So it was under Qiao Duo'er's forceful insistence that the decision to set up a stall at the dock was made.
Qiao Duo'er brought out the box where she kept the money, and took out all the scattered copper coins and broken silver; this was all that she and Tan Zhenghong had for their entire wealth.
When they divided the family assets, they received just over one tael of silver. Tan Zhenghong's handcrafted goods sold for about one tael of silver, and Qiao Duo'er earned two taels of silver from selling medicinal herbs.
However, their expenditures were also significant, so they hadn't managed to save too much silver.
Now, Qiao Duo'er still had two taels of broken silver left and, additionally, over two hundred assorted copper coins.
Qiao Duo'er took out fifty wen to give to Sun Erhu, asking him to take the money and buy eggs from another family.
