Now she had seven hundred yuan, one hundred from her father's pension which she had withdrawn, six hundred yuan in land compensation from the village chief, and over one hundred yuan left over from previous savings. After moving and buying curtains among other daily necessities, she was left with about seven hundred yuan—her entire fortune.
She didn't know when she would receive her salary from the organization; it would probably be around the same time others received their salaries, so there was no rushing it.
