Could it be that if the other party didn't take the initiative to ask, he wasn't going to ask? When dealing with merchants, where could one get rid of them?
It seemed that his trip back here was absolutely true. If she wasn't there, he would definitely suffer a great loss.
Thinking of this, Qu Shufen cleared her throat and reminded him:
"It's not easy to raise a daughter after eating and drinking for the past ten years.
Even though Green Bamboo was young, it had great abilities! In this house, outside the house, in the fields, it didn't matter if you cooked, chopped firewood, washed clothes, or planted seedlings to fertilize the rice and graze the bracts, you could do whatever you wanted. With her gone, my family has lost an important labour force.
Besides, there was a kid at home. In a few years, the two of them would be married, and the marriage would be arranged. The two of us are still hoping to marry our son into a beautiful daughter-in-law with the money of the green bamboo betrothal gift! After raising it for half the day, it was taken away by someone, and the wedding gift was ruined as well.
Wouldn't it be a waste of time to feed her now?
I heard that Boss He seems to have promised to give me some compensation. Surely you haven't forgotten that, have you? I want to ask, how much can you actually give me? "
Green Bamboo blinked his eyes in surprise.
These were words of near approval that he had never heard from his aunt before. It was the first time she had ever known that she weighed so much in this house.
Sitting on the brick bed, Xu Zhu could not help but nod her head.
Just now, seeing her son and the guests chattering so much, she was so anxious that her heart almost burst out of her chest. If Qu Shufen had not spoken first, she would have asked this question.
"I can understand all that you've said. Don't worry, I have always kept my word. He would never go back on his promise. Since you all gave me such a good child, it's only right that you get compensation. "
He Zhaohui's eyelids drooped down as he admired the 'happiness' character on the cup. He then threw the question back, "As for how much you want to give me, tell me!"
Xu Zhu raised her chin and exchanged a glance with her son.
As expected of a businessman, his work skills were quite astute. If he did not say it himself, he would let his family name on the price first. If this was the case, he definitely wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
Actually, the two of them had already discussed this point.
I want a little more, according to Pearl. Qiu Hai didn't agree to it at all. He just insisted on paying the debt. Because of this, the two of them argued for a long time.
This time, Xu Zhu did not pinch her son. The result of the discussion between the two ladies was two thousand yuan.
If the other party thought it was too much, he could get a bit less. After he got half of it, he could then think of another way to get the rest. If he was only willing to pay a few hundred dollars, not even half of it, then that would be fine.
Qiu Hai put the teacup to his lips and took a big gulp of hot tea. He was prepared to announce the number of two thousand as agreed upon beforehand.
In the end, before he could even open his mouth, Qu Shufen brushed against the edge of the brick bed and stood up.
"Since Boss He told us to say so, then I won't be polite." A fixed price of four thousand yuan, what do you think? "
What she knew best about Qiu Hai's temper was that he was a fool. If he were to open his mouth, he would definitely not be able to get anything out of it. That was why she spoke first.
Actually, she was completely unsure if Boss He would agree. However, Qu Shufen only had one principle in regards to this' sale '— she would rather run away than lose it.
If she was lucky enough to succeed, it would be equivalent to dropping a filling cake. She deserved to make a windfall; even if she failed, it wouldn't be a big deal. At most, he could just let her husband think of another way out! He would not suffer any loss if he walked away on his own.
After Qu Shufen finished speaking, no one else in the room spoke. The few of them had different expressions on their faces, each of them harboring their own thoughts.
Four thousand dollars? Was she that valuable?
Green Bamboo's eyes were filled with confusion. He only knew that this amount of money was quite a lot. However, she had no idea how much there was.
Having grown up like this, the maximum denomination of the notes she'd touched was ten dollars.
Once, my aunt asked for a good lipstick from the city and sent her the money.
Four thousand yuan, if it was all for lipstick, he could buy a sack of it!
At the same time, Qiu Hai gasped. He really wanted to pounce over and sew his wife's mouth shut.
He was very dissatisfied with Qu Shufen's casual interruptions and decision to price the bamboo on her own.
This old lady must be out of her mind, right? Four thousand in Stone Village was enough to build two new houses.
In the past, there were also examples of poor people who could not afford to raise too many children, and who adopted one of them to their relatives. In this case, some money would indeed be added. However, he had never seen anyone asking for so much.
Others did not know the details of the bamboo, but he knew it the best.
This child was not from the Qiu Family. He wasn't related by blood at all, he was just a child of his parents.
Qingzhu's biological parents had unknowingly left their flesh and blood and carried away his niece. After discovering that the baby was ill, he was sure to spend money on her treatment. It was only natural for the Qiu family to raise their daughter.
His niece's illness had not been cured, so he did not owe it to her family.
It was because he didn't want to bet anymore that he agreed to pass on the green bamboo to someone else. If he could repay the debt, he should have snickered.
She was asking for so much at once. What difference was there between this and selling off his daughter?
If the other party didn't agree, then they would be disgraced. If they really did agree, then when the green bamboo passed, they would definitely be looked down upon.
There was a huge difference in treatment between the ones who accepted and the ones who bought them. Just think about it, who would care about a girl that was bought for four thousand yuan? Wouldn't that be beating, scolding, and ordering around? Wouldn't they be treated like a human?
On the other hand, Xu Zhu was abnormally calm. In all honesty, she also felt that her daughter-in-law was being too hard on him, so he might not agree.
However, things were done by human means. As the old saying goes, if you push yourself to death, you'll die; if you starve to death, you'll die; if you don't, you'll die; if you starve to death, you'll become a coward. It was hard to tell what the result would be.
Because of this consideration, she didn't say a single word and decided to wait and see. After hearing Boss He's answer, he would then discuss the next step.
He Zhaohui, who was sitting upright on the stool, did not immediately express his opinion regarding the woman's offer. His eyelids were still lowered as he stared thoughtfully at the few pieces of rotating tea in the cup.
It seemed to be weighing and weighing the pros and cons.
Seeing this, Qu Shufen could no longer hold herself back. She licked her lips and decided to use a move to provoke him.
"Aiya, don't think that it's too expensive. One had to know that good things were not cheap, but good things were not. Our family's green bamboo is worth this price.
She may look inconspicuous, but she can't stand being nice and capable, she's likeable! Yesterday, there was a rich guy who had fallen for her and insisted on bringing her back to be a child bride! He had said that he was willing to offer four thousand as a betrothal gift. We were hesitating about which one to choose! If you don't want to, we'll agree to that. "
Hearing this, Qiu Hai couldn't help but frown. This woman was simply spouting nonsense. The more she spoke, the more outrageous her words became.
Letting Qingzhu be his daughter-in-law was indeed something. However, Shen San'er's original statement was that he could pay the debt of two thousand yuan. Since when did he have to pay the debt of four thousand yuan?
"You …" He really couldn't hold it in anymore. Just as he wanted to reprimand his wife, he saw his mother and his wife glaring at him at the same time.
It meant warning him not to speak carelessly.
It seemed that his trip back here was absolutely true. If she wasn't there, he would definitely suffer a great loss.
Thinking of this, Qu Shufen cleared her throat and reminded him:
