Everyone Pampers the Small Blessing Who Has a Spatial Pocket! - Chapter 295
295 Saving Money
“Stop here. Go find an inn. We won’t go back tonight. We’ll return tomorrow morning.”
Most people would not spend the night, but under special circumstances, Old Madam Wang did not allow the Wang family to travel at night, so when there was not enough time, they usually would spend the night outside before going back when the sky was bright.
Wang Dalang felt a little uneasy. “Grandma, are you letting me book an inn?”
!!
Old Madam Wang took out her purse and took out a piece of paper. “Why? Can’t I order you around?”
“No, no. Grandma, I’ve never gone to an inn before, so I don’t know if I can…” Wang Dalang had worked with Wang Chuanfu before, but he had never experienced having so much money.
This piece of paper should be worth three to four taels of silver. Was Grandma so willing to part with it?
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go!” Old Madam Wang frowned, looking like she was about to flare up.
As Old Madam Wang spoke, she got off the donkey cart.
Wang Dalang hurriedly drove the donkey cart two steps forward and stuck his head out to ask, “Grandma, what if you get lost later?”
“Even if you lose yourself, I won’t get lost!” Old Madam Wang waved her hand in disdain. “Hurry up and go. You’re so busy but have so much to say. If your father was here, I would have slapped him!”
Only then did Wang Dalang shrink his neck and drive the donkey cart away.
After walking for a while, Wang Dalang abruptly came back to his senses and wondered how much a room at the inn should cost for a night.
If he paid too much, wouldn’t Grandma beat him to death?
Thinking of Old Madam Wang’s angry expression, Wang Dalang panicked even more.
“I need to calm down first. I’ll go and see how other people do it.” Wang Dalang had an idea. He recalled that he had seen Grandma bargain with others before and thought that if he bargained with them later, it should be cheaper.
Old Madam Wang naturally did not tell him this information on purpose.
“I hope you’re smarter than your father.” Old Madam Wang casually glanced in the direction Wang Dalang left before dusting herself off and walking towards the Ruyi Bank not far away.
The Ruyi Bank was the one where Chi Tu had withdrawn the banknotes from. Old Madam Wang wanted to change to another bank.
The assistant behind the counter saw that an ordinary-looking old lady had come, but he didn’t care much and casually asked her, “Old lady, do you want to deposit or withdraw?”
“Withdraw.” Old Madam Wang placed the banknotes on the counter. “Withdraw everything.”
The shop assistant thought that it would at most be 50 taels, but in the end, it was 2,000 taels.
He had woken up from his sleepiness.
He swallowed his saliva. “Old Madam, are you going to withdraw everything?!”
Old Madam Wang was impatient. “Hurry up, there’s still a lot of things to do. Don’t delay.”
“Old Madam, this amount is quite large. I can’t make the decision. Please rest inside first. I’ll invite the Manager over now!”
The assistant brought Old Madam Wang into the guest room at the back before rushing to the attic to look for the sleeping Manager.
As soon as he heard that someone was going to withdraw 2,000 taels, the Manager no longer felt sleepy and hurriedly got up.
2,000 taels of silver was not a small sum. How could an old lady come to take it when the silver could fill two large boxes?
Moreover, they usually did not prepare too much cash. They only used the money that other people deposited.
When the Manager saw Old Madam Wang, he immediately wanted to glare at the assistant.
How was this an ordinary old lady? Look at her aura. One look and one could tell that she was not an ordinary person!
The Manager had traveled the world for many years and was experienced. He knew that even the eldest wife of an ordinary merchant might not be so calm.
The Manager walked over with a smile. “Old Madam…”
Old Madam Wang put down the hot tea in her hand and nodded at the Manager. “Manager.”
15 minutes later, the shopkeeper smiled even more sincerely and sent Old Madam Wang out respectfully.
The assistant did not understand. “Manager, isn’t that old lady going to deposit the money in another bank? Why are you still so polite to her?”
Although the old lady only exchanged the banknotes for a token in the end, there was no need to flatter her so much.
