Chapter 679: Why Is It You?
Editor: Henyee Translations
However, that person did not see Gu Yundong. She was only talking to the two people beside her.
“It’s all your fault for dragging it out. We ca so late. I wonder if there’s still free dried fruit.”
Another person replied, “How can you bla ? Dahui Road is too far away. We’ve been walking nonstop, haven’t we?”
“Alright, stop arguing. Can’t we just ask if there are any more dried fruits?”
The three of them looked at the counter. Behind the counter sat Madam Yang and Aunt Ke.
They hurriedly went forward to ask, but Aunt Ke answered patiently and nodded to indicate that the free dried fruit was available all day.
The three of them were satisfied and began to size up the shop.
“This shop is really big. It’s even a two-story shop.”
“That’s right. Did you hear what they said on the way here? It seems that even the young lady of the Nie family is here. The young master of the prefecture magistrate’s family is also here.”
“Say, how capable is the owner of this shop? They actually have so much face by opening a shop.”
“That’s right. Let’s stroll around here. Who knows, we might even see these nobles.”
Their voices beca softer and softer as they gathered together to look at the canned food and white sugar on the shelf.
They couldn’t read and didn’t know how much the price was. After thinking about it, they decided to ask a shop assistant.
Coincidentally, there was a shop assistant who was weighing the goods for the custors with his back facing them. The three of them quickly went forward to ask, “Hey, little brother, how much are the white sugar?”
The waiter was Su Changshun. When he heard the voice, he imdiately turned around with a smile. Just as he was about to answer, he was stunned when he saw the three of them.
Not only him, but the three custors were also shocked when they saw him. Their eyes widened in disbelief.
Su Changshun reacted quickly. He smiled professionally and said, “Our white sugar is the cheapest in the entire Xuanhe Prefecture. One tael is only 130 copper coins. How much do you want to buy?”
The white sugar in Fengkai County was one tael for two hundred copper coins, but the purchase was limited. Everyone could only buy five catties a day.
However, this did not change the fact that soone would buy it every day and sell it in the prefectural city when they gathered enough.
These people were much more ruthless. One tael was sold for 150 copper coins, and even more so for 200 copper coins.
Thus, Gu Yundong’s price in the prefectural city was already very reasonable.
However, it was still very expensive for ordinary people.
The three of them took a while to co back to their senses. They didn’t hear what Su Changshun said at all. They just looked at him with uncertainty. After confirming it, they couldn’t help but frown again.
Why was Su Changshun here? How could he be here?
Could it be that the shop he was working in was here? How was that possible? How could a thief like him work in a big shop like this? This was not normal.
The other two neighbors were also stunned. Then, they asked Madam Sun in a low voice, “Didn’t you say that Su Changshun works in a small shop? This is a small shop?”
Madam Sun suddenly ca back to her senses. She shook her head and said stubbornly, “That’s impossible. Who knows what he did? Perhaps the owner of this shop isn’t the one I saw the other day at all. The owner here doesn’t know that he used to be a thief.”
She glared at Su Changshun fiercely. “You, just you wait. I’ll expose you now.”
However, as soon as she finished speaking, soone stood in front of her.
Madam Sun looked up and t Gu Yundong’s penetrating gaze. She instantly shivered.
