Chapter 413 - 413: Good Face



After thinking about this, he naturally did not expose the other party to avoid awkwardness. “Speaking of which, before my mother came, she asked me to help my two younger brothers buy a total of 40 stalks. However, the quantity now seems to be insufficient.”

“Sister-in-law, can you let me have more saplings?”

Madam Wang did not expect Chu Xueqin to say this, and was even more surprised by the forty stalks he said. That was a total of four strings of money.

Although the other party’s words helped her out of the predicament, four strings of money made her eyes flash with disappointment. With so much money, it could be seen that the fifth branch had earned a lot from Ah Heng. On the other hand, her family’s relationship with Chu Heng’s family was average.

After working for half a month, she only earned one or two taels. How could she compare to the fifth brsnch?

“Ninth Brother, you’re welcome. If you need it urgently, you can buy it first.” Madam Wang forced a smile.

Chu Xueqin was not an ignorant person. Seeing Madam Wang’s reaction, he knew that he seemed to have unintentionally flaunted his wealth. However, when he thought about how his family earned money because of Lil’ Jin, he did not hold back. Even if what he said just now made Madam Wang understand the elements of flaunting, it also protected the face of the second branch.

At least the people from the second branch would not gossip in front of him.

He did not care.

“Thank you, Sister-in-law.”

“I’ll go ask Fourth Aunt if she’s willing to let me buy more,” Chu Xueqin said.

“Brother Xing loves planting trees.”

After he finished speaking, he went straight to talk to Madam Kong.

Lu Chuan nodded silently. He knew that the Ninth Master was helping the second and fourth branches out of their predicament, so he did not say anything more.

Madam Wang did not stay any longer. Once Chu Xueqin left, she forced a smile, greeted Lu Chuan, and turned to go home.

Compared to staying here and watching other brothers spend money without hesitation, she would rather go back and make more Zhuge Locks to earn some money. Yesterday, Ah Xing had said that a carpenter in Lin County, which was further away, had already developed the Zhuge Lock. She was afraid that business would slowly be snatched away in the future.

She only hoped that business could last a little longer and earn a few hundred copper coins.

On the other side, Chu Xueqin went to Madam Kong and explained his intentions. Madam Kong heard that the second branch did not buy any. She originally thought of only buying a few to show support, but now that she had someone to accompany her, even if she did not buy it, she would not offend anyone. Naturally, she followed Chu Xueqin’s words and agreed not to buy it.

“Ah Xing, this child, has loved to plant trees since he was young. The peaches last time tasted very good. As an elder, how could I snatch what the younger generation wants? Naturally, I’ll satisfied Ah Xing.” Madam Kong put it nicely.

Chu Xueqin knew that she just wanted to save some face. He did not expose her. Instead, he smiled. “I’ll tell Ah Xing tonight to come and thank Fourth

Aunt.”

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony.” Madam Kong said a few more words and did not stay any longer as she caught up with Madam Wang.

They went to the second branch together.

After she went, she said to Madam Sun, “Second Sister-in-law, since your family doesn’t want to grow it, I didn’t buy it too. We can be considered companions.”

“Thank you, Fourth Sister-in-law.” Madam Sun smiled.

“No need to thank me. It’s good that you know my intentions.” Madam Kong laughed loudly and did not stay any longer. She turned around and went home. Before she left, she had a smug expression on her face.

Madam Kong did not want to buy a sapling at all. If it was a medicinal herb, she would be willing to plant some. Now, it was just an ordinary seasoning for eating. Although it could be considered a medicinal herb, it was not expensive. She really did not want to spend so much money to plant an ordinary tree..
