After leaving Su Ci's house, Qiao Wanwan hurried without stopping to the bank in Ping'an Town, intending to exchange for a bank note.
Unfortunately, Ping'an Town was merely a barren little town by the East Sea; how could it possibly produce a thousand-tael bank note all at once? With no other choice, Qiao Wanwan made another trip to the pawnshop and mortgaged her jade pendant there.
Even with all her efforts to raise money, she only managed to exchange for five hundred taels, which, added to what she already had on her, came to just five hundred and thirty-eight taels. Qiao Wanwan, who had never worried about money in her life, tasted the feeling of being strapped for cash for the very first time.
