Chapter 646: Find a Rope
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong raised her voice. Shopkeeper Pan’s expression changed when he heard that. The customers who were about to stop in front of his stall hurried to look at the next stall.
Shopkeeper Pan was trembling with anger. He suddenly turned his head and glared at Gu Yundong fiercely. “Do you know how to speak? If you don’t want to buy it, then don’t. Who asked you to spout nonsense and slander my flowers? You caused me such a huge loss. You have to compensate me with silver. Otherwise, I won’t let you leave today.”
He saw that Gu Yundong was a young girl with a heartless servant behind her. She seemed to be easy to bully.
Moreover, because of the renovation of the shop, Gu Yundong was dressed simply. It was obvious that she was not a young lady from a powerful family. Young ladies from wealthy families would not come here to buy flowers. Therefore, it should not be a problem to extort a few taels of silver.
The flower seller panicked when she heard that. “You, how can you do this? This sister didn’t do anything wrong. Why should she compensate you with silver?”
“It’s between her and me now. It’s not your place to interrupt. Get lost.”
Shopkeeper Pan glared at the young lady, then looked up at Gu Yundong provocatively.
Gu Yundong smiled and said to Tong Shuitao, who was behind her, “Go find a rope.”
Tong Shuitao responded and ran away without saying a word.
Shopkeeper Pan did not understand, but it did not matter. He just had to keep an eye on Gu Yundong and not let her leave.
But Gu Yundong ignored him and continued talking to the young lady and her daughter. “How much are these flowers? I want to buy them all.”
“All, all of them?” The little girl was very surprised. Could it be that she had met a big client today?
“Miss, if you buy them all, I, we can give you a discount,” the mother hurriedly said. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, she did not have to keep her daughter under the sun on such a hot day.
“Yes, calculate how much it will cost,” Gu Yundong said.
Shopkeeper Pan was instantly dissatisfied. “Stupid girl, did you hear me? You chased my guest away just now. Don’t even think about leaving if you don’t pay.”
Gu Yundong glanced at him and continued to talk to the mother and daughter. “Little sister, do you know how to plant flowers?”
The young lady was probably around ten years old. She looked obedient, but her love for flowers was exceptionally beautiful.
She pursed her small lips and nodded slightly.
Her mother said, “She does know a little. Her father used to be a gardener. Later, he fell down the hill while picking flowers, so his legs are no longer nimble. Therefore, he could only plant some flowers at home to sell. She has been by her father’s side since she was young and likes them very much. She knows a lot. Miss, if you don’t know how to raise flowers, feel free to ask.”
Gu Yundong really did not know much about raising flowers. In the past, she did not have the leisure to do so. Now… she did not either.
She didn’t know if Madam Yang could do it. Even if she liked flowers, she might not know how to take care of them.
“Damn it, you actually don’t take me seriously.” Shopkeeper Pan was furious. His face was livid from their disregard. He raised his foot and kicked the pots of flowers.
The young lady and her daughter’s expressions changed drastically, but Gu Yundong quickly kicked his ankle.
Shopkeeper Pan immediately took two steps back. He failed to kick down the potted plant and fell to the ground.
Before she could finish speaking, Tong Shuitao ran over. “Miss, the rope is here.”
Gu Yundong looked at the length and nodded in satisfaction. Then, she smiled and looked at Shopkeeper Pan..
