Chapter 83 Taking a Risk



"What's wrong with her? Why did she have to provoke her for no reason? Does she think she's easy to bully?" Bai Nuo saw that everyone had left and was about to go back to wash her hands when she turned around and saw Chen Qiuling standing at the door, staring blankly at her.

Bai Nuo's behavior was truly beyond Chen Qiuling's comprehension. How could Bai Nuo be so vulgar? How could she take something like that? It's so disgusting!

Seeing Chen Qiuling's expression, Bai Nuo found it extremely amusing. After baring his teeth and making a ferocious and frightening face, Chen Qiuling was scared away.

Bai Nuo returned home laughing. After washing her hands, she began working on her blueprints.

She wanted to make a wheelchair for her grandmother. Not having a wheelchair would be very inconvenient for her grandmother. Not only would it be inconvenient for her to go out, but it would also be inconvenient for her to go to the toilet. Every time, she and her brother would have to carry her in and out. They are not adults, and if they do this all the time, they might notice once, but if they do it many times, they will eventually run out of strength and might easily hurt her grandmother.

But if there's a wheelchair, it's a different story. All she has to do every day is help the old lady get in or out of the wheelchair, and to go to the bathroom, she just has to help the old lady take off her pants.

Even the old lady can go to the bathroom by herself now.

At other times, Grandma can go to other places, so that she doesn't have to stay in bed all the time.

This is a good thing for the old lady, but... I don't know how much it would cost to make a wheelchair, or if it's even possible to make one.

However, Bai Nuo thought it should be possible to make it. Bai Nuo had seen the architecture of the county magistrate's mansion, and the carpentry was quite good.

I just don't know how much it will cost!

Bai Nuo currently has 300 taels of silver from selling pearls, 100 taels from Li Jinyu, and 400 taels from her mother. Adding the money she has already spent, she now has about 700 taels left.

If I can't do other things, I think I can at least make a wheelchair, right?

"It's a pity I don't know any carpenters, otherwise I would have asked about their prices," Bai Nuo thought to himself, suddenly remembering Bai Dalin.

Forget about Bai Dalin.

Bai Nuo has been working on this drawing for quite some time. The reason it has taken so long to finish is because she wants to make it as good as possible. There are no wheelchairs or similar items here, and she is afraid that if she doesn't draw some parts in detail or explain the steps carefully enough, others won't be able to make it.

But today, Bai Nuo has finally perfected everything that needed to be perfected and written everything that needed to be written, and now he's just waiting to get started.

"Sister San Niang, I've made some pearl bracelets and necklaces." After drawing the blueprints, Bai Nuo took the blueprints and the pearl bracelets she had made earlier to Jiang San Niang's shop.

This time, Bai Nuo also launched new products, including not only bracelets but also necklaces, both short and long.

Not a lot, just about twenty portions.

There were only five bracelets and fifteen necklaces. To make these things, Bai Nuo used up all the pearls she could find and went out to find river mussels every day. It took her more than half a month to get them.

Inside San Niang's Cloth Shop, Bai Nuo took out all the pearl necklaces she had brought, spread them out on a red cloth, and then placed them on the table. The white, purple, pink, and even red pearls looked exceptionally beautiful against the backdrop of the red cloth.

Red pearls are not easy to find. Bai Nuo has been digging for pearls for so long, and this is the first time he has seen such blood pearls here. Moreover, there are only a few of them. Bai Nuo used them to put on pearl necklaces, one in each necklace, and they are only available on short necklaces, not long ones.

"How much do all these cost?" Jiang San Niang asked, looking troubled, as if she was having some kind of difficulty.

"The short necklace is one hundred, the long one is one hundred and eleven, and the bracelet price remains the same..." Bai Nuo looked at Jiang San Niang's expression and knew that Jiang San Niang was in a bit of a dilemma. After all, the price of these items was already quite high, and it was unrealistic to expect her to buy them all at once.

But because of this, Bai Nuo's heart skipped a beat. What if Jiang San Niang didn't want it...?

Bai Nuo composed herself and asked softly, "Third Sister, isn't this a bit too much?"

Bai Nuo simply couldn't bring himself to say that he could accept a smaller amount, but if he didn't, Jiang San Niang seemed unable to eat so much.

“It’s not a lot…” Jiang San Niang said to Bai Nuo, “The things you brought are all very good, especially this bracelet. Many young girls have asked me for it, but I don’t have any in stock. You also brought a necklace today, so it will definitely be in demand in the future, but I really can’t come up with that much money…”

Five bracelets would cost 150 taels, five short necklaces would cost 500 taels, and ten long necklaces would cost 1,100 taels. All of these things added up to nearly 2,000 taels of silver, but she simply couldn't come up with that much money.

Jiang Qiao'er watched coldly from the side, then sneered and said, "If you ask me, you shouldn't have accepted Bai Nuo's goods. Do you even have any money left? Don't even mention two thousand taels of silver, you can't even come up with two hundred taels. You can't even afford these few bracelets!"

"Why?" Bai Nuo was very surprised when she heard Jiang Qiao'er say such a thing. Of course, Bai Nuo was surprised not only because Jiang San Niang didn't want her bracelet anymore, but also because Jiang Qiao'er said that Jiang San Niang couldn't even come up with two hundred taels of silver.
