Once the price drops, it's over.
They could only be suppressed by Zhang Wu!
"I'm leaving now. I need to buy something. By the way, where can I find a carpenter in this town?" Bai Nuo asked.
“You can’t find your way, I’ll take you there in a bit!” Jiang Qiao’er said.
"Alright, let's go," Bai Nuo said. Before leaving, he gave Jiang San Niang 1,600 taels of silver. Jiang San Niang was stunned when she saw the money Bai Nuo handed over.
"Nono, what's going on? You brought Zhang Wu here just to sell the things to him and then give me the money?" Jiang San Niang didn't know what Bai Nuo was up to before. She just thought that Bai Nuo was short of money and was in a hurry to get rid of the pearls, so she chose Zhang Wu. She even wanted to persuade Bai Nuo not to consider the Zhang family, but she didn't expect it was for her.
"Take it!" Bai Nuo said. "It'll be in the emergency for now. You can pay me back when you have the money. I'm not in a hurry. Let's save San Niang's Cloth Shop first."
Jiang San Niang was stunned and didn't know how to react. She didn't take Bai Nuo's money and remained silent. Jiang Qiao'er disliked her sister even more. She took the money with a grin and said, "I will definitely pay you back when I have some money."
Bai Nuo really didn't put too much pressure on Jiang San Niang to repay the money. She had lent the money to Jiang San Niang willingly, so naturally she wouldn't ask her to repay it when.
Moreover, today's misfortune turned into a blessing in disguise. If Jiang San Niang hadn't run out of money, Bai Nuo wouldn't have earned so much.
"Nono, thank you!" Jiang Sanniang said sincerely, holding Bai Nuo's hand. With the money Bai Nuo lent her, the cloth shop would surely overcome its difficulties.
"I believe you can get through this!" Bai Nuo smiled. "But sister, sometimes love isn't everything, and love gained through one-sided giving isn't true love."
For two people to be together, they should be evenly matched, right? What's going on between Jiang San Niang and Yu Zi Qing? Is it all just Jiang San Niang's flattery and money keeping them together?
Jiang San Niang didn't say anything, and Bai Nuo didn't care whether she could understand it or not, so he pulled Jiang Qiao'er out the door.
The two girls ate lunch heartily before continuing their search for their destination.
"What do you need a carpenter for?" Jiang Qiao'er asked curiously, leading Bai Nuo further and further into the secluded area.
"I want to make something for my grandma so she can move around freely. My grandma is paralyzed and has difficulty moving around," Bai Nuo said calmly, looking around as she walked. She had never been here before and didn't even know there was such a place in the town.
"Please have a doctor take a look!" Jiang Qiao'er said. "She's always been like this, and you have to go out to earn money, so who will take care of her?"
"kindness...."
The two walked quickly and soon saw a small workshop at the end of the road. Bai Nuo and Jiang Qiao'er went in hand in hand. Inside, there was only a shirtless big man with one foot on a bench and the other on the ground. He was holding a long saw in one hand and sawing wood with the other.
Seeing the two women arrive, the man didn't come out. He simply stopped what he was doing, looked at them, and asked, "What do you need? When do you need it?"
Bai Nuo walked over and took out the drawings she had finished. "I wanted to ask if this can be made?"
The man put down what he was holding, picked up the towel hanging on his shoulder to wipe his sweat, and then took the item. He looked at it for a long time before frowning and saying, "It's possible, but the price is quite high!"
"How much?" Bai Nuo asked quickly. She was already very happy to be able to do it, and she was willing to spend any amount of money.
"One hundred taels. If you want it done, just come and pick it up in three days," the man said calmly. Jiang Qiao'er couldn't stand the price and almost fainted. "Master, isn't this price too expensive?"
The man returned the blueprints to Bai Nuo without a care, and simply said, "Can you find a better carpenter than me in this town? I can make this because I'm skilled; others might not be able to."
Nobody has ever seen this thing before, and they probably can't even understand the blueprints.
Jiang Qiao'er was speechless after being choked by the man's words. She had brought Bai Nuo to find this man precisely because he was skilled and reliable.
"One hundred taels it is, I'll do it!" Bai Nuo said immediately. One hundred taels wasn't unacceptable, after all, she had the money now.
"Pay half the deposit first, and come back in three days to pick it up. The deposit is non-refundable if you decide not to continue work!" The man took Bai Nuo's drawings and returned to his original position to work busily.
Bai Nuo placed the fifty-tael silver note on the table, weighed it down with something, and left with Jiang Qiao'er.
"Let's go buy a carriage!" Bai Nuo and Jiang Qiao'er walked to the main road, first exchanged the silver notes for smaller ones, then kept one for immediate use, and carefully kept the rest on their person.
“I have to walk every time I come to town, and it’s so painful!” Bai Nuo felt extremely distressed thinking about how she had to rely on her own two feet to get around every day. The distance she had walked in recent days was enough to circle the earth three times.
After having money, Bai Nuo had the idea of buying a carriage. Wouldn't it be much faster if he had a horse-drawn carriage?
So the two of them went to the carriage shop again. Bai Nuo chose an ordinary gray carriage, but the horse he bought was a good one. It was black, very strong, with powerful hooves and looked very energetic.
After buying the carriage, Bai Nuo and Jiang Qiao'er went to the market and bought some snacks, vegetables, and meat before parting ways with Jiang Qiao'er and going home.
"Sister, where did you get this carriage?" After Bai Nuo drove the carriage home, Bai Yu excitedly surrounded her, looking at the carriage with great curiosity. "These horses are really beautiful!"
