The young masters and ladies were about to say that Su Hua was greedy when they heard half of it, but when they heard the end, they felt that it was reasonable. Su Hua was just a girl. How could she make decisions about the family when it came to such a big matter as destroying seedlings? If she could also send a few coins to the two children, it would be easier to explain when she got back.

Su Dalang and Su Erlang's eyes widened slightly. Life might be tough for the daughters of peasant families, but that definitely didn't include their aunt!

My aunt is clearly trying to fool me.

Liu Yuxian's eyes flickered. Her family's jade mine was much smaller than Qin Yucheng's. If Su Hua said that she would give two pieces to the entire Su family, she would definitely not agree. But she could accept it if the three of them were given two pieces. After all, Su Hua didn't know anything about jade, and the two little brats, Su Dalang and Su Erlang, knew even less. So it didn't really matter whether she gave two pieces or six pieces.

Whether Su Hua was having a hard time at home or not was none of her business.

The harder Su Hua's life got, the happier she became.

Liu Yuxian smiled and nodded in agreement, "Alright! I'll do as you say."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Hua immediately chimed in with a smile, "Da Lang, Er Lang, Da Bai, Xiao Hei, quickly thank Miss Liu for the stones!"

Liu Yuxian's smile froze on her face halfway through. "???"

The young men and women stared wide-eyed.

The Su brothers were stunned for a moment, then immediately thanked her in a crisp voice: "Dalang and Erlang thank Miss Liu."

Big White and Little Black were even faster than the two brothers.

"Meow!!!!"

"Woof!!!!"

Whether the cats' and dogs' chatter echoing through the alley were thanking her or cursing her, Liu Yuxian couldn't understand at all.

But the expressions of the three people and two beasts were clearly extremely smug, and it was only at this moment that she realized that Su Hua had been talking about the entire Su family, and had not said that it was just the Su family members who came to Tangshan Prefecture.

She didn't even have a chance to back out.

It felt like swallowing a fly stuck in my throat, unable to go up or down, making me feel incredibly uncomfortable and frustrated.

Liu Lin never expected that he would give away ten rough stones instead of just two to please Su Hua.

But then I thought about it again. The Su family is poor, and Su Hua went to great lengths for ten raw stones. She must be a greedy woman. Greedy people are the easiest to win over. If I give her more money, we might be able to make it happen eventually.

As for the ten raw stones, not ten pieces of jade, the Liu family can easily afford to provide them.

Just then, a young man's voice cut in from around the corner, "Miss Su, Young Master Qin, Miss Qin, what a coincidence! We drank together yesterday, and I never expected to meet you all again in Tangshan Prefecture today!"

Everyone turned around at the sound and saw Jin Yunyang walking towards them with a smile from the alley entrance.

After greeting Su Hua and the other two, the man seemed to notice the Liu siblings only then. He nodded with a smile, "Miss Liu, Mr. Liu, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Just as Liu Lin and his sister were about to make a few sarcastic remarks, they saw Jin Yunyang turn to look at Su Hua with a burning gaze, "Miss Su, I wonder if you brought any small Loushan agate with you today when you came to Tangshan Prefecture?"

After seeing the portrait of Lou Shan Hong yesterday, he felt that Su Hua must have seen the real Lou Shan Hong in person. Sure enough, when he asked, she said that she had a large one and a small one at home, and even promised to sell him the small one.

He had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of this little Loushan red ever since he finished eating at the restaurant yesterday.

Su Hua smiled gently, "I just happened to bring it with me."

She flicked her sleeve, and from her cuff, she actually pulled out a small bamboo tube from her spatial storage. Inside the tube was a vibrant spring orchid, Lou Shan Hong. However, since she hadn't expected to encounter Jin Yun here, this Lou Shan Hong had been temporarily taken from the cutting pot, and its petals were still curled up.

"Oh my goodness, this... this Lou Shan Hong can't be stored like this!"

Jin Yunyang was almost speechless when he saw her pull out the flower he had been longing for from her sleeve. Moreover, she had put such an expensive Lou Shan Hong flower in a broken bamboo tube. Wasn't that just a complete waste of the flower?

Most importantly, she actually stretched out her hand to comb the petals of the Lou Shan Hong!

His heart ached so much it felt like it was about to shatter into a thousand pieces. He wanted nothing more than to snatch it away with his bare hands. That's what he thought, and that's what he did. However, just as he raised his hand, a large, well-defined hand suddenly reached out from the side and snatched Lou Shanhong away first.

Just as the man was about to speak, he saw the large hand stuff Lou Shanhong into his arms again.

He gazed at the velvety petals and instantly grinned like a fool. "Hehehe, this Loushan Red is truly beautiful, and its fragrance is exactly the same as in the portrait. Miss Su, I'll give you ten thousand taels of silver to sell this Loushan Red to me, how about it?"

"What? Ten thousand taels?!" Before Su Hua could speak, Liu Yuxian and her brother were already stunned.

Jin Yunyang's family has connections with the Jiangnan Salt Transport Commissioner and is a well-known salt merchant in Tangshan Prefecture. His family has never lacked money, but now, he is actually spending a fortune on a tiny red flower the size of a fingernail!

This guy must have lost his mind.

Jin Yunyang ignored the two of them and instead, holding Lou Shan Hong, he approached Su Hua with a big smile. "Miss Su, if you are not satisfied with the price, we can talk about it. I, Jin Yunyang, am determined to have this Lou Shan Hong. You are not allowed to sell it to anyone else."

Su Hua was momentarily surprised as she looked at the burning passion in the man's eyes.

It turns out that propagating famous flowers by cuttings really can make money. She propagated five Lou Shan Azaleas in total, and each one survived. However, Lou Shan Azaleas have a relatively long growth cycle, and the small Lou Shan Azaleas she propagated had not yet fully grown. This one with a flower as big as a fingernail is already the oldest among them.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Jin Yunyang assumed that she was not satisfied with the price he had offered, so he quickly added, "Miss Su, how about 15,000 taels? 15,000 taels, and this Loushan Red is mine!"

Su Hua's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she swallowed hard. "Okay."

She was actually ready to agree, but he actually raised the price himself. She could completely believe that if she didn't agree, he would keep raising it. Qin Yucheng was right, this Jin Yunyang was really a fat sheep in Tangshan Prefecture. However, since they had eaten together before, she was still unwilling to fleece him too much.

Jinyun? Big Fat Sheep? Yang instantly grinned from ear to ear, "Good, good, little Lanzi, come quickly and get the silver notes for Miss Su!"
