Having unexpectedly received one string of cash for running errands, Wufu, who usually didn't have snacks at home, bought some to have on hand; she also bought some embroidery thread for her mother.
As noon approached, Wufu touched her stomach, just as she sat down at a small wonton stall and ordered a bowl, only having had a couple of bites when she saw people rushing past her.
"Quick, someone is betting on stones at the Hundred Treasures Silver Building again."
"Oh, could it be stones found on Maofeng Mountain again? After so many years, not many good stones have turned up."
"That's exactly why we should go watch the fun. It's Old Man Shen."
"Again, him? That stubborn old man lost several bets without yielding any good items and he is back for more? Let's go, let's go take a look!"
Betting on stones?
Wufu's eyes lit up for a moment, hastily finished the wontons in her bowl, paid the bill, and then followed the crowd over.
