CHAPTER 81: CHAPTER 81: THE SCHEMING MU YUANXIU

Li Yuzhu nodded, "Alright then, let’s settle on three hundred coins."

That day after delivering the leopard meat, the village chief lent her a wheelbarrow. At that time, she inquired about the price, and a wheelbarrow like that costs around four hundred coins.

The shopkeeper only asked for three hundred coins, clearly giving her a discount.

Trying to bargain more wouldn’t work, as the shopkeeper wouldn’t sell it at too much of a loss.

It’s best to be reasonable.

"Why not sell it at sixty percent off?" The Great Princess thought that if they got sixty percent off, they could save dozens of coins.

The shopkeeper frowned, with an expression showing he didn’t want to sell.

Li Yuzhu pulled over the Great Princess and called out to the Second Young Master, "Second Brother, pay up, let’s buy it and go back early."

The three taels of broken silver given by the Chai Family were still in the hands of the Second Young Master.

Second Young Master Li took a piece of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper held it in his hand to look, and then bit into it, confirming it was real silver, before calling someone to bring a small scale to weigh it.

"A tael and a tenth of silver, a three hundred coin cart, I’ll give you eight hundred coins in change."

Li Yuzhu took the large string of coins and counted them, not a single coin was short, and she carefully put them in her pocket.

The transaction was complete.

With a heavy curiosity, Li Xing’an eagerly went to push the wheelbarrow, playing with it on the street like a big toy.

The Second Young Master competed with him to play.

Mu Yuanxiu watched the two brothers play and couldn’t help but smile.

Li Yuzhu remembered something and asked Mu Yuanxiu, "Hey, neighbor, what flaw does that Luo Family’s carriage have?" She stared at the carriage for a long time but didn’t see anything.

"No flaws." Mu Yuanxiu glanced at her and said with a smile.

Li Yuzhu was startled, but soon realized what he meant.

She opened her eyes wide, "You scared that shopkeeper?"

This guy really knows how to be cunning!

"He’s not honest in business, bullying the weak, substituting inferior goods for good ones." Mu Yuanxiu scoffed lightly.

Li Yuzhu came to a realization.

That shopkeeper, having done so many guilty deeds, gets scared so easily.

She squinted her eyes at Mu Yuanxiu, "Mr. Mu, for someone your age, you seem to know everything."

A fourteen-year-old child, yet he had the wisdom and calmness of an adult, truly impressive.

Mu Yuanxiu looked at her with deep eyes, "Knowing too little can cost you your life."

Li Yuzhu blinked, "Is it really that serious?"

Mu Yuanxiu looked ahead, "Your brothers have gone far, better catch up."

Li Yuzhu looked forward to see her siblings already dozens of steps ahead, planning to leave her behind?

Li Yuzhu’s face darkened. Have they forgotten their sister now that they have a new toy?

Li Xing’an played with the wheelbarrow for a while, then came back.

"Come, come, Third Sister, sit on it, and I’ll push you."

"Alright." Li Yuzhu smiled and tried sitting on it.

Li Xing’an began running down the street, pushing Li Yuzhu.

The Great Princess and the Second Princess envied them with eyes full of fire.

"Third Brother, I want to sit too!" The Great Princess pouted.

"You’re too heavy, I can’t push you!" Li Xing’an said bluntly.

The Great Princess gnashed her teeth in anger, "I’m clearly very slim!"

The Second Princess looked at her, "Big Sister, you’re a head and a half taller than Third Sister, of course you’re heavier."

The Great Princess turned to glare at her, "You’re two circles fatter than Third Sister, Third Brother definitely can’t push you! Hmph!"

The Second Princess looked aggrieved, "I’ve lost quite a bit of weight recently..."

"Third Brother, there’s a rice shop ahead, let’s buy some rice to take back." Li Yuzhu pointed to a shop in front and said.

"Alright." Li Xing’an held the wheelbarrow and excitedly pushed forward, calling back to the others walking behind them, "Hurry up and follow."
