Chapter 1215: Chapter 1221: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Face Off (2)

"Shopkeeper, I beg you, please save my daughter-in-law, just credit the ginseng to me. When I have money later, I will surely pay you back. I can sign and stamp to guarantee, I beg you..."

Situ Changge laughed softly and lowered his head, unhurriedly fiddling with the abacus in his hand, and said, "You have come to the wrong place, Sir. This is a ginseng shop, not a charitable institution or Nursing Homes. If every patient who cannot afford ginseng comes here to kneel and kowtow, should we just give away our ginseng? Then should we not do business? Wouldn’t we be doomed to bankruptcy?"

"But my daughter-in-law is dying, Shopkeeper, I’m really begging you. If she dies, my three children will become motherless. Please have mercy on my family, just credit it to me first please, wuwuwu..."

As the man spoke, he began kowtowing to Situ Changge, thud thud thud resonating loudly!

Situ Changge furrowed his brow and said coldly, "Don’t you understand what I’m saying? This is not a charitable institution. Even if you shatter your head by kowtowing, it won’t help. Now leave quickly!"

Seeing Situ Changge’s stern expression and his chilling gaze, the man slowly stood up, wiping away his tears as he walked away, murmuring, "Daughter-in-law, I have failed you, I am useless, unable to find ginseng..."

Behind the screen, Xiang Yun was tightly pressed against the gap in the screen, already thoroughly moved by the man’s sincerity towards his daughter-in-law. Especially when she saw a man of considerable stature kneeling and kowtowing for his wife, she was so moved that tears streamed down her face, almost crying out loud. And when she saw the man being scolded and driven away by Master Situ, a surge of righteousness burst forth from her, and she rushed out, not even bothering to wear her veil.

"Wait!"

Xiang Yun walked out excitedly, quickly reached the front of the man, and with red eyes, said, "Sir, I will buy the ginseng for you, in consideration of your deep affection for your wife, I will pay for your ginseng!"

Saying this, without waiting for the man to react, she strode to the counter and slapped down a twenty-two silver banknote on the counter, saying coldly, "Shopkeeper, that should be enough for two good ginseng he needs."

Situ Changge looked at Xiang Yun’s indignant little face and said softly, "Madam Mo, the human heart is treacherous; you should not trust so easily!"

Xiang Yun coldly retorted, "Shopkeeper, what you said is excellent indeed. Yes, the human heart is treacherous. Those who seem gentlemanly and upright on the surface can disregard a person’s life for just ten or eight taels of silver. No wonder the people of the world say there’s no honest merchant!"

Being mistakenly viewed as a dishonest merchant, Situ Changge felt quite wronged; he shook his head, just about to defend himself, but then saw an old palace maid rush out from behind the screen with a veil in hand. She quickly reached Madam Mo’s side and covered her head with the gauze hat, pulling her aside and whispering, "Young Madam, how can you casually come out and talk to a man? How is it proper to let people see your face?"

Xiang Yun stiffened; she had been so preoccupied with outrage and defending justice that she forgot to wear her veil, and had just rushed out to have her say! Oh, how embarrassing!

Situ Changge watched as the veil covered the expressive little face and calmly withdrew his gaze, saying, "Since Madam insists on paying for him, I better obey with respect!"

On the side, the man, seeing Master Situ genuinely ordering someone to fetch two good ginseng for him, was moved to continuously bow to Xiang Yun, "Madam, you truly are the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva. On behalf of my daughter-in-law, on behalf of our entire family, top to bottom, I thank you. You are a good person, and you will surely be rewarded..."
