The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 18 Keep it for now

Ningzhou city is more prosperous than Tao Zhen thought. There are many shops in the city. Although the shops are not big, they have a complete range of varieties.

Tao Zhen went to get Pei Zhan some medicine, which was surprisingly cheap.

Tao Zhen took the medicine and first went to a silk shop. A middle-aged woman was arranging cloth. When she saw Tao Zhen coming in, she looked her up and down and knew she didn't have much money.

"Girl, what do you want to see?" the woman asked lukewarmly.

Tao Zhen looked around. She didn't know much about these silks and satins, but everyone knew whether they were good or bad.

Tao Zhen walked to the counter and said with a smile, "Are you taking the embroidery job?"

The woman looked at Tao Zhen, looked at her hands, and said with satisfaction: "You?"

Tao Zhen shook his head: "It's my mother. She is good at embroidery. Her brother is sick at home, and she wants to find some work to supplement the family income."

As she said that, she took out a handkerchief from her arms. It was the same one that Mrs. Pei had used before. Even though it had been there for a long time, it still had stains that couldn't be washed away, but the embroidery work was really good.

The woman looked at it and was indeed very satisfied, muttering: "It's better to embroider on both sides..."

Tao Zhen nodded: "Yes, if it weren't for the family's decline..."

She sighed.

The woman laughed when she heard this: "Don't deceive me. You came from the exile village, right? You are dressed in a rustic and shabby manner, but your skin and tender flesh are quite beautiful. It's hard to find it anywhere else except the exile village." "

Tao Zhen "..."

She didn't know whether this person was praising her or scolding her.

The woman didn't wait for her to speak, and said: "Don't worry too much, there are no people in Ningzhou City, and I won't stop doing your business just because you are from the exile village, but the price will be according to the rules. , give half!”

Tao Zhen frowned.The woman sneered: "Don't show such an expression. The quarry only pays for half of it. Go out and ask around. This is the rule in Ningzhou."

Tao Zhen thought about it and asked, "How much is that?"

The woman said: "As long as your veil looks like this, I'll give you a few designs. I'll give you five first. Once they're embroidered, come over and settle the bill. If they're damaged, you'll have to pay double the amount, ten cents each."

Tao Zhen hesitated for a moment. She knew that ten cents was very little, just enough to buy a few steamed buns and a few kilograms of rice. Moreover, Mrs. Pei's embroidery was double-sided, so it must be worth a lot of money in the capital. But now is not the capital, they Not even ordinary people anymore.

Pei Zhan worked so hard that he only had thirty pennies a day. Looking at it this way, ten pennies was a lot.

"Okay, give it a try with five handkerchiefs first, but it shouldn't be too complicated. If it's particularly difficult, you'll have to pay extra."

The woman sneered: "You damn girl, you won't suffer any loss."

She took a few handkerchiefs and some embroidery thread from the counter and said: "If you break it, you will pay double the bill. Don't try to default on the bill. I know where you are."

Tao Zhen thought to himself, no wonder the people in Ningzhou are said to be tough and tough. Look at this landlady, she looks like she wants to eat people.

The two reported their families to each other, and Tao Zhen found out that the person in front of her was called Yun Sanniang. She also took the time to think about it, and it turned out that people named Sanniang and Erniang were not easy to deal with.

After leaving the silk and satin shop, Tao Zhen wandered around the city to see where things were sold. When passing by a bookstore, Tao Zhen stopped and hesitated for a moment before walking in...

It was already noon when Tao Zhen came out of the bookstore. She found a relatively large pawn shop and pawned the earrings given by Mrs. Pei, as well as several pieces of jewelry that the original owner had secretly hidden. Maybe something happened on the road. Several pieces of jewelry were broken, and there was a chain among them. He must have been torn off some jewelry in a hurry.

After exchanging some broken silver, Tao Zhen counted it and found that there wasn't much. It was still far from what she thought.

Tao Zhen sighed. She was unwilling to sell the bracelet unless she had to, but if she was really at the end of her rope, she would still have to sell it.

Just keep it for now...
