang felt strange seeing her come alone. Shouldn’t someone be accompanying her?

Her smile dropped at the question, “Yang’s been out hunting for a while now, Liu has work to do, and Ling’s at home. And little Mo? Forget about him!”

Liu Duo’s face dimmed at the mention of little Mo. Qin Fang guessed that this person was the unfavourable one, and he had upset her.

Qin Fang smiled and asked no further. After all, it was Liu Duo’s family affair.

Liu Duo stayed a while longer before leaving. She proposed that Qin Fang pay attention to customer service and terminate snobbish employees.

She had seen the snobbish staff member from last time treating customers condescendingly again.

Ye Mo caught up with Liu Duo when she exited the shop.

She looked behind her and saw Ye Mo not so far away. She went to face him, “Hey! Can you quit following me around! Don’t you have anything better to do? Go on!”

“I’ve long finished my chores.”

Seeing the smug look on his face, Liu Duo really felt like punching him. She had seen him standing opposite the tailor’s shop, just waiting for her, and yet he dared say that he had long finished his chores! He was basically lying through his teeth!

She did not expose his lie. She merely rolled her eyes and went away. She only said, “Since you’re not busy anymore, come help me carry my stuff!”

She planned to buy refined rice – the good stuff. As for clothes, she could buy those next time. She did not know what sizes the men wore, and she didn’t want to guess.

At the grocery market, Liu Duo bought eighty jin of refined rice and eighty jin of fine powder in one go. They would eat well food from then on.

“Eighty jin of refined rice for twenty wen per jin. That’s one tael of silver and six hundred wen. Six wen per jin of fine powder, so that’s forty-eight wen. In total, that’ll be two taels of silver and eighty wen,” The shopkeeper counted on his abacus as it kept making noises.

Liu Duo paid and let Ye Mo carry them.

Ye Mo was stunned during the whole transaction. Liu Duo had spent more than two taels in one go, and she had not been indecisive about it. But he dared not say that she had been wasteful. After all, that was her money!

Liu Duo also went to buy snacks – lots of them – and some household supplies. Anything that she could think of, she bought it.

They returned to Wang Tuozi’s ox cart. She went up to him and said, “Uncle Wang, I’ll pay you thirty wen to give me a ride, is that alright? I bought plenty of stuff.”

Wang Tuozi nodded and accepted the money, saying nothing. But he wondered, Where did they get the money? And they bought so much stuff!

Liu Duo was in a cheerful mood. She even gave one packet of snacks to Wang Tuozi.

Sitting on the ox cart on the journey home, Liu Duo never stopped eating the snacks she had bought earlier.

And she did not forget to comment, “This tastes wonderful.”

She passed some to Ye Mo, who rejected. She couldn’t care less, and mumbled, Whatever!
