Chen Zhu lived next door to her, and he had many books. Previously unaware, it was only after seeing the list Meng Liangdong made that she realized how expensive books actually were!
Meng Liangdong sighed, "Yes, on one hand, it's because paper is very expensive. On the other hand, it's the book itself. The printing and binding process is very labor-intensive."

Expensive paper was an unavoidable issue, but she hadn't expected printing to be costly as well.
"How do we print now, do you know?" she inquired.
