Answer 1

Answer:

It means that she is very poor and also cannot afford to lose any coins. You can read how she wanted to buy a white radish but did not because she considered it a luxury she didn't need.

So she counted her coins to make sure she spent as much needed not more and tied them in a bundle because she cant lose them.
