A few hot-blooded young men were stunned. Maybe they thought my reaction seemed a bit too nice for them.
After all, they didn't think it was possible for anyone to spit out again what they had eaten into their stomachs. A bunch of prepared tricks suddenly had no place to use. They were like deflated leather balls.
Xaviera looked at my eyes with a bit of disbelief. She had inquired. Then she knew that the villagers had all paid a deposit, which was not a small amount of money.
“You're as good as your word, Auntie Carmen. The elderly at home have difficulty walking and are too lazy to make a trip. In this case, you'll just return the money directly to us now.”
I looked at her softly. I then returned the paper money without saying a word.
“Let me say this first, Xaviera. I will return this money fully refunded to you. All paper money orders for this year will be cancelled.”
There were many parties and workers involved in making this paper money. The workers not only had to use stone grinders to grind the paper into pulp, but they also had to bring the paper money to be offered to the gods as well as offering incense and reciting scriptures.
