Chapter 102: Chapter 102 Coercive Buying and Selling (2)_1

The young master had taken a fancy to Pei Qin’s handcart with wheels and insisted on taking it away.

Two servants, seeing his insistence, looked towards Pei Qin and put on airs, "This is our Third Young Master Wang, and the Wang family owns eighty percent of the grain shops in Runing Prefecture! Our Third Young Master has taken a liking to your wooden frame!"

Pei Qin raised an eyebrow, "You want it for free?"

"This is our Wang family’s Third Young Master!" one servant stressed.

Pei Qin gave them a dismissive look and continued to wait for Lady Fang.

Third Young Master Wang became furious, "Did you not hear what I said? Bring that to me!"

Pei Qin acted as if she hadn’t heard.

"Brother Ting!" a clear voice called out.

"Little Uncle!" Wang Ting’s demeanor suddenly softened somewhat, but he still persisted, "I want this thing with wheels that she’s pulling!"

In a flash, two taels of silver were presented before Pei Qin.

"Not for sale!" Pei Qin refused.

Two taels turned into five.

"I wouldn’t sell it for ten taels either! It’s not for sale!" Pei Qin glanced at the person who had offered a generous amount of silver.

A young man around eighteen or nineteen years old, handsome and dressed in cotton silk with discreet patterns, his complexion fair and lips red, carried an air of cynicism and arrogance in his brows. A complete pretty boy! Pei Qin indifferently withdrew her gaze.

Zhang Yan saw the way she sized him up, clearly with dissatisfaction, he frowned slightly and looked at the handcart she was holding. He had never seen it before, but it was nothing special to him. Seeing his little nephew still insisting, he asked again, "Miss, how much silver would it take for you to sell it?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Qin grew somewhat angry, turned around to assess him, "Have you bought so many things that you automatically open your mouth and ask this?" You’re the one who’s for sale! Your whole family is for sale!

Zhang Yan, taken aback by her retort and aware that his words could be misconstrued, smiled and said, "Miss, you misunderstood, I was asking about the thing you are pulling."

"It’s not for sale! No amount of money will do!" Pei Qin’s words had just dropped.

Si Ya and Lady Fang came out from the bridal shop.

Seeing that a distinguished young man wanted to buy the handcart and had offered several taels of silver, yet Pei Qin still didn’t want to sell, Si Ya hurriedly came forward to stop her, "Big sister! Why not sell? It’s quite a few taels of silver! It’s just a handcart..."

"Shut up!" Pei Qin could tolerate her being miserly and meddling with steward duties, but she wouldn’t allow her to spoil things. Seeing she was about to speak again, Pei Qin shot her a fierce look, "What the hell do you know!" The handcarts and shopping carts that Wang Tiezhu made hadn’t been stocked with goods yet; if someone copied them, how the hell would he make any money!

"Still not selling, even for ten taels of silver!?" Si Ya couldn’t understand; they had worked hard for many days to earn ten taels, which they had spent haphazardly, hardly leaving anything left. For such a shabby handcart, ten taels of silver would be enough for them to eat until next year’s wheat harvest!

Wang Ting still insisted on having the handcart.

When the servant saw she wouldn’t sell even for ten taels of silver, he threw the silver to Si Ya and came forward to snatch Pei Qin’s handcart, "A broken wooden frame, and ten taels of silver, you’re trying to swindle! Give it here!"

He thought it would be easy to grab.

Pei Qin, a frequent brawler, reacted quickly. As soon as he reached for the handcart to snatch it, she raised her leg high and tripped the servant to the ground, then kicked him away with force.

Completely unprepared for a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl to have such skills, the servant screamed in pain and crashed to the ground.

"I already said it’s not for sale, and still you force the issue! Are you nuts!" Pei Qin tidied up the hemp bags on the handcart with meat and bones, turned her head to what seemed to be a frightened Lady Fang, "The silk threads are bought, let’s go!"

"Stop!"
