Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Shooting Oneself in The Foot_1

"Running away?"

Su Pan’er raised her eyebrows: "Frankly speaking, I do everything above board, why would I run away? Unlike some people, who put on a facade of decency, but are full of lowly thoughts!"

"If you’re not running away, what are you doing right now?" Su Xian’er sneered.

"What does it matter to you even if the lady boss of the textile shop doesn’t say anything? Are you some kind of hot shot?"

Su Pan’er turned to the lady boss of the textile shop and said, "Lady boss, my pig scared a customer before and caused him to knock down your screen. As the pig’s owner, I should bear some responsibility. So, how much do I need to compensate you?"

As she spoke, she gently kicked the Bama pig with her foot.

The Bama pig wagged its tail and blinked its starry eyes, looking particularly silly and adorable.

The lady boss of the textile shop was originally full of smiles as she saw off the customers. She wished for them to leave as soon as possible.

But when Su Pan’er called her out, she was momentarily befuddled.

Before she could speak, Su Yue’er coughed lightly and glanced at her.

The lady boss seemed to grasp her meaning right away, then slapped her thigh, squinting her eyes with joy, "So, you are second Miss Su’s cousin! The screen is just a petty thing, it doesn’t matter. Let’s forget about it. Please do patronize my shop afterwards!"

Su Yue’er felt her lungs were about to explode, since when did this become the case?

She had initially hoped that the lady boss would settle accounts with Su Pan’er, making her suffer a huge loss. But unexpectedly, the lady boss misunderstood, and spared Su Pan’er because of her!

The lady boss noticed her look of annoyance and a trace of contempt and satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

It was clear to her that these two cousins were not getting along!

The one was the daughter of Deputy County Magistrate Su, and while the other was ugly and dark skinned, her husband was close with Inspector Liu. Naturally, she didn’t want to offend either of them.

Hence, she pretended to misunderstand, letting Su Yue’er suffer in silence. She felt satisfied and delighted inside!

After all, if there was a real issue, she, being a small business owner, would steer clear of it rather than attracting attention.

Su Pan’er looked surprisedly at the lady boss, and then at Su Yue’er. Seeing the latter’s suddenly overcast face, she burst into laughter joyously!

"Since this is the case, thank you Lady Boss for your kindness!"

"Oh dear, you are too modest."

The lady boss was squinting her eyes from excessive laughter: "You should visit us often, so you can bring good luck to our store! Your husband is so talented and eloquent. He is sure to pass the imperial examination and illuminate his ancestors in the future. When that time comes, please remember to take good care of our little shop!"

Su Pan’er glanced at Su Yue’er with a half-smile: "Certainly, certainly!"

Seeing the shopkeeper’s flattering attitude towards Su Pan’er and Qin Yi’s spirited look, Su Yue’er was filled with resentment, regret, and jealousy!

She was angry that the lady boss couldn’t read the situation; regretted letting go of Qin Yi so easily and missing such a good husband; and was envious that Su Pan’er had all the good fortune, turning every bad occurrence into something beneficial.

With mixed feelings, she stood in a daze, staring hard at Qin Yi and Su Pan’er without speaking.

Qin Yi watched the farce before him with an indifferent expression, and sneered.

"Pan’er, our sister-in-law is still waiting for us, we should go."

"Let’s go!"

Su Pan’er’s hearty laughter echoed unabashedly: "Some people always shoot themselves in the foot. Oh dear... Let’s go!"

The lady boss had a beaming smile, " Take care, madam... "

Seeing Su Pan’er being treated with so much enthusiasm by the shopkeeper, and preparing to leave with a smile, Su Yue’er felt increasingly annoyed, not knowing what to do.

Her eyes casually landed on Su He’er, who was holding a wrapped bundle, containing the clothes that had been damaged by the small Bama pig, and an idea occurred to her.

Hastily, she reached out and tugged at Su He’er’s sleeve, giving a small cough.

Su He’er was at a loss for how to react. Seeing this, Su Yue’er’s irritation grew even more.

Su Xian’er glanced at her, then turned her attention to the bundle in Su He’er’s hand, and immediately understood. She shouted loudly, "Su Pan’er, do you think you can just walk away like this?"

Thank God! At least one of them had the wit to speak, which alleviated some of Su Yue’er’s frustration.

Shouting again?

Will this ever end?

Su Pan’er turned around, clearly annoyed, "Spit it out! You can afford to sit around, comfortably doing nothing at home. I have endless tasks to attend to and no time for your idle chatter."

Su Xian’er replied indignantly, "Enough of your nonsense! Your pig tore Second Cousin’s clothes, and you think you can just leave? How wishful thinking!"

"Is it just about a ruined piece of clothing, how much is that worth? Tell me! I’ll treat it like giving alms to a beggar."

"Ruined clothes? Hmm, even if you were sold, you wouldn’t be able to afford the compensation!"

At this, Su Xian’er sneered, and words came tumbling out, "This is a Shu Kingdom embroidered silk made from four strands of spun chiffon, worth ten taels of silver per bolt. With the labor cost and other miscellaneous expenses, you owe a total of twelve taels of silver before you can walk away!"

"Twelve taels of silver! You’re certainly daydreaming!"

"Just one bolt of fabric for one piece of clothing? Are you dressing a human or a ghost?" retorted Su Pan’er, refusing to argue with her and turning to leave.

What a joke!

She was penniless, and they were asking her for twelve taels of silver. Clearly, they had gone mad with greed.

"You... Even if you don’t need a whole bolt of fabric and deduct four portions, you still owe three taels of silver! Don’t even think about getting away without paying. If you dare to walk away without settling this, I’ll spread the news that Scholar Qin of Luoyan Village breaks things and doesn’t pay, and even curses people. Let’s see who loses disgrace."

A victorious smirk spread across Su Xian’er’s face.

Su He’er chimed in, "Exactly! You were just jealous of Second Cousin’s beautiful dress that you can’t afford and deliberately ruined it, didn’t you? You think it’s still like when we were kids, when you insist on taking the Man Tuo Fragrant Flower that Second Cousin had, no matter what. Hmph! Now your mother isn’t here, and there’s no one to back you up!"

Man Tuo Fragrant Flower?

Mention of this made Su Pan’er’s eyes grow darker!

Very good! She hadn’t even sought them out to settle the score, but they were the ones to bring it up first! But this was not the place to discuss it.

"Three taels of silver? No problem! That will not bother you."

Su Pan’er thought for a moment, rummaged through her basket backpack, and pulled out three Huangjing, "These few Huangjing are worth over three taels of silver, take them. Stop making a fuss, I don’t have time to play these games with you!"

Su Xian’er took the Huangjing and glanced at Su Yue’er questioningly.

At Su Yue’er’s return glance, she spoke up immediately.

"We are not medicine sellers, what are we going to do with your lousy herbs? And just because you say it’s worth over three taels, it is? If you don’t have money, then admit it, don’t play the big shot!"
