Chapter 297 Double Compensation
"...Even the shop passed down from our ancestors was sold by them." Liu Yuanfeng exhaled, his face was drunk, and he shook his head, "I don't know if my father would be so angry that he would come back to life if he still has a spirit in the afterlife."
Bo Ge'er didn't want to interfere in other people's family affairs, so he just gave a few words of advice.
Liu Yuanfeng shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, let's not talk about them, it's a spoiler. Come on, Bo Ge'er, let's drink!"
Jiang Mengniang advised, "Come on, drink less. Bo Ge'er is still an unmarried young man, how can he drink like you?"
Liu Yuanfeng was also very obedient. He chuckled twice and did not mention drinking again.
After the family dinner was over, Bo Ge'er left Xing Xing at Liu's house and went to the teahouse in front of Xing Garden.
Of course, he has more than one secret business, but this one is more convenient.
Boger put the thin piece of paper he had taken from Liuger on the table and asked someone to check it.
"I need to know the clues within one day at most."
Bo Ge'er said calmly.
"yes!"
…
On Xingxing's first day at the Liu family's, Wei Sanniang went out to buy breakfast herself. She was afraid that Xingxing would not be used to the food, so she bought seven or eight kinds of food and placed them on the table.
Little Si Ge'er was stunned.
"Xingxing, just take whatever you like to eat." Wei Sanniang looked at Xingxing lovingly.
In the past few years, away from the wasted time of the Liu family, Wei Sanniang's thin face has gained weight, and her originally haggard spirit and energy have quickly become fuller, and she looks as if she is full of energy.
Xing Xing felt a little embarrassed and used her chopsticks to pick up the shengjian that was closest to her: "Third Aunt, I'm not picky about food. I'm fine with anything."
Wei Sanniang really thinks Xingxing is good in every way.
She even secretly started to discuss with Jiang Mengniang: "...Now that the mourning period has come, why don't you and Yuanfeng have another child? It would be too lonely to have only Si Ge'er at home."
Jiang Mengniang agreed with a helpless smile.
After breakfast, the sun was shining brightly, so Siger pestered Xingxing to go out and play with him.
Jiang Mengniang sighed: "You naughty monkey..."
Xingxing was often pestered by her three younger brothers at the Yu family. She was used to it and responded with a smile.
The brother and sister were playing in the alley.
Siger was at his age when he was very lively and active. He played throwing balls with Xingxing and ran around. He was like a little monkey in the woods and couldn't sit still.
Xingxing's eyebrows twitched as she watched. Just as she was about to remind Siger to watch the road, she saw Siger bump into a young girl.
The girl cried out, and a brocade box in her arms fell to the ground.
The brocade box fell to the ground and everything inside fell out. It was a porcelain bowl, which broke into pieces on the ground.
Everyone in Si Ge'er was terrified.
Xing Xing hurried over and was about to apologize when she saw the girl pulling Si Ge'er, her eyebrows raised: "Who are you from? You broke all my bowls!"
Si Ge'er was so scared that he burst into tears.
Xing Xing hurriedly said, "Sister, I'm so sorry. My brother was too naughty and broke your bowl. Look at how much this bowl costs. I'll pay you double the price, okay?"
As she spoke, Xing Xing pulled Si Ge'er into her arms and checked whether he was injured.
Siger knew that he had gotten into trouble and sobbed, not daring to raise his head.
The girl looked Xing Xing up and down and snorted, "This bowl of mine is very expensive, and you want me to pay double? You are so arrogant!"
Xing Xing's attitude was still good, and she said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, sister, it was indeed us who were wrong first. We broke your bowl. Don't worry, no matter how much this bowl is worth, we will pay double."
When the girl heard what Xing Xing said, her eyes rolled and she quoted the price: "This bowl of mine will cost twenty taels of silver!"
Xing Xing widened her eyes slightly.
The Yu family's conditions have been getting better and better over the years, and Xingxing's things have naturally become better and better. She has seen a lot of good things and can basically tell the value of something at a glance.
The broken bowl of the girl should have been fired in a folk kiln near the provincial capital. It is a thin-bodied bowl with a twisted twig and a single color. The craftsmanship is not very difficult, and judging by the technique, it is not made by a master craftsman. The market price is eight taels of silver, which is sky-high.
Xingxing was a little embarrassed.
The girl offered twenty taels of silver, and she agreed to pay double, which was forty taels of silver.
Forty taels of silver was not a lot, but the banknotes she had in her sachet were enough.
but……
This sister was obviously deliberately asking a high price for her and taking advantage of her!
Seeing Xing Xing's awkward expression, the girl snorted coldly, "If you can't afford it, just tell me earlier. Where are your parents? Hurry up and tell them to come out and pay the money. I have other things to do."
Xing Xing sighed, "Sister, I am sincerely paying you the money. But you can't treat me as a sucker. Your bowl is the most expensive in the world, and it sells for eight taels of silver each. I am willing to compensate you ten taels of silver each, so I will compensate you twenty taels in total. What do you think?"
The girl was startled.
This girl in front of me looks young, so why is she quoting such a brutal price?
When she bought the bowl, the buyer wanted eight taels of silver, but she bargained hard and managed to get it down to seven taels of silver, and even got the buyer to give her a brocade box as a gift.
She mentioned twenty taels just now, firstly out of a tentative thought, and secondly because she saw that the girl spoke in an extraordinary manner and wanted to get more compensation for herself.
The girl thought about it and immediately became very confident: "——What did you say? I don't understand! I bought this bowl for twenty taels each. Since you said you would pay me double, then pay me quickly!"
As she spoke, the girl stretched out her hand and shook it towards Xing Xing.
Xing Xing frowned and stared at the girl: "In that case, you insist that your bowl is worth twenty taels of silver, then I will compensate you with an identical bowl, and then compensate you with ten taels of silver, okay?"
The girl's face froze. She had bought this bowl for seven taels of silver, and the girl had to pay her another ten taels, which now made seventeen taels. This was not as good as the twenty taels she had just paid!
Just as the situation was at a stalemate, a female voice came: "Wang Qianer, what are you doing here?"
Xing Xing thought the female voice sounded familiar. She turned around and saw Li Lanzhu, who had competed with her for the diamond bracelet in Xingyuan Yashi a few days ago, standing there with an impatient look on her face.
Li Lanzhu was originally just waiting for Wang Qianer there, but when she saw that she hadn't arrived for a long time, she came out to look for her.
Unexpectedly, Wang Qianer seemed to be arguing with someone about compensation.
She was getting a little impatient waiting, so she asked.
As a result, the man who was arguing with Wang Qianer turned around - Li Lanzhu was startled and recognized Xingxing.
As soon as she saw Xing Xing, Li Lanzhu thought of the hateful Yu Er. Her back teeth felt itchy and she couldn't help grinding her teeth.
Wang Qian'er was full of joy and called out "Lanzhu". Then she pointed at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground with a bit of grievance and said, "Lanzhu, this is the gift I wanted to give you, but it was smashed by a little brat. They said they would compensate me double, but now they are cheating again!"
