According to Bai Nuo's understanding, Zhang Jingwen's words had three meanings. The first meaning was that she was a pampered young lady, and Bai Nuo was not as good as her.
Bai Nuo admitted that the other woman was a rich young lady, while she was a country girl, and there was indeed no way for them to compare.
The second meaning is: if she dares not give Hu Mingmei away, then Zhang Jingwen will have her father deal with her. Once Duobaoge is targeted by her father, it will cease to exist.
The third meaning is: The Zhang family is wealthy and powerful, and if Hu Mingmei marries her, he will rise to a high position and become a phoenix.
Tsk tsk, it seems Zhang Jingwen really likes Hu Mingmei. She's willing to do anything for him. I wonder what Hu Mingmei would think if she knew.
"Do you know what kind of person he is?" Bai Nuo remained silent for a long time after hearing this. Seeing that Bai Nuo didn't speak, Zhang Jingwen didn't press her. She finished speaking and looked at Bai Nuo with her arms crossed.
Seeing that Bai Nuo was still struggling, Xiang Ming immediately said, "Country girl, if I were you, I would have just withdrawn. Don't you even know who you are? How dare you compare yourself to our young lady? Our young lady is a phoenix from the sky, while you are just a country girl. What makes you think you can compete with our young lady for someone? Don't you even know what you are like? Do you think you are worthy of Young Master Hu? Standing next to Young Master Hu is just embarrassing him."
Xiangming's words were sharp and sarcastic, and Zhang Jingwen, who was listening nearby, did not stop Xiangming—clearly, Zhang Jingwen also thought so, and like Xiangming, believed that Bai Nuo was not as good as her and was not worthy of Hu Mingmei.
In Zhang Jingwen's heart, only she was worthy of Hu Mingmei. The moment she saw Hu Mingmei, this man had already entered her heart. She was determined to have him and have him by her side to accompany her!
But since Bai Nuo has already asked, she'll answer her!
"After I get together with Young Master Hu, I will have decades to get to know him. You just need to step aside. Our affairs are none of your business!"
oh
Bai Nuo asked with a smile, "So how much compensation are you planning to give me?"
“I’ll give you a thousand taels!” Zhang Jingwen hesitated for a moment. Although a thousand taels of silver was nothing to her, it was a lot of money for this village girl. Her maid, Xiangming, only earned two taels of silver a month.
Could country folk like them even earn ten taels of silver a year? This village girl probably has never seen so much money in her entire life. It's only because Young Master Hu likes her that she's willing to give this village girl so much money. After all, Young Master Hu deserves respect.
A thousand taels, that's a lot!
She used to dream of finding a rich second-generation boyfriend, but she met a mother-in-law who disliked her. In an attempt to break her up with the rich second-generation, the wicked mother-in-law, on a stormy afternoon with thunder and lightning, invited the weak and pitiful girl out. The more she looked at her, the more she disliked her. Then, she threw a check for ten million at her and coldly said, "Here's ten million. Leave my son."
That kind of arrogant attitude is just asking for a beating.
So she quickly picked up the check, said painfully, "Okay, Auntie," and then quickly left the rich second-generation and lived a shameless life.
But now, she doesn't lack that thousand taels of silver.
Although she couldn't come up with a thousand taels of silver right now, earning a thousand taels wouldn't be difficult for her.
Besides, Hu Mingmei is an extremely wealthy person. If she wanted a thousand taels, she could ask Hu Mingmei for it, and Hu Mingmei would not refuse her.
Moreover, Hu Mingmei is worth far more than a thousand taels of silver.
"How about it? A thousand taels of silver is enough for you to live comfortably. You don't need to run your treasure shop anymore. Looking at how deserted your treasure shop is, you probably don't have much business, right? Take the money, go home and marry a farmer. It's much better than you struggling here!"
"Okay!" Bai Nuo nodded immediately!
Zhang Jingwen was overjoyed and immediately asked Xiangming to bring the money!
Xiangming handed the money to Bai Nuo and said coldly, "You're smart enough to know your place. Don't covet things that don't belong to you in the future. Think more about yourself!"
Bai Nuo reached out and took the money, then smelled it. Hmm... the money smells very good.
Bai Nuo's greedy appearance made Zhang Jingwen and Xiangming frown in disgust and look away—country bumpkins are just so uncouth.
"Okay, I'll definitely be more careful in the future!" Bai Nuo put down the money, quickly picked up the teacup in front of her with her other hand, splashed it at Xiang Ming, slammed the teacup down with a bang, and said indifferently, "You're right, it's so easy to weigh things that you can weigh. Goodbye!" Then, she turned around and quickly disappeared from the sight of the two women, Xiang Ming and her mistress, while they stared in disbelief.
Bai Nuo took the money and headed towards Duobaoge, deciding to postpone her trip to San Niang Cloth Shop.
"Why are you back? Don't you need to look after the fabric shop anymore?" At this moment, Hu Mingmei was already carefully processing pearls behind the counter on the first floor. Hearing footsteps, she looked up and was somewhat surprised to see Bai Nuo.
After all, if this girl says she's going to help someone watch the shop, she definitely will, and she won't come back halfway through.
Bai Nuo walked to the counter and slammed a thousand-tael silver note onto it. "Here you go!"
Hu Mingmei glanced at it indifferently, then looked at Bai Nuo and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
"Money!" Bai Nuo picked up a thousand taels and held it up in front of Hu Mingmei. "Don't you recognize a thousand taels?"
Hu Mingmei said, "Of course I recognize a thousand taels of silver, but why are you giving it to me? I don't need the money, so keep it for yourself! Ask me for more if you need more!"
