Manbao replied without a second thought, "I don't lack money."
Changyu, looking unconvinced, glanced at her, "And yet you can't even build a proper wooden bridge? That's not lacking money?"
Manbao said, "I'm being thrifty."
With a serious expression, she said, "Thriftiness is a virtue."
"What virtue?" Bai Erlang and Bai Shan, who were a few steps behind with their baskets, hurried over the wooden bridge and handed them a basket, "Why didn't you wait for us?"
Manbao took the basket and turned around, "We sent someone to call you two hours ago, you must have been lying in bed."
The group walked towards the mountain, with guards and attendants clearing the way in front, though it wasn't necessary at all.
Near Pu Village, there was only this one mountain, and since large timbers often came from this mountain, it was frequently trekked, creating clear paths that weren't difficult to walk.
