Liu Yuan and Wang Qi had already asked the villagers about the specific location of the Xiao Family, and they were on their way.
Su Qingyue followed behind them, annoyed. She thought about the worthless waiters from Sun’s Rice Shop that Shopkeeper Sun sent; he should’ve sent a couple with sweet mouths who could praise an ugly woman as a heavenly beauty.
Seeing her unhappy expression, Wang Cuihua said with concern, “Qingyue, don’t take it to heart. You are much better now than before. Back then, people would avoid you when they saw you. Now, even if you’re not pretty, you are clean and tidy, and no one finds you smelly anymore.”
“That’s true.” Su Qingyue nodded after hearing that, “We should take life step by step and not set high demands.”
More than a dozen curious villagers who came to watch the excitement couldn’t help but discuss. Wang Qigu asked, “Wife of the Xiao Family, I just asked the two delivery guys, and they said that you bought all the food like rice, and flour. That’s a lot of money.”
“Yes.” Seeing the two donkey carts loaded with rice heading to her house, Qingyue’s footsteps were very light, “That’s a lot, and even if the people in my family have big appetites, it’s enough for half a year.”
“Wife of the Xiao Family, you spent over ten taels yesterday. How do you still have so much money to buy things today?” Wang Qigu was quite surprised.
“That’s right.” Qian Zhang, who also came to watch the excitement, looked at the two donkey carts of food with jealousy, her eyes turning red.
Su Qingyue saw the curious villagers were following like they wanted to ask her everything, and she simply said, “Let me just tell you the truth. I sold my stir-fried fern recipe for fifty taels. I bought these foods yesterday, and I’ve spent most of the money, including what I bought yesterday.”
“Oh my goodness!” Qian Zhang slapped her thigh and screamed, “How did you sell it for so much money! This is really making a fortune!”
All the villagers were astounded that a single recipe sold for fifty taels.
Even wealthy household Li Gui was astonished.
He guessed that she might have sold it for twenty or thirty taels, but never imagined it was fifty taels.
Wushan Village was remote, with few people from the town coming in. Even when they did, there had never been two donkey carts. That’s why everyone rushed over to watch the excitement.
Among them was the Old Lady of Zhu Family.
Upon hearing the sky-high price of fifty taels, she couldn’t help but feel black in front of her eyes when she thought of only getting sixteen taels for selling Su Qingyue.
Such a huge loss! Such a huge loss!
She was so angry that she almost fainted on the spot.
Of course, the gossip-loving Wang Qigu was overjoyed. She had just fought with the Old Lady of Zhu family yesterday, and both had suffered scratches and bruises without deciding a winner. Wang Qigu had a grudge against the Old Lady of Zhu Family, “Oh oh oh! Xiao’s family is getting rich, and Zhu’s family bought a treasure like Su Qingyue at a cheap price! Oh, my heavens, fifty taels! Even an ugly woman like that could buy two to bring home. Zhu’s family has lost a lot of blood now!”
The Old Lady of Zhu Family, exasperated and heartbroken, retorted, “Whether my family loses or not, what’s it to you? Go where it’s cooler!”
“I’m just laughing.” Wang Qigu laughed with her loud and thick woman’s voice, making the tree branches tremble, “I really haven’t heard more satisfying news.”
As she watched Su Qingyue follow the two donkey carts away.
She also went to the Xiao Family’s house to watch the excitement, “I want to see what kind of quality rice and food Su Qingyue bought. Let me see if the food bought from the town is better than the crops planted by our farmers..”
