Just as Wu Mengyue was about to ask for two floor cabinets, Luo Yiyi spoke first: "Aunt Liu, how much are your cabinets and boxes?"
She had a polite smile on her face, but her eyes were calmly observing Aunt Liu's reaction.
When Aunt Liu heard this, her shrewd little eyes immediately rolled around, revealing a hint of cunning.
Then, she put on an extremely kind tone, as if she had suffered a great loss, and said, "Oh, Luo Zhiqing, you don't know!
The wood used for these cabinets was brought back by my old man and my son who traveled all the way to the deep mountains and risked their lives with great effort!
Just building a cabinet like this takes several days of work, it’s both time-consuming and labor-intensive, it’s really not easy!”
As she spoke, Aunt Liu sighed deeply, as if she felt sorry for her family.
However, she then changed the subject and continued, "But, since we are all from the same village and we see each other every day, I can't charge you more money, right?
How about this, I'll only charge you 30 yuan for one cabinet, and as for this box...
Then 15 yuan each will do."
Luo Yiyi couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he heard what Aunt Liu said.
Humph, just as expected, Aunt Liu clearly wants to take advantage of their lack of understanding of the market and make a fortune!
Luo Yiyi turned his body slightly and gave Wu Mengyue a wink without leaving any trace.
After receiving the hint, Wu Mengyue immediately moved her hands away from the cabinet.
She glanced at Gu Sireng and sighed helplessly, “Alas, I didn’t expect these cabinets to be so expensive!
I originally thought that the cabinets sold in the village would be more affordable, and I was planning to buy one for every room.
But now that I see the price, I'm afraid I have to give up the idea."
Then he persuaded the silent Luo Yiyi, "Yiyi, to be honest, we don't seem to have anything to put away. Otherwise... why don't we just not buy anything for now?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yiyi sighed heavily, and after taking one last lingering look at those exciting cabinets, he quickly pulled up Gu Sihan beside him and turned to walk out of the shed.
"Aunt Liu, I'm so sorry for causing you trouble.
It's just that the price of this cabinet is beyond our budget, and we're not financially well-off right now, so we're not considering buying it for now."
As Luo Yiyi spoke, he smiled apologetically at Aunt Liu.
When Aunt Liu saw that the four people were about to leave, she suddenly panicked and rushed to them in two steps, opening her arms to block their way.
She said anxiously, "Oh, how can you just say you don't want to buy it?
If you think this price is not suitable, we can sit down and discuss it!
Or you can just tell me what price range you want and I'll have my husband, Lao Liu, make you a new one."
You know, in this poor and backward village, even when people get married, many people are reluctant to spend money to buy a new cabinet to decorate their new house.
But Wu Zhiqing said that they originally planned to buy two cabinets?
How could she let go of such a big deal so easily?
Wu Mengyue pointed to the two floor cabinets in front of her and said softly, "This is exactly the kind of cabinet we want.
What a pity...Alas!
I don’t have money in my pocket, so even if I like it, I can’t afford it! ”
Luo Yiyi, who was standing by, nodded in agreement, "That's right, we just got married not long ago and need money everywhere.
Besides, I didn't know how to save money these days, and I spent money without restraint. Now I don't have any money left!"
As she spoke, a hint of regret appeared on her face, as if she was deeply regretting her previous wasteful behavior.
Gu Sireng, who had been standing by silently, saw all of this.
He quietly observed Wu Mengyue and Luo Yiyi's seamless and well-coordinated performance, as well as their bargaining with Aunt Liu.
However, Gu Sihan had a look of confusion and bewilderment on his face. He was thinking to himself: What is going on?
You know, Yi Yi has enough money to buy these cabinets, but why is she so hesitant and procrastinating?
"Yi Yi, you clearly..."
Gu Sihan wanted to ask, but before the words came to his lips, the sharp-eyed and quick-handed Gu Sireng beside him quickly covered his mouth with his hand.
Gu Sireng put his arm on Gu Sihan's shoulder affectionately and turned him around.
"Xiaohan, I know you've always wanted to have a box of your own.
But there is no way. Our family really cannot afford to spend so much money to fulfill your wish at the moment, so I have to let you down this time.
But don't worry, I promise you that as long as our family has money in the future, I will definitely help you buy back this box you've been thinking about as compensation!"
Gu Sihan’s mouth was covered, and he could only make “Mmmm” sounds, trying to get Gu Sireng to let go.
But Gu Sireng was afraid that Gu Sihan would accidentally let something slip and ruin things, so he chose to turn a blind eye to his brother's struggles and requests.
In this way, poor Gu Sihan could only be controlled by his brother and was unable to say anything.
Luo Yiyi, who was standing not far away, felt her heart rise to her throat the moment she heard Gu Sihan about to speak.
Fortunately, Gu Si Leng reacted quickly enough at the critical moment and did not let Gu Si Han say anything he shouldn’t have said.
However, even so, Luo Yiyi still kept a low profile and secretly noted this to Gu Sihan in her heart.
Humph, when we get home, I’ll show you how I’ll deal with you, the guy who almost held us back!
