Falling Moons in a Barren Year, the Cub is Idle

Qin Luoluo lived in a daze for over ten years. Then came the drought, and mountain bandits attacked the village...

Qin Luo, a newly admitted college student, experienced the apocalypse. Her p...

Chapter 168 Humble Status

Just as Qin Liang and Qin Xian were about to stop them, they heard Wu Hua's telepathic message.

"What are you two trying to do?"

The two of them immediately became obedient upon hearing this.

Knowing that Wu Hua wanted it, Qin Xian had no choice but to reluctantly give up the two longevity locks in his hand!

Just as she finished setting it down, she heard Wu Hua ask in confusion again.

"What's wrong? You don't like them? It's okay, after Luoluo buys them, you can pick out a few more you like!"

Qin Xian's gaze at Qin Luo was so intense it seemed to spit fire; he longed to pick her up and spin her around a few times.

Qin Luo was frightened by his expression, so she quickly found him something to do.

"Uncle, you're getting ready to move things. Uncle, you go settle the accounts with the shopkeeper!"

Then he pushed the silver in front of Qin Liang.

"Uncle, see if this is enough. If not, just let me get more!"

After Qin Liang nodded, he took the silver and followed the shopkeeper to the counter.

The waiter was overjoyed, pouring tea and water for Qin Luo and giving her many snacks.

"Thank you so much, sir! I can take ten percent of the silver from the jewelry you bought today!"

Qin Luo sized up the waiter in front of him. He seemed honest-looking, so she said a few words.

"Don't tell anyone these things again. What if they're unreasonable and demand you give them back?"

The waiter scratched his head upon hearing this.

"I've remembered that, and I won't mention it again. Today was just too wonderful!"

Seeing his honest and simple nature, Qin Luo thought she might as well buy a gift for everyone in the family, so that they could all be happy.

She glanced at the waiter and raised an eyebrow.

"Since you're so happy, let me make you happy again! Go get three jade pendants of good quality, and two thumb rings. Let's go to the counter to pay. I'll go get the silver now!"

After she finished speaking, she ran downstairs. Qin Xian, hearing that she was going to get the silver, immediately chased after her.

Qin Liang ignored the two of them and continued calculating!

A silver hairpin costs two taels, three cost six taels! A silver bracelet costs eight taels, three cost twenty-four taels.

Each hair ornament weighs nine taels, eight ornaments weigh seventy-two taels! There are thirty longevity locks.

Each piece has a different price, totaling 270 taels!

The waiter brought over three jade pendants, each costing twenty taels, and the three pendants costing sixty taels in total!

Thumb rings are fifteen taels each, two are thirty taels! A total of four hundred and sixty-two taels!

Qin Luo and Qin Xian went out for a walk and came back carrying two large sacks.

Qin Liang had just picked up his teacup and taken a sip when he saw two people swaggering in carrying two bags of silver. He almost choked on his tea.

The shopkeeper and the shop assistants were completely dumbfounded.

He thought to himself: "It must be a big spender, otherwise who could produce so much cash in a minute?"

The two men placed the silver next to Qin Liang.

"Uncle, this should be enough!"

Qin Liang was speechless.

He took out two hundred taels from the bag, had the shopkeeper weigh it, and then gave him his change.

Qin Luo glanced at the rows of wooden boxes on the counter.

Then he looked at the remaining silver in the bag.

"How can it be so cheap? Doesn't a jade pendant usually cost hundreds or thousands of taels?"

Qin Xian couldn't stand it anymore.

"Luo Luo, were you reading storybooks with your aunt?"

Qin Luo didn't understand what he meant: "Huh?"

The waiter kindly explained to her

"Miss, ordinary people like us can't use the finest jade. These are already the best we have in our shop. Anything more expensive than that, we can't wear, or we'll get arrested!"

Qin Luo nodded to indicate that he understood.

He complained to Wu Hua in his heart

"Little one, I thought it was just gold that couldn't be used, but I didn't realize even jade could only be used in inferior quality!"

The Martial Arts Encyclopedia is back online.

"Because in the class-based era, gold was monopolized by the nobility, and commoners rarely saw it. The finest jade artifacts were only worn by royalty and nobility; commoners were forbidden from wearing them. If a high-quality jade artifact was found in a commoner's home, it would be considered stolen!"

Qin Luo then realized just how lowly her status was.

"Luckily, I never took out those pearls and jade from my spatial storage. The hierarchy is terrifying!"

Wu Hua began to analyze the situation objectively.

"Yes! The gap between classes is a difficult chasm to bridge. Aristocrats can decide the fate of commoners with a few casual words, while commoners toil their entire lives just to barely have enough to eat!"

''well!''

Both the human and the beast sighed in unison.

Qin Liang paid the money and handed the remaining silver to Qin Xian to carry.

They then asked the shopkeeper to find a burlap sack to put all the boxes inside, and the shopkeeper did as instructed.

The three of them carried the sacks out of the jewelry shop.

One person walked ahead empty-handed, another carried two large bags of silver, and yet another carried a burlap sack.

The three of them went to the place where they had lunch and retrieved the donkey-hide gelatin they had left there.

The waiter handed the reins to Qin Liang.

"Sir, I've already fed the donkey some hay, but it doesn't seem to like it and hasn't eaten much!"

Qin Liang took out ten coins and handed them to him.

"Thank you for your trouble. It has a small appetite and doesn't eat much usually, so we'll have to trouble you to look after it. We'll take our leave now!"

The waiter accepted the tip, his eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Alright! Take care, sir!"

Throughout the entire performance, Ejiao's eyes were filled with sorrow, like a pitiful donkey that had been abandoned.

The three of them put their things away and set off for Danruo Village.

Once they reached a secluded spot on the road, Qin Liang looked at Qin Luo.

"Luo Luo, put away the silver and the things Lord Kang asked for. It's not safe to leave them outside!"

Qin Luo nodded, put twenty longevity pills into his spatial storage, and left the rest untouched.

She took out six silver ingots from the sack, put them in a small cloth bag, and placed it next to Qin Xian.
