Chapter 94: Frivolous Playboy
"Is this soap so valuable?"
After they were far away from the grocery store, Su Wan and her mother walked hand in hand. Only then did her mother lean over to her ear and asked her carefully.
"Well, there are four types in total. The most common one is also the one we made first. We give it to the boss lady for twelve cents a piece. There is also the dyed one just now, sixteen cents a piece, and a flower scented soap, fifteen cents a piece. Finally, there is our hair soap, which is the most expensive, thirty-five cents a piece."
Suwan’s pricing is considered low. From the beginning, they didn’t intend to go mid-to-high-end. They wanted to be popular among the public so that everyone can afford it.
When Su's mother heard her reading out the money as casually as she was counting numbers, she covered her mouth in disbelief.
"Wanwan, you are so awesome!" Mother Su said with admiration.
Although she usually appears gentle, she is actually a bit noisy. In short, she is a very cute little woman. In modern times, such a mother can basically become friends and besties with her children.
"Mom, have you decided what you want to buy?" Su Wan snuggled up to her mother and talked to her.
They temporarily left the basket at the grocery store, otherwise it would be inconvenient for the mother and daughter to go shopping.
"Let's go buy Wanwan a hair ornament first. Mother wants to style her hair into a beautiful bun every day."
Su's mother was worried that Su Wan didn't have any hair accessories, so the first thing she wanted to buy was a head flower.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
Su Wan had no experience of shopping with elders, so this felt pretty good.
So the mother and daughter went to a jewelry store. With their financial resources, they could only afford velvet flowers for the time being, and those bright red and purple head flowers were obviously not suitable for Su Wan.
In the end, I chose a few flowers in light purple, light blue, and slightly pink. These are neither exaggerated nor petite, which are more suitable for Su Wan.
Of course, Su Wan didn’t actually like this kind of hair ornament. It seemed a bit rustic to her as a modern person. But because Su’s mother looked so enthusiastic, she couldn’t bear to refuse and had to cooperate with her.
Actually, there is nothing much to buy for the New Year, just some melon seeds, peanuts, red dates and the like.
After shopping, the mother and daughter were about to go to the grocery store to pick up the basket to take home, but they didn't expect that they would be blocked by someone on the way.
A man dressed as a businessman, followed by two servants, blocked the way of the mother and daughter.
The man in front of him was in his early thirties, very thin, with a sallow complexion. When he stared at Su Wan, his eyes were shining.
Especially that undisguised look, full of ill intentions, as if to peel off a layer of Su Wan's skin.
Su Wan pulled his mother and wanted to walk around them, but they seemed to be getting more excited and acted like lechers, blocking Su Wan's way.
"Please get out of the way!" Su Wan glared at them coldly.
Seeing this, Su's mother immediately protected her daughter behind her:
"Who are you, what do you want to do, why are you blocking our way?"
"We have no ill intentions. We just have business to discuss with a girl. I wonder if you could do us the honor of meeting at a nearby teahouse."
The man showed his big yellow teeth, which was quite disgusting.
Moreover, what kind of good man would stop a woman in the street and say he has no ill intentions?
No malice, just teasing
Su Wan spat in his heart. Even if doing business, one has to do it with polite people. Forget about this frivolous playboy. I won't keep company with him.
"We are just ordinary people. We have no business to discuss with you. You have found the wrong person!" Su Wan politely refused.
"Miss, you're being modest. Goat milk soap is all the rage in Qinghe County. It's no secret that you've been going in and out of the grocery store from time to time. I'm a straightforward person, and I won't treat you unfairly when you do business with me. You're here for the goat milk soap today, so you can name any price you want."
The man did not hide his intention and directly stated his intention, but his eyes were still dishonest. He always stared at Su Wan's sensitive spots with bad intentions and looked at her without any concealment.
This made Su Wan feel sick.
"You've got the wrong person. I don't know anything about goat's milk soap!"
Su Wan would not talk to him, not to mention that she had never thought of selling the formula, which was the guarantee of her survival in another world.
Although holding the money in one's hands makes one feel satisfied, many changes are unpredictable, and it is far less reassuring than holding the technology in one's hands.
"Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. Do you know who our young master is?" The servant next to the disgusting man began to challenge.
His shout immediately attracted many passers-by to stop and watch.
"Whoever you are, you stopped my mother and me in broad daylight and invited us to talk in private. I refused, and your servant threatened me. Your words used power to pressure me. Are you trying to force me to leave just because I don't want to go with you?"
It just so happens that there are more people watching, so I can use the public opinion to get out of it.
As soon as she finished speaking, the people around her began to point fingers and talk about the man and his servant.
The servant who cursed was in the wrong and immediately retreated behind his master.
The man was not angry. He held a folding fan in his hand and looked at Su Wan with increasing interest.
"I told you I'm here to discuss business with you!"
He continued to invite her in a nice way, but there was no way Su Wan would go with him.
"We are just ordinary people, how can we start a business? Sir, this is serious. Please let us go immediately!"
Su's mother stood directly in front of Su Wan with a very determined expression.
"That's right, they don't look like they're doing business, and why would you talk to a mother and daughter about business?"
Some of the braver ones around have already started to act sarcastic.
"This girl is pretty. Why else could it be? She's the son of the Wang family. His family's business is second only to the Gu family, and they're almost the richest. He has six or seven concubines in the backyard. You know how they came about!" A man spoke loudly, but his voice was just loud enough for Su Wan's mother and daughter to hear, and for everyone present to hear.
When Su's mother heard this, she was almost scared to death. Her face turned pale and she held her daughter's hand even tighter.
But Su Wan remained calm. She patted Su's mother's hand to reassure her:
"Mom, we're not afraid. He wouldn't dare to do anything in broad daylight!"
When Prince Wang heard this, he glanced at the man who was speaking in the crowd. Seeing this, the man ran away as if he had said this on purpose.
Faced with more and more pointing and criticizing voices, Prince Wang could no longer hold back his expression, which looked a bit ugly.
Then, he rolled his eyes and gave Su Wan a meaningful look:
"I'm sorry for scaring the girl today. Since she doesn't want to go, I'll come to your house in person with gifts to apologize someday, and then we can discuss business in detail!" He pretended to bow, then stepped aside to let the mother and daughter go.
Seeing this, Su's mother hurriedly pulled Su Wan and ran away, wishing she could leave this place of trouble immediately.
In the teahouse next door, Gu Yue was sitting on the second floor drinking tea. Only when she saw them running away did she finally laugh.
A servant came in to answer, and it was the one who had just led public opinion on the street.
"Miss, I followed your instructions and helped Miss Su out of trouble!"
