Not only did the other party not borrow money, but they were big customers. “Wife of the Xiao Family, there are only two sets available now. If you want five sets, the other three need to be made. Do you want to wait? We can surely finish it by this afternoon.”

“I don’t have time to wait.” She said, “I have to go back and decoct medicine for my second brother. How about this? I’ll pay you the silver first, and I have to go buy rice later, and buy more. If the rice shop owner is willing to help me send it to the village, you can bring me the bedding quilt and pillowcase tomorrow. I’ll tell you later which rice shop I bought it from.”

“Wushan Village is too far away… Rice shops generally wouldn’t deliver.”

“I’ll pay a few extra cents and they will.”

“Alright.”

Lady Li calculated, “The wheelchair costs 5 taels and 200 cents, the clothes can be sold for 1 tael of silver, and the embroidered shoes cost 100 cents per pair. For the five sets of good bedding quilts and pillowcases, I’ll charge you five taels, and I’ll give you four pillowcases for free.”

Su Qingyue chose the patterns for the bedding quilt and mat sheet, “That’s a total of 11 taels and 200 cents.”

“Yes.” Lady Li nodded. With so much money, even though she gave her a discount, she was afraid Su Qingyue wouldn’t be able to afford it.

Who knew Su Qingyue would directly take out a 10-tael silver ingot and 1,000 scattered copper coins, and felt embarrassed, “I sold two baskets of fried ferns, so I have too much change.” One tael of silver is equal to 800 copper coins, so the payment was just right without needing any change. Lady Li was stunned, “Wife of the Xiao Family, did you make so much money by selling fried ferns?”

“I made some money by selling fried ferns, but not that much. However, I sold the stir-fried tasty fern recipe to the Rich Source Tavern, and promised that I won’t sell stir-fried tasty fern again in the future.” Su Qingyue didn’t specify how much she made.

Lady Li thought it was ten taels, “Just selling a frying recipe can make so much money? It’s really worthwhile.”

If she knew it was fifty taels, wouldn’t she be scared to death? Su Qingyue didn’t explain, there was no need to tell others how much money she had, “It’s more than ten taels, it helped to resolve a pressing matter for our family.”

Lady Li kept her word, and counted out sixty copper coins, “I said I’d give you sixty cents before.”

Su Qingyue shook her head, “No need. You thought the Xiao family was in a difficult situation so you offered a discount. You’re not having it easy either. Really, no need.”

Lady Li insisted, “You take it. I didn’t know you were buying so much. These sixty cents aren’t a gift, but a discount to round off the total amount.”

Su Qingyue finally accepted, “Well then. When I get home, I’ll measure the sizes of my second, third, and fourth brothers, and have their clothes made at your shop later.”

Lady Li was delighted, “Then let’s settle on that.” The discount they gave was too good, and they could even do more business.

“Alright.” Lady Li was a good person, and Su Qingyue would have to buy from someone anyway.

“The Xiao family is truly blessed for having a good wife like you.” Lady Li praised.

Su Qingyue just laughed, and asked Lady Li how to measure the size for the new clothes. Then she left with the coarse cloth bag Lady Li gave her, filled with new clothes and two pairs of new shoes. She didn’t change into the new clothes right away because she was covered in sweat, and she still had a lot to buy.

She then went to another grain shop. The shop owner saw her carrying two empty bamboo baskets, and she looked extremely ugly. As she was about to enter the shop, the shop owner waved his hand, “Go, go, go, beggar, don’t block my business.”

Immediately, he turned to another well-dressed woman entering the shop, “Lady, what would you like to buy? Our small shop has rice, food, oil…”
