Chapter 189 Confrontation
Wei Ruo understood Madam Xu's meaning right away: "Don't worry, Madam, I still have that loquat cream. I'll ask my maid to bring you two cans."
Mrs. Xu hurriedly stopped her and said, "Girl of the Wei family, I'm embarrassed to have a can of you, so how can I ask you for nothing? So, how about I buy it with you? You sell me, just ask for a price."
Mrs. Xu is not a thick-skinned person, and she doesn't want to take advantage of it for nothing. What's more, her old man has to take the loquat cream for a long time, and she can't ask for it once. That's how it works.
Wei Ruo smiled lightly and said, "That's unnecessary."
It's not that she doesn't want the money, it's just that now she is not Xu Heyou but Wei Ruo.
In front of Yun's face again, it is really inappropriate to ask for a price.
Seeing Wei Ruo's refusal, Mrs. Xu said bluntly: "So, ten taels of silver for a jar, okay?"
Mrs. Xu also knows that this is a difficult situation. She is in charge of shopping for a prostitute of a family, and the words are not nice, but she really needs it.
Before she came here, she asked a doctor from Baicaotang to help her estimate the price of the loquat cream.
The doctor did not know the ingredients of the loquat cream so it was difficult to accurately guess the price, but according to Mrs. Xu’s description, he learned that it had an effect on Mrs. Xu’s illness, so he told Mrs. Xu that the medicine is not only expensive because of the ingredients, but also because of its Sometimes the formula is the most valuable.
Old Master Xu's sick mansion city is known to all famous doctors, and they are helpless. It can be seen that although this loquat paste looks ordinary, it is very precious, and the price must not be lowered.
Mrs. Xu thought it made sense, so she set an approximate price after discussing with the doctor.
Hearing the price offered by Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Yun took a step ahead of Wei Ruo and said, "Old lady, you don't have to do that, it's just some loquat cream, how can you use this price."
What is the concept of ten taels of silver? If you go to buy loquat leaves, you can pile up the backyard.
What's more, Yun's family is not very confident in Wei Ruo's loquat cream. What if it was just a coincidence that Mrs. Xu felt better after taking it?
Mrs. Xu insisted: "Mrs. Wei doesn't know the importance of this loquat cream to my master. No amount of money can buy it."
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Xu said to Wei Ruo: "If Miss Wei thinks the price is too low, we can discuss it again."
Mrs. Xu has already talked about this point, Wei Ruo naturally has no reason not to agree.
Although the cost of her medicine is not worth the price, it is expensive because of the prescription, which cannot be bought elsewhere, so she is not black-hearted in selling it at this price.
Wei Ruo agreed: "The old lady has said so, and I can't refuse, so I will do what the old lady wants."
Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "This is the best."
Then Wei Ruo called to Xiumei: "You look back at Meiyuan and fetch me two cans of loquat paste."
Hearing this, Mrs. Xu hurriedly said: "Two cans are not enough, I need a few more cans, six cans, not eight cans!"
Some things are better stored as long as possible, such as tangerine peel and wine, but Wei Ruo's loquat paste is not, so every time Wei Ruo makes it, he doesn't make too much.
After hearing Wei Ruo's explanation, Mrs. Xu understood: "So that's the case, then I'll take two cans this time, and come back to bother Miss Wei later."
"Okay." Wei Ruo agreed, and then Xiumei went to fetch two cans of loquat paste.
Mrs. Xu asked the old lady beside her to accept the two cans of loquat paste, and at the same time gave Xiumei the bag containing twenty taels of silver.
Then Mrs. Xu left the Captain's Mansion with a satisfied expression.
After Mrs. Xu left, Yun looked at Wei Ruo and frowned slightly: "Ruoer, how did you get this loquat paste?"
Wei Ruo replied: "When I was in Mojiazha, there was an old lady who had a prescription of loquat paste passed down from her ancestors, which cured many people in the village from coughing. Seeing my sincerity, she passed it on to me."
Wen Yanyun's brows did not relax: "Ruo'er, you shouldn't charge so much money for this loquat cream. If Old Master Xu doesn't have any effect after taking it, how will you end up?"
"Didn't Mrs. Xu just say that she came to buy it after Mrs. Xu took it and found it effective. If that's the case, why should I worry? Even if the follow-up is useless, it's not my fault." Wei Ruo said calmly.
Yun was a little annoyed: "You child, do you know who this old Mrs. Xu is? The Xu family has a deep foundation in Taizhou Mansion, and the roots are intertwined. If you offend her, our family may struggle in Taizhou Mansion in the future."
Wei Ruo replied: "If the Xu family is offended because of something like this, then the Wei family is struggling in Fucheng, right? You have to worry about offending people every step of the way, and a little anxiety may affect your future."
Wei Ruo's rebuttal ignited the anger in Yun's heart.
In the past few days, I was in a bad mood to be worried about the disappearance of the seventh prince. The eldest daughter was not as concerned about herself as the second daughter, but today she blatantly contradicted herself again!
"What are you talking about? Is that how you contradict your mother?" Yun asked Wei Ruo, his face full of anger.
"I have a different point of view from yours. I have nothing to say if I put forward a different point of view, even if I contradict you." Wei Ruo replied, raising his head, showing no sign of shrinking back.
"You are hardened now, with Mrs. Yuan as your backing, you can ignore my mother, right?" Yun's anger became less and more intense.
"It has nothing to do with whether I have a backer. Whether I have a backer is my point of view. I don't think there is any problem with selling my loquat paste for ten taels of silver, and I don't think there is any problem with the communication with Mrs. Xu today. .” Wei Ruo was neither humble nor overbearing nor flinched.
Yunshi suddenly raised his hand, and then lowered it towards Wei Ruo's face.
However, her hand didn't touch Wei Ruo's cheek, Wei Ruo stretched out her hand and grabbed Yun's wrist.
Yun was stunned for a moment, then looked at his grasped wrist in disbelief.
"Mother, please think twice before doing this. You just said that I have Mrs. Yuan as a backer. If my mother beats me hard, I might say something I shouldn't say when I go to Mrs. Yuan's house tomorrow."
Wei Ruo's expression was calm and his tone was calm, but the words he said were ruthless, a naked threat.
With or without the backing of Mrs. Yuan, Wei Ruo's views will not change. The difference is that Wei Ruo will use it when he has a backer, and Wei Ruo will never hide when he can pretend to be bullied.
