Old Mrs. Chen gazed at several boxes in the room, which contained the silver coin they brought back from the capital, mostly from selling pink wax paper and wool felt.
"Don't we need the silver coin?" Old Mrs. Chen said, "Didn't we bring it back?"
Mrs. Gao looked at Old Mrs. Chen in surprise.
Old Mrs. Chen said, "What are you looking at? We can keep part of the Chen Family Village's silver coin in the village, but we must not owe outsiders, especially since those kids have to follow Yongyi to such a distant place, it's a long journey, and the family can't help but worry. If we don't give enough silver coin, wouldn't it be oppressing others?"
"Our Chen Family Village was the first to sell medicinal materials and even received several rewards from the court. No matter what, our days are better than those outside," Old Mrs. Chen said, "For the long-term plan, we can only ask everyone to endure for now."
