Chapter 536: Unexpected Trouble (1)_1
In Great Chu, one tael of gold could be exchanged for ten taels of silver at a Bank. Five hundred taels of gold were equivalent to five thousand taels of silver, enough to secure a worry-free life for a modest family of five for a lifetime.
Even though the Mo Family was considered wealthy, five thousand taels of silver was no small sum, considering that it took a year for the Mo Family Fragrant Rice Shop to earn that much.
Having just spent two thousand taels of silver on a barren mountain, and with another five thousand taels of silver easily coming into the account, Mo Yan felt if she didn’t go to the city for a good shopping spree, it would be an injustice to all the hard work she had done over the past half-year.
Mo Yan readied the carriage and brought Xin Er, Lixiu’s nephew, Tang Xin, along with San Ni and Shitou, a pair of siblings, cheerfully to the city. They planned to join Wu’s mother and daughter for shopping after they had packed up their market stall.
By the time they arrived, it was nearly noon, and there were still many people gathered around the small stall waiting to buy snacks. Wu’s mother and daughter worked quickly and in sync; although they were busy, they did not appear to be in disarray.
Previously, Dani had injured her shoulder blade, but with the skillful treatment of Doctor Du and the secret intake of Spirit Spring Water given to her by Mo Yan, her wound healed completely in less than a month without any complications. This surprised Doctor Du, who found no explanation for the speedy recovery. Assuming it was due to her young age, he did not suspect Mo Yan of anything.
Once she had recovered from her injury, Dani was eager to help Wu’s with the stall, hoping to earn more Silver Coin and make their family life better.
"Sir, I’m sorry, but I only have enough batter left for one pancake roll. Do you still want it?" Wu’s apologized to an old man who had ordered five pancake rolls as she looked at the nearly empty batter bucket in front of her stall.
