“Mom…you have so much change?” Lin Xiaoyue was very surprised.
“Why didn’t you exchange it for silver notes or ingots?”
Liu Shi rubbed her hands.
“There are 200 taels here.”
She then looked at his daughter.
“I don’t have much time to go to town. Besides, if I send so many copper coins to the bank, it will attract attention.”
“Anyway, with the ring you gave me, I can store it there,” Liu Shi touched the interspatial ring on her neck as she spoke.
This magic tool was really a treasure. She had put all her valuables in it.
She felt at ease when she hid them inside. She was not worried that it would be lost or stolen.
Lin Xiaoyue looked at her mother’s reassuring smile and felt glad that she had decided to give her the ring.
Looking at the money on the table, Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
“Alright, I’ll go to the bank tomorrow and exchange these for silver notes.” “In the future, if you have too much change in your hands, you can tell me. I will help you exchange it for silver ingots or banknotes.” Lin Xiaoyue said. “Sure.”
She watched as her daughter took away all the silver ingots, silver coins, and copper coins.
In an instant, his eyes were filled with disappointment.
She had saved up this money for a long time.
She counted them every night.
Lin Xiaoyue saw Liu Shi’s expression and patted her mother’s shoulder.
“I’ll return the money to you. I’ll give you 200 silver notes.”
Liu Shi thought about it.
“Forget about the silver notes, can you exchange them for silver or gold ingots?”
Real gold and silver were more tangible.
Lin Xiaoyue was surprised.
Then, she nodded.
“Sure!”
She thought that her mother would say no.
Liu Shi was amused by her daughter’s expression. She did not explain and went to open the door with a smile.
She just had to wait for her daughter to return the money.
If the family was short of money, she could still provide support at any time. Although her daughter could earn money, she spent quite a lot of it too.
As for the son-in-law, he listened to her daughter and gave all the money he earned to her.
She was afraid that one day, her daughter would use up all their money.
Therefore, she had to help out.
In the afternoon, Lin Xiaoyue went to the town to deliver the cold cakes. She also went to the bank to exchange the money that Liu Shi gave her.
Because there were too many copper coins, it took a while for the bank to weigh them.
In the evening, Li Xiao came back and Lin Xiaoyue gave him 500 silver notes. Then, she told him about her borrowing money from Liu Shi this afternoon. Li Xiao did not take it.
“Hei Gang said that the selling of this batch of shops will be decided internally in three days. Then, the government office will officially open for sale five days later. After that, it would take another two days for the contract to be ready.” Li Xiao looked at Lin Xiaoyue. “Keep the silver notes first. When I need them, I’ll ask for them from you.”
“As for the renovation, we’ll ask Uncle Jiang after we book the shop.”
They had already worked with Uncle Jiang twice, and they got along well.
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and kept the silver notes.
“Let’s think of a way to return mom’s money as soon as possible.”
Li Xiao thought for a moment and continued, “Young Master Tang has a job at
Tiger Bodyguard Agency.”
Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, Lin Xiaoyue shot him a look and stopped Li Xiao from continuing.
“The shop is still making money. We can return the money by the end of the
month. If you dare to take on those dangerous jobs again…”
Li Xiao’s mood suddenly improved.
“What then?” He asked teasingly.
Lin Xiaoyue’s face turned red. “I’ll break your legs!”
“Violent woman…” Li Xiao laughed.
Then, before Lin Xiaoyue could protest, he pulled her into his arms.
Three days later.
On this day, Li Xiao rode back in the middle of the night.
Yes, the Liu family now not only had oxes but also horses. However, the horse was Li Xiao’s mount, and he was the only one using it.
After returning home, Li Xiao gave the receipt to Lin Xiaoyue and told her that the purchase of the shop had been finalized.
Liu Shi heard the noise and came to the front yard.
After learning about the situation, she was also very happy.
Thinking about her godson also wanting to buy a shop, Liu Shi asked about Hei Gang.
“He bought a lot. He booked a total of 8 shops, which are right next to ours.” Li
Xiao said..
