Chapter 39: Don’t think about kidnapping her morally
After Chang Ning got home, she briefly explained the matter to Tao Qiqi. Although she only said that Tao Qiniang was interested in a golden hairpin that cost one hundred taels of silver, but based on Tao Qiqi's understanding of Tao Qiniang, Tao Qiniang would definitely
It is impossible to be willing to spend one hundred taels to buy a gold hairpin.
Although Tao Qiniang was accompanied by Jiang Ye and Mrs. Jiang, which could rule out the possibility of being deceived, there was only one possibility: something must have happened.
Thinking of this, Tao Qiqi pretended to go back to the room to get the money, and then said to Chang Ning: "I will go with you to see what gold hairpin is so valuable."
When Chang Ning heard that Tao Qiqi wanted to go with him, he felt slightly embarrassed on his face. Tao Qiqi knew from the first glance that this matter was definitely not simple.
But Chang Ning didn't say much, took Tao Qiqi and walked to the gold shop.
Soon the two of them arrived at the door of the gold store.
Tao Qiqi, who got off the carriage, saw the four people in the gold shop and immediately understood.
"I just said that a certain kind of gold hairpin costs a hundred taels. It turns out that I encountered blood-sucking insects."
"Qiqi, why are you here?" Tao Qiniang asked nervously when she saw Tao Qiqi coming.
"Chang Ning said that you are interested in a gold hairpin that costs a hundred taels. I guess it is not simple. Usually you feel distressed for a long time just to spend one tael of silver. How can you be willing to spend a hundred taels to buy a gold hairpin? And what kind of thing is it?
The gold hairpin actually costs one hundred taels? Are you trying to steal money?"
"That's not the case." Tao Qiniang then told Tao Qiqi exactly what happened just now.
After listening to Tao Qiniang's words, Tao Qiqi naturally understood, so she turned around and looked at Tao, then raised her lips and said: "These are thirty taels of gold hairpins. We won't give out one tael more. Are you willing to sell them?"
We are willing to buy it, but if we are not willing to buy it, then we will get it.”
Tao Qiqi hates those who like moral kidnapping the most. It's not that she doesn't know how to be grateful, it's just that they don't have any wrongdoing about Tao Qiniang.
Although the life-saving grace should be repaid by a spring, the nature of the life-saving grace had changed when the Tao family took away all the valuable things from Tao Qiniang before rescuing Tao Qiniang.
This is just a transaction, taking someone's money and saving someone's life, shouldn't it?
Don't say what if they don't save, if they only take valuable things, what if. There are not so many ifs in the world, she Tao Qiqi only tells the facts.
Don't ever try to use this to blackmail the two of them for the rest of their lives.
After listening to Tao Qiqi's words, Tao felt as if she was on a roller coaster. She had already negotiated a hundred taels just now, and all she had to do was hand over the money and the other. Unexpectedly, Tao Qiqi showed up, let alone
One hundred taels, and finally fifty taels were gone, falling directly to thirty taels. Suddenly seventy taels were missing, Tao's heart was bleeding. She looked at Tao Qiqi, and finally gritted her teeth and spoke slowly:
"Tao Qiqi, you bastard, why did our Tao family offend you? If you want to do this to us, your mother has already agreed to give you one hundred taels. When you come, she will give you thirty taels or three."
Shiliang, how do you want our big family to survive?"
"How you live has nothing to do with me. My money didn't come from the strong wind, it was earned with my life. Thirty taels is the normal market price. You didn't suffer any loss, and I didn't take advantage of you either."
I have a clear conscience at any price. If you believe that the gold shop owner is not here, you can ask him and see what price he will charge you."
After Tao Qiqi finished speaking, Tao Shi wanted to ask, but before she could speak, the eldest daughter-in-law said first, "That's different. The boss can have this thing, so the price will naturally be different. But don't forget
Yes, this thing is very important to your mother. Can you bear to watch your mother lose a precious thing?"
Hearing this, Tao Qiniang replied: "No, this thing is also dispensable to me."
"Then you were still willing to pay one hundred taels just now?"
"I'm willing to pay a hundred taels because I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. But after what Qiqi said just now, I think Qiqi is right. I don't owe you the Tao family, so I don't need to make any compromises."
To be honest, I suddenly don’t want this thing that much anymore, so Qiqi and I can’t do anything with these thirty taels.”
After Tao Qiniang finished speaking, she looked at her daughter. For some reason, as long as Qiqi was by her side, she felt that she didn't have to be afraid of anything, didn't have to worry about anything, and didn't have to make any aggrieved compromises.
Even when she said those words just now, she felt that they seemed to be her true self.
After hearing what Tao Qiniang said, Tao Qiqi agreed: "In that case, we won't buy it. If you want to sell it, just ask the gold shop owner if he is willing to accept it."
After Tao Qiqi finished speaking, she looked at Tao Qiniang and asked, "Mother, why did you suddenly come to the gold store?"
Tao Qiniang looked at her daughter tenderly and replied: "Have you forgotten that today is your birthday?"
"Then you said you were going shopping today, so you came to pick out a gift for me? Did you pick it out well?"
Tao Qiniang pulled Tao Qiqi to the booth just now, and then pointed to the hairpin they were looking at inside: "Do you like that hairpin?"
Tao Qiqi looked at the silver hairpin and almost blurted out that she liked it.
Fortunately, she quickly realized that she was now dressed as a boy, and Jiang Ye and her son were still there. So she smiled and replied: "Mom, even if I celebrate my birthday today, I'm only 15, so why would you buy a hairpin for your future daughter-in-law so early?
Just buy it if you want, and you want to buy it as my birthday gift. Isn't this too cruel to me?"
Hearing what her daughter said, Tao Qiniang also reacted and quickly replied: "I'm not trying to save you some money. I bought it for you, and you can give it to your wife when the time comes. Isn't that great?
.”
"That won't work. We don't lack that little money now. It's my birthday, so I have to buy something that suits me."
Hearing this, Tao Qiniang responded dotingly: "Okay, then pick what you like and see what you like?"
"No, it should be you, mother, who chooses it. In this way, even if I give you money, it will be considered a gift from you."
"Okay, I'll pick it up." Tao Qiniang agreed with a happy smile, then turned around to call the shopkeeper over, but she saw Tao and the shopkeeper bargaining over the price of her hairpin.
The eldest daughter-in-law on the side has been staring at the two of them, her eyes wishing she could eat both of them in one bite.
Especially when they saw the two of them discussing buying gifts, chatting and laughing, they were not at all as depressed as they expected to see. Even looking at it now, the life of the two of them was not known to be very good.
Compared to the last time they met, it was even better, and she felt jealous.
While others who fled from famine were dark and thin, the two of them were not only whiter, but their skin and complexion were also getting better and better.
This Tao Qiqi is getting more and more outstanding. If she puts on girl's clothes, she might be able to marry into a good family with her beauty. Thinking of this, the eldest daughter-in-law clenches her teeth with hatred.
