"Since when do we have to pay for our mothers-in-law's purchases? What kind of daughter-in-law treats her like this? She hasn't even entered the family yet and she's already treating her mother-in-law like this. We don't want a daughter-in-law like this!"
As she spoke, Old Lady Yu glanced at Jiang San Niang, attempting to intimidate her.
She refused to believe that Jiang Sanniang would not comply with this condition. If she did not get what she wanted, Jiang Sanniang could forget about marrying into their family.
"Where would I get a mother-in-law like you?" Bai Nuo knew exactly what Old Lady Yu was up to, and immediately laughed. "I'm only thirteen years old, still too young to be your daughter-in-law. You're overthinking it!"
"What do you mean you're my daughter-in-law? I'm talking about her!" Old Mrs. Yu pointed at Jiang San Niang. "I'm talking about her, she's my betrothed daughter-in-law!"
"Oh!" Bai Nuo said with a sudden realization, "You mean Jiang San Niang? She's not the boss's wife. This shop belongs to me. Jiang San Niang is just helping out here. She has to pay for what she buys. By the way, Jiang San Niang still owes me money. As her future mother-in-law, shouldn't you help her pay it off?"
Old Mrs. Yu was immediately dumbfounded.
Seeing her future mother-in-law acting like this in public, Jiang San Niang felt embarrassed. She pulled Old Lady Yu up and said helplessly, "Auntie, this really isn't mine. I can't give it to you for free. I don't have the money right now either. How about I buy it for you in a few days? Or if you want it, you can go back and have Zi Qing bring the money over."
Upon hearing Bai Nuo's words, Granny Yu immediately objected. She was entitled to her share of the money, and had no intention of helping Jiang San Niang repay it. Using Jiang San Niang's strength, she tried to slam the necklace on the table, but Bai Nuo quickly stopped her, saying, "Auntie, be careful! This thing is worth thirty-three taels of silver. If you damage it even a little, you'll have to pay for it all!"
Old Mrs. Yu was both angry and didn't know what to say. She shoved the necklace into Jiang San Niang's hand and scolded, "You spendthrift woman, you're willing to let Ziqing buy something that costs thirty taels of silver. Aren't you just wasting his money?"
After saying that, he ran out in a flash, abandoning Zhang Jiyue altogether.
Zhang Jiyue stood there, stunned, staring blankly.
Bai Nuo found her appearance quite amusing and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Zhang, do you want to buy some? I have many more here, you can take your time choosing."
Zhang Jiyue quickly came to her senses and waved her hand, "No, I won't buy it!" She then ran away with a red face.
Jiang San Niang immediately breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Bai Nuo guiltily, saying, "I'm sorry, Bai Nuo, I didn't know they would come, and..."
Bai Nuo shook her head, indicating to Jiang San Niang that there was no need to say anything more. "You're just too kind. Given their family's situation, how will you manage if you're so kind? Won't you just get bullied to death by them?"
"Sigh!" Jiang San Niang shook her head. "I don't know, but in the end, Zi Qing still loves me!"
Bai Nuo kept shaking his head at Jiang San Niang's appearance. He had given up hope for love, and seeing Jiang San Niang like this made him even less willing to get married.
I'm afraid of encountering a mother-in-law like Granny Yu.
"Miss Bai!" After the farce, Bai Nuo returned to the counter. Lu Ying came over and said in a low voice, "Our Second Master has something to tell you, but he's too embarrassed to come over. Could you go over there?"
Bai Nuo glanced at Hu Mingmei, and Hu Mingmei looked over at the same time. After they exchanged a glance, Bai Nuo nodded, walked out from behind the counter, and went to Hu Mingmei's table.
"What's wrong?" Bai Nuo sat down opposite Hu Mingmei and asked, "Are you feeling better? Have you finished your medicine?"
She remembered what Lu Ying had said: this person was sick again, and unfortunately, he ran away before he finished his medicine.
Hu Mingmei nodded. "It's nothing serious."
"What do you want?" Bai Nuo asked.
Hu Mingmei took off his purse and placed it on the table. "The thing you gave me is the same as what you sell. I didn't know it was so expensive. Can you tell me how you made it? I'll go back and get one so I don't have to pay for it myself. Thirty taels of silver, that's so expensive!"
Bai Nuo's heart skipped a beat.
