Lin Zhu and Aunt Li took Lin Dazhu's bullock cart to the town together. There were also several women from the same village who went with them. Among them, Wenshan Niang, whom they met last time, was also in the car, but this time she always wanted to
He stared at Lin Zhu unintentionally, but when Lin Zhu turned towards Wenshan Niang, she turned away and stopped looking at Lin Zhu, making Lin Zhu very uncomfortable.
Madam Wenshan didn't say anything along the way. Lin Zhu just kept his doubts in his heart and waited to talk to Madam Li again when he had the opportunity.
When they arrived in town, Lin Zhu and Aunt Li quickly went to the grain store, bought rice and white flour, and asked the waiter to deliver it to Lin Dazhu's bullock cart. They also went to the vegetable market to buy meat. Lin Zhu saw that there were a lot of meat at the meat stall.
Stick bones and pig offal. This time she asked for four stick bones, and also asked for two pig hearts and two pig livers on the stall. The stall owner only killed two pigs this time, so there were only two pairs of pigs.
Offal. I bought another five kilograms of pork belly, some fat and some lean, so I’m done. Aunt Li’s family has a lot of people, so she bought almost twenty kilograms. She also has a lot of eggs at home, which is almost enough for this period of time.
The weather is still a bit hot, so I need to salt it before I go back, otherwise it will go bad soon.
Lin Zhu saw someone selling beans and eggplants and bought some. Aunt Li wanted her to go home to get them, but Lin Zhu refused because her family was afraid of not having enough to eat. Lin Zhu spent a lot of money on this trip to town.
She was afraid that the money in her hand would not be enough to pay the labor wages, so she wanted to find a banker to exchange a piece of silver in her hand for loose money, but Aunt Li was always with her and it was difficult to tell her directly. After the two of them finished buying, Aunt Li
She just wanted to get back to the car. After all, the autumn harvest was coming soon, and she didn’t want to stay in the town for too long. Others had the same idea as her, so everyone would rush back after buying what they needed instead of wandering around the town.
.
Seeing that Aunt Li was in a hurry to go back, Lin Zhu felt a little anxious. She suddenly remembered that the last time she came out of Buzhuang, she had seen a money bank, which seemed to be not far from Buzhuang, so she told Aunt Li that she wanted to go to Buzhuang and try her luck again.
, to see if there were any leftover rags and scraps to sell to her, she asked Aunt Li to go back first, and she quickly said hello and went back alone. Aunt Li thought for a while and agreed, and made a purse made from the rags last time.
The two families were separated, and it had been almost a month. It was okay to go and see it again. Aunt Li took Lin Zhu's back in her hand and told her to relax and go back quickly.
Lin Zhu nodded in agreement, and then walked quickly to Buzhuang. There were not many people in Buzhuang. She found the little boy from last time and asked around. The boy said there were, but not many, only the ones from last time.
About half of it, I asked her if she wanted more, and if so, I gave her three cents. Last time, such a big bag only cost five cents. This time, it was obvious that the boy had raised the price, but since he came here for this reason, Lin Zhu didn't do it.
After worrying so much, I gave him three pennies and just took them and left.
After leaving the door of Buzhuang, Lin Zhu looked around for traces of the bank, and found that it was diagonally opposite Buzhuang. She saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she slowly walked towards the bank. Once she entered the bank, there were only the shopkeeper and two people inside.
There were two young men. The shopkeeper was doing the accounting at the counter, and the two young men were cleaning up the store outside. There were no customers, which made Lin Zhu feel more relaxed.
A young man in Tsing Yi from the bank saw a little girl carrying a baggage. He didn't know what she was doing. He came up to her and asked her, "Little girl, what are you doing here?" Although he didn't think Lin Zhu was rich.
Deposit or withdraw here, but still in a friendly tone. Lin Zhu saw that he had a good attitude and thought that he should be able to exchange the silver smoothly, "Can you exchange for loose copper coins?" "Yes." The Qingyi guy thought she was curious, "I want to
If you want to exchange, let your parents do it." "How to exchange? How much can one tael of silver be exchanged for?" "One tael of silver can be exchanged for 990 Wen." As soon as the green-clothed boy finished speaking, another man at the counter
The guy in blue interrupted, "Why are you talking so much to a kid?" His tone was impatient, "Go, go, go, do what you have to do, don't make trouble here." He waved his hand and asked Lin
Zhu hurried out. The boy in Tsing Yi looked at Lin Zhu apologetically, "Little girl, if you want to exchange money, let your parents come over." "My parents didn't have time to come over, so I came over. They are here."
Wait for me in front, you can change it for me." Then Lin Zhu took out an ingot of silver. The silver was five taels per ingot, which seemed a bit big in her little hand. The guy in blue saw that Lin Zhu really took it out.
Yinzi, it felt really bad to be slapped in the face, so his face turned ugly, "Where did you get so much money as a kid? It wasn't stolen, was it?"
Lin Zhu was very angry when she heard this. Although she got the money back from the Wang family, she just used a more secretive method. But no matter what, she couldn't talk to the banker like this, so she didn't pay him any attention.
, directly faced the young man in blue who had been receiving her, and asked him to help exchange it into three taels of broken silver, and the rest had to be dispersed. This young man also felt that the young man in blue's words were a bit excessive, but he had been here longer than me, so
The Tsing Yi waiter always tolerated him. It was the same this time. The Tsing Yi waiter asked Lin Zhu to take the silver to the counter. He had to report it to the shopkeeper first and then exchange it for her.
Seeing that neither of them took care of his boy in blue, he felt that he was being despised and became even more angry. He stopped the boy in green and said, "I can't change it for her. Who knows if the origin of her money was stolen? If someone else
If you know that we exchanged dirty silver for people, the reputation of this bank will be ruined." As he said this, he looked at Lin Zhu sideways. Lin Zhu was very angry. You said that I didn't recruit you and I didn't mess with you. You
Such a big person is throwing dirty water on me here. I really think that I can be bullied by you because I am young. "Is this how this bank treats guests? People who come ask if the money was stolen. How do you think of me as a young person?"
Want to extort my money? It turns out that this is how banks are run. It’s really eye-opening. I wonder if those who have saved money with you will never get it back in the end?”
"We can't afford the little girl's words. Our bank deals fairly and no one is bullied." The conversation between the boy in blue and Lin Zhu alarmed the shopkeeper inside the counter who was doing the accounting. The boy in blue was at fault, but Lin Zhu's words
When word spread, the bank's reputation was half ruined. He couldn't bear the responsibility, so he quickly came out to clarify. "Are you supporting him?" When Lin Zhu saw the shopkeeper coming out, he deliberately used the tone of a child fighting,
Pointing at the guy in blue, he said, "Little girl, don't be angry. This guy of mine was talking nonsense and said the wrong thing. Don't be the same as him. I'll ask him to apologize to you later. You're here to exchange money, right? I'll have someone pay you right away."
After you exchange it, can I give you the full amount?" The shopkeeper didn't want to ruin the reputation of the bank, so he had to give Lin Zhu some benefits and coax her, and asked her not to talk nonsense after she went out.
"Then my money was still stolen?" "Of course not," he turned and waved to the man in blue standing nearby, "Why don't you come over and apologize to the little girl?"
Because he had wasted a lot of time just now, Lin Zhu, who wanted to return to Aunt Li immediately, stopped pestering them. He accepted the clerk's apology, took the exchanged money, and promised the shopkeeper that he would not tell anyone about what happened just now.
He left quickly.
