Chapter 614 - 612: Taking the Boat
Having arranged all these matters, Wang Yongzhu finally returned to the inn.
Jinhoo had never been to Jing County before, and Wang Yongping had only been there once.
Now that the New Year wasn’t over yet, everyone was still wearing new clothes, smiles of satisfaction on their faces, and the shops on the street had reopened.
Even though many students and out-of-town businessmen were gone, the streets remained bustling, with young girls and brides in their New Year’s clothes looking forward to going out together.
However, none of them dared to leave the inn, just yearningly gazing at the outside world.
Seeing Wang Yongzhu coming back, they all came up to greet her.
Wang Yongzhu, finding it boring to stay in the inn, asked Old Granny Zhang, "Mother, shall we also go and stroll around Jing County?"
Old Granny Zhang’s eyes lit up, but she immediately said, "Let’s forget it, strolling around costs money! Doesn’t everything we need cost money when we go out? Let’s save and spend carefully!"
Jinhoo’s spirits instantly deflated.
Wang Yongzhu hurriedly said, "That’s not necessarily the case. We’re getting on the ship tomorrow, and we need to buy some food and seasickness pills to prepare. Mother, if you come with us, you can help us look out and avoid being overcharged, right?"
These words struck a chord with Old Granny Zhang, who immediately perked up, "You’re absolutely right. You young ones look so tender, the businessmen will definitely charge you more. I, an old woman, need to keep an eye on you to prevent you from being taken advantage of!"
