Chunxiao had a purpose in choosing the last day of October. The end of October was the day for profit distribution. If the cotton was left at home, the restaurant would give her the profit in loose change. She still had more than 400 taels of loose change in her hand, which should be enough to cover the cost.
Yan Dashan and Yan Dahe have been very anxious recently. They have grown so much good cotton with great difficulty, but they cannot sell it because of a dog-like county magistrate.
