Chapter 40 Supporters of Shan Xi
With his hands behind his back, Shan Xi leisurely promised, "That's right. If you can't find the receipts, don't worry. Our Shan family's transaction book is here, and we will compensate you one by one according to the records in it."
"In addition, in seven days, fourth-grade pills will be sold at the price of third-grade pills. Due to limited quantity, they will be available on a first-come, first-served basis."
Sunhee's words were like another bombshell dropped into the already turbulent crowd!
Everyone present froze, as if they were frozen in place, seemingly unable to believe their ears.
Fourth-grade pills are always auctioned off, and therefore, the prices vary widely, some ridiculously high and some relatively low, but they can never be bought for the price of a third-grade pill.
After all, third-grade pills have a fixed price, which ordinary people can afford!
Upon hearing that they could buy a fourth-grade pill for the price of a third-grade pill, everyone became incredibly excited, their eyes shining with anticipation.
"Master Shan, is this true?" The eyes of the crowd gleamed with fervent light as they all turned their gazes toward Shan Xi, and even began to address her as Master Shan.
Before Shanxi could speak, Old Master Chen impatiently interjected, "Of course it is true! However, the quantity of all kinds of pills is limited, so everyone should act quickly, first come, first served."
Upon receiving confirmation, everyone's eyes lit up again. Some, who had not yet purchased the pills, were so excited that they clasped their hands in a salute to Shanxi and exclaimed, "Master Shanxi is so righteous!"
"The virtuous and benevolent head of the family is unparalleled!"
"As expected of the head of the Shan family, he is truly a benevolent person!"
"Hey, you used to say that none of the Shan family members were good people!"
"That's all in the past. I was blinded by that brat Shan Yixiao before. Now it seems that Shan Xi is the truly good person. Let me tell you, if anyone dares to speak ill of the Shan family head again, I'll be the first to object!"
Even before the auction started, many people in the crowd had already spontaneously begun to support Shanxi.
Seeing how easily Shanxi had won over people's hearts and resolved the crisis of the Shan family auction house, Shanxi Yixiao was struck dumb as if by lightning!
The fourth master and his wife, standing to the side, were also dumbfounded and stood frozen in place.
Refund at full price?
Should we also compensate with pills of equal value?
Isn't this just giving it away for nothing?
So many precious pills, and they're all going to be given away for free?
Furthermore, how can anyone live if they sell fourth-grade pills at the price of third-grade pills?
"Uncle, aren't you going to do anything about it? Isn't she pushing the Shan family into a fire pit?" Shan Yixiao looked at Old Master Shan in disbelief.
Old Master Shan gave him a cold look and scolded, "How dare you say that? If it weren't for you, would the Shan family have suffered such a huge loss?"
She's too clever. If it were him, even if you gave him money or pills, he might not have been able to come up with such a solution.
That's great! They were customers of Shanjia before, and they will continue to be customers of Shanjia in the future.
The resentment that customers have towards the charity will also disappear with the compensation.
But... can Grandma really gather so many pills in seven days?
In the heart of the old master, his great-grandmother was always incredibly capable; there was nothing she couldn't do!
But can Grandma really handle something so tricky and time-sensitive?
Knowing he had failed the Shan family, the Fourth Master immediately knelt before Shanxi and pleaded, "Master, this whole affair was caused by my son. I am willing to bear all the losses incurred. Please show leniency and spare my son's life."
Having said that Shan Yixiao had been released, he dared not mention it again.
Shan Yixiao committed so many wrongdoings and almost destroyed the Shan family auction house; sparing his life is already a great act of magnanimity.
"Fourth brother, have you ever considered that the Shan family has actually let Shan Yixiao go?" Shanxi looked at the fourth master, his tone indifferent and calm.
Old Master Shan sighed, looking at Shan Yixiao's unwilling face, and reminded him, "If the Shan family really wants to hold someone accountable, would they just send Shan Yixiao to the authorities?"
Simply expelling Shan Yixiao from the Shan family is already an act of extraordinary mercy and leniency.
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Master immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly kowtowed to Shanxi to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your mercy, Patriarch!"
Both Shanxio and his wife were still preoccupied with the fact that the Fourth Master had acknowledged Shanxio as the head of the family, and therefore did not notice that when Shanxio addressed the Fourth Master, he called him "Fourth Brother".
At the same time, Grandpa Shan's gratitude and respect for Grandma Shan reached its peak once again.
His great-grandmother was truly the best great-grandmother in the world.
"Grandma, let's go home." Grandpa Shan smiled and stepped forward, extending his arm for Shanxi to lean on.
If it weren't for his age, he would have loved to skip and hop to his great-grandmother.
Seeing the old master Shan looking so happy, following Shanxi like a child, the fourth master seemed to see his childhood self again, when his eldest brother was the most favored and always liked to pester his great-grandmother and hang around her all the time...
The eldest brother seems unchanged, yet something seems to have changed.
Soon, Shan Yixiao was taken away by the government officials.
Seeing that she could not rely on the Fourth Master, the Fourth Madam cried and ran after Shan Yixiao to the government office.
Upon learning that Shan Yixiao would be sentenced to twenty years in prison and also have to pay a fine for tax evasion, the Fourth Madam felt a wave of dizziness and nearly collapsed to the ground.
“If the fine is paid, the sentence is twenty years; if not, it will be life imprisonment,” the county magistrate in charge of the case said to the fourth madam with a serious expression.
The fourth wife's face turned deathly pale, and she could only nod repeatedly: "We'll hand it over! We'll definitely hand it over!"
Twenty years...
A gentleman takes his revenge, even after twenty years!
When her son comes out, she'll make sure that bitch Shanxi suffers a terrible death!
Good government.
Grandpa Shan was filled with worry. When he saw Grandpa Chen carrying a steaming cup of tea, he hurriedly snatched the cup and respectfully offered it to Grandma Shan, his face full of fawning smiles: "Grandma, please have some tea."
Shanxi raised her head slightly and looked at him with a calm and profound gaze.
She brought the teacup to her lips, blew on it gently, and wisps of steam rose up, blurring her delicate features: "What is it? Speak."
Grandpa Shan scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly, with a touch of naivety: "Um... Grandma, our Shan family's stock of pills is running low, and the amount of pills needed for this compensation is large, I'm worried..."
Before Old Master Shan could finish speaking, Old Master Chen gave a disdainful snort: "Heh..."
That "ha" was tinged with obvious contempt.
Old Master Shan: "..."
Ahhh!
That old bastard!
He wants to get a new housekeeper for his great-grandmother! A better one!
