Lady Su’s Revenge Chapter 73

Chapter 73 - Unknown Background

Transaction?

Su Huanli looked wary and said, “Except the current transaction, are there other choices?”

“Yes, there aren’t.” Su Li laughed recklessly and said, “So I decide to raise the price!”

“Raise the price again?”

Su Huanli screamed uncontrollably. “When I met him for the first time, he raised the price from 800 taels to 1,000 taels per jin. How much would he raise this time?” he thought.

“1,200 taels?”

“2,000 taels per jin.”

Su Li spoke easily, but Su Huanli was so frightened that his heart stopped instantly and his face turned pale. He said, “Impossible! I don’t have 100,000 taels. I respect you as an unusual person in Jianghu. Don’t go too far!”

“Respect me?”

Leaning forward, Su Li looked sarcastic and mocked, “The head of the Su Family, sometimes you have to think carefully before you speak. I took things of the Su Family and sell them back. If you had the ability, you would kill me earlier! Do you think I’ll show my kindness and lower the price hearing something polite?”

Su Huanli stopped breathing temporarily and couldn’t speak.

“Did you say I went too far?”

Su Li stood up straight and crossed her hands on her chest. She said, “Yes! I am bulling you! The Su Family bullied a little girl and we are tarred with the same brush. Don’t dislike each other!”

“…You! you!”

Su Huanli was so angry that he was asthmatic. He uttered the word “you” several times without a complete sentence.

He and Mam. Su-Cui just controlled the Baiwei Building, and they planned to use the way of the Yang Family to increase the sales of the Beggar’s Chicken. If there was no seasoning, there was no way to sell the dish. What’s worse, the Yang Family may be furious. The consequence couldn’t be imagined!

Taking a deep breath, Su Huanli became less tough. “Okay…I will buy 25 jin first. Give me three days to prepare the remaining 50,000 taels, and then I’ll trade with you.”

Then he took out 50,000 taels again, which was held so tightly that he almost bled.

In consideration of the current passenger flow of the Baiwei Building, 25 jin of raw materials can only support the operation of half a month. During this period, he must find a substitute. Otherwise, eighty percent of the money from the Baiwei Building was given to the mysterious man. How could he accept it?

Su Li reached out and took the bank note into her arms. Qu Qingning watched and touched his belly. He felt doubtful. Although Su Huanli became angry, they did not let the Su Family suffer. What was the meaning of doing so?

At this time, Su Li put away the bank note and turned away.

Su Huanli was dumbfounded at once and quickly shouted at her, “Wait a moment! Do you forget to give me the raw materials?”

“Oh, I do.”

Su Li turned around and said with a smile “Such a bad memory. I almost forget to tell you. I have two hundred jin of raw materials left which can support your operation until you grow new materials next year. Buy all or none.”

“Impossible!” Su Huanli was shocked and said, “Two hundred jin means 400,000 taels of silver. I don’t have so much silver.”

“It’s none of my business.” Su Li’s smile turned malicious and insidious and then she said, “Didn’t I say it? I talked to the head of the Su Family about a new transaction. In the midnight three days later, if you didn’t come, I would feed pigs with all the raw materials. Don’t blame my mercilessness.”

Then Su Li shook the bank note worth 50,000 taels in her hand and said, “This is the deposit. I’ll take care of those raw materials for you in three days.”

Su Huanli kept staring at Su Li and trembled with rage. Suddenly he turned his eyes and fainted with rage.

“Master!”

Li Yin exclaimed and quickly supported his master. Su Li turned away coldly.

Qu Qingning took the antidote to change to his original appearance after returning to the valley. He had a lot to say but didn’t know how to say. He followed Su Li to walk around and finally gave a long sigh, “Su Li, I thought my acting skills were very good. Seeing yours today… I candidly admit my defeat. You were so tough today. Even those of Jianghu couldn’t act better than you.”

Su Li removed the camouflage and glanced at Qu Qingning. She said, “Are you praising me or belittling me? My Daddy makes me unhappy. I’ll certainly make him even more unhappy.”

“But…” Qu Qingning scratched his head and asked, “Does the Su Family really have so much silver? If not, will we throw all the raw materials away?”

“No!” Su Li’s eyes twinkled with inexplicable wisdom. She said, “If my grandma is smart enough, she will never allow it to happen.”

“What?”

Mam. Su-Cui supported her with a crutch heavily, and the ground shook slightly. She pointed to her son, who was puzzled, and said, “You have been blackmailed for 200,000 taels. You are such an evil son. Are you going to piss me off?”

“Mother, I had no way…”

Su Huanli clearly explained what happened, “The mysterious man knew the lifeline of the Baiwei Building well. If I didn’t give silver, the good situation of the Baiwei Building would disappear at once!”

Then Su Huanli looked sullen and said, “Although the profit of the Baiwei Building has been very good these days, the amount only reaches 210,000 taels. Plus the profit of the Silk Shop and the circulating funds of the family, we can collect 300,000 taels. There is still a shortage of 100,000 taels. Mother…”

Seeing her son’s helpless eyes, Mam. Su-Cui snorted, “Do you think that the Muyang Girls’ School was so easy to be bribed? I spent more than 100,000 taels bribing the Yang Family. Now there is only 50,000 taels left.

Su Huanli was dumbfounded at once and said, “There is still a shortage of 50,000 taels. How can we make it?”

Li Yin stood at the door and heard all their words. He had saved a sum of money for decades and it was enough to fill the shortage of the Su Family. But he closed his eyes and stood still. He didn’t want to go in at all.

The Baiwei Building was the hard work of the Second Miss. Since the mother and son burned the bridge after crossing it, they drove the Second Miss away. There was no need to have the Beggar’s Chicken in the Baiwei Building. It was good to let the mysterious man feed the pigs with all the raw materials.

Mam. Su-Cui and Su Huanli had discussed the shortage for a long time, but there was still no way to meet the shortage. Almost all the money of the Su Family had been collected and 350,000 was the limit.

In the Jinyuan Court, Zhu Yan was basking in the sun. Suddenly she heard something. She sat up and saw Su Huanli walking in through the door.

“Master, why are you here?” Zhu Yan looked surprised and said, “Zipei, serve the tea for your Daddy quickly!”

Su Zipei had not picked up the teapot, and Su Huanli had already waved his hand to stop it. “Yan, I am here for help. Can you borrow 50,000 taels of silver from your mother’s home? One month! I will be able to pay back the money in one month!”

Zhu Yan was instantly embarrassed when she heard the words. She didn’t know how much money she had taken from her mother’s home these years. When she returned to her mother’s home, even her parents would drive her out. How could she borrow a penny?

“Master, I really want to give you a hand, but I…”

Seeing the expression of his wife, Su Huanli was instantly furious. He gave a cold hum and said, “You don’t hesitate to take money from the counting house. When the family has a difficulty, , you are as mean as a miser. You are really my good wife!”

Zhu Yan seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer in her heart, and she burst into tears angrily. “Master, how can you say that? If I had a penny, I would give it to you! But I helped the mother a lot, there is no money left! What should I do with such complaints?” she said.

Su Huanli woke up and came to his sense. Seeing his wife crying again and thinking of the 50,000 taels of silver in shortage, he got bored and left the Jinyuan Court swinging his sleeves. He did not say anything comforting.

Zhu Yan looked at the empty doorway in a stupid way. Her tears fell from her face. She had pretended to cry, but now she really cried.

“Mother, don’t cry. You are going to suffer if there is strong pregnancy reaction!”

Su Zipei instantly came to comfort her mother.

Zhu Yan covered her belly and slowly leaned on the pillow of a rattan chair. “I married the wrong person. Zipei, you must rely on the thing to find your origin. Only in this way can I live a good life. Do you know?” she said in a low voice.

Su Zipei bit her lips and said, “I will not let you down!”

Throughout the day, Su Huanli was on the go for money. He couldn’t get any money from the Zhu Family. Then he went to the Yang Family but was not allowed to enter the house.

The Yang Family had completely stopped communicating with the Su Family because of Su Yuezhu’s affair. Su Huanli also heard that the Yang Family seemed to have the intention of divorce.

Su Huanli was anxious and had no time to care for Su Yuezhu. Immediately he went to the Wantong Money Shop. When Su Huanli asked to borrow 50,000 taels, it was believed that something was wrong. That was because the Su Family should be very rich now.

To be cautious, the shopkeeper of the money shop offered the ten percent interest per day. Su Huanli had to pay back more than ten thousand of taels for the interest of the 50,000 taels per month. He couldn’t accept it at all and had to go back home.

“It seems that there is only one way…”

Su Huanli showed some distress and immediately called Li Yin to give detailed instructions.

That night, Fang Yuan, a dusty man, returned to the valley yard. When he saw Su Li, he did not say anything and handed over the files obtained from the investigation to Su Li.

It turned out that the Mam. Su-Cui’s Cui Family was not an ordinary family too. In its early years, it was a noble family in the Qinghe Province, but later the family offended the noble and was forced to be demobilized. Because Mam. Su-Cui had been in the Su Family all the time, she had not been affected. She had five shops in the Qinghe Province.

This time, the Yang Family was willing to help. On one hand, they were interested in the business of the Baiwei Building; on the other hand, Mam. Su-Cui also promised to give the Yang Family two shops in the Qinghe Province. Even if the two shops were not used by their family members, they were very cost-effective to be rented.

The Yang Family paid attention to interests, and with Mam. Yang-Cui’s help, the cooperation between the two families formed. In this way, they easily kicked Su Li out of the school. On the surface, however, Su Li didn’t get any money at all.

“The Tianya House also forecast the Su Family’s current circulating funds.” Fang Yuan learned of Su Li’s plan from Qu Qingning and immediately said, “If they don’t sell one or two shops in the Qinghe Province cheaply, they can’t collect 400,000 taels at all!”

Su Li opened the files. She supported her chin and looked at Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning. She said with a smile, “In this way, we will soon have the first or even the second shop. You two…Who is going to the Qinghe Province?”

“I’ll go!” Qu Qingning raised his eyebrows and boasted with complacence, “Su Li, you have to believe in my acting skills. They’re impressive!”

Su Li smiled even more, nodded slightly without saying. Fang Yuan saw it and he smiled slightly. She was still her and was not affected by gossip at all.

That night, Qu Qingning was dressed up by Su Li, and then Qu Qingning rushed to the Qinghe Province overnight.

The next day, the dawn was just breaking. In the center of the Qinghe Province, the streets of Qinghe Town were full of people and vehicles. From time to time, old and precious carriages passed by.

The location of the Cui Family’s shop was just medium, but the land was not cheap. If it was sold at the original price, each could cost 70,000 or 80,000 taels.

At this moment, one shop of Mam. Su-Cui had been emptied. Su Huanli felt that every minute and second was slowly passing by. Although it was winter, his sweat almost soaked his clothes through.

Tomorrow was the third day!

If he couldn’t sell the shop before the deadline, the Baiwei Building was going to close down.

He specially went to the Tianya House to estimate a price for the shop. The land was worth 80,000 taels. He gritted his teeth and cut 30,000 taels. So, he sold it at a price of 50,000 taels. Sure enough, many people came to inquire, but when they heard that the delivery would be completed in two days, the businessmen hesitated for fear of fraud.

There were a lot of cheats in recent years. They had to investigate clearly before they bought.

Su Huanli was so angry. If they all figured it out and bought the shop, it would be too late!
