"Sir, our shop values honesty in business, and we dare not overcharge you! We'll sell it to you for six thousand three hundred taels!" said Manager Wu.
"You're not going to accept it? Then I won't buy it!"
Qin Chuan's words put Manager Wu in a difficult position, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
After hesitating for a long time and weighing the pros and cons, Manager Wu had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"That's more like it!" Qin Chuan patted Manager Wu on the shoulder.
Qin Chuan handed Manager Wu a stack of silver notes, exactly seven thousand taels, no more, no less.
Seeing him spend seven thousand taels of silver in one go, Su Ruyan, standing behind him, had many questions in her mind, the biggest one being: where did he get so much money...?
The amount of money he possessed truly exceeded her expectations time and time again...
Could it be... that what he said about "money making money" is true?
impossible……
Su Ruyan couldn't understand it, and she was still a little worried that his money was ill-gotten.
"Send these silks to the Su residence and say that the fifth son-in-law bought them for the fifth young lady," Qin Chuan said to Manager Wu.
Upon hearing that the person before him was actually the fifth son-in-law of the Su family, Manager Wu immediately clasped his hands respectfully and said, "So you are the fifth son-in-law of the Su family. I have been very rude!"
Qin Chuan simply smiled and patted Manager Wu on the shoulder before walking out of the cloth shop.
He believed that Manager Wu would deliver the silk to the Su residence. After all, this cloth shop had been established for decades and it was impossible for them to be so foolish as to run away with the money. Although people in ancient times were also greedy, they still valued integrity.
After leaving the cloth shop, Su Ruyan tugged at Qin Chuan's sleeve: "Husband, you should buy me clothes. One bolt of silk is enough. Will you be able to use so many?"
"If you don't use it all, give it to your family. A hundred or so bolts of silk isn't much. Come on, we're rich now. What do you want? I'll buy it for you. I can buy the whole street for you!"
Qin Chuan, full of heroic spirit, waved his sleeves.
Su Ruyan shook her head helplessly, not knowing what to say.
She naturally didn't believe Qin Chuan could buy the entire street, but she was clearly not satisfied with his extravagant spending habits.
"Miss, what exactly does the son-in-law do?"
Behind him, the maid Juan'er asked in a low voice.
Su Ruyan couldn't explain it either, but she bit her lip and said, "It's a magic trick."
Are magicians that rich?
"His magic trick is 'making money from money'."
After hearing her young mistress's words, Juan'er gasped.
Is it possible for money to make money?
After a moment's thought, she knew that her young mistress was joking, and that the "money making money" excuse was just a way to fob her off.
As for the son-in-law, he must be hiding a big secret...
"Yuan'er, why haven't you said anything all day?" Juan'er nudged Yuan'er's arm when she saw Yuan'er staring blankly.
Yuan'er's bright eyes darted around quickly, and she exclaimed "Ah!" to come back to her senses. She then started chatting casually with Juan'er.
However, her eyes kept glancing at Qin Chuan's back.
Su Ruyan simply smiled at Yuan'er's unusual behavior and said nothing, as if everything was under her control.
...
At this moment, Qin Chuan questioned the system in his mind why it was withholding his money.
"No, I clearly spent 7,000 taels, so why is the cashback only 350,000 taels? Shouldn't it be 700,000 taels?"
[Detection revealed that the host has exploited system vulnerabilities, so half of the penalty has been deducted. We hope the host will not repeat this behavior.]
"Are you kidding me? Where did I exploit any system vulnerabilities?!"
"This is clearly wage theft!"
[Intentionally giving more money is exploiting a system vulnerability; we hope the host won't do it again.]
"Depend on!"
Qin Chuan was speechless. He had only given a few hundred extra taels of silver, but the system had deducted 350,000 taels from his account. It seemed he couldn't do that again; it was simply not worth it.
However, even with half of it deducted, he still received 350,000 taels.
With this money, becoming a wealthy man in Jiangzhou would definitely be no problem.
...
The next part of the time was Qin Chuan's shopping spree.
"My lady, don't you think the gold and silver jewelry in this shop is quite nice? Should we buy the shop?"
"Husband, are you crazy? Why would you buy this shop!"
"Alright, let's go in and pick some randomly!"
"Wife, I've heard that this shop's osmanthus cake is delicious. Let's go, let's buy some to try!"
"Wife, there's a storyteller here! Let's go listen. Good...not bad! Five taels of silver as a reward!"
"Wife, there's someone making sugar figurines here! Uncle, you can go home now, I'll take them all!"
"My lady, you seem a little unhappy. Did you buy too little rouge and powder? Shopkeeper, I'll take all of these. Wrap them up!"
When he saw that Su Ruyan and her two servants were carrying even more, he realized that he had indeed bought too much...
However, when he saw that Yuan'er and Juan'er were dressed in plain clothes, he felt that he hadn't bought enough.
"Why are Yuan'er and Juan'er dressed in plain clothes? Let's go buy some silk and satin!"
"Buy some gold and silver jewelry as well. As my wife's personal maid, she should naturally be several levels above other maids. We can't let my wife down!"
"..."
Qin Chuan finally stopped when the four of them could no longer lift it.
Fortunately, they encountered the steward of the Su family who was out purchasing goods. The steward was accompanied by two servants, and he asked the two servants to find a carriage to send all the purchased goods to the Su family.
Seeing Qin Chuan spend tens of thousands of taels of silver at once, Su Ruyan finally couldn't hold back anymore. Her beautiful eyes flashed with anger as she glared at him: "Husband, are you crazy? Are we not going to live together anymore?"
Unexpectedly, the gentle Su Ruyan would get so angry, and Qin Chuan hurriedly stepped forward to coax his wife.
They said he had more money than he could ever spend, and that the more he spent, the more he had…
Su Ruyan didn't believe a word he said, treating him like a clueless simpleton who knew nothing about finances, and gave him a couple of irritating glares.
"Husband, we still have to live our lives together. Even if you have some money now, you need to be careful with your spending. You spent tens of thousands of taels today. How can I not be angry with such extravagant spending?"
"Alright, alright! My wife, then let's not spend it anymore, we'll spend it another day!"
Qin Chuan had no choice but to stop his shopping spree.
Just as I was about to head home, I saw a clinic in front of me with the words "Li's Clinic" written on the door...
Qin Chuan remembered something and said it to Su Ruyan and her two servants:
"Wait for me a moment, I need to go find Doctor Li."
After he entered Li's Medical Clinic, Su Ruyan was slightly taken aback and murmured to herself, "Why does my husband want to see Doctor Li..."
Juan'er joked, "Could it be that the young master has a hidden illness..."
Yuan'er tugged at Juan'er's sleeve and said firmly, "Juan'er, don't talk nonsense. The young master doesn't have any hidden illness!"
Su Ruyan glanced at Yuan'er, her eyes holding a meaningful look...
