Chapter 253 An old face smiles like a chrysanthemum
"I've really been enlightened today. Someone like you actually has the audacity to want to buy our store. Do you think you're worthy enough?"
"That's right. I don't know who gave you the courage to speak so arrogantly here. Do you know who is protecting our store?"
Xia Xing'er didn't want to waste time talking to them anymore, so she said directly, "Three thousand taels!"
After Xia Xing'er finished speaking, all the laughter stopped abruptly!
Three thousand taels?
What three thousand taels?
Did they hear it wrong? He said three thousand taels?
Is this guy a fool? Why would he buy their store for three, three thousand taels?
Everyone was dumbfounded and couldn't believe their ears.
Even the shop owner stared with his eyes wide in disbelief. Their shop had less than four hundred taels of silver at most, and now this guy asked for three thousand taels!
The shopkeeper looked Xia Xing'er up and down. He just couldn't believe that she was someone who could come up with three thousand taels!
"Boasting doesn't cost money, so who can't do it?"
Xia Xing'er didn't waste any time talking to him and just took out three thousand taels of silver and threw it in the shopkeeper's face.
"Would you like to count them and see if they are enough for three thousand taels?"
"Little sister!"
Bai Wan'er spoke anxiously. She felt that her sister-in-law should not be the scapegoat just to vent her anger.
Xia Xing'er gave her a direct look, and Bai Wan'er was instantly comforted.
She was just passing the three thousand taels through her hands. She would get back the same amount she spent, or even more.
She did not forget that the owner of this shop was Chen Zhi.
Liu Youran and the other two knew Xia Xing'er well. When they saw her like this, they knew that she must be holding it in, but they still liked to see Xia Xing'er like this.
Now Xia Xing'er has bought the shop with money, and later she will go to Chen's house without anyone knowing and empty it out. In this way, they can get it for free by following Xia Xing'er.
However, Liu Youran, her mother-in-law, and her daughter-in-law didn't know that the Chen Mansion had already been emptied by Xia Xing'er once, and they didn't know whether she had added anything to it this time.
The three of them, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, thought that since Xia Xing'er had emptied the Chen Mansion, even if they reported it to the police later, they would definitely not be found guilty, and they could still use these shops openly.
After the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and the other two knew Xia Xing'er's plan, they immediately felt relieved and kept silent, waiting to watch the fun.
The shopkeeper was slapped in the face by Xia Xing'er in front of his subordinates, and he was very angry, but the other party really took out three thousand taels of silver notes, and this matter was not something he, the shopkeeper, could decide.
No matter how unwilling he was, he could only suppress his anger and send someone to Chen's house to report the situation.
Even though he had already sent people to the Chen Mansion, he didn't want Xia Xing'er and the others to feel comfortable, so he sneered and said, "Don't think that just because you paid three thousand taels of silver, you will be able to buy this shop!"
Xia Xing'er didn't even bother to pay attention to him, not even giving him a glance, and said coldly: "Then don't bother with it, just mind your own business."
When the person sent by the shopkeeper to Chen's house arrived, the prefect Ouyang Yi was also there.
He was originally dissatisfied with his wife using his money to subsidize his brother-in-law. Now that the money was delivered to his door, he didn't wait for the Chen family to say anything. He just waved his hand and agreed to it.
He didn't want to use all his hard-earned wealth to subsidize outsiders.
To Ouyang Yi, his wife's brother was an outsider. He would not be happy even if he spent more money on his wife, let alone his wife's elder brother.
If he hadn't seen that the Chen family was rich, he would not have married a merchant's daughter.
Besides, no one knows who the Chen family offended, so their house was robbed, and the robbed was very thorough!
How could he be willing to pay for the medical treatment of his brother-in-law Chen Zhi when he even had to pay for it himself?
Now that such a good opportunity has come, he will not let it go. He still doesn't trust the people in Chen Mansion, so he directly sent one of his followers to go with him.
There should be nothing wrong with using the Chen family's money to treat Chen Zhi.
The attendant took the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion directly to Mrs. Chen's room and found the land deed.
Just when I was thinking that the boss would not transfer the shop, the people he sent came with the Chen Mansion's housekeeper and the prefect's entourage?
There was only one person when they left, and three people when they came back. Looking at the title deed in the housekeeper's hand, the shopkeeper knew that the owner was really going to transfer the store.
He was so nervous at the moment that he didn't dare to say a word.
The housekeeper walked hurriedly, and without even catching his breath, he shouted, "Who is it? Who wants to buy our master's shop?"
After entering, he looked at Xia Xing'er and asked uncertainly, "Are you going to buy our master's shop? Are you sure you want to buy it for three thousand taels?"
After he finished asking, he didn't even give Xia Xing'er a chance to reply, as if afraid that she would change her mind. He continued, "I've already got the deed. We can sign the document now!"
After he finished talking to himself, he quickly told the shop assistants to bring paper, pen and ink, and started writing documents on his own, as if he was afraid that Xia Xing'er, the sucker, would run away.
Just as the butler was about to pick up the pen and dip it in ink, Xia Xing'er interrupted him: "I don't want this store?"
What?
When the shopkeeper heard that Xia Xing'er was going to change her mind and not buy the shop, he became more energetic, raised his head, and straightened his bent back.
He looked at Xia Xing'er with a gloating look and began to complain in his heart.
This woman definitely doesn't know who the boss behind them is. Their boss is the prefect's brother-in-law. Since she dares to play tricks on their boss, he wants to see what kind of end he will have for offending the prefect.
The shopkeeper's two triangular eyes were already shining brightly as he waited by the side, waiting to see the show.
As he expected, when the Chen Mansion's housekeeper heard that Xia Xing'er didn't want to buy the store, his smile immediately fell, and his tone was clearly threatening: "How dare you play tricks on us?"
Xia Xing'er sat in a chair and watched the housekeeper's frustration with interest.
When she felt it was about time, she said, "What I mean is, I want to buy all the shops next to this one. Name your price!"
The people who were originally enjoying the show put away their smiles and looked at Xia Xing'er as if she were a fool.
The housekeeper of the Chen Mansion was already very angry and was about to say some threatening words.
As soon as Xia Xing'er said this, the words that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back.
But that face was like a palette, changing several times in a short while.
However, the butler was also a smart man. He quickly adjusted his mood and his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
