Xu Sihai sold the fruit soup for three hundred silver, and he had given the money to Su Xinyu personally.
Because of the previous transaction of silver, Madam Liu and Madam Su knew that Xu Sihai was Tian Liyong's master, and wouldn't harm them. Therefore, when Tian Liyong returned from the Guard Camp, he sent a message to them, asking them to personally bring the little girl to the shop, Madam Liu and Madam Su didn't think too much about it. Furthermore, they did not stop Shopkeeper Xu from talking to Su Xinyu alone.
Su Xinyu didn't think that the three hundred silver was so expensive. Furthermore, the shopkeeper Xu was already very considerate to change all the silver notes to the ones with small denominations. She also understood that this was Young Master Wen's intention. Of course, the most important thing was that she knew that although this Dry-Fruit Noodle Roll was very simple, there weren't many people who ate it and sold it at a high price as an auspicious item. Therefore, the audience that the Dry-Fruit Noodle Roll faced was either rich or expensive, so three hundred taels of silver was not a big deal for those people.
However, she was grateful from the bottom of her heart, ”Thank you for your help, Shopkeeper Xu. But there are two more things I want to ask of you. ”
Manager Xu smiled and nodded, ”Just tell me, Lady Zhou.” I am duty-bound to help if I can. ”
Su Xinyu sighed: ”You should know about my family's situation. It's not that I'm ruthless, but that I can live for my mother and myself. I must keep the money for myself. My mother's heart was too soft, and my grandparents and aunts weren't that easy to deal with. My father never came to my home and only knew about the Imperial Examinations. I had to make plans for my mother and myself. ”So you just say that you gave me eighty silvers later, is that okay?”
He would even dare to kill people in the harem at the age of the Zhou Family girl, not to mention that he was only planning to live a good life for himself and his mother. ”Thus, Manager Xu did not feel that there was any problem.” I understand. What about the other one? ”
Su Xinyu laughed: ”This matter is also beneficial to you. I believe the Big Brother Yong has also told you. The almond walnuts and sunflower seeds in the dried fruit we have here. It was just that no one had cared about it before. I thought, ”In the future, these things will be supplied by our village. Although the quantity may not be satisfactory, but without you, we can go back and buy more, so you don't need to take so much.” More or less, it's giving our village a hand. Furthermore, those peanuts and seeds can be planted, and my step grandfather said that he would plant them in the fields every year. If it's feasible, would Shopkeeper Xu be able to purchase it and sell it? ”
Shopkeeper Xu did not expect Su Xinyu to tell him this, and upon hearing it, he was startled, then laughed out loud: ”Good, good, good! The Lady Xinyu is too righteous! Wealth is not avaricious, can benefit the neighbors. Your heart is something that no one else has. Although I am a businessman, but the benefits of mutual benefit in the countryside will not refuse. Good! As long as Two-boundary Village can be supplied, I will accept them all. But did you ever think of letting the villagers know that it was you who did it? ”
Su Xinyu thought for a moment, and in the end, shook her head: ”Forget it, to avoid trouble, it's better to let the Big Brother Yong shoulder this good reputation. After all, he was a man. It was better to tell others what he was doing. If it were me, who can guarantee that it would be good words. ”
”Xu Sihai was admiring and sighing a little as he watched such a slightly older girl see through so many things. Good. ”As you wish.”
After receiving the eighty taels of silver from Manager Xu. Madam Su's hands were trembling, to the point that she didn't dare to receive them.
However, Madam Liu was already calm. She had gotten the one hundred and fifty taels previously. ”What's the big deal about this eighty taels of silver?” What are you doing? Take it. Otherwise, I will just have to let the little girl carry it all by herself. ”
”It was only then that Madam Su woke up from its stupor and hurriedly took the silver notes. ”Many thanks.”
Manager Xu smiled. ”Yes, I want to thank Lady Zhou. Without Lady Zhou's good idea, even if I sold myself, I wouldn't be able to sell myself for that much money.” Madam's daughter will definitely be rich in the future. ”If you are willing to let Miss Zhou have more opportunities to interact with the outside world, I'm sure that a normal man would not be able to do as well as Miss Zhou.”
Hearing that someone praised his daughter to be stronger than even a man, Madam Su was naturally happy. But as a parent, they would always be willing to be humble, and Madam Su was no exception. Not at all. Manager Xu, you flatter me. ”
Xu Sihai naturally did not do it for the sake of greeting Madam Su. The three of them were not suitable to stay in the shop for long, so he wrapped up some dried fruits and a box of brushes and ink for Su Xinyu and let the three of them leave. He still had many things to do. The throne of power seemed far away from his reach, but for people like them, it was a matter that concerned their lives.
Carrying these banknotes, Madam Su was both happy and uneasy. He was happy that his daughter was able to earn money that no one else could save in half of their lifetime just by thinking about it in front of the stove at home. However, what he was worried about was his capable daughter. If her future was ruined because of his inability, then wouldn't she be a sin if she were to be entrusted with something in the future?
Madam Liu and Su Xinyu were very happy along the way. Because it was summer, and it was too hot to travel at noon, Madam Liu decided to bring the mother and daughter pair to the teahouse to listen to books. While drinking tea and eating snacks, she listened to interesting stories, and the afternoon passed leisurely. It was probably because the storyteller's story was too attractive. As Madam Su listened, she forgot about her previous dilemma.
