"There is a villager here named Li Qian. He ordered ten pieces of cotton yarn from our cloth shop, and he also asked that the yarn be fine and not dyeable, because our cloth shop has never sold this kind of cotton yarn, so I brought him some samples. Take a look." Wu Xianxian said.
Originally, she didn't need a young lady to come forward in person for this kind of thing, but this was a big deal.
Generally speaking, if a villager could pull out a few feet of burlap, it would be good. She had never seen anyone asking for cloth in bundles, and it was the most expensive kind of cotton yarn. One bundle would cost ten bundles. Out of curiosity, she came over to take a look in person.
And she also heard that Zhuang Xiaodie was in Beiba Village, so she could come and meet this good sister.
"Li Qian!" Zhuang Xiaodie's eyes widened.
Then she was grinding her teeth again. Ten pieces of cotton yarn were spent on her banker's money.
Seeing her look, Wu Xianxian couldn't help but ask, "What? Xiaodie, do you know this Li Qian?"
"More than just knowing each other, I have been staying at his house now. It is because of him that I have not returned to the Zhuang Mansion." Zhuang Xiaodie gritted his teeth.
Seeing her like this, Wu Xianxian became even more puzzled, "You didn't go back to Zhuang Mansion because of him? Why?"
"Do you remember that I told you before that there is a bastard who loves to beat his wife and children." Zhuang Xiaodie said.
Wu Xianxian nodded, "Well, you are talking about the man from Yun Niang's family who is very good at needlework. Not only does he not do his job properly, he relies on his wife to support him, but he dares to beat his wife every day. It is simply unreasonable, like this Men deserve to be stabbed a thousand times!”
Then, she couldn't help but come to her senses, "Xiaodie, don't you think that bastard is this Li Qian?"
"Who else could it be if it wasn't him?" Zhuang Xiaodie sneered.
Wu Xianxian's expression also changed slightly, "Is Li Qian that bastard?"
She was really curious before about how a villager could be so generous. This was the biggest reason why she came to discuss the business in person.
Now she was told that the other person was actually the bastard who beat his wife every day, which disappointed her so much.
Even she was worried that the business of these ten pieces of cotton yarn would not be fake.
But they have already received the deposit from the clothing store, so this cannot be a lie.
Then she was wondering how a bastard who beat his wife every day could suddenly buy so much cotton yarn, and where did the money come from.
"Xiaodie, why are you staying at this bastard's house?" But she is more curious about why Zhuang Xiaodie is staying at that bastard's house.
"This bastard stole almost a thousand taels of silver from our banker. If I don't get enough money, can I go back?" Zhuang Xiaodie said angrily.
Of course, she also knew that it was impossible to get back the one thousand taels of silver, and she could not always stay in Beiba Village.
But, at least, she doesn't want to take advantage of that bastard now.
"Ah, he embezzled thousands of taels of silver from your village?" Wu Xianxian was shocked, "Then why didn't your village report the official to arrest him?"
The corner of Zhuang Xiaodie's mouth twitched a few times, "He is greedy and aboveboard, and my father clearly supports him. He doesn't even mention the money. Why should he be reported to the official position?"
"Ah?" Wu Xianxian was even more dumbfounded, greedy and aboveboard? Mr. Zhuang still supports him, what is this...?
Then she took a serious look at Zhuang Xiaodie and said, "Xiaodie, you won't say that your father has taken a liking to that bastard, right?"
What she meant, of course, was that Mr. Zhuang would not regard Li Qi'an as his son-in-law. Otherwise, how could he be so tolerant of that bastard?
No, this can no longer be called tolerance, but connivance.
Thousand taels of silver, that's a huge sum of money. Why should Mr. Zhuang be so generous besides giving it to his daughter as a dowry?
But thinking about it carefully, she felt that this was simply impossible. Not to mention the character of the bastard, let's just say that the bastard already had a wife. Even if Mr. Zhuang was blind, there was no way he would like such a person.
But other than this explanation, she really couldn't find a reason.
"Bah, bah, bah, Xianxian, what are you talking about?" Zhuang Xiaodie's pretty face turned red, "That bastard already has a wife and children, will my father like him? Besides, even if all the men in the world are dead, this lady will I won’t like him either!”
Seeing her say this, Wu Xianxian was relieved. Yes, if it was really as she guessed, it would be a strange news.
However, why does Xiaodie blush and insist on explaining to herself?
Besides, Xiaodie always stays at that bastard's house. Even if he is not afraid of others gossiping, can Mr. Zhuang be relieved?
Even if the thousand taels of silver might have some hidden agenda, Mr. Zhuang shouldn't do this.
Of course, she just felt strange.
After all, the main purpose of her visit today is to discuss business. Although the other party is a bastard, since she has money to buy cotton yarn from their cloth shop, she is a customer of their cloth shop.
Even if the money came from some shady sources, since Mr. Zhuang wouldn't pursue it, why should she care.
Besides, she also wanted to see how much of a bastard this Li Qian was!
