“Co on, Mrs. Qian Zhang, at least you can afford to buy the dicinal mud. Didn’t Li Cai just say it? He wants a wife who is at least ten tis better-looking than Su Qingyue. Are you ten tis prettier?” Wang Qigu teased, “I think you’re… at best, just about the sa as Su Qingyue.”
“Hmph.” Qian Zhang let out a cold snort and looked at Su Qingyue. Although her face was covered with sores, she still appeared clean and tidy, much better looking than her previous slovenly appearance.
She used to be the second ugliest new wife in the village, with Su Qingyue ranked as the first ugliest. Now they are evenly matched.
Su Qingyue returned the three cents to Li Cai, “I’m doing honest business, and I don’t need the extra three cents.” It wasn’t that she was pretending to be generous; she had confird that her debt of 128 cents was not only covered but also slightly exceeded. Li Cai had given her three extra cents in front of so many villagers. Taking it would make people think she was being greedy, so she returned it.
Li Cai didnt expect Su Qingyue to actually return the three cents, so he took it back, “The wife of the Xiao Family is not greedy.”
“That’s right, the wife of the Xiao Family is very honest…’
“She does look like a trustworthy person…”
“It’s rare to see soone not taking more money than necessary…” Everyone praised her with various comnts.
Su Qingyue listened and felt that these words were worth more than three cents. She was glad she returned it. Three cents was too little, but if soone gave her three taels, she would happily take it.
Qian Zhang held the five packs of dicinal mud she bought, along with the six gifted packs, and thought it might be too much. So she asked, “Wife of the Xiao Family, I think I bought too much. Can I return one pack?” It’d be better to return the gifted pack, which would an she got five packs for only eight cents, cheaper than others.
“Sure,” Su Qingyue casually replied, “You can’t return the gift pack you’ve used, but you can take one pack from the other five.” Then she took two cents from the basket and handed it to her.
Seeing Su Qingyue agree so readily to the return, Qian Zhang was hesitant again, “Is this dicinal mud really made of expensive herbs?”
“Yes.” Cheap materials, plus the labor cost of Su Qingyue preparing it personally, didn’t it beco expensive then?
Qian Zhang handed the two cents back to her, “Then I won’t return it.”
“Suit yourself.” Su Qingyue patiently took back the two copper coins. Honestly, touching these copper coins made her happy. She used to be short of more than a hundred copper coins to pay off her debt, and the n of the Xiao Family were worried to death.
Liu Xiaohong approached from a distance, and when she heard everyone praising Su Qingyue and saw people buying from her, she was displeased, “She’s only a thief, and no matter what, she’ll always be one. A thief and an honest person are incompatible. Don’t be deceived by her appearance.”
She glanced at Su Qingyue’s jars and the dicine bags in everyone’s hands,
“What are you all doing? Why did you all buy from Su Qingyue?”
“The dicinal mud toothpaste she sells is really good. It can clean teeth,” Qian Zhang chid in.
Liu Xiaohong, Liu Xianglian’s cousin sister, heard her cousin constantly complaining about how bad Su Qingyue was. Naturally, she harbored deep resentnt towards Su Qingyue, “You dare to buy what Su Qingyue sells? She used to have filthy hands. Once a thief, always a thief. Be careful if her products are poisonous, that will cause trouble.”
Everyone beca scared after hearing her words, and the person who bought eight packs said, ‘Wife of the Xiao Family, I think I’ll return these.”
“ too…”
“Count in, I don’t want them either..”
