Chapter 29 29Twenty taels of silver in exchange for green bricks
I saw piles of bluestone bricks falling in the yard, as if they had just been removed from somewhere.
Many have been cracked, and some only have half of them left.
Xing Rui did not walk further inside, but at this time, several hurried footsteps came towards here.
The leader was a man in his mid-twenties, who hurriedly asked when he saw Xing Rui,
"Where are the people? Where are they?"
Seeing that this man is also wearing a brocade robe, it goes without saying that he must be the most important person in the family.
"In Li Langzhong's medical clinic."
As soon as Xing Rui said these words, the man ran out impatiently with his servants, and Xing Rui followed him after seeing this.
It turned out that this man was Mr. Li's eldest brother, named Li Maosheng. When he came to the hospital and saw his brother injured like this, he also cursed.
"Report to the official position, young master?"
The servant reminded Li Maosheng. He looked at his brother who was still lying on the bed and said,
"It's better to send the person back first and then talk about it."
Several people found a wooden board in the hospital and carried Young Master Li. As soon as they left the hospital, they saw Xing Rui standing at the door.
"Why are you still standing here?"
The boy in the store looked at Xing Rui with some confusion.
"Oh, brother, I promised to give her twenty taels of silver. Does brother have any of it? Pay this sister-in-law for me."
Sister-in-law? The sound of sister-in-law caught Xing Rui off guard.
But after thinking about it, I realized that, since I already have three children, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call myself sister-in-law.
Now that I am not called Auntie, I am really Amitabha.
"I don't have any with me. Sister-in-law, please come with me."
Xing Rui could still bear it when Second Young Master Li called her sister-in-law, but the Young Master Li in front of her was obviously older than the original owner.
At this time, Xing Rui had 10,000 words passing through her heart, so she ignored them.
No, she must make herself look good. She has a beauty hospital, so what is she afraid of?
"OK,"
Although Xing Rui's heart was churning, she still nodded gently on her face.
Xing Rui, who was waiting at the door, looked at the bluestone bricks all over the yard and had an idea inexplicably.
"This sister-in-law,"
While talking, a young woman came over, and Xing Rui nodded hurriedly.
"Thank you for saving my second brother,"
Oh, she is the wife of the eldest young master of the Li family. It seems that the second young master still does not have a wife.
"Here are twenty taels of silver. Take it."
Xing Rui did not answer, but looked at the woman and gave a slight salute,
"Can I exchange ten taels of silver for these broken bluestone bricks?"
"this?"
The little woman looked at Xing Rui with some confusion, and Xing Rui hurriedly smiled and explained.
"To be honest, young lady, my family is poor, the house is about to collapse, my husband is seriously ill, and I have three children.
I was thinking that if Madam doesn’t want these blue bricks at home, I would just buy some and use them to build a house.”
Seeing the woman's hesitation, Xing Rui hurriedly added,
"Ten taels of silver is not enough. I don't want the other twenty taels. How many bluestone bricks can you give me? Okay, I don't want them. I want the broken ones, just half of them."
Xing Rui suddenly realized that these bluestone bricks were probably relatively expensive in this era, and he was afraid that he would not be able to buy them with his twenty taels of silver, so he automatically started to reduce the price.
"Sister-in-law, please wait a moment. I'll go back to the man at home."
As she spoke, the woman nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the depths of the yard.
Xing Rui looked at the large piece of bluestone bricks in front of her with envy. It would be great if this was her own.
Even if it is broken and incomplete, it is still better than those adobes of ours.
What's more, I've been taking off the adobe house day by day and I don't know when I'll be able to take off the house.
If we have such a pile, we can build a house when we go back.
At least before the rainy season, they wouldn't have to live in a house that was about to collapse at any time.
After a while, the eldest young man of the family came out with the young lady.
"I heard you want these bluestone bricks?"
The young master came up and asked Xing Rui.
"I know it's a bit abrupt, but my house can no longer accommodate anyone, my man is sick, and I have three children of several years old to raise.
If the eldest young master is willing to give me some, Xing Rui would be very grateful."
The eldest young master of the Li family looked at Xing Rui with a very strange look, abrupt?
How could this vulgar woman say this word?
She is obviously a country woman, but there is no timidity in her eyes at all.
Even though he was asking for help, he didn't show any humility at all. Instead, he seemed to be negotiating a business deal.
"Do you know how much such a large pile of green bricks would cost?"
"Of course, women of the common people know that exchanging twenty taels for a pile is indeed an advantage, but these are all used, and most of them are broken and defective.
It can be taken down by the eldest young master's house, so I don't think these things will ruin the atmosphere of the whole yard.
Instead of selling it to others, why not make it cheaper for women?"
"Ah……"
Li Maosheng felt more and more that the woman in front of him was not simple. Although the words he spoke were gentle, they made you feel embarrassed to refuse her with words.
"You see, it will take some manpower to pull these things out. Young Master, do you think this is good? I will find a way to find a car myself, and I will move it out myself?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
This time Li Maosheng burst into laughter and couldn't help but cast a look of admiration towards him.
"Okay, I have the final say now. Don't you say twenty taels of silver? Well, I'll give you the car. You've seen this pile."
Li Maosheng turned around, pointed at the large piece of bluestone bricks he had removed, and said with a smile,
"As long as you can carry it, I will give you as much as you can carry. How about that?"
Ha... Hearing this, Xing Rui burst into laughter.
He brought this to your door on his own initiative. If you don't take advantage of this huge advantage, it will be for nothing.
"Master Li, you said this, so I won't be polite?"
"Yes, I said, just move it. The young master will give you as many copies as you want."
"Husband?"
The little woman looked at Xing Rui unbearably and hurriedly pulled her man.
"Don't worry, young lady, maybe it's me, Xing Rui, who got the bargain?"
Xing Rui didn't waste any time, rolled up her sleeves, looked at the eldest young master of the Li family and asked,
"Please come out with the carriage. Qingzhuan, do you think I should move it directly to the carriage or leave it at the gate?"
Li Maosheng smiled strangely when he saw Xing Rui looking determined to win.
"Put as much as you put on the carriage, and I will pull it back for you."
Xing Rui nodded. She could clearly see Li Maosheng's weird smile, and thought it was not that simple.
However, looking at the pile of bluestone bricks in front of her, Xing Rui gritted her teeth.
I said in my heart, if you dare to say something that doesn't count, I will knock your Li family's house down.
Xing Rui spat hard on her hands, but suddenly woke up? How could she do this?
Suddenly she remembered that the original owner liked to spit into the palm of his hand every time before working. Unexpectedly, this habit had been subconsciously passed on to her.
Xing Rui also smiled secretly, not only doubting that the original owner was really completely dead?
Xing Rui strode towards the bluestone bricks, leaned over and picked up a large pile of them. Xing Rui didn't feel it took any effort.
The two people watching on the other side widened their eyes in surprise, and the little woman even exclaimed.
