Madame Qiao knew that was how it should be.
If she could give something up now, she would obtain more in the future in return.
"I will try my best."
Madame Qiao had some jade and a few favorite ornaments pressed at the bottom of her boxes. She got them pawned in the province.
The pawn shops were all very stingy. Anything worth more than 100 liang would only be pawned at 30%, not fetching more than 30 liang. Also, if the person pawning wanted to get them back, the fees would be raised multiple times.
Even if she chose to give them as fixed goods, the things would fetch 70% at most, mostly 50%.
Madame Qiao's ornaments and jadeware should be worth around 13,000 liang but after pawning, she only got 7,600 liang in total.
When the money and the invoices were brought back, Madame Qiao felt her chest ache. She felt so distressed.
