Chapter 70 Confrontation with Lin Zhiyi
You should know that ordinary straw raincoats and bamboo hats on the market only cost thirty or forty coins a set, but they are not waterproof and cannot protect you from rainy days.
Even if the quality is high, a set only costs one or two hundred coins.
Lin Zhiyi’s products are of better quality and only cost about 70 or 80 cents a set.
Ask her for one or two taels of silver?
Mrs. Bai glared at Lin Zhiyi angrily.
Lin Zhiyi smiled and said, "If Madam Bai thinks it's too expensive, you can buy it somewhere else."
Mrs. Bai choked.
Where can I buy it in this desolate mountain area?
Even if we could buy it somewhere else, the escorting officers wouldn't let us go.
Mrs. Bai was a little annoyed for a moment.
But she was somewhat reluctant to spend one or two taels of silver to buy a set of straw raincoat.
"Um... Miss Lin, could you please offer a lower price? One tael of silver for two sets, is that okay?"
"no."
Lin Zhiyi refused without hesitation.
Seeing that the rain was about to get heavier, Mrs. Bai could only take out the silver with tears in her eyes.
My heart is bleeding with pain.
When she took the straw raincoat and bamboo hat back, she passed by the Fan and Cui families and heard them all praising Lin Zhiyi for being a good person and giving them the bamboo hat and straw raincoat for free. She was so angry that she threw the straw raincoat and bamboo hat on the ground and ran to confront Lin Zhiyi.
"Lin Zhiyi, you are too cruel. You gave them the straw raincoat and bamboo hat for free, yet you charged me so much money?"
Lin Zhiyi's face turned cold: "If Madam Bai doesn't want it, you can send it back and I'll return the money to you."
"you……"
"When you and Second Aunt were plotting against me yesterday, did you ever think of leaving some space for me so we could meet again in the future? Now you want to take my things for free. On what basis do you think that's right?"
As soon as Lin Zhiyi finished speaking, Mrs. Bai's face turned red.
After all, she came from a prominent family and still had to maintain some dignity. When she heard people around her pointing and talking, she immediately lost face and walked away with her head down.
She felt a little regretful. Why did she believe what Madam Zou said these days and followed Madam Zou in making trouble? Now, she suffered a huge loss!
She had been counting on using the money to get through the difficult times in Fangzhou, but now she had spent twelve taels of silver in one go.
Liang's mother originally came to get a free raincoat, but because Liang Xi was still sick, she had to come with a thick face.
But she heard that the Bai family spent one or two taels of silver to buy it, but she had no money on her.
She went forward to ask Lin Zhiyi if she could give her a few pieces.
Before she could speak, she heard Lin Zhiyi say, "I won't sell it even if the Liang family offers a sky-high price!"
Madam Liang was immediately furious. "Lin Zhiyi, don't go too far!"
"Am I being over the top, or are you? Madam Liang, let me tell you something. Sister Zhaozhao also asked someone to buy her a straw raincoat today. She just gave it to Master Li, but he confiscated it.
Since you two are such good friends and your son is injured, you can ask her for the money. Sister Zhaozhao is so kind that she will definitely not accept your money."
When Mrs. Liang heard that Mu Yunzhao had also prepared a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, she snorted coldly and left.
When Mrs. Bai passed by the second branch of the Lin family with her straw raincoat in her arms, she snorted coldly at Mrs. Zou.
If it weren't for Zou, how could she have bought the raincoat at such a high price today?
Mrs. Zou was confused. Seeing the straw raincoat and bamboo hat in Mrs. Bai's hands, she asked, "Where did you get the straw raincoat?"
Mrs. Bai ignored her and walked straight past.
Mrs. Zou was full of doubts. She looked in the direction she was going and saw that Lin Zhi was distributing straw raincoats to everyone.
She was delighted and called Madam Zhou from the third house and came to Lin Zhiyi's carriage.
"Zhizhi, I see they have all received their straw raincoats and bamboo hats. Your Third Aunt and I will come over to get them too."
Lin Zhiyi smiled and said, "Okay, Second Aunt, one tael of silver per set, how many sets do you want?"
Zou and Madam Zhou said in unison, "What? One tael of silver for a set? Zhizhi, we are family, don't do this."
Lin Zhiyi sneered, "Second Aunt, have you forgotten that it was your son who forced our eldest wife to sign the document of severing the relationship?"
She looked at the others and said, "There are not many straw raincoats and bamboo hats left. If you want one, it's one or two taels of silver per set. Whoever grabs it first gets it."
Seeing this, those who failed to buy the raincoats didn't care about the price at all and started scrambling to buy them.
It’s a bit expensive, but at least it’s better than nothing.
Lin Zhiyi didn't charge money to everyone. She gave money to those who spoke for her for free.
Those who scolded her must be regretting it now, but if they don't buy it, they will just have to wait in the rain.
Some people also thought that the rain was not heavy and that it would stop soon, and secretly cursed those who bought the expensive raincoats for being so stupid.
Seeing that the raincoats were about to be sold out, Mrs. Zou and Mrs. Zhou became anxious and hurried back to get money.
She cursed Lin Zhiyi in her heart, saying that she was as heartless as her parents!
They came to their mother-in-law, Old Lady Wang, and talked about buying straw raincoats. There were seven people in the second house, four people in the third house, and Old Lady Wang, a total of twelve people.
When Mrs. Wang heard that they wanted money, she refused to give it to them no matter what.
Zou said, "Mother-in-law, please give me the money quickly. If we go too late, the raincoats will be sold out and we will have to get wet in the rain."
"I just heard them say that straw raincoats are free, so why are you asking for money?"
Madam Wang asked with a frown.
Ever since the family split, when Lin Xiu Ze came and tried to coax out Old Lady Wang's money, Old Lady Wang has been wary of them like thieves.
She concluded that Zou and Zhou were colluding to defraud her of her money.
"Mother-in-law, this is all true. If you don't believe me, go with your daughter-in-law and see for yourself. I really didn't lie to you."
Seeing that Old Lady Wang ignored her, Lady Zou became anxious. "Mother-in-law, please say something. If you don't believe me, ask my sister-in-law. She listens to you the most and will definitely not lie to you."
Madam Zhou nodded in response, "Mother-in-law, what my second sister-in-law said is true."
After finally coaxing some money out of Old Lady Wang, the two of them hurried to buy straw raincoats, but saw only three left in the carriage. They hurriedly asked, "Where are the straw raincoats?"
Lin Zhiyi shrugged, "They're all sold out. If Second Aunt doesn't want these three, they'll be gone soon."
Mrs. Zou was so angry that her face turned blue. She gritted her teeth and said, "Yes!"
As she spoke, she took out three taels of silver in a bad mood and gave it to Lin Zhiyi.
She couldn't help but blame Madam Wang in her heart. There were so many people in the second and third rooms, but they only had three straw raincoats. How could they wear them all? If her mother-in-law had been willing to give them money at the beginning, they wouldn't have been without straw raincoats.
After the last three straw raincoats were sold, Lin Zhiyi closed the small door at the back of the carriage, put on the straw raincoat, put on a bamboo hat, and got on the carriage.
Li Wenjing looked at Lin Zhiyi through the car curtain, secretly admiring Lin Zhiyi in his heart.
It rained that day, which not only helped Miss Lin win over many people, but also made her enough money.
Mu Yunzhao also looked at Lin Zhiyi who was sitting in the carriage not far away, his eyes dark and unclear!
No wonder the deposed prince refused to accept her straw raincoat. It turned out that Lin Zhiyi had prepared a large number of straw raincoats and bamboo hats.
But how did she know it would rain today? When she arrived at the post station at noon, the weather was sunny and beautiful.
Could it be that she...
Before she could think about it, she saw Liang's mother coming to her and slapping her in the face, "Little bitch, it's all because of you that our Liang family has no raincoats to wear!"
