Chapter 479: The Liu Family
Translator: Lonelytree
The news that Lin Yuelan had just arrived on the big white tiger quickly reached Li Huaishan’s ears. He guessed that Lin Yuelan would definitely come later.
Lin Yuelan nodded and asked, “Who are our guests today?”
“It’s a family!” Li Huaishan said respectfully. “five people in total.” they were husband and wife and three children.
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “Yes.” One was five hundred taels, and in an instant, he had 2500 taels in his account.
Li Huaishan said hesitantly, “The people who came today are from the Liu family. ”
“The Liu family?” Lin Yuelan frowned, “Could it be that Liu family? ”
Li Huaishan replied, “yes. However, this time, young master Liu and young miss Liu are not here.”
That’s right. The Liu family was the family of Liu Qi and Liu Jiaying.
Liu Qi was the only legitimate son of the Liu family, and he was also the true heir of the Liu family. Therefore, all the servants of the Liu family’s business had to address Liu Qi as the master.
However, Liu Qi and Liu Jiaying were not well-liked by the head of the Liu family.
This was because their mother was not liked by the current head of the Liu family, Liu Yunfeng.
The one he liked was one of his younger cousins, who later became his concubine.
because of this, he even wanted to have his concubine replace his legal wife. This was a disgraceful scandal. Later, a few elders of the Liu family came forward to suppress Liu Yunfeng’s preposterous behavior so that the Liu family did not become a big joke in the town.
This made Liu Yunfeng feel guilty about the concubine. He doted on her even more. Other than the fact that she did not have the title of the official wife, the treatment and honor she received were almost like that of an official wife.
After giving birth to a bastard son, he wanted to abolish Liu Qi’s inheritance.
Fortunately, the longyan kingdom had a law against that. The punishment for removing the status of the legitimate son for no reason and secretly harming the legitimate son was very serious.
As such, Liu Yunfeng did not dare to touch Liu Qi’s status as the son of the first wife and Liu Jiaying’s status as the daughter of the first wife. Otherwise, Liu Qi would not be in power today, and Liu Jiaying would not be happy and pure.
Liu Qi was in power because the Liu family’s elders were afraid that Liu Yunfeng would act rashly and hand over the family’s inheritance to an unpresentable bastard. Thus, they forced Liu Yunfeng to hand over the power to Liu Qi. Liu Jiaying was well protected by Liu Qi and their mother.
Although Liu Yunfeng was unwilling, he had no choice but to hand over the authority to Liu Qi. Otherwise, the elders of the Liu family would come forward and execute the concubine who was the culprit.
However, after handing over the power to Liu Qi, Liu Yunfeng treated Liu Qi and his mother as if they were his enemies. Therefore, he pampered this concubine and his three children.
Because of her relationship with Liu Qi and Liu Jiaying, Lin Yuelan definitely looked down on Liu Yunfeng and disdained his narrow-mindedness.
However, since they were offering money to her, there was no reason to refuse.
Lin Yuelan said, “Go and tell them that they have more than four people, so each of them must pay 100 taels more.”
Li Huaishan was stunned for a moment.
Five hundred taels for one was already a sky-high price. Now that there was an increase of one hundred taels, that would be six hundred taels. Wouldn’t that scare away the customers?
Li Huaishan was a little doubtful. ” boss, this … ”
Lin Yuelan raised her hand to stop him and said, ” just tell them that if they want my design, then they’ll have to pay 600 taels each. If they don’t, they can go. I’m very busy, and I don’t have time to deal with these idle people.”
Li Huaishan had no choice but to reply respectfully, ” yes, boss. I’ll go tell them now.”
After that, he worriedly went to find the few guests.
Not long after, a woman’s sharp questioning voice was heard, “What right do you have to increase the price by 100 taels? Li Huaishan, I think you’ve gone crazy thinking about money. 600 taels for a piece of clothing, why don’t you just go rob someone?” Six hundred taels were her annual allowance.
Li Huaishan was being pointed at and scolded. His expression was extremely bad as he said, “madam, this shop is only doing fair trading. We’re doing business on a voluntary basis. If madam feels that it’s too expensive, you can totally visit some other store.”
If you want it, you’ll pay six hundred taels. If you don’t want it, you’ll leave.
Madam Liu’s face was ashen from anger.
Ever since Li Huaishan’s shop had reopened, the business had been booming. If one wanted to buy a new and beautiful piece of clothing from him, they had to queue up.
A month ago, the shop announced that the top designer of this shop could custom-make a set of clothes for the customers.
However, they wanted 500 taels of the silver per set.
Since the mayor’s family got the first set, many people were just impressed. The designs were so beautiful.
Hence, she had pestered Liu Yunfeng for a long time before he agreed to bring his family here and design a set for each of them. She did not expect that he would suddenly ask for more money.
However, if they missed this opportunity, they didn’t know when it would be their turn again.
One must know that this person would only design for two people or two families a month. from what she knew, there was a long line of people waiting in line.
Madam Liu gritted her teeth and said, “Alright, six hundred taels it is! ”
