Paine's game

After listening to Paine's words, Old Tom patted his forehead in enlightenment and said: "You are absolutely right! Then how long should I wait before looking for Cinderella?"

Paine secretly thought that this mandrill was indeed not very smart, but that was fine. If things didn't work out, he would be happy to count the money for him if he sold it back to Maria.

"Well~" Pan En pretended to ponder for a moment, "You can go find her in the evening. You should remember it! I have told you several times before! No need for me to repeat it!

”

"Remember, remember."

Old Tom nodded hurriedly, "But I still don't quite understand why we need to approach Cinderella in this way? It's too troublesome! Can't you just tell her that you have received a favor from her mother, and now you can repay her favor?"
"Cinderella was still very young when Mrs. Green died. Cinderella would not know that Mrs. Green was kind to me, so we could only win her trust through roundabout ways."

Paine patiently explained to the stupid mandrill.

"But how do you know she will believe Pigeon's words?"

Old Tom's problems come one after another.

Paine found that talking to this mandrill was really tiring.

"Old Tom, why are you asking so many questions? It would be a waste of time to talk about many things from the beginning! In short, the method will work, right? Do you still want to get Maria?"

As soon as these words came out, they finally had some effect, and Old Tom suddenly stopped talking.

"Anyway, if you find Cinderella at night, ask her to come directly to your house to meet us. You can go back to your own house to rest first. I have to buy some other things. By the way, do you have money?",<

/p>

"Money?"

Old Tom blinked in confusion, "What do you want money for?"

"If you want to catch Maria and her daughter, you must first catch their painful feet. There is a deep-seated reason why they don't want Cinderella to attend the ball. So our first step is to help Cinderella go to the ball. You always

We can't just let her go to the prom in such disgrace, right? How can she go to the prom without a beautiful dress, jewelry, and dancing shoes? Doesn't it cost money to buy these things? I don't have that much money with me.

Let me borrow some from you first. Wait, what’s your expression like that? When we get Maria, she will have enough money to pay you back!”

That's right, Paine's idea is to replace the original mother Hazel to help Cinderella attend the ball, so of course he needs to take care of the dresses and jewelry made of gold and silver, and the dance shoes made of crystal. To get these, of course he needs to

Money.

"I understand, I do still have some money here, but it may not be enough to buy a decent outfit."

Old Tom took out a money bag from his clothes and handed it to Paine.

Paine shook the weight of his money bag and took out a handful of silver flake coins.

"That's it? That's really not enough."

Old Tom was so intimidated by Paine's previous gesture that he smashed the soup bowl into pieces that he didn't dare to say anything. He just laughed to ease the embarrassment.

"Forget it, tell me where there is a clothing store or tailor shop here? If you don't have enough money, I will find a way."

Old Tom thought for a while and said: "There are many ready-made clothing shops in the village, which are full of ready-made dresses. There are also some high-end styles. You can go there to buy them."

"Well, so which store owners are ordinary people?"
