How could a person’s heart be so twisted?
They had all come to buy things. Was it not good being polite and courteous? Did she have to exhibit her superiority and treat Qiaoqiao as her stepping stone to be happy?
Madam Zhang felt that the little stoic should be taught a lesson after making her daughter suffer like this. Otherwise, these young children would be so arrogant and condescending in the future, deeming everyone to be beneath them.
“Wait. Wait up!” Liangyuan Pharmacy’s shopkeeper had finally hurried over.
He had just finished taking inventory of their stock of three leaf flowers when a shop assistant rushed over and reported trouble happening in the main hall.
After hurrying over, he saw that Hongyuan Island’s Madam Zhang was quarreling with the esteemed customer who had just bought the three leaf flowers.
The shopkeeper couldn’t help but curse his luck in his mind.
Hongyuan Island had always been on good relations with Shuntian Prefecture’s Prefecture Lord. The people from Hongyuan Island lived in the Shuntian Prefecture long-term, and all of them, from the madam to the young master, were used to throwing their weight around.
How would Madam Zhang let go of this matter so easily after Zhang Wuxiang got taught a lesson like this?
It was hard to mediate this matter as it might even possibly implicate other people.
The shopkeeper hastily gestured to his shop assistant with his eyes. He quietly instructed him to go out and bring help.
Meanwhile, he quickly walked up and stood in front of the little stoic and her hubby. He smiled obsequiously toward Madam Zhang, “This old man was unaware of Madam’s arrival. Please excuse me for not coming out to greet you.”
“Shopkeeper, you are not needed here. Get out of the way!” Madam Zhang’s tone of voice was extremely overbearing.
“Ah, however.” The shopkeeper continued standing in front of Qiao Mu and shook his head with a smile. “This miss purchased many items from our pharmacy. She is our store’s honored guest. I cannot allow anything to happen to our honored guest inside the store.”
“Bullsh*t.” Zhang Wuxiang snapped belligerently, “What honored guest! You think you’re coaxing a three-year-old kid? Didn’t this little b*tch just buy a dying plant with one spirit currency? Shopkeeper Qiu, don’t you forget, our Hongyuan Island buys more than ten thousand spirit currency’s worth of medicinal materials from your pharmacy every year. Don’t you overlook the bigger picture and offend our entire Hongyuan Island for a pauper.”
“The loss outweighs your gain! Shopkeeper Qiu.” Zhang Wuxiang shouted with arrogance while supporting the back of her waist.
Madam Zhang also nodded in agreement. “Correct, Shopkeeper Qiu, you think it over what you should do.”
Shopkeeper Qiu was bewildered as to what they were talking about.
“What one spirit currency?” He clarified after some comtemplation, “This miss has just placed an order for all the three leaf flowers we have, which comes out to a total of 15 thousand spirit currency.”
“What?” Madam Zhang, Zhang Wuxiang, and Wu Jinyi were all stunned. They looked at Qiao Mu in disbelief.
“How is that possible?” Zhang Wuxiang promptly shrieked, completely unable to accept it. “I clearly saw her walk around the second floor three times and just buy a dying plant! Who are you deceiving with 15 thousand spirit currency?”
Shopkeeper Qiu was baffled. “What benefit do I get out of deceiving you? This is the truth.”
“Shopkeeper, there’s no need to talk nonsense with a retard. Come process the payment.”
“Ah, okay. Okay, Miss.” Shopkeeper Qiu quickly ambled over to Qiao Mu with a wide smile.
Zhang Wuxiang’s expression had completely contorted. She couldn’t believe it at all!
How was this possible? She had just threatened the shopkeeper by asking whether they wanted to continue doing business with their Hongyuan Island.
