“Wait, I’ll give you a discount… How about 1,500 copper coins?” The shopkeeper also realized that the beautiful young wife in front of him was not someone to mess with.

“Humph! I’ll offer at most 150 copper coins for one piece of cloth, so six and a half pieces of sub-standard cloth will be 975 copper coins.”

She had seen through the shopkeeper’s shamelessness!

Liu Sisi naturally didn’t want to waste any more words: “These are all inferior products… No! Look at all the damaged places, it’s not a stretch to call them waste products. If you think that 975 copper coins are a good price, we’ll buy them; otherwise, we’ll leave immediately!”

“975 copper coins? You’re robbing me — I won’t sell!”

The shopkeeper was also angered!

A piece of silk was worth 600 copper coins, and now five and a half pieces were only worth 975 copper coins. How could he accept this?

“975 copper coins are already quite a lot. You’re selling waste products for almost one tael of silver, so why not? Moreover, instead of keeping these waste products in the warehouse and taking up space, why not sell them to me early? Next time I want to buy cloth, I’ll definitely come to your shop. What do you think?” Liu Sisi sincerely said.

The shopkeeper still furrowed his brows and shook his head repeatedly: “No, no, the price is too low.”

Liu Sisi’s eyes shifted and suddenly noticed a large pile of scrap cloth in the corner of the wall.

“How about this! You pack up that pile of scrap cloth for me, and I’ll give you one tael of silver, okay? I’ve spent quite a lot of money here today, and for us poor people, we’ve already squeezed out our food money!”

The shopkeeper’s gaze wandered between the pile of scrap cloth and the cloth pieces. The scrap cloth was usually sold for just 2 or 3 copper coins per bundle, which was really not worth much. In the end, he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and waved his hand: “Fine! One tael of silver and it’s a deal! Take them all.”

The family happily carried the cloth pieces on their way home. While passing through the street corner, Liu Sisi bought a lot of colorful silk threads.

When they came across a small stall selling rice cakes, Liu Sisi bought two rice cakes for the children.

“Sisi, are you buying these cloth pieces to make clothes? Won’t the colors be too strange to wear?” Di Yelei carefully said.

Liu Sisi smiled mysteriously: “They’re not for making clothes, I plan to use them for…”

The rest of her words were blocked by a group of people that suddenly appeared in front of them.

Not far ahead on the main road, a group of people blocked the way, with Damned Fatty at the head.

Fatty Head Chef had been scolded by Boss He and fined a month’s salary. Upon returning to the kitchen, he couldn’t swallow his anger. In the end, he decided to gather a group of people and waited in a secluded place at the exit of the market to teach them a lesson.

“Yo, you’ve got quite a harvest here, picking up so many things!”

Fatty’s face was full of lewdness, and his greasy, mung-bean eyes kept scanning Liu Sisi’s body.

The lustful gaze made Liu Sisi’s entire body break out in goosebumps. She held the hands of the two children and quietly hid behind Di Yelei.

“What do you want, Head Chef? Boss He said that the matter was already settled. Are you still planning to cause trouble?”

Di Yelei instinctively protected Liu Sisi behind him and suppressed the anger in his heart as he questioned Fatty.

The group of people on the other side laughed loudly. Naturally, the loudest laughter came from Fatty.

“Oh, this is hilarious! You’re still asking what we want now?”

Fatty grinned triumphantly, pointing arrogantly at Di Yelei’s head: “Weren’t you very arrogant at the restaurant just now? Now you know fear, but it’s too late! Hand over the silver you falsely took! Maybe, considering our dealings over the past few years, I’ll spare your life!”

Fatty pressed forward step by step, while Di Yelei shielded Liu Sisi and the two others, retreating step by step. Until there was no place left to retreat, they reached a cliff.
