“Good grandma, you see I’m an honest person, and I didn’t try to lower the price. Just sell it to me, let’s settle it. I’ll pay tomorrow, and the contract will be settled. You can move to the capital happily, and I’ll own two shops.”
Qiao Lian'er used a coquettish tone, winking at the old woman and raising her arms to her chest.
Hearing the word "Grandma" and seeing the soft, sweet look in the little girl's bright black eyes, the old woman's heart softened.
"Oh, you little girl, why do you have so many thoughts on your mind?" The old woman's tone was completely different from her initial harshness.
“I want to buy a shop, but it’s not that I specifically want to buy from you, Grandma. There are plenty of shops in this county town. It’s just that I heard your son passed the imperial examination and I want to share in his good fortune.”
"May you rise rapidly in your career and achieve great success."
"Oh dear, you, you, you—" the old woman pointed at her, but couldn't utter a complete sentence. These words had truly touched her heart, but the price—
Yongguan County is developing better and better, and it is expanding in all directions. The shops will definitely increase in price in the future, but she still feels that she has lost a bit.
Then look at Qiao Lian'er.
The old woman, unable to bear it any longer, turned away.
Qiao Lian'er ran up to her again.
"May Grandma enjoy boundless happiness and longevity, and may she be granted an imperial title within three years."
"Oh dear, you're going to kill me!" the old woman said, clutching her forehead.
She couldn't even imagine how successful she would be if she were granted an imperial title and received a salary and rewards from the court.
Can she refuse such a blessing? If she does, she'll have to give up some of her share.
The old woman took a long breath to suppress the pain in her heart.
"Alright, alright, five hundred and twenty taels, and I'll sell you two prime shops."
"Of my two shops, one was originally rented out to sell leather goods, and the other was my own spice business. Both businesses were doing very well. Little girl, whether you rent it out or run your own business, I hope everything goes smoothly for your family."
It's settled then. Qiao Lian'er paid a deposit of fifty taels here, and today she has just earned fifty taels.
In the evening, Dayong woke up, and Feng raised his pillow a little higher.
"Mother, have I been unconscious for several days?"
"It's been five or six days. How are you feeling now?"
Da Yong tried to move, but he couldn't get out of bed because he had damaged several bones when he rolled down the hillside.
He started to panic: "I can't move, Mother. Will I never be able to get out of bed for the rest of my life?"
He couldn't imagine becoming a useless person.
Actually, he was already conscious this morning and heard the voices of his family members, his father, uncles, and cousins. He knew that everyone had returned safely, and that he was the one with the most serious problem. Fortunately, it was him.
“Brother Dayong, with me here, you won’t be unable to get out of bed. This is only temporary; you are recovering.” Qiao Lian’er said.
Seeing that Dayong was conscious and clear-headed, which meant that the blood clot was not compressing the nerves in her brain, she was finally relieved.
Seeing her confident expression, Da Yong breathed a sigh of relief, as he was afraid of burdening his family.
This time, he was able to escape with his life; it was God who took care of him.
When Qiao Lian'er returned home in the evening, he talked to his grandmother about buying the shop.
