That's impossible! Jiang San Niang's cloth shop is doing quite well, and the amount she owes isn't that much. Why can't Jiang San Niang even come up with two hundred taels of silver?
"Has something serious happened to you? Do you need help?" Bai Nuo asked hurriedly.
Jiang San Niang and Jiang Qiao'er were her only two friends after she came into this world. Bai Nuo couldn't ignore what happened to them, but more than that, she didn't want anything to happen to them.
"Nothing has happened!" Jiang Sanniang's face grew paler and more uneasy. Jiang Qiao'er sneered again, "Our Lord Li, although not a good official, is not a corrupt one either. The security in our town is quite good. No one is robbing anyone, and no one owes money. How could anything happen?" They are all healthy and in good health, without any major or minor illnesses.
"What's wrong with you?" Bai Nuo asked immediately. "Is your business not doing well or what? How come you can't even come up with two hundred taels of silver? If you don't even have two hundred taels of silver, how are you going to keep your business running?"
"Ask her!" Jiang Qiao'er gestured with her chin toward Jiang San Niang's location. Bai Nuo turned to look at Jiang San Niang, who was sitting on a stool. However, Bai Nuo felt that Jiang San Niang was sitting on pins and needles, desperately clutching her handkerchief with both hands, almost tearing it to shreds.
"Bai Nuo, don't ask anymore!" Jiang San Niang said softly, her face flushed red, like a ripe shrimp.
"Why can't Bai Nuo ask? Is Bai Nuo not on good terms with us? How many times has she not given you a bargain? Every time she brings you a bracelet, she gives it to you at a low price and you resell it at a high price. Take Li Jinyu, for example, how much did you make? If it weren't for Bai Nuo, could you have made so much? Bai Nuo is our partner, our friend, why can't she ask? Why can't you tell her what you've done?" Jiang Qiao'er became angrier and more agitated as she spoke, until she started shouting.
Bai Nuo looked at Jiang Qiao'er with a puzzled expression. Why did Jiang Qiao'er get so excited as she spoke?
Seeing Bai Nuo looking at her with a strange gaze, Jiang Qiao'er tried to calm herself down before saying, "Bai Nuo, haven't you been away for half a month? Really, you have no idea how much of a breakdown I've had these past two weeks. My sister, the manager of San Niang Cloth Shop, has lost her mind and is now acting entirely on emotion."
Jiang Qiao'er looked at Jiang San Niang with sarcasm, her teeth itching with hatred. If it weren't for the fact that Jiang San Niang had raised her since she was a child and was both her sister and mother, she would have slapped her long ago. But it seemed that slapping her wouldn't have made a difference. They had already talked things out, but Jiang San Niang was still the same.
But it was precisely because of this that Jiang Qiao'er felt an extraordinary heartache.
“At that time, there was only one thousand taels of silver left in the shop, which was used for working capital and to pay other customers. But my sister gave all one thousand taels of silver to Yu Ziqing. Now our shop is just an empty shell. Not only are we out of working capital, but we can't even pay other customers. Tell me, how can my sister still dare to take your goods? She doesn't even dare to make money because we don't even have the capital. Not only do we not have money to buy goods, we don't even have money for food!”
“Where is there no?” Jiang San Niang couldn’t help but argue, but under Jiang Qiao’er’s sharp gaze, she shut her mouth and dared not say anything.
Holy crap?
This was exactly what Bai Nuo wanted to say: "Is Jiang San Niang out of her mind? How could she do this? Didn't she consider that her one-sided sacrifices would make her unable to survive? Now it seems even San Niang's Cloth Shop is gone."
After San Niang's Cloth Shop is gone, how will Jiang San Niang and Jiang Qiao'er live?
But seeing Jiang San Niang like that, Bai Nuo couldn't say a word.
Women in love have zero IQ, whether they are mature women or little girls, no exceptions!
"I'm going to ask Yu Ziqing for it back!" Bai Nuoteng stood up abruptly. "What kind of person is he? Why does he always ask you for money? It's too much!"
As she was about to walk towards the door, Jiang Qiao'er grabbed her arm, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Why don't we come back? Yu Ziqing just bought a big house not long ago. I went to inquire, and the house cost over nine hundred taels of silver." Now they should only have a little bit left. What would she do with that little bit?
Would you buy a rope and hang yourself?
"Then what will you do?" Bai Nuo asked. If you can't pay for the goods, or if you don't have money to buy more, will there still be San Niang Cloth Shop?
"I don't know," Jiang Qiao'er shook her head painfully.
Bai Nuo was furious. She gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and said, "You just wait!" Then she quickly moved the table where she sold snacks outside and wrapped up all the pearls.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Qiao'er hurriedly chased after him!
"I'll pool my money for you!" Bai Nuo explained quickly, her movements swift as she arranged the bracelets and necklaces.
"Don't just stand there, hurry up and start shouting!" Bai Nuo said quickly, looking around constantly.
"What are you shouting for?" Jiang Qiao'er didn't quite understand.
"Pearl bracelets, fifty taels a string; short pearl necklaces, one hundred and fifty taels each; long necklaces, one hundred and sixty taels each. You can name whatever you like!"
"You mean..." Jiang Qiao'er seemed to realize what Bai Nuo was about to do, and said with some regret, "The people coming and going here are all ordinary people, they probably can't afford these things."
Which family that spends only one or two taels of silver a month, or even less, would be willing to spend one hundred and sixty taels of silver to buy a long necklace? Nobody would.
