Kapitel 43: Chapter 32: The Expenditure

Before it got dark, Manbao dragged a sack onto the ground to sit on as she poured out all the coins from her cloth bag, and also took out the spare change and silver ingots from her pocket.

Everyone's jaws dropped, knowing they had made quite a bit of money, but had no idea there was so much.

Zhou Dalang and Zhou Erlang had been aware all along, so their shock was somewhat limited, but Zhou Sanlang and Zhou Silang couldn't help but widen their eyes, staring blankly with their parents at Manbao squatting on the ground and counting money.

Zhou Wulang found a string for tying the coins, and then everyone started to count the money.

Zhou Wulang, though he could count to one hundred by a stroke of luck, would often make mistakes, so he counted by tens, compiling them into piles, and when there were ten piles, that made one hundred coins.

Manbao despised him for this and told him to string the coins instead, taking over the counting herself.
