The next morning, Widow Xie and Hu Liang set off for the county town.
Before they left, Ji Huan gave Hu Liang some instructions. The two silver ingots were top-grade patterned silver, and she told him to be extremely careful when exchanging them so he wouldn't get cheated and bring back lower-quality silver.
After all, even at the same weight, the lower-quality silver was worth less than half of the patterned silver.
Hu Liang actually hadn't known that.
However, he was heading to the largest Money Shop in the county town. He'd heard it had a great reputation and even employed special money customers to appraise the silver, so they probably wouldn't cheat their clients.
Widow Xie wanted Ji Huan to go with them, but Ji Huan had other things to attend to, so she didn't go.
"Aunt Wang, are you home?"
Aunt Wang was in the courtyard mixing bran feed for the chickens. Hearing someone call, she wiped her hands on her apron and went to open the door.
