章 208: Chapter 208: Selling Pearls

The snack stand was doing very well; they had sold out just after the day's first quarter.

The next day was the market day. Mother Lin didn't plan to bring her daughters-in-law out to set up the stand.

It was time for the family to have a good rest.

After Shen Zhiyu returned home, he revealed his small purse and poured all the copper plates and silver corners inside out.

There were a little over two taels in total.

Nanzhi was speechless.

Her own son's pocket money was somewhat more than hers.

"Can you lend your mom two taels of silver?"

"It all belongs to mom."

The little fellow shook his head, not planning to let Nanzhi pay him back.

"That won't do. Borrowing means repaying." Nanzhi rubbed her son's head, feeling somewhat melancholic.

Seven taels of silver.

Twenty-three taels short.

In the end, were they going to have to use Shen Wenchen's money?
