And that pouch full of Ordinary Pearls wasn't the best thing to take back at this time either. If people knew one place had so many treasures, both Monkey Brother and I would be in danger.
This bag of Pearls, I'll have to forsake.
The peaches too, I'll forsake for now.
The tea leaves... can't forsake, this was the best opportunity to collaborate with Shopkeeper Cui, to rely on powerful backing. As just a farming household, no matter how much money we make, we can't protect it. And mother is even less able to protect it.
So, she put those four big Pearls into a pouch. Then she took out the pouch with Ordinary Pearls, picked a few that were slightly better in quality, and put them into her bosom. She still needed to bring some Pearls back just in case. Then she put these two pouches into a backpack and secured it.
