Chapter 1966: Chapter 1966: Dabao Carries Big Bags
Erniu sighed, dejectedly, “Only his money bag was intact, so the three of us used his money and were extremely frugal, couldn’t even afford a chicken leg.”
Dabao said angrily, “Ah Rui is so sneaky, hiding money exceptionally well. The money bag hanging on his waist was actually stuffed with Xiao Shitou and a few copper coins, the real money was hidden all over his body.”
When he saw it for the first time, he was stunned, dining with copper coins pulled from his sleeves, lodging using pieces of silver pulled from his belt, purchasing goods with silver notes extracted from the hollow wooden hairpin, and money hidden within shoes, collars, gaps in the book box, and even book covers — all scattered around.
Dabao, “I don’t know how he gets so shrewd at such a young age, able to hide money so well.”
Shurui was proud, “This is all my survival experience. When we were in the exile area, things were much more chaotic than here. Besides, if I hadn’t hidden money carefully, we three would be left having the Northwest wind for dinner.”
Shu Yu tilted her head to look at Ying Dong, who always acpanied the three boys on their travels.
However, Shu Yu had instructed early on that Ying Dong was only responsible for their safety, while matters like not having money for food or making friends were left to their own decisions.
So even if their money bag was stolen or they were scammed, Ying Dong could only… watch painfully from the sidelines.
At this moment, seeing the Miss looking over, Ying Dong nodded, “Indeed, Young Masters had a quite, challenging journey.”
Dabao nodded in grief and indignation, “Exactly, we even had to earn money, I carried big bags for others. If my mother knew how much hardship I was facing out here, she’d cry her eyes blind.”
“Carrying big bags?” Meng Han found it thrilling, “You guys even went to carry big bags?”
This time, even Shurui and Erniu felt embarrassed, but they had no choice, they had to be frugal.
Primarily because the money was stolen and scammed due to their own mistakes. Just two days after leaving, they only had one money bag left among the three of them. Being proud individuals, how could they retreat because of minor setbacks?
If they returned home after only two days, wouldn’t others laugh at them?
Although Shurui still had money, it wouldn’t be enough for all three, so after much contemplation, they decided to earn money themselves.
They weren’t born into noble families’ young masters, so finding work wasn’t something they were embarrassed about; having money was the priority.
Except for Dabao, who had really never faced much hardship, but pared to going back and being ridiculed by Shu Yu, doing small errands like delivering letters to earn a little money wasn’t a big deal.
Who knew they’d end up carrying big bags, Dabao cried endlessly that night.
But even so, these three young lads, after carrying big bags for a day, were considered useless and were dismissed the next day.
Later, they washed dishes for people, assisted people with chores; they didn’t earn much, but it offered a premature glimpse into the difficulty of adulthood.
It was during this time that they met Xun Sheng.
Xun Sheng was very curious about why they came here to find work, wondering if something had happened in the county magistrate’s home.
Of course, the trio was embarrassed to admit their money was stolen and scammed, so they claimed they were specially out here to experience life.
Xun Sheng, seeing Ying Dong was following them and not stepping in to help, believed them.
Later, he informed the three that there will be a poetry meeting soon, inviting them to participate.
