Chapter 461 Loss (3)_1
What shocked and perplexed the Ma Family more was that the speed of the Lin Family’s shopkeeper and the children was faster than theirs. From time to time, they could faintly hear the villagers discussing their rapid accounting.
Some of the villagers whom he looked down upon as bumpkins were actually faster than Ma Dala.
