Chapter 109 From now on, I can only watch her from afar (56)
Mrs. Xiao brought her son to visit the Xue family.
As a result, he was not even allowed to enter the hall, but was taken directly to the martial arts training ground that the Xue family had temporarily set up.
Xue Lin sat on a chair outside the field, watching his wife wielding a spear like a tiger roaring in the wind. Her rapid and torrential spear skills were a feast for the eyes.
Mrs. Xue probably also saw someone coming, so she made a gun flower, made a graceful ending move, and stopped.
"Good!" Xue Lin clapped his hands enthusiastically, "Madam's shooting skills are really getting better and better."
"I can't say they are that powerful, but I can scare people!" Mrs. Xue gave the Xiao mother and son a meaningful look.
"I guess it's Madam Xiao and your son!" Madam Xue wiped her hands with the handkerchief handed to her by her husband Xue Lin and said, "The mansion is still under renovation, and the reception hall is also still being tidied up. I can only ask you two to sit here for a while."
One could hear an apology in his words, but he didn't even offer anyone a cup of tea; he just sat there.
The Xue couple did not speak to each other, but talked about the recent renovation of the house.
Mrs. Xiao felt a little nervous, but she still pretended to be calm.
As time passed, there was silence on the training ground and the atmosphere became extremely awkward.
"Mrs. Xue, I am visiting you this time because of the matter of the shop a few days ago." Mrs. Xiao saw that she could not wait for the other party to speak, so she could only take the initiative to tell him the purpose of her visit, "The shop was a mistake made by my family.
Our original intention was to rent it out, not to sell it, but now that things have come to this, I want to buy the shop back.”
"Sure!" Mrs. Xue said readily, "It's just a shop, it's not a big deal. Mrs. Xiao can buy it back if she wants."
Xue Lin also nodded and calculated with his fingers: "For the shop fee, the handling fee of the red deed, plus the compensation for wasting our time, Madam will just give me three thousand taels."
"Well, if we calculate it this way, we still lost some money." Mrs. Xue sighed with some "heartache", "After all, there is a fee for canceling the red deed, and the procedures are also very complicated."
"Forget it. After all, it's the Duke's Mansion. We should at least give it some face." Xue Lin "persuaded" him, "It's nothing to take 500 taels less. It's a profit! It's okay if we lose less."
After hearing these words, Mrs. Xiao could see that the couple had no intention of "selling" the shop back to her.
Once her temper flared up, she stood up and prepared to start her "performance".
But this time, before Madam Xiao started, Madam Xue suddenly held her gun in her hand and said, "Madam Xiao comes from a family in the capital, I wonder if she can play with a gun!"
Mrs. Xiao's expression froze, her legs softened, and she sat back down without saying a word.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Xiao Ji felt that it was a bit embarrassing for his mother to come to "ask" for the store, but he still said stubbornly: "My mother is a lady from a wealthy family, how could she have these things."
"Then I am different from your mother." Madam Xue continued, "This spear is made of the 'iron wood' that is unique to our place. It is about six feet six inches long and weighs five pounds and seven ounces. Although it is not as strong as the weapons used by men, it is also considered strong."
"Madam, I don't agree with what you said." Xue Lin looked unhappy, "Not all men can wield a spear. A scholar like me can't do it."
"That's right!" Madam Xue said as she walked back to the martial arts training ground. "I won't make it difficult for Madam Xiao. If you think three thousand taels is too high, you can pick any weapon over there. Let's have a fight. If you can take three of my moves, I'll sell it to you for two thousand taels."
Mrs. Xiao didn't know what to say at this moment. Even the price of two thousand taels was too high for her.
What's more, she was so weak that she would just get beaten up if she went up.
This style of behavior made Mrs. Xiao feel powerless.
In the past, those who bought her shop were all people who cared about their reputation and were willing to be reasonable. She would always be successful if she put her reputation at risk.
If you have no shame, you are invincible!
The Mrs. Xue he met this time was totally unresponsive to his advice and she was unable to complete any of her requests.
This isn't just hitting a wall, it's running head-on into a mace!
Xiao Ji originally wanted to "step forward", but having just witnessed Madam Xue's marksmanship, he was not sure of winning.
Moreover, judging from the age of the other party, she is his elder and a woman, so it would be bad whether he wins or loses.
"Mrs. Xue, you're joking. I don't have the ability to do that." Mrs. Xiao gritted her teeth and said, "Since we can't agree on the price, forget it!"
After saying this, he took his son and left.
Before leaving Xue's house and passing through the courtyard, he happened to see Xue Han and the Xie brothers and sisters together.
The intimacy between Xue Han and Xie Jingshu made Xiao Ji's eyes turn red.
"Xie Jingshu, do you still have any sense of propriety?" Xiao Ji didn't care about the occasion at this time and directly scolded, "What are you doing in public?"
"This is a private residence, not a public place. I'm just talking to my fiancée for a while. What does it have to do with you?" Xue Han stood in front of Xie Jingshu.
Xie Jinglan didn't say anything and went straight up to Xiao Ji and slapped him in the face: "Watch your mouth. If you can't speak, just shut up."
Xie Jingshu narrowed her eyes and looked at Xiao Ji for a long while, as if she finally recognized who he was: "It's you! The ugly freak who hurt people and ruined the fun at the temple fair."
