Chapter 776  Haggling ——2

1

In the eyes of Fei Qinfan, the sum of a tael was nothing but in the eyes of the onlookers, it was a rather large amount which was why Old Madam Shen haggled until the price fell to a decent amount which was neither big nor small. With five hundred copper coins, there was a chance that not everyone will lose interest in their family at least this way she will be able to lead these people by their noses that her family was not exceptionally wealthy.

They were not afraid since they had shadow guards but it was still foolish to attract unnecessary trouble for no reason which will only lead to further damage.

Old Madam Shen was cautious and did not care how people looked at her, since she was a widow, she knew how to take care of her family from a very young age, even though the people would praise her for marrying a man who was rich and ambitious only she knew how hard it was for her to stay married to a man who went out six times a month, travelling through boats and carriages —— before losing his life at the age of forty.

The royal merchant was all people said but when he died, didn\'t her husband become just a pile of bones in the sea?

The innkeeper could not keep his pace in front of Old Madam Shen and lost the battle to her before agreeing to the price of five hundred copper coins and extra hot water, only then did Old Madam Shen take out the copper coins and counted them thoroughly before paying the advance.

" I will pay the extra two hundred in the morning after I have seen the hot water," said Old Madam Shen causing the innkeeper to almost stop smiling.

It was just hot water was there a need to act like this? But he did not dare to say these words out loud lest the Old Lady Shen took his words to heart and opened another inn that will give hot water to its customers.

By the time Old Madam Shen was done with haggling almost all the thugs had lost interest in her family, they no longer wanted to chase after this family. From the looks of it, they were not that rich and they did not seem to have much money either for an Old Lady to haggle like this—— it was far too embarrassing.

The thugs left the inn one after another only two thugs who looked at the inconspicuous carriages that looked old and worn out continued to look at the inn every three steps. The one who was stockier and short turned to look at his elder brother and asked, " Brother Du, do you think that the family really have no money?"

When the younger brother heard that there was a family who was willing to book the entire inn, he was excited that he will be able to get some money from them but the group turned out to be even stingier than the old man who came earlier with his family.

The two brothers thought that the old man was only faking it and tried to steak his savings and in the end, after risking their lives in the hands of the guards that were hired by the old man, they only got three to five silver taels and a few copper coins.

Later on, they found out that the guards were hired by the old man and he was just a lowly merchant who barely earned anything when the officers came looking for them.

Brother Du turned to look at his younger brother and then smiled evilly, " What are you worried about? So what if they don\'t have any money? They have a young woman with them —- right? Even if they do not have the money to satisfy us, we can use the woman, Bohai."

Xiao Bohai smiled and shot a slightly annoyed look at Brother Du before he snorted in disgust, " That woman seemed to be six months pregnant…you want to do her?"

" So what? She will be juicier …hehe.." Brother Du snickered as he took out a bunch of black balls that he made with Xiao Bohai after finding out the trick of making firecrackers. " And we have these as well, I am sure the woman will do anything as long as we threaten her."

…..

Su Wan did not know that even though Old Madam Shen tried her best to keep the danger at bay, she still ended up attracting some minor pests because of her face that stuck out in the crowd, at this moment she was hugging Old Madam Shen\'s arm and was praising her grandmother.

" You were really cool out there grandmother, I didn\'t think that anyone could look so heroic while haggling but you changed my mind."

" Oh you," Old Madam Shen poked Su Wan in her arm, she looked like she was annoyed by her praise but the smile on her face never left. " You only know how to praise this old woman, did you acquire a honey tongue or what? How come your words are so sweet?"

The two women were smiling at each other while Shen Junxi carried the heavy baggage along with the Lin brothers. He looked at his mother and could not help but say, " What do you mean by heroic, Wan Wan? Do not tell lies to your grandmother —— be honest she looks like a miser doesn\'t she? And mother why did you have to trouble yourself like that … I might be a butcher but I can still pay a silver tael!"
