101. Nice Treatment
Qiao Xuan thought for a while and smiled. "Okay, 2 liang isn't a high price, but Manager Qin, you pay promptly, so I will take the deal."
"Good, good! Miss, if you have some more, bring it to us please!"
The manager let out a sigh of relief and smiled, as he asked the assistant to start weighing the goods.
Two liang for 500 grams was not a low price, nor was it high. The manager was trying to get a bargain, because he did need to spend extra effort in dealing with the original plants.
Qiao Xuan took the deal and told him that she was aware of the market price well enough.
Manager believed that if the seller was not as smart as this young miss, he would definitely have managed to buy all the plants at 2 qian per 500 grams instead.
The final bill was 172 liang for 43 kgs.
If they give half of it to the shared savings, each of them would still get dozens of liang in the end.
The three of them were really pleased.
They bought some good food, and Qiao Xuan fetched the newly-tailored clothes, before heading back to the village happily.
Qiao Xuan asked Shao Yunduan to join them when she was handing out the money.
Shao Yunduan was startled as he said, "You went to the town? You have to tell me when you go to town next time. I need to be with you."
Qi and Taotao could do nothing.
If something happened, they were not going to be of any help. They would even be frightened away!
Qiao Xuan got very happy when she heard that he cared about her safety rather than the money, so she said, "Alright, next time, I will tell you first..."
Qiao Xuan was smiling inside her heart. She was so lucky to have a husband who treated her nicely!
Shao Yunduan was really worried about her safety. He had witnessed how Madame Qiao and those from the Qiao Family treated her, so he was really angry and concerned about her. He was scared that she would run into them.
Those annoying servants were even worse than their masters. They would always flatter the masters in all kinds of manners.
What if some housekeeper, servant or annoying aunties ran into Qiao Xuan and bullied her?
But seeing how Qiao Xuan reacted... he suddenly became shy...
But he felt somehow happy too, when he saw her cheerful face.
Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan, Shao Taotao, Shao Xiaoqi, Ms. Fang were dividing the money.
Ms. Xu did not notice the amount of money, as she was watching her children eating snacks and putting on new dresses.
Ms. Fang and Shao Yunduan were very surprised to see this much money.
Qiao Xuan took two notes, each of them was worth 50 liang, whilst the rest was 10 liang as well as some small changes.
They had spent some on food, such as ribs and pork belly as well as 50 kgs of rice and 15 kgs of flour.
Those staple foods were consumed fast in a large family like theirs.
Ms. Fang patted her throbbing heart as she said in a shivering voice, "This... much money was earned because you sold that plant?"
"Yes, Mom!" The three of them nodded with a smile.
