Beauty is too weak to be bullied

Chapter 13 Selling Books to Pay Off Debts (Rewards for Rui Yu)
Fearing that the Xiao family would retaliate again, Mrs. Du told the whole family not to go out unless necessary, so as not to give the Xiao family an opportunity.

However, if you want to make a living, you have to go out.

The next day, when Lao Yutou went to deliver goods to the garment shop, he was pushed to the ground on the way, and his head was bleeding.

After waking up, the whole family lost all the goods made during the night watch.

When I asked the people around, they said that they were scattered on the ground and were looted by a group of people.

It's useless to report to Wuhou shop, after all, there are too many people robbing things, and it's hard to find, and there's no evidence that the Xiao family did it.

Clothes shops lost their goods and missed the deadline, so they had to ask for compensation.

Mrs. Yang talked about it, and the clothing store agreed to allow his family to pay compensation in half a month for the sake of long-term cooperation.

As a result, not to mention the loss of the livelihood that he depended on, on the contrary, he has an additional debt of two thousand Wen.

Old Yu's head injury couldn't be ignored, and the old servant who depended on each other, Mrs. Yang couldn't do the cruel thing of covering it with a handful of incense ash and leaving him alone, so he took the remaining money to buy medicine.

After a lot of tossing, there was no more money in the family, and Yang was full of hatred and worry, her mouth was full of blisters, she couldn't eat and sleep well, and when she got up early to comb her hair, a lot of hair fell out.

Du Qingtan was abnormally silent, only grinding and sharpening the scissors used for tailoring clothes repeatedly.

In addition, sleep, eat, play with five animals, and occasionally chat with family members about people and things in the past, grasp the situation as much as possible, and look for opportunities to save yourself.

After inquiring that the twelfth uncle was taking a rest today, Mrs. Yang took Tuantuan with her, ready to go directly to the door and drag him to Duling.

"Tuantuan is a male from the Du family. I'll take him to the clan elders to have a look. Maybe I can soften my heart."

Yang told Du Qingtan: "When you are at home, you must close the door tightly, be on guard at all times, and shout if there is any movement. The neighbors are enthusiastic and will not ignore it."

Yang's front foot went out, and Du Qingtan's back foot ordered Cailan: "Go out with me."

Cai Lan was confused: "Which way out?"

"Grasp the medicine." Du Qingtan took it for granted, changed into an older and shorter clothes, and put on a drapery hat.

Cailan was shocked and said, "Isn't the medicine finished yet? We don't have money either."

"Just follow me."

Du Qingtan picked up a small bag and walked out first.

"Where is Wu Niang going?" Old Yutou struggled to get up and block the way.

In just two days, his energy and energy were completely broken, and his heart was full of self-blame, wishing he could just die.

"Sell books for money in case of emergency." Du Qingtan directly showed the small bundle in his hand.

"Dead things are not important to anyone, so don't persuade me unless you want to be starved to death."

Old Yutou hesitated for a moment, and said, "This old slave will go with you."

"No need." Du Qingtan said seriously: "You stay at home and recuperate well, our family cannot live without you."

The only adult man, although physically flawed, is an indispensable existence.

Old Yu's head was red and his eyes were red, but he tried not to cry.

Du Qingtan calmed down: "Uncle Yu, it's not an option to go on like this. I need to find a reliable person to watch over Xiao's house. You go out every day, do you have a suitable person to recommend?"

Old Yutou thought for a while and said: "When the lord was alive, he often asked a man named Zhu Dalang to help him run errands.

This person wandered around in the city, donating righteousness and donating money, and was quite famous as a chivalrous man.After the lord passed away, because our orphans and widows wanted to avoid suspicion, we gradually stopped communicating with each other. "

With that in mind, Du Qingtan took Cailan out the door.

For the sake of safety, she spent a lot of money to hire an ox cart. Cailan was so distressed that she couldn't help but pull her aside and whispered: "Wu Niang, it's too expensive, and we don't have the money to pay..."

"I have my own opinion." Du Qingtan got into the car directly.

Not long after arriving at the bookstore, Du Qingtan entered the store with a small bag, and without speaking, he went for a walk first, asked the prices of various books, and then went to another store.

After visiting three or four stores in a row, she chose the one with the best business, and asked the owner, "Do you accept books here?"

The owner of the store saw that she was dressed in old but neat clothes, wearing a drapery hat, followed by a maidservant in shabby clothes, so he knew that she was from a declining family.

This kind of family often has precious and rare books in their possession. The family members are ignorant of the world and are ashamed of selling books. They usually sell them at a low price, and they can make a lot of money by reselling them.

The shopkeeper deliberately said with a cold face: "No charge!"

Press it, wait for the other party to ask, and the business will be half done.

"Excuse me." Du Qingtan just nodded lightly, and turned to go out without hesitation.

Counting silently to four, the shopkeeper has already raised his voice and shouted: "Little lady, seeing your embarrassment, I want to give you a hand. What books do you want to sell?"

Then, everyone in the shop raised their eyes and looked over.

This move is also pressure, bullying the aristocratic family has a thin skin.

When most people encounter this situation, they sell the book in a hurry and leave quickly.

They are unwilling to bargain more, or go to two more shops, because it is too embarrassing for them.

As for the bookstore, the book buyers will be more convinced of the preciousness of this book when they see it with their own eyes.

As the saying goes, kill two birds with one stone, the secret of business.

Sure enough, Cai Lan immediately stepped forward to block Du Qingtan behind her, fearing that she would be recognized.

Looking at the situation, the shopkeeper twirled his beard and smiled triumphantly.

Du Qingtan seemed to have never heard of it, and went to another bookstore with his head held high.

"Oh! Don't go, little lady!"

The shopkeeper saw it clearly, fearing that the business would fail, he hurriedly chased him out: "The price is negotiable! What kind of book is it?"

Du Qingtan lifted the baggage: ""Punishment and Virtue"."

The shopkeeper's sharp eyes immediately saw that the appearance of the book was perfect, and he was very tempted, so he only derogatoryly said: "Book of war, no one buys it."

"Heh... no one wants the book of war? I'm from the previous dynasty!" Du Qingtan turned and left.

When she doesn't understand current affairs?Randomly pick a book to sell?
The Khitan invaded, and the border was full of wars. Scholars wanted to leave the sage books and rush to fight the enemy with swords. There is no market for military books?joke!

At this time, several scholars had already gathered around.

The shop owner saw that his method was useless, so he immediately changed his color, bowed and saluted: "Please also invite the young lady to come in and talk in detail."

A quarter of an hour later, Du Qingtan walked out contentedly with his hands behind his back, and Cai Lan behind him was carrying a heavy money bag with an extremely complicated expression.

Such a set of books can be exchanged for 600 yuan, which is enough to buy more than [-] buckets of rice!Enough for the whole family to eat for a long time.

Now she is very afraid of being robbed of the money, so her teeth are chattering nervously, and everyone looks like a thief.
