Chapter 615 - 613: You’re Finally Here—
Jinhoo also felt embarrassed and took out a few silver pieces from his pocket to hand over, "Auntie, this is my contribution, too. I’ll give it to you. When we get to Qi City, we’ll certainly need to spend money. If it’s not enough, you can cover for me first, and when we get back home, I’ll have my dad give to you!"
These silver pieces were his private stash. Before the new year, he and Jindou had run to the town with a little more than one silver coin each and bought some goods for the New Year that the family needed, then sold them in the nearby villages.
Their goods were fairly priced, and they had sweet tongues, offering to bring specific items if someone mentioned a need, hinting at the life of itinerant peddlers.
If customers did not have cash on hand, they could also offer goods as collateral, which the brothers then dragged to town to sell. After half a month, they actually each earned a little more than one silver coin.
This time, Jindou had given all the money to Jinhoo, also hoping that he would see something cheap, attractive, and fashionable in the county town to bring back and sell.
When Jinhoo left, his parents had not given him any money, and he hadn’t thought of it at that moment. Now, seeing Wang Yongping giving money, he felt both ashamed and guilty and hurriedly took out all his capital silver intended for business.
Wang Yongzhu laughed and did not refuse; she accepted the silver coins.
Wang Yonggui, after hesitating for a long time, finally took out a piece of silver with reluctance. He had secretly exchanged it in the county town.
He handed it to Wang Yongzhu.
Qi City, though not far from Jing County, was a completely different county town.
Jing County thrived on the Changqing Academy and various mountain goods peddlers.
