Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around
Chapter 42 It feels so good to spend money like water
Liu Siyue smiled slightly, "Of course, I was just asking casually. I don't know if I'll have the luck in the future, after all, such treasures are not something you can come across all the time."
Shopkeeper Wang, didn't you say you had a surprise for me? Now you can tell me."
Doctor Li smiled broadly, "Lady Liu's prescription is indeed effective. Now the magistrate's wife and young lady are not in as much pain, and the rash on their bodies is gradually fading away."
"I told you that the magistrate, his wife, and his daughter wish to see you."
"Manager Wang, Doctor Li, when I gave out the prescription, I didn't expect any reward. It's better not to meet. If that's the case, then let's leave it at that. We're far away, so let's go back first."
Oh, by the way, I picked some wild berries on the mountain, and I thought they were quite delicious, so I brought some back for you to try.
Since they were not going to meet, they didn't force it. They admired the peasant woman from the bottom of their hearts. She had such a good opportunity to curry favor with the magistrate, but she refused. This showed that she was of noble character. If this had happened to an ordinary person, they probably would have already climbed up to him. It would be a fool not to take such a good backer. But there are such people. What can be said about her?
Liu Siyue was indeed very grateful to them. She took out five large, red apples from her spatial storage and placed them on the table. Manager Wang and Doctor Li's eyes widened again. "These are red apples! How can they be so big? They're even better than the tribute apples!"
Liu Siyue then learned that apples were called "linqin" here. The two of them each took one and started eating. The skin was thin, crisp, sweet, and juicy, much better than anything they had ever eaten before.
"Lady Liu, if you ever have such good crabapples again, we'll take as many as you have, and we'll definitely not let you down."
"It depends on luck; I don't know if I'll ever run into one again."
When Liu Siyue came out of the house, she saw her second uncle sitting at the stone table waiting for her. There was tea on the table, and she was quite happy. Dewey was quite perceptive.
Liu Dawang quickly handed the silver to Siyue, saying, "Siyue, take this silver. Your second uncle is feeling uneasy holding so much money."
"Okay, then I'll take it."
Liu Dawang gave the silver to Liu Siyue, feeling as if a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He had never seen so much silver before, and it felt incredibly hot in his hands.
"Second Uncle, drive the oxcart to the front gate, I'll wait for you there."
Liu Dawang went to drive the oxcart, and Liu Siyue quickly went to the pharmacy in front, took two apples, and gave one to Du Wei and the apprentice. The two were happy and thanked him repeatedly.
"Dewey, Baiju, if I can't come in the future, I'll have my second uncle come instead. Please remember him."
"Don't worry, Madam Liu, Uncle Liu is here. I promise to treat him well."
Liu Siyue said goodbye to them and followed Liu Dawang into the street. "Second Uncle, let's buy more grain to take back, and some cloth and cotton for the family. The weather is getting colder, and we need to buy some winter clothes for the family."
The oxcart couldn't go any further. Tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the streets were unusually crowded today. Liu Siyue was delighted. She had been wondering how to get her second uncle away, and now the opportunity had come. "Second Uncle, the oxcart can't go any further. Drive the oxcart to the city gate and wait for me. I'll come as soon as I've bought what I need."
It was lunchtime, and Liu Siyue saw a steamed bun shop on the street and bought four meat buns for her second uncle. "Second uncle, take these four buns and eat them. This is your lunch."
"April, why are you wasting this money? I brought some flatbread, you can have this bun."
"Second Uncle, you've been working hard all morning. These biscuits are so dry, how can you eat them? I bought them for you, so please eat them, or I'll get angry."
Besides, I'm not hungry right now. I ate quite a few pastries and fruits at Huichuntang earlier. If I get hungry later, I can just buy something else to eat.
Liu Dawang's eyes stung a little. His niece had been so good to him, and he was determined to treat her well. His heart was filled with gratitude.
"April, be careful on your own."
We mustn't waste money; every little bit helps. This year's harvest is bad, and who knows what next year will bring.
"Understood, Second Uncle, I understand."
Liu Dawang put the buns into his basket, turned the oxcart around, and headed towards the city gate. Once there, he parked the oxcart and, while eating the soft buns, thought to himself that without the oxcart in April, he wouldn't be able to buy so many things, thus saving a lot of money.
Liu Siyue started her shopping spree. She went to the grain shop to ask about the prices, but left without buying anything. When she arrived at the fabric shop, she thought she should have her autumn clothes, winter clothes, and summer clothes made together, since she would have to buy them sooner or later. Buying more at once would save her some money.
She doesn't actually know how to bargain. She never bargained when buying clothes before. She always bought them from brand stores. When she saw others bargaining, she would listen and watch how they negotiated. She thought it was quite interesting to see them going back and forth like that.
The shop assistant greeted her, "I wonder if this young lady is buying fabric or ready-made clothing?"
"Buy fabric."
Liu Siyue told the shop assistant how many outfits she wanted to make and gave a rough estimate of the size. The shop assistant realized that this was a super big customer, and that she would be buying dozens of bolts of fabric. When she heard the price quoted by the shop assistant, she deliberately frowned and pondered.
Fearing she might find the price too high and not buy, the shop assistant immediately said, "Since you're buying so much, I'll give you a discount of 10 coins per bolt of cloth. I also have a batch of cloth with some minor dyeing flaws in my shop, which I can give you two bolts of. Although we can't sell them, they'll still be fine for working."
"Okay, but I can't carry all this fabric. Can you deliver it?"
"Where do you need to deliver, young lady? Delivery is free within the county. If you want to deliver to other places, you'll have to pay according to the distance."
"Just take me to the city gate; my car is parked there."
"Okay, no problem."
"I also bought some grain, and I'll have it delivered here as well. Could you help me deliver it?"
The shop assistant readily agreed. While he prepared the cloth, she went to fetch the grain.
She had only taken a few steps when she realized something was wrong. The food in her space was all packed in snakeskin bags, and she dared not take it out. She had to go to the general store to buy some bags first.
She went back and asked the shop assistant where there was a general store. The shop assistant told her that it wasn't far away; just turn left after leaving the store, and there would be a general store every seven or eight shops.
Liu Siyue quickly went to the general store and bought all the tightly packed burlap sacks in one go, more than 120 in total, as well as more than 20 flour sacks.
After paying and leaving the general store, he slipped into his spatial dimension in an alley not far from the cloth shop. He filled three sacks with rice, each weighing about 100 jin (50 catties), and another 100 jin (50 catties) of flour. After checking that no one was around, he quickly left the spatial dimension, walked to the entrance of the cloth shop, and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, quickly placed the grains outside the shop.
The shop assistant was worried that she might not come back, and he was uneasy. "Miss, you're back. The fabric is ready. This is the fabric you bought, this is the fabric that's free, and this big bag of fabric scraps is also free. Please count them."
If you need more fabric in the future, Zhiyun Fabric Shop welcomes you and guarantees you fair prices.
"Okay, I'll buy fabric from your store from now on."
Both sides had smiles on their faces, clearly very satisfied with the deal.
Liu Siyue didn't know what to do with the scraps of cloth, but she took them since they were given to her for free. She quickly counted them and, finding no problems, the shop assistant started calculating the bill in front of her.
"Miss, that's 36 taels and 8 mace of silver in total. This bolt of coarse cloth sells for 300 wen, but I'll shortchange you by 100 wen to round it up to 37 taels of silver."
Liu Siyue paid the money promptly and told the deliveryman to hurry up and load the truck to deliver the goods, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get back in time.
