Wang Gui was also helpless because of the quarrels among the villagers, so he had to shamelessly come and plead with Wang Po.
Mrs. Wang pretended to be surprised and said, "Didn't they collect so much magical herbs just to make me some? So they wanted to sell it to me? Then why didn't they discuss the price with me in advance?"
"This is their negligence. As for the price, we should naturally negotiate. I heard that you went to Li Lin's house to collect immortal grass and it cost five cents a day?"
Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "But now we only charge three cents to people from other villages, so we didn't buy it from Sister Li. She is just a woman and can't compete with so many people in our village."
Wang Gui looked embarrassed. He asked tentatively, "It's not always so convenient in other villages. Auntie, if you ask someone from our village to buy the magic grass, what price can you offer?"
"This... magical grass is available everywhere. The money you pay is just labor costs. This isn't a hard job. I think the three cents offered by this outsider is quite reasonable!"
"But didn't you from Li Lin's family pay five cents before?" Wang Gui asked.
At this time, Su Liuer came in from outside and said with a smile: "Li Yin, you don't know, mother-in-law saw that Sister Li's family was in trouble and wanted to help, so she found an excuse to pick fairy grass. Otherwise, I would go to pick fairy grass on weekdays. This job is very easy."
"But," Su Liu'er changed the subject and said to Mrs. Wang, "Mother-in-law, what the village head said is reasonable. We work hard in business. There's no reason to give the opportunity to make money to people from other villages instead of to people from the same village. We are all from the same village. How about we just give them five cents?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang frowned immediately and it was obvious that she did not agree.
Su Liuer winked at Wang Gui who was standing beside her, and Wang Gui immediately struck while the iron was hot:
"Daxi, Madam Su is right. Auntie, since we're all from the same village, can you continue to charge five cents for the magic herb? We won't favor any one family. Everyone who has the magic herb will take turns buying it. Leave it to me to arrange it. Is that okay with you?"
Five cents is just a bowl of herbal nectar for Su Liuer, but for those villagers who can't do business and have no skills and can only rely on the weather for their livelihood, picking some herbal nectar and exchanging it for five cents is already a great thing!
As the village head, Wang Gui not only wants to gain the support and respect of the villagers, but he also really wants to do something for the poor villagers, so he is so embarrassed today.
He looked at Mrs. Wang eagerly, waiting for her reply.
Su Liuer and Wang Po had discussed this matter a long time ago, so Wang Po was just pretending to be conflicted. After a moment, she nodded as if with some pain in her heart.
Wang Gui stood up happily and said immediately, "Then I will go tell the villagers now. Starting tomorrow, I will arrange for a family to send you the magical grass every evening. Is that okay?"
"Okay, you arrange it. We will pay you in cash every day." Mrs. Wang nodded in agreement.
Wang Gui left with a happy look on his face, and Su Liuer winked at Wang Po playfully.
"You are such a clever person. How did you calculate all these things? Can you also tell fortunes?" Mrs. Wang smiled kindly. She hadn't been so happy for a long time.
Su Liuer put her index finger to her lips and whispered, "Shh, don't let others hear it. If everyone comes to me for fortune-telling, I'll be exhausted!"
Mrs. Wang shook her head and laughed. She really couldn't argue with this girl at all.
After cleaning up and washing up, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Just as Su Liuer came out of the space, she heard a scream from Wang Po. She was so scared that she quickly got up from the bed and rushed out of the room, fearing that she might have fallen!
