Lin Momo only took some storefront items from the lotus leaf bag; she never intended to offer a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
Don't call her stingy; this purse is no cheaper than those copper coins.
That's secondary.
The key point is that she still has copper coins to sell, and she needs to continue using this purse as a prop.
"Exactly 99 coins, no more, no less!" In no time, Lin Momo finished counting them, and the purse was also taken away, leaving only a small mountain of copper coins on the table.
Then, he handed over a card, saying, "Please transfer the money to this bank card of mine, take a break!"
Wu Yue, who was chatting with Shi Guang, turned around, took the bank card, glanced at it, and asked her with a smile, "I still have cash here, do you want it?"
Lin Momo paused for a moment, then asked, "How many?"
Nowadays, online payments are the norm, and fewer and fewer shops accept cash.
The law stipulates that cash cannot be refused, but in reality, merchants often refuse cash in order to save trouble. Not only some private shops refuse cash, but also some government halls are frequently reported to be refusing cash. No one cares about the legal provisions that prohibit refusing cash.
Just like no company or factory cares about labor laws.
However, cash is still quite practical in second- and third-tier cities, especially in some rural areas where people generally accept cash.
Just in time, Lin Momo had planned to go to these places to purchase a batch of supplies.
It's good to keep some cash on hand, so you don't have to go to the bank to withdraw cash when you need it and get all sorts of questions and annoyed.
It's clearly my own money, and I want to get it, but I still have to be mindful of other people's opinions.
If you lose your patience, the other party will immediately seize the moral high ground and say, "This is all for your own good, to prevent you from being deceived," leaving you with no way to reason with them.
Wu Yue laughed and said, "I have a million. I was just about to go to the bank to deposit it. If you want it, I'll give it to you, so I don't have to make the trip."
"Wow, so many! How heavy must they be?" Lin Momo gasped.
I thought it would be a couple hundred thousand, I didn't expect it to be this much!
That was really careless.
Your family must be really rich. But why do you keep so much cash in the store all the time?
Aren't they afraid of being robbed?
Wu Yue smiled casually, "They're all 100-yuan notes, not heavy at all, less than 12 kilograms, to be precise, 11.56 kilograms. One person can carry them."
It seems alright.
12 kilograms, or about 24 pounds, is indeed easy to carry.
However, it might be a bit difficult for her to lift it, while Shi Guang should be able to lift it easily.
Once back at the hotel, she could store it in her spatial storage.
People often say they count money until their hands cramp, and Lin Momo inexplicably wanted to experience the fun of counting money until her hands cramped as well.
Besides, a string of numbers can't compare to the impact of a pile of real objects.
This is why people usually don't feel bad about swiping their cards, but feel the pinch when buying things with cash.
But Lin Momo neither said yes nor no; instead, she looked at Shi Guang, wanting to ask for his opinion.
After all, she didn't know where the money came from, so she might as well let time be the judge for her.
Shi Guang received Lin Momo's gaze, and the next moment he turned to Wu Yue and asked, "Is there a problem with all this cash?"
Time asked the question very subtly.
Could it be that the money came from an illegitimate source or is counterfeit?
"Don't worry, come to me if there are any problems," Wu Yue assured him patiently, without getting annoyed.
As he spoke, he opened the safe in the corner and gestured for Shi Guang to inspect the goods at his leisure.
Time really didn't hold back and casually pulled out two stacks, looked at them, and then threw them into the safe, saying, "Put them away."
Cash is hardly useful these days, and it's not safe to carry around with you, so there's no need to create trouble for yourself.
But Lin Momo wanted to, and although he didn't know what she was planning, Shi Guang decided to go along with her for now. At worst, he could deposit the money into the bank for her when he got back, which wouldn't take much trouble.

When Shi Guang came out of the antique market, dressed in a shirt and trousers, looking like an elite, he was carrying a black plastic bag that looked like it was filled with bricks, which created a visual incongruity.
Passersby couldn't help but turn their heads to take a look out of curiosity.
Lin Momo followed behind him a step behind, occasionally covering her mouth and giggling.
After taking the elevator down to the parking lot, Shi Guang first put the plastic bag in his hand in the trunk before getting into the car.
Lin Momo, who had already climbed into the passenger seat, asked him shyly, "Is it very heavy?"
Although it wasn't too heavy, carrying it all the way without switching hands must have been quite an effort.
Shiguang shook his head and asked her in return, "How do you plan to spend this money? Or should I take you to the bank to deposit it now?"
"Don't rush to save it," Lin replied vaguely, then took out her phone and glanced at the time. It was almost five o'clock. She then said excitedly, "Thanks to you for your help today, I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"
Having just escaped poverty and become wealthy, Lin Momo felt a surge of pride as she had money in her hands.
Money gives people courage; this saying is indeed very true.
"Okay, what do you want to eat?" Shi Guang started the car and asked casually with a smile.
"Want to go to Haidilao for hot pot? But there might be a long queue."
It is said that Haidilao is always crowded and you have to queue up whenever you go.
Everyone says that Haidilao is the pinnacle of hot pot, so Lin Momo decided to go and experience it for herself today to see if it's as amazing as the legends say.
Shi Guang was very supportive and said, "It's okay, there's still plenty of time. Even if you go now, you can still get to the front of the line. There's a restaurant near your hotel, and after you finish eating, I can easily take you back."
Lin Momo suddenly felt a lump in her throat and inexplicably became sad. She said dejectedly, "Why are you so good to me? Maybe one day... you'll feel it's not worth it."
"Lin Momo, what nonsense are you talking about? Did I say something wrong?" Shi Guang suddenly felt a pang of anxiety and turned to ask her, somewhat at a loss.
Just a moment ago they were excitedly talking about going to eat hot pot, but now they look like they're about to cry.
His mood shift was too sudden, like the weather in March, changing in an instant. He probably didn't say anything to upset her, right?
Shi Guang quickly reflected on his actions, but he was still completely baffled.
Once she came to her senses, Lin Momo composed herself and forced a smile, saying, "I'm fine now, you can focus on driving."

After finishing their hot pot meal and taking a short walk, Lin Momo said she was tired and wanted to go home.
After an afternoon outing, Shi Guang was worried that she might not be able to handle it, so he drove her back to the hotel. He even took the one million yuan in cash from the trunk and carried it upstairs for her, putting it directly into the wardrobe.
Aside from the day we checked in, this was the first time Time had come up here.
