Da Yong quickly pulled her back: "Lian'er, are you crazy? With so many mushrooms, you're going to poison even more members of the Han family!"
Qiao Lian'er was too lazy to explain to him.
He simply said, "Both of you should remain silent for a moment, and do not mention the word 'mushroom'."
A short while later, Madam Han hurriedly came out. She had changed into a rather plain outfit and didn't look too well, but she still managed a smile when she saw Qiao Lian'er.
Seeing that the two boys beside Qiao Lian'er looked ashen-faced and extremely dejected, with no light left in their eyes, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Is this a serious illness, or a death sentence?
"Mrs. Han, these are my eldest cousin and second cousin."
Qiao Lian'er introduced.
Madam Han nodded to the two boys, but Dayong and Dacheng still seemed distracted.
Mrs. Han ignored them and looked at the large jar on the ground, her eyes lighting up.
"How many kilograms would this weigh?"
"A little over ten jin, let's say ten jin."
"That's great. Two pounds at a time can last for five days. Yesterday, when we had a pound on the table, everyone in the family praised it highly. They've been talking about it ever since we woke up today, asking when Miss Qiao will come to sell it again."
Da Cheng and Dayong sensed something amiss in Madam Han's words, and they felt as if they were beginning to come back to life.
Since Madam Han came out and said that, does it mean that the Han family is alright?
"By the way, Madam Han, I saw people running around inside, and I heard someone fainted. Has something happened?" Qiao Lian'er asked.
When this matter was mentioned, a hint of sadness appeared on Madam Han's face.
"It's my husband. He went out on business and the long journey caused his heart condition to relapse and he fainted. The doctor is treating him now."
Madam Han didn't go into too much detail. Mr. Han's health was already poor. He had finally managed to negotiate a business deal by making concessions, but as soon as he got home, he received a letter from the other party saying that the business was off. Mr. Han couldn't bear the blow and fainted.
Da Yong still carried an uncertain worry. Qiao Lian'er glanced at him, knowing what he wanted to ask, and said, "Then, did Master Han get to eat these things?"
Madam Han shook her head: "The master only came back after we finished eating. Maybe he'll be in a better mood after tasting such delicious food today."
She assumed that was what Qiao Lian'er meant, so she went along with it. After all, this stuff was really delicious, and she even planned to take it to Master Han later so he could smell it.
That's right, do it this way.
Da Yong and Da Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. Their lost strength seemed to return. Their legs were no longer weak, their backs were straight, and they looked much more radiant.
Mrs. Han looked in surprise at the color returning to the faces of the two people, and the youthful vitality emanating from their heads.
What's wrong? It's as if something happened that she doesn't know about.
"Are you two alright?" she asked with concern.
"It's alright, it's alright, Madam, we're fine," Da Cheng said.
In the end, it turned out that the two of them were just being paranoid, even to the point of thinking about the possibility of their entire family being beheaded.
Madam Han then looked at Qiao Lian'er and said gently, "Miss Qiao, how do you plan to calculate today's price?"
Qiao Lian'er knew that Madam Han wouldn't be as generous as she was yesterday. Families like this not only know how to make money, but also know how to save money and wouldn't spend lavishly all the time.
Moreover, she took the Han family's oil. Although the mushrooms were soaked in oil, Madam Han must have guessed that they had kept some, and she tacitly approved of it.
She said, "Ten catties, one catty and one ounce. Since Madam Han has used oil, then let's reduce it by five hundred coins."
