PWDLAW Chapter 413: Saving Face

 Chapter 413: Saving Face

Having thought it through, Chu Xueqin naturally didn't expose the situation to avoid embarrassment for both parties. "Before my mother came, she asked me to buy enough saplings for both younger brothers. In total, she wants forty saplings but it seems like the quantity may not be enough."


"Can Sister-in-law consider letting me have these saplings?"


Wang didn't expect Chu Xueqin to say this. She was even more surprised by the quantity of forty saplings, which would cost a total of four taels of silver.


Although his words inadvertently showed off and he inadvertently implied some flaunting, considering that he earned silver because of his little brother, Chu Xueqin wouldn't hold back. Even though he unintentionally displayed a bit of showing off, the words also protected the face of the second family.


At least the people of the second family wouldn't feel comfortable gossiping about him.


He didn't care.


"Thank you, Sister-in-law."


After Chu Xueqin finished speaking, he added, "I'll go ask Fourth Aunt if she's willing to give them to me. Brother Xing is the one who likes planting trees the most."


After saying this, he went straight to find Kong Shi to talk.


Luchuan nodded silently, knowing that Ninth Master was helping the second and fourth families get out of the predicament. He remained silent.


Wang didn't stay long. After Chu Xueqin left, she forced a smile, greeted Luchuan and turned around to go home.


Compared to staying here and watching other brothers spend money without hesitation, she would rather go back and make more Zhuge Suo to earn some silver. Yesterday, Chu Xing even mentioned that some carpenters in the nearby county had already studied Zhuge Suo. It was likely that the business would be taken over gradually and there would be no need to make Zhuge Suo anymore.


She only hoped to persist a bit longer and earn a few hundred wen more.


On this side, Chu Xueqin found Kong Shi and explained the situation. When Kong Shi heard that the second family hadn't bought any, she originally wanted to make a gesture. Now, seeing someone accompanying her, she naturally went along with Chu Xueqin's words and promised not to buy.


"This child Xing has loved planting trees since he was young. The peaches he planted last time tasted very good. As an elder, how can I bear to snatch something the younger generation wants? Naturally, I'll satisfy Xing." Kong Shi said it in a way that made her look generous.


Chu Xueqin knew that she just wanted to save face. He didn't expose it to avoid embarrassment. With a smile on his face, he said, "I'll tell Xing in the evening and ask him to come and thank Fourth Aunt."


"Then I won't be polite." Kong Shi said a few more words and didn't stay any longer. She caught up with Wang.


They both went to the second family together.


After arriving, they repeated what they had said before. When speaking in front of Sun Shi, Kong Shi said, "Second Sister-in-law, I was thinking that your family doesn't want to plant them. It's not appropriate to buy them alone, so I won't buy either. This way, the two sisters-in-law can accompany each other."


Sun Shi, with a smile that wasn't really a smile, said, "Thanks to Fourth Brother and Sister-in-law for thinking about it."


"No need to thank. You know my intentions." Kong Shi laughed heartily and didn't stay any longer. When she left, there was still a somewhat proud expression on her face.


Kong Shi didn't want to buy the saplings at all. If they were medicinal herbs, she would be willing to plant some. Now, it was just an ordinary condiment used for eating. Although it could barely be considered a medicinal herb, its price wasn't high. She really didn't want to spend so much silver on planting an ordinary tree.
