As they both emerged from the jewelry shop in town, Yaya looked at Xiao Yu with a face full of admiration.
"Sister, you're amazing, earning money as soon as you said you would! Did you dig those pearls out of the sea yourself?"
Xiao Yu had entered the jewelry shop and sold ten pearls. Since they were sea pearls, not freshwater pearls, she was given 50 copper coins for each one. Ten pearls amounted to 500 coins, which was only half a tael of silver. To Xiao Yu, this price seemed absurdly low. Thankfully, she was only selling them because she urgently needed the money; otherwise, she wouldn't have been willing to let them go.
After all, she had painstakingly extracted each pearl from the shells herself, and it had taken quite an effort to accumulate a jar full. She intended to keep them for making her own jewelry in the future, and definitely could not waste them like this. This had to be a one-time exception.
