Chapter 39: A Mysterious Sense of Responsibility

Su Yu heard this and a bitter smile appeared on her lips before she picked up her chopsticks and slowly stirred the noodles in her bowl, each strand seemingly burdened with the difficulty of life and future plans.

The already insufficient pouch of money in her heart reminded her that many essentials still needed to be procured for her home, and the silver tael in her pouch was running low.

How to increase income and reduce expenses in the shortest time had become an urgent issue.

This silver tael, perhaps sufficient for a few days' expenses in an ordinary family, required meticulous calculation in her current circumstances, as every wen money counted.

When settling the bill, she asked the landlady tentatively and hopefully about hiring a carriage to go to the countryside.
