Chapter 189 Confrontation
Wei Ruo immediately understood what Mrs. Xu meant: "Don't worry, old lady, I still have the loquat ointment. I will ask my maid to get you two jars." Mrs. Xu quickly stopped her
. Said: "Girl of the Wei family, I'm sorry to have gotten you a can, so why should I ask you for it for free? How about I buy it with you? You sell it to me, just ask the price." Mrs. Xu is not shameless either
. People don't want to take advantage of it in vain, not to mention that her old man has to take the loquat ointment for a long time. He can't just ask for it all at once. Then she, an old woman, is not going to do things like this no matter how thick-skinned she is.
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.
It would be inappropriate to ask for a price in front of Yunshi again.
Seeing Wei Ruo's refusal, Mrs. Xu said bluntly: "How about ten taels of silver per jar?" Mrs. Xu
also knew that this was a difficult matter. And really needed.
Therefore, before coming here, she specifically asked a doctor from Baicaotang to help her estimate the price of the loquat ointment.
The doctor could not accurately guess the price because he did not know the ingredients of loquat ointment. However, according to Mrs. Xu’s description, he learned that it had an effect on Mr. Xu’s illness, so he told Mrs. Xu that the medicine was expensive not only because of the ingredients, but also because of the ingredients. That’s when the recipe is the most valuable.
All the famous doctors in the city knew about Mr. Xu's illness, but they were at a loss to do anything. It can be seen that although this loquat ointment looks ordinary, it is a very precious thing, and the price must not be lowered.
Mrs. Xu thought it made sense, so she decided on a rough price after discussing with the doctor.
Hearing the price offered by Madam Xu, Yun took a step ahead of Wei Ruo and said, "Madam, it doesn't have to be like this. It's just some loquat paste. How can I use it at this price?" What is the concept of ten taels of silver? If you go to buy
loquats Leaves can fill the backyard.
What's more, Yun is not very confident in Wei Ruo's loquat ointment. What if Mrs. Xu's feeling slightly better after taking it was just a coincidence?
Mrs. Xu was very insistent: "Mrs. Wei doesn't know the importance of this loquat ointment to my husband. No amount of money can buy it."
Then Mrs. Xu said to Wei Ruo: "If Miss Wei thinks this The price is low, so we can discuss it later."
Mrs. Xu had already said this, so Wei Ruo naturally had no reason not to agree.
Although the cost of her medicine is not worth the price, the high price lies in the prescription, which cannot be purchased elsewhere, so she is not shady in selling it at this price.
Wei Ruo agreed: "The old lady has said so, and I can't refuse, so I will do it according to the old lady's wishes." Old Madam Xu smiled and said: "
This is the best."
Then Wei Ruo called Xiumei "You look back at Meiyuan and help me get two cans of loquat paste."
After hearing this, Mrs. Xu hurriedly said: "Two cans are not enough, I need a few more cans, six cans, not eight!"
Wei Ruo explained: "Old man You shouldn't store this loquat paste for too long. I'll get you two cans first and wait for a month. If it's almost finished, send someone over to say I'll make fresh ones and send them to you." Some things are stored
. The longer the time, the better, like tangerine peel and wine, but Wei Ruo's loquat paste is not the same, so every time Wei Ruo makes it, he doesn't make too much. After hearing Wei Ruo's explanation, Mrs. Xu understood: "I see, 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 get them. I bought two cans of loquat paste.
Mrs. Xu asked the old lady beside her to accept the two jars of loquat ointment, and at the same time gave Xiumei the bag containing twenty taels of silver.
Then Mrs. Xu left the principal's residence with a satisfied expression.
After Mrs. Xu left, Mrs. Yun looked at Wei Ruo and frowned: "Ruo'er, where did you get this loquat paste?"
Wei Ruo replied: "When I was in Mojiazha, there was an old woman who had a loquat ointment recipe passed down from her ancestors, which cured many people in the village's coughs. Seeing that I was sincere, she taught it to me.
" Yan Yun's brows did not relax: "Ruo'er, you shouldn't charge so much money for this loquat ointment. What if Mrs. Xu loses the effect after taking it?" "Didn't Mrs. Xu just say that
, Mrs. Xu came to buy it after taking it and it was effective. In that case, why should I worry? Even if it is useless later, it is not my fault." Wei Ruo said calmly.
Yun was a little annoyed: "You kid, do you know who this Mrs. Xu is? The Xu family has a deep and intertwined history in Taizhou Prefecture. If you offend her, our family will probably have difficulty in Taizhou Prefecture in the future." Wei Ruo replied
. : "If the Xu family is offended because of such a thing, then the Wei family will have a hard time in Fucheng, right? You have to worry about offending someone every step you take, and a little anxiety may affect your future." Wei Ruo's retort made
Yun The anger in Shi's heart suddenly ignited.
Originally, I was in a bad mood these past few days because I was worried about the disappearance of the seventh prince. It was just that the eldest daughter did not care about me as much as the second daughter. Today, she openly contradicted me again!
"What are you talking about? Is this how you contradict your mother?" Yun asked Wei Ruo with an angry look on her face.
"I have different views than yours. If I contradict you by raising a different view, I have nothing to say." Wei Ruo replied, raising his head without any intention of shrinking back.
"You have strong wings now. With Mrs. Yuan as your backer, you can no longer take me as your mother seriously, right?" Yun's anger became less and more intense.
"This has nothing to do with whether I have a backer or not. This is my point of view. I don't think there is anything wrong with selling my loquat paste for ten taels of silver. I don't think there is anything wrong with the exchange with Mrs. Xu today. ." Wei Ruo is neither humble nor arrogant nor shrinks back.
Yun suddenly raised her hand and lowered it towards Wei Ruo's face.
However, her hand did not touch Wei Ruo's cheek, and Wei Ruo reached out and held Yun's wrist.
Yunshi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at her wrist being held in disbelief.
"Mom, please think twice before taking action. As you just said, I still have Mrs. Yuan as my backer. If 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 spoke were fierce and a naked threat.
With or without Mrs. Yuan as his backer, Wei Ruo's views would not change. The difference is that Wei Ruo will use it if he has a backer, and Wei Ruo will never hide it so that he will be bullied in vain.
