Chapter 83 Mo Chunxiang's Reluctance
Shen Yi exchanged greetings with them before entering the silver shop.
At this time, Mo Chunxiang and Xiong Kai were arguing about the thickness of the silver hairpin. One insisted on having it, while the other kept persuading him. Mo Laotian stood by and looked like he wanted to help pay but was hesitant, which made Shen Yi feel tired.
He walked straight to the more expensive counter and asked the shopkeeper, "Do you have any nice silver or jade bracelets?"
"Yes! Please wait a moment, sir." The shopkeeper got rid of Mo Chunxiang and the other two, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately went to get the bracelet.
Upon hearing this, the three people here stole glances at Shen Yi.
The shopkeeper brought two trays, one tray was filled with silver bracelets. Each pair was exquisite and beautiful, and most importantly, they looked very heavy.
Mo Chunxiang couldn't take her eyes off after seeing this.
Another tray was filled with jade bracelets, all of which were single, except for a pair of dragon and phoenix jade bracelets that came in pairs.
Shen Yi liked this pair at first sight, "Boss, how much is this pair?"
"Oh! Sir, you have good taste. This pair of dragon and phoenix jade bracelets are made of top-quality jadeite. They are 8 taels each. No bargaining." The shopkeeper continued with a smile, "If you think they are expensive, you can take a look at the others. These single jade bracelets are also beautiful. This white jade bracelet is also beautiful. It costs 2 taels.
This jade bracelet is also worth two taels of silver. These silver bracelets here are in pairs. The four pairs on the top are worth two and a half taels, and the four pairs on the bottom are worth three taels. They are inlaid with jade. Please take a closer look."
When Mo Laotian heard the price, he felt like he couldn't breathe. He didn't dare to look at it any more and urged his daughter and son-in-law to leave quickly.
Mo Chunxiang, however, seemed to be frozen in place, not moving at all.
Shen Yi heard their chattering, but he didn't care. He said, "Pack up this pair of dragon and phoenix jade bracelets and this white jade bracelet for me, as well as this pair of silver bracelets."
The shopkeeper was very surprised, "Sir, why did you buy so many bracelets?"
Shen Yi smiled gently and said, "My wife likes it, I bought it to make her happy."
"Wow! Your wife is so lucky!" The shopkeeper praised repeatedly and packed the things skillfully.
Chen Yi took the bracelet, paid for it, and walked out of the silver shop without looking back, without responding to that burning gaze from beginning to end.
Mo Chunxiang chased to the door uncontrollably, watching Shen Yi drive the donkey cart away, her eyes red with jealousy, "Why! Why is he so nice to a fool?"
Those things should obviously belong to her.
Mo Laotian couldn't stand it anymore and slapped Mo Chunxiang hard, "Have you had enough of making trouble? Do you still want to live with Xiong Kai?"
Mo Chunxiang finally reacted and looked back, but there was no sign of Xiong Kai. She immediately became anxious, "Where is he? Why did he run away? I haven't bought my silver hairpin yet!"
Mo Laotian was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. "Yin Zan Yin Zan, are these useless things all you have left in your mind? Didn't you see how ugly Xiong Kai's face was just now?"
No man can tolerate his wife staring at the man she is not married to.
Mo Chunxiang felt guilty for only a moment before she started to groan with confidence, "He is incompetent and he didn't even buy me a silver hairpin. What's wrong with me envying others? He said nice things at the beginning, saying he would give me everything, even his life. But after he married me, he changed. Not to mention asking for his life, he is so stingy when I ask for a little money that he is reluctant to spend money on me!
Dad, you saw it too. Chen Yi bought so many things, more than ten taels of silver, all for that idiot. Why did she do that? If I didn't want it, how could she marry Chen Yi! "
"You also know that it was you who didn't want to do it! I didn't let you break off the engagement, but you made a fuss and even got carried back home by a bear. What could I do? You were the one who ruined the marriage, and you also made me lose face. Do you find it fun to talk about this now?" Mo Laotian was furious.
It would have been fine if Mo Chunxiang didn't bring up the past, but as soon as she mentioned the breaking of the engagement, he regretted it so much that he wanted to slit his own throat.
Mo Chunxiang was scolded so much that tears fell, and she covered her face and cried out loudly, "Dad, I won't accept it, I won't accept it"
Mo Laotian sighed, feeling sorry for his daughter, but he still gritted his teeth and spent eight hundred coins to buy her a thin silver hairpin, which finally coaxed Mo Chunxiang.
Seeing his daughter holding the silver hairpin and smiling like a flower, Mo Laotian felt very worried.
This year, he split the money from selling the deer in half with Xiong Kai, earning more than 1,200 coins. His wife is still waiting for him to take the money back to report. If she knew that he bought a silver hairpin for her daughter, she would probably be grouchy for several days.
He was also worried about Xiong Kai. His daughter had embarrassed Xiong Kai so much today that she would definitely be taught a lesson by Xiong Kai when she returned.
I just hope Xiong Kai won't beat his daughter for the Mo family's sake. If he had insisted on marrying his daughter to Shen Yi, wouldn't he have had so many worries?
Shen Yi, who was being missed by Mo Laotian, had already driven his donkey cart out of Moshi Town.
When he got home, Su Tai was cooking noodles and gave him an egg. "How is it? Are you sold out?"
Shen Yi's gentle gaze fell on her, and he said happily: "The town official paid for everything and gave thirty taels. I bought you a few bracelets and spent twelve and a half taels."
Su Tai dropped the shovel in surprise and quickly opened the package. When she saw the silver and jade bracelets inside, she couldn't help putting them on her wrists without saying a word about wasting money.
Seeing that she liked it, Shen Yi became even happier and casually mentioned Song Yongnian's purchase of materials.
Su Tai was happy. "It just so happens that I still have a lot of fabrics on hand. I can sell them to them at a low price and clear out my inventory. Next year I plan to get some thin cotton fabrics that will be comfortable to wear in the summer."
"I'll do whatever you say." Chen Yi is now only concerned with making money and dealing with social relationships. He leaves all matters at home to Su Tai to arrange without any objections.
Su Tai squinted her eyes happily, propped up the stool with both hands and swung her feet, "I caught two more bags of fish today, but they are not big, just right to give away."
"Okay! I'll give it to him when Song Yongnian comes over."
As soon as Shen Yi finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the yard, and he hurried over to open the door.
Soon Su Tai heard the voices of Han and others.
"Wow! Son-in-law, your yard is better than our house!" Han looked left and right enviously. She thought their house was the only one in the village, but she didn't expect Shen Yi's yard to be better.
Shen Yi modestly made an excuse, “It’s probably because I used stones from the river, which are smoother.”
"Yes, yes. It's comfortable just looking at it." Han touched the wall, unable to let it go.
Su Tai came out, "Dad, Mom, A'zhan, A'ming, why are you all here? Where's Xiaoyu?"
Han turned around and saw Su Tai, whose face was rounder, and said cheerfully, "Xiaoyu is at home. She thought it was too cold outside and didn't need to buy anything, so she didn't come with us. By the way, this is Yan'er's fiancé Song Yongnian."
"Hello, sister-in-law." Song Yongnian walked forward and called out very obediently.
Su Tai felt embarrassed when she was called sister-in-law, so she quickly invited everyone into the house.
