The journey from his home on Shisong Street to Lishui District was nearly an hour long. Since Chen Cheng was being transferred to work in Lishui District, the daily commute would be very inconvenient. He had originally planned to buy a house in Lishui District, but the money he had clearly wasn't enough.
'Oh well, I'll just have to make do for a few months.' Muttering to himself, Chen Cheng placed the box back into the secret compartment under the floor tile.
Fortunately, he had several sources of income: a monthly tribute of thirty taels of silver from Luo's Shop, fifty taels from the Shen Family, and a salary of ten taels from the City Guard Department. With a total monthly income of ninety taels, if he held out for a few more months, he should have enough money to purchase a house in Lishui District.
「Two days later.」
