Early that morning, Lin Zezu saw Fugui off as he departed Jingshang in a carriage provided by the restaurant.
Lin Zezu had originally intended for Fugui to rent a carriage to return to Linjiang Village, but Manager Ma would hear none of it. Upon hearing that Sister Jiang and her party were also heading into town, he insisted on assigning two carriages to accompany Fugui back to the village. Lin Zezu had no choice but to accept; after all, once you’ve piled up enough favors, you stop worrying about owing more.
Before leaving, Fugui handed over the five hundred taels in banknotes he hadn't managed to give away the day before, along with the twenty taels of silver he had on his person, pressing it all into Lin Zezu’s hands.
