Chapter 43 Making Some Money (1)_1

Because they had only nine copper coins to their name, Lady Fang was prepared to walk to the county town.

Covering dozens of miles while carrying so many wild persimmons, Pei Qin was unwilling to walk and opted for a donkey cart instead. Five wen money was spent in an instant.

Si Ya's mouth pouted quite a bit.

Lady Fang also felt extreme heartache.

"Money spent can be earned again!" Earning money was for spending, and if it ran out, you earned more. Although they were short on money now, scrimping and saving at the expense of their own hardship was not Pei Qin's style.

Lady Fang had no choice, but considering the distance to the county town with the persimmons on their backs, she reluctantly agreed.

The fellow passengers on the cart thought they were out visiting relatives.

Dongyang County lay on the plains forty miles away from Taiping Town.

The donkey cart took over an hour to reach the city gates.
