Aunt Lan Hua originally thought this matter was hopeless, but there was an unexpected surprise. She quickly asked Yang Dong how much silver he would offer.
If they could sell hard fruits by the pound, that would be great, especially since their family had seven to eight thousand pounds of hard fruits.
But before she could feel happy for two seconds, her heart sank again.
Yang Dong, that kid, was unwilling to even pay four taels for labor. Would he be willing to pay a high price for those hard fruits?
No matter how she thought about it, it seed unlikely. He might drive the price very low, right?
Not only was Aunt Lan Hua worried, but even the people of the Yang Family couldn’t understand this fourth brother. They were all thinking, what is the fourth brother actually getting at now?
At this ti, Yang Dong spoke up, "Aunt Lan Hua, just consider that food as sothing I bought. I’ll pay five taels of silver. This is one tael more than double the labor paynt. It’s not like we’re outsiders. Take the extra silver back to Yang Xiaocui to improve her health."
As soon as he said this, everyone in the room was shocked.
Aunt Lan Hua didn’t expect Yang Dong to really offer more silver, and what he said sounded so nice. They weren’t outsiders, taking it back to help Xiaocui recover. This even boosted her pride, as he was showing concern for their family’s daughter right in front of the Yang Family.
Aunt Lan Hua wasn’t a dull person; she knew the importance of knowing when to accept a good offer. The five taels of silver were only two less than she expected. If she didn’t agree now, she might not get even one, so she quickly said, "Alright, let’s do as Yang Dong says, five taels of silver."
Then Yang Dong spoke again, "Aunt Lan Hua, since you agree, let’s find a ti to move all the food to my house, but we also need to ask the Village Chief to write a note, proving these are what you sold to ."
"Yang Dong, why write a note? I can’t read, don’t worry, Aunt won’t shortchange you, I’ll bring all those hard fruits to you." Aunt Lan Hua knew about those other families who wrote notes, but since they would be relatives in the future, writing a note might not look good.
"Aunt Lan Hua, you could say our future relationship doesn’t require a note, but my third sister-in-law manages our household. I’m just doing this for her to see, just for show. You see, you won’t disagree, right?"
Yang Dong’s words greatly surprised the Yang Family present. Since when did their fourth brother learn to speak so nicely?
He just stubbornly embarrassed Aunt Lan Hua, and now he’s sugarcoating it, giving a slap and then a sweet date.
What is the fourth brother doing? Since when did he learn these tricks?
The family was too puzzled to speak, seeing the fourth brother handle the matter smoothly by himself. They just didn’t understand why the fourth brother gave five taels of silver; wasn’t five taels a bit much?
People are like this, everyone loves hearing nice words. In just a few sentences, Yang Dong made Aunt Lan Hua feel good, thinking he made sense, and believing Yang Dong wasn’t that stubborn. With his current attitude towards her as a mother-in-law in mind, she thought the future shouldn’t be bad, so she said, "Alright, let’s do as you say."
"So, Aunt Lan Hua, when do you think we should handle this?"
"Let’s do it tomorrow. We’ll handle the ceremony and the hard fruits together." Aunt Lan Hua thought, since it was about collecting silver, the sooner the better.
