After taking a few steps, she turned her head back deliberately and said, “You from the Zhu Family, go and take a look too. See how great of a bargain the Xiao Family got, and how much of a loss your family has suffered.”
Old Lady of the Zhu Family darkened her face but did not really go to see. If she looked again, she would definitely be so angry that she would really vomit blood. If Su Qingyue hadn’t been sold, the fifty taels of silver would have belonged to her Zhu Family!
Li Gui also didn’t follow.
In the Xiao Family’s courtyard, two donkey carts were parked side by side, with Wang Qi and Liu Yuan waiting nearby.
The window of the master bedroom was open. The three men in the room saw countless large hemp bags on both of the carts. Their wives had mentioned what they had bought yesterday, and they knew that the bags were filled with real food. All three couldn’t help but feel relieved. The Xiao Family had never been able to save money and even often had more expenses than income. Having so much food was enough to last them for half a year.
“Miss Su, where shall we put all of this grain?” Liu Yuan asked.
Su Qingyue opened the door to the storage room, and she had already cleared out space in there to store the grain in the morning, “Just put it here.” freewebnoveℓ.com
“Do you want to check or weigh the grain first?”
Su Qingyue nodded, took out the scale that Second Brother usually used for selling prey from the storage room, and had the two waiters help weigh each hemp bag of grain.
Qian Zhang’s wife was jealous when she saw so much food, “Wife of the Xiao
Family, how much did you pay for all of this grain per jin?”
Qingyue didn’t answer, but Wang Qi did, “Auntie, the rice is seven cents per Jin.”
Qian Zhang’s wife cast an unhappy glance at him, “What Auntie? I’m only a few years older than Su Qingyue, both of us are married. Why do you call her Miss while calling me Auntie? Are you blind? Can’t you see that I’m much better looking than her?”
Wang Qi saw Qian Zhang’s freckled face and her dark skin. She spoke harshly and bitterly, like a shrew. Su Qingyue, on the other hand, had applied something greenish on her face that seemed scary, but her voice was extremely pleasant, like an unmarried young girl. She also had a remarkable temperament, so he casually called her Miss Su.
He didn’t think the shrew was better looking than Su Qingyue, and he didn’t want to offend her. So he had to make an apologetic smile, “This lady… Miss, you are right.” He felt uncomfortable lying to call the shrew a young lady.
“What do you mean!” Xiao Yuchuan, in the room, overheard the conversation and was displeased. “My wife is much better looking than Qian Zhang’s. Look at Qian Zhang’s yellow and ugly face with spots. Saying she’s better looking than my wife, are your eyes slanted!”
“Uh…” Wang Qi realized that the man was Miss Su’s husband, which made him a customer and he couldn’t afford to offend him.
Qian Zhang’s wife couldn’t stand it any longer, “Xiao Yuchuan, is your wife not ugly with those pus sores on her face? I’m better looking than her!”
“My wife is better looking than you, ten times, a hundred times better!” Xiao Yuchuan refused to back down.
“Xiao Yuchuan, are you even a man?” Among the young wives in the village, Qian Zhang was the ugliest. She couldn’t tolerate it when someone said Su Qingyue was better looking than her, “You, a big man, are quarreling with me.
Are you not ashamed?”
“I’m not quarreling with you,” Xiao Yuchuan said coldly, “Anyway, I just think my wife is much better looking than you!”
“Both of you!” Wang Qi hurriedly interrupted, “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t I called her…” He pointed at Qian Zhang’s wife, “I shouldn’t have called he Auntie. I’ll call her Miss…”
“Humph!” Qian Zhang’s wife gave him an ugly look, “What kind of grain shop are you running? Charging seven cents per jin for brown rice? Other stores only charge five cents!”
