Chapter 57: Let's see what she can do

Only then did Shi Qingluo stop whipping Fourth Son Shi and release him.

She rubbed her wrist and complained, "If grandma had done this earlier, I wouldn't have to work so hard."

Old Lady Shi "..."

How hard did you work?

It was her son who was suffering, right?

Upon his release, he immediately hid behind Old Lady Shi. He rubbed his face and rubbed his hands together.

The wretched girl's whipping was too painful.

No wonder his third brother and sister-in-law were so afraid of her.

"Mother, let's get down to business." He tugged at Old Lady Shi's sleeve and said in a low voice.

Only then did Old Lady Shi endure the indignation and said to Shi Qingluo, "My eldest granddaughter, we came today for your own good."

Shi Qingluo guessed right away that other than the tofu recipe, these people probably wanted the earth bombs.

However, she pretended not to know. "What's the good news?"

Old Lady Shi said, "The Wu family is very interested in those little black balls in your hands. They want to buy it with silver."

Shi Qingluo played with the vines and asked, "What's the price?"

Fourth Son Shi said, "5 taels of silver each."

Shi Qingluo raised her eyebrows. "Are you trying to get rid of some beggars?"

She looked at Fourth Son Shi with a subtle smile and asked, "How much commission did you receive?"

Fourth Son Shi was speechless.

This wretched girl must have transformed from a fox to be so shrewd.

His heart was filled with hatred, but he had no choice but to smile. "You must be joking. We are the ones who are pulling strings. The Wu family said that they would give some rewards."

They don't admit receiving commissions.

Shi Qingluo couldn't be bothered to ask further. "Go and tell the Wu family that a small black ball costs a hundred taels of silver. Either they buy it, else forget it. I'm not worried about selling it."

Fourth Son Shi was speechless. "A hundred taels, why don't you go and rob?"

The Wu family priced them at ten taels of silver each, and they were prepared to earn five taels of silver for every black ball.

This wretched girl really dared to raise the price.

She raised the Wu family's offer by ten times in their first meet up.

Shi Qingluo sneered. "A hundred taels of silver for a small black ball. Buying these that were refined by my old immortal master is benefiting the Wu family.

"Do you think the Wu family is as poor as you? You can't even think properly."

Fourth Son Shi and the others were numbed.

Just discuss this matter and don't hold anything else against them!

The wretched girl's mouth was too annoying.

Madam Niu was speechless. "But isn't a hundred taels of silver a little too expensive?"

One hundred taels of silver for a little black ball.

Back then, this was the price of sending her to the Wu family for the marriage.

Shi Qingluo raised her eyebrows and said, "Does the Bai family know? They even came to our house for dinner today. If the Wu family can't afford it, Young Master Bai can afford it. Just go and tell the Wu family the price. They will most likely agree. Then, for each small black ball, you can ask the Wu family for five or ten taels of silver as the cost of your running the errand and convincing me. I'm the only one who still thinks about all of you." She gave the troublemakers a slight stare that hinted that she was the nicer one.
