Chapter 203 Buying Cloth

Zhao Qi felt very embarrassed.

She originally wanted to find out what kind of person this newcomer was like.

When Zhao Qi met Zhu Suisui, she immediately decided that this man was young and married to Lu Lanxu because of his looks.

Zhao Qi naturally didn't take her seriously, and spoke in a sarcastic way, deliberately trying to make her feel uncomfortable, and she didn't dare to say anything to refute him.

If she had an impulsive personality, it would be even better, and her reputation in the family compound would naturally be bad.

We are all family, there are many people, many with different personalities and family backgrounds. Being able to live together peacefully in the same place is all achieved through exploration and adjustment over time.

But if the newcomer has a bad personality and is difficult to get along with, everyone will naturally reject him.

If you are not impulsive and are a coward, that's fine too. You can get more out of your situation and it will be easier for you to do anything.

Anyway, both possibilities that Zhao Qilian thought of were good things for her.

But I never expected it.

I wish Sui Sui took the third path.

Not only did this make other people dissatisfied with Zhao Qi, but it also made Zhao Qi realize that she was not an easy target.

Zhao Qi's smile naturally became more forced, but he couldn't utter a word.

Seeing her like this, Zhu Suisui still smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Sisters-in-law, please go inside and sit down. It's very cold outside."

It seems that not everyone in the family compound is as easy to get along with as Sister-in-law Zhu Fen.

But it's normal. Where there are many people, there will be conflicts. Everyone has a different personality and no one can be smooth talkers.

Zhu Suisui never thought that everyone thought he was good, but he also didn't want to be the target of criticism.

She can still do the necessary etiquette.

Zhao Qi knew that Zhu Suisui was not someone to be trifled with, so she no longer dared to act in a sinister way. If she said something wrong, these people would go back and tell everyone about her.

She had no choice but to flatter him: "Sui Sui is really thoughtful. Commissioner Lu is so lucky."

Zhu Suisui would not go so far as to not even give Zhao Qi a cup of tea. At most, he would put less tea leaves in her tea and fill the cup with hot water.

Zhao Qi: “…”

Other people present may not understand what this means, but Zhao Qi definitely does.

When pouring tea for guests, usually only pour 70% full and leave 30% because the remaining 30% is friendship.

If you just fill the cup with tea, that would be an insult.

It was an explicit expression of unwelcome, but also an implicit order to expel them.

How could Zhao Qi keep such a look on her face? Her anger was rising, but when she looked at Zhu Suisui, he was still looking at her with a friendly smile.

She was sure that if she told him, he would use her young age as an excuse.

Instead, I appear to be sensitive.

But Zhao Qi knew that she must have done it on purpose.

If you are more sensible, you should just leave.

Zhao Qi was proud and arrogant to begin with, so he could not stand such an insult. He found an excuse and left without even drinking his tea.

As soon as she left.

The atmosphere in the house visibly improved.

Zhu Fen took Zhu Suisui to look around, exclaiming in admiration.

Of course, it wasn't a jealous tone, but genuine envy.

She doesn't have a romantic heart, but that doesn't stop her from liking elegant houses.

Zhu Suisui chatted with Zhu Fen for a few words, and the man who came to deliver the coal was almost drunk and was about to leave.

She said, "Sister-in-law, please stay here and watch. I'll go see them off."

Of course Zhu Fen wouldn't say anything, she still knew how to entertain guests, so she was told to go and entertain them and no one else was to bother with her.

Zhu Suisui was still thinking about the piece of cloth, so when he sent the man out, he said, "Big brother, if your piece of cloth is of no use, can you just sell it to me?"

The elder brother holding the cloth was obviously stunned for a moment.

He looked down at the cloth. It was so dirty that he couldn't even tell what it originally looked like.

It forms a sharp contrast with Zhu Sui's brilliance.

He was naturally puzzled, "Why do you want this cloth? But if you want it, I can just give it to you. You don't have to sell it."

It was originally a piece of rag that he picked up by chance. He usually used it to cover the cart while working so that coal lumps would not dirty the cart.

Zhu Suisui smiled, having already prepared his words, "If I leave these coal lumps outside, they will get wet when it rains, so I wanted to find a piece of cloth to cover them, but I don't have anything suitable here. I saw you have one, so I wanted to keep it. You don't have to give it to me. I can't take advantage of you."

No matter how nice the other party is, you still have to pay them what you deserve.

Besides, it is possible that someone may want to return the things they gave away one day.

Should I give it or not when the time comes?

Zhu Suisui thinks it is better to borrow money in both cash and silver.

This way there is less trouble.

The brother who delivered the coal had no choice but to accept the offer.

Who would turn money away?

Zhu Suisui looked like a polite person, which made him feel that the leader's wife was also a down-to-earth person.

I actually want to buy something that I can easily ask for.

He was embarrassed to ask for a high price, so he said, "Then just order whatever you like."

It was just a piece of rag, and he didn't know what the best price to give for it was.

Zhu Suisui thought for a moment and said, "Five dollars, then."

The other party was really shocked and blurted out, "Five dollars?!"

A piece of rag is worth five dollars?

His daily salary was less than five dollars, but he could earn five dollars by selling a piece of rag?

This world is really too mysterious.

Thinking about the tea and snacks he had drunk earlier, he knew that Zhu Suisui was a generous man and probably came from a wealthy family, so he didn't think that this small amount of money was money.

Comparing yourself to others will make you angry.

But he was not jealous. Thinking of the hospitality, he reluctantly said, "This cloth is worthless. Five dollars is too much. I can't accept it."

Xiao Pan, who was waiting nearby, couldn't help but glance at Zhu Suisui, and naturally felt that her bid was too high.

Originally, Zhu Suisui wanted to buy cloth, and Xiao Pan could understand it. After all, it was good of her not to take advantage of others.

But the bid is too high.

Xiao Pan was afraid that Zhu Suisui didn't understand the market value, so he said, "Yes, sister-in-law, just give me one or two dollars. I can buy you a piece of clean cloth for five dollars."

Zhu Suisui laughed, "If you buy clean cloth and cover it with coal, it will get dirty, right? The cloth was originally used for storage, and you still need to get another piece of cloth to cover it. Isn't that a hassle? It's hard work to bring coal here in the middle of winter. Just five yuan, and you can leave the cloth to me."

Talking.

She took out five dollars from her pocket.

This cloth is most likely worth a lot, so there's no need to bargain for it. Five dollars may sound like a lot, but it won't arouse suspicion in others. You can also do them a favor and make them think you're thoughtful.

If I bid more than ten dollars directly, anyone with a bit of common sense would find it strange.
