Chapter 577: 577 Qingyue has such a private stash

Su Qingyue listed the herbs needed to detoxify her third brother.

The shopkeeper played with his abacus and said, “Miss, the herbs you want are very expensive, it will cost you fifty taels of silver.”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s fifty taels. I inquired about the price already.” She told her three husbands at home that it would cost seventy taels for her third brother’s medicine, and that was because…

She only had the eight taels of private money she got from Li Gui, not enough, so she also needed to save some private money for herself.

As it happened, she inflated the price by twenty taels, and the extra money went into her pocket.

As a person like her, in her last life, she was a rich tycoon with nine figures in savings. Now she was poor and couldn’t even go out without money on her.

She listed a few more herbs needed to make her usual wound medicine, which cost her several taels of silver. After paying the bill, she took the packaged medicine from the shopkeeper and put it in an empty hemp bag on the horse’s back.

Leisurely holding the reins of the horse, she went back to Lady Li’s store.

“Wife of the Xiao Family, you’re here!” Seeing her, Lady Li warmly greeted her, “Oh, even leading a horse! Your family bought a horse? I heard that the boss of Rich Source Tavern paid 300 taels for your pig offal recipe. My God, 300 taels! And many people also know that you broke Lai Tou’s leg. Wife of the Xiao Family, you’ve become somewhat famous in town!”

“Famous?” Su Qingyue laughed, “But walking all the way here, no one recognized me as this ‘famous person’.”

“People know Su Qingyue, but they may not know it’s you.”

“True.” She giggled.

Lady Li politely said, “Bring the horse to my backyard? Come and sit at my house?”

“No need, I came to pick up the three sets of clothes I ordered.”

“Alright then…” Lady Li handed her a large coarse cloth bag, “These are the three sets of clothes you ordered for your three husbands, all here.”

While holding the reins of the horse, Su Qingyue took the cloth bag, opened it, and checked the clothes inside for the correct number. She nodded, “I’ve already paid when I placed the order, so I’ll leave now.”

“Come back if you need anything.” Lady Li said with a smile.

Su Qingyue stuffed the cloth bag into the hemp bag, led the horse away from Lady Li’s store, and passed by a shoe stall. She saw many finished men’s shoes on the stall. freёwebnoѵel.com

It was a middle-aged woman running the stall. Seeing her, she was also shocked by the sores on Su Qingyue’s face, but as a business person, she was still enthusiastic to the customer, “Miss, do you want to buy shoes? Buy a pair for your father or brother.”

“I don’t have a father or brother.” Su Qingyue thought of her third brother’s worn-out shoe with a toe hole. He originally had only two pairs of shoes, and he lost one when he went to Hanging Neck Mountain to find her.

Now he only had one pair to wear.

So, she thought of buying him two pairs.

It wouldn’t be good to buy only for him.

Her second and fourth brothers’ shoes were also so worn out that they were almost unwearable.

Then she would buy two pairs for each of them.

When she decided to order ready-made clothes for them, she had secretly measured their shoe sizes as well. She picked up a man’s shoe from the stall, “The style is simple, but looks sturdy.”

The middle-aged woman said, “I made them all by hand. Although my craftsmanship is a bit lacking, as you said Miss, they are indeed very sturdy. What size do you need?”

Not exaggerating with flowery words, this stall owner seemed reliable. Su Qingyue picked the sizes – her second and third brothers had similar foot sizes, while her fourth brother had smaller feet.

The middle-aged woman laughed, “The large size shoes you want, I’ve been making them for several months but haven’t sold a single pair. Most men don’t have such big feet. Miss, do you need three pairs?”
