Chapter 605 - 603 New Year
Before the words had even settled, Old Granny Zhang snatched up the silver note and scrutinized it for a long while. The more she looked, the more uneasy she felt, and she stuffed the silver note into Wang Yongzhu’s hand: "Daughter, take a look, it couldn’t be fake, right? That little beast, he brought home fake land deeds in the beginning, this silver note—"
She said, eagerly awaiting Wang Yongzhu’s judgement.
Wang Yongzhu, holding the silver note, felt the pressure mount as everyone’s gaze fixated on both the silver note and herself.
After carefully examining the silver note and comparing it with another five-tael note, there were some differences, but no apparent flaws could be found.
After a moment of thought, she finally said, "This, we can’t tell. Why don’t we go to town tomorrow to have someone take a look?"
However, based on what she knew about Wang Yongan’s character, she guessed there was a good chance it was fake.
This reminded her that she should really learn how to discern the authenticity of such silver notes. Considering she might have to deal with silver notes for a long time to come, she should not remain ignorant, right?
There were few fools present. Remembering Wang Yongan’s history, they all felt the silver note was more likely than not to be fake.
Old Granny Zhang’s expression darkened. Seeing her change in demeanor, the others tactfully dispersed.
As soon as they had left, Old Granny Zhang slammed her fist on the table, fuming, "Why didn’t I think of this earlier? I should have dragged that beast, my second son, to have it checked immediately and confronted him on the spot!"
"Now look, I’ve let him get away scot-free! This beast, he doesn’t think twice about the years of support from home, he’s made his fortune and still wants to deceive us with counterfeit silver notes!"
