Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Can You Compare with Her?_1
Everyone in the Qin Family watched with cold eyes, without uttering a word.
Qin Yi stood at the original spot, still unable to regain his senses from Mrs. Qin-Li pulling out the silver taels just now.
A small sneer curled on the corner of Su Pan’er’s mouth, indeed a case of no tears until the coffin is in sight!
Overlord Tiger, holding the silver taels, waddled over to Lui Muyi, raising his hand for him to see, "Young master, look! It’s real silver, a whole forty-five taels. I could not have guessed that this old geezer has so much silver with her. Who knows how much more she has hidden? Hehe..."
Mrs. Qin-Li was taken aback! Hearing his words, she hastily waved her arms back and forth, frantically denying it.
"There’s no more, really no more! This is all my retirement money, my coffin funds! Now it’s all gone, how am I to live as an old woman! Woo woo..."
She pounded the ground repeatedly with her hands, crying bitterly.
"You must have more, or why would you so readily produce forty-five taels of silver!"
Overlord Tiger continued to goad her.
Listening to all this made Qin Yi frown. Although his mother wasn’t behaving properly, she was still his mother. He wanted to speak up but was afraid of inciting the other party’s resentment, which might worsen the situation.
Unable to resist, he tugged softly on Su Pan’er’s sleeve.
Seeing his anxious look, Su Pan’er frowned lightly and coughed softly, "Young Master Lui, there’s a saying that goes ’leave a line in everything, and we shall meet again later.’ The goal of your visit here is silver. Now that you have the silver in hand, there’s no reason to cause the loss of life. Don’t you think so?"
Lui Muyi glanced at her, pushing Overlord Tiger away, "We are all here for business, and naturally, businessmen aim for money. However, a gentleman loves money and is rightly so. Let’s consider this matter over, time for us to leave!"
He pressed his hand against his forehead, obviously feeling the alcohol effects very strongly.
"Yes, yes, yes, time to go home! Young Master Lui, have a good trip, beware of the stairs."
Overlord Tiger had a flattering smile on his face, talking non-stop around Lui Muyi, behaving exactly like a sycophant.
Finally, they were leaving. The Qin family collectively breathed a sigh of relief!
Even Old Man Qin showed a small smile. But when he thought of the forty-five taels of silver that were lost, his smile twisted into a face of sorrow.
Young Master Lv strode out, but he couldn’t help but stop when passing by Su Pan’er.
The Qin family was terribly frightened by this!
Could it be another unexpected development?
Young Master Lv ignored the others, but instead approached Su Pan’er and suddenly smiled.
"Pretty amazing! A hearty character but more delicate than anyone else! A girl like you is truly a heroic woman! This young master likes you. How about this? If you come to the Market Fair next time, this young master will definitely play host and treat you to a meal. Shall we compete in drinking again, how about it?"
"When Young Master Lui is the host, I, Su Pan’er, definitely can not refuse!"
Su Pan’er laughed, casually saluting with a fist, "Haha ... But, Young Master Lui, about the two conditions from our bet that you lost to me, well..."
"Rest assured, even if I forget everything else, I won’t forget about that."
Young Master Lv laughed heartily too. With his hands akimbo, he stood tall and upright, "I knew it, you would be the hardest to deal with. Tell me! State your demands, go ahead!"
"Young Master Lui, how candid you are! haha ... "
A hearty laughter erupted from Su Pan’er, "Actually, it’s very simple, Young Master Lui. This debt of fifteen taels of principal gold that we owe, which has now grown with interest into forty-five taels of silver, how about..."
"That’s easy to say, let’s write it off!"
Young Master Lui waved his hand dismissively, "Remember, you have already used one condition. You are owed one more chance to ask me for a condition, so make sure you don’t waste it!"
"Thank you, Young Master Lui for reminding me. I’ll remember that!"
Su Pan’er laughed!
This Young Master Lui is not someone to be trifled with!
Knowing that she will inevitably use one condition to write off the forty-five taels of silver, and then turns around and took it back from the old lady’s hand. He is still this tactful even when drunk, impressive!
Young Master Lui shook his head, "You absolutely won’t take the slightest disadvantage, do you? Everyone says Su Pan’er is a big fool, so stupid it’s fatal. I think those who say these things are the real fools, really claiming lives. Haha... Let’s go!"
Having said that, he left, laughing heartily.
The other workers followed closely behind.
Seeing all the people left, Old Uncle Hu smiled slyly, hurried over and started buttering up.
"Young Master Lv, young Master! Since she got her silver waived, do mine as well..."
He wanted to speak more, but was startled by Young Master Lv suddenly turning back!
He quickly halted his steps, "Young Master Lv..."
"You? You think you can compare to her?"
Lui Muyi looked him up and down, and a sniff of contempt oozed from his nose, "Don’t forget those forty-five taels of silver. By tomorrow nightfall, this young master wants to see the silver placed before me. Otherwise... Humph! Don’t blame me for being heartless!"
Having said that, he snorted loudly and left.
Old Uncle Hu stood dazed on the spot, as the workers walked in and out around him, pushing and shoving past him. It took a long time before he regained his senses.
"Young Master Lv, young Master..."
When he finally came back to his senses, the surroundings were bleak and desolate, with not a single trace of Young Master Lv or his attendants.
Seeing that the matter had concluded, Su Pan’er burped with a flick of her head, swaying as she turned to head home.
She’d only taken a few steps when Mrs. Qin-Li’s earth-shaking curses were heard from behind.
"My god! What are you doing forcing me to the brink of death, my coffin funds are all gone, what am I supposed to do to live on... it’d be better if I just died... Stop! Stop."
Was Su Pan’er going to let her continue her tirade? She promptly exited the front door.
Mrs. Qin-Li panicked, that was forty-five taels of silver! How could she let her get away like this?
No way!
She grabbed Su Pan’er, cursing loudly, "You damnable fool, that silver was supposed to be paid from your third room. Where’s the silver? Hand it over to me! Today, if you can’t give me a satisfactory answer, don’t even think of stepping through this door..."
Uh huh!
Did she take Su Pan’er for a weakling that can be easily crushed?
As Su Pan’er’s brow furrowed, preparing to retort, a figure suddenly rushed out from somewhere and brandished a slap, striking it on Mrs. Qin-Li’s face.
It knocked the wind out of Mrs. Qin-Li!
She halted, cupping her face, with an expression of disbelief, "Old man, you..."
"Out!"
Old Man Qin abruptly cut off her words, with fierce glaring eyes and a booming roar, "It’s all because of you, a family-runner like you. The long-established foundation of my Qin family was almost ruined by you! How am I to face my deceased parents? How am I to face our ancestors!"
Mrs. Qin-Li was moving her lips, but didn’t dare to utter a word.
Old Man Qin pointed at her and scolded, "If it wasn’t for the hard work of the third room, do you think you could stand here spouting nonsense? You should be counting your blessings but here you are acting out of spite, causing a scene, now go back to your room and reflect on your actions. Otherwise, I’ll divorce you on the spot, you old good-for-nothing!"
