Fearing that her daughter couldn't handle it, after all, this was silver!
She hurriedly, with trembling hands, took the silver and put it in her bosom, and patted it to make sure, before she finally felt at ease.
Wang Yongzhu came back to herself and realized that Old Granny Zhang had misunderstood. She was excited, certainly, but not because of the silver—it was the Points, okay?
Then she noticed the shop assistant glancing over with a hint of scorn and the typical urban disdain for rural folk, felt a blockage in her heart, knew it was best not to linger in the restaurant, politely thanked Shopkeeper Wu, and took her leave with Old Granny Zhang.

These ignorant country women don't know the value of things; wouldn't a few taels of silver have sufficed to appease them?"
