The others were getting more and more panicked. “Yes, if my mom knows that I returned the paper money, she will have to pull my tendons and skin me alive.”
One of them asked Xaviera briefly, “Where did you see these two large bags of paper money?”
Xaviera's eyes carried a hint of a triumphant smile. She finally cut to the chase.
“Don't worry, guys. A new paper money shop has opened at the east entrance of the village. It's my high school classmate who came home to start his own business. He told me how much he bought.”
They listened to Xaviera's words carefully.
Xaviera continued her words, “Two dollars for a big bag! There are also paper-tied airplanes, cell phones, cars, etc. All items there are very cheap.”
Someone frowned. “Such cheap paper money, is it decent?”
Someone slapped him hard on the head. “What's decent or not? It's not simple things, Xaviera. These crooks, they want the mentality of people like you!”
Xaviera smiled and looked at everyone. “It's just something to burn, so it's okay. Don't worry, guys. This store is a partnership between me and my classmates.”
