Chapter 316: Want to get something for nothing
Xiao Shiyu said that Nan Xuanwei didn't need to worry about the wedding, so she really didn't care and focused on refining the pills. All the fourth-grade pills she refined were distributed to her senior brothers, master and Xiao Shiyu.
Xiao Ran and Chen Yue were also entrusted to ask Nan Xuanwei for elixirs. They didn't even enter Nan Xuanju's door and were stopped outside by Xiao Qingyan.
"Qingyan, I am your aunt. I can't even get in the door when I come to visit my nephew. If people find out, everyone in the capital will laugh at me. We are not here to cause trouble today. We really want to ask Weiwei for help."
"Aunt, I know you are here to ask for elixirs, right? My sister-in-law has been busy in the pharmacy for several days and hasn't come out. Now the people who are asking for elixirs can line up outside the city gate. Let's put it this way, there are no quotas this year. Not to mention you, even if my parents come, they won't be able to get elixirs."
"Qingyan, I haven't seen you for more than ten days. Your face is white and tender, like a peeled egg. Did you take some medicine? Can you give some to my aunt? I need more maintenance at my age."
"This is the result of my sister-in-law's acupuncture and herbal facial mask. I also did it twice a few days ago. Now my sister-in-law is not free, and I haven't done any maintenance for several days."
Chen Yue looked around like a thief and said, "Qingyan, let us go in and sit for a while. Your aunt and I will leave in half an hour."
"My sister-in-law's master and several godfathers live here now. It's really not appropriate for you to go in."
"Look, her relatives and friends can live in there, but we, the Xiao family, are not allowed to sit there for even a moment." Chen Yue's best skill was to fan the flames.
"This is the dowry that Chairman Zhao and Patriarch Lin gave to my sister-in-law. Is there anything wrong with using it to entertain her family? Second Aunt, don't say anything sour. If you have the ability, you can also buy a mountain and build a house. When the time comes, you can let whoever wants to live there decides what you feel like. How great!"
It would cost at least 1 billion to buy the whole mountain and build a house of this size. Her family doesn't have the money to do that.
The two of them went back to the old house to complain, and Duan Jinshu reminded them: "From now on, Weiwei will be the mistress of this house, and you are guests. You must put yourself in the right place."
"Mom, even if Nan Xuanwei has so many people begging her now, she will be a member of the Xiao family after marrying into our family. Is it too much for me to ask her for a few pills? What's more, she paid for it, not for free."
"How much does your friend give for a pill?"
"Five...five million. We are all relatives. Is it necessary to haggle over every penny? Logically speaking, my second sister-in-law and I are her elders. She should give us some pills."
"What have you, as an elder, given to Weiwei? Every time you look for Weiwei, you either ask for something or cause trouble. If you put yourself in her shoes, would you give such a gift to a relative?" Xiao Qinian scolded his daughter.
After sitting for a while and seeing that no one paid attention to him, Chen Yue left in dismay. Xiao Ran approached the old lady and said, "Mom, Shi Yu's wife must have given you some pills, right? Give me a few!"
"You think that pills are cabbages that can be taken out casually. The materials used in alchemy are specially processed. The process is very complicated. It takes several days to refine a furnace, and the success rate is very low. Basically, it is good if you can succeed once or twice in ten furnaces. You have to spend money to buy those medicinal materials, and you have to stare at the medicine furnace for several hours or even more than ten hours. How dare you ask for a few pills? I don't have any!"
"Mom, I've already promised them. Just give me two Qi-nourishing Pills and I'll transfer 10 million to your phone."
Under normal circumstances, Duan Jinshu might have given her two pills. Seeing her taking it for granted, Duan Jinshu shook his head decisively, "We don't have any. During the Chinese New Year, Weiwei gave your father and me a pill each. How could I have the nerve to ask her for more? She gave us all the pills she made before the New Year. I heard from President Zhao that Weiwei's pills for this year have all been reserved. Tell your friends that they can't buy them anymore."
"If you calculate it this way, she still made a profit by marrying into our family. Our Shi Yu still earns more."
"If marriage is measured by who makes more money and who the family listens to, you would have been kicked out of the house long ago. Come on, we still have things to do. You don't want to help but make things more complicated. Go home!"
After returning home, Xiao Ran became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. The red-dressed ghost girl, who had almost sucked Bai Leyi's soul, went out and found several male models to hang out with for a whole night. She came back and collapsed on the sofa like a deflated ball.
The human world is still better, with delicious food, handsome men, jewelry and beautiful clothes. She is a little obsessed with this place and doesn't want to go back to the underworld.
"Tell me how abominable Nan Xuanwei is. I just wanted to get two pills from her, but she didn't even let me in. I'm Xiao Shiyu's aunt!"
Yes, we can do something with the elixir and ruin Nan Xuanwei’s reputation.
"Mom, don't worry. My friend's family has some expensive elixirs. He is pursuing me and asked me if I need any. I will go get them for you in a while."
At a critical moment, it has to be your own child. It's unreliable to rely on others. Bai Leyi was too tired to go back to her room and take a nap. When she went downstairs, Xiao Ran handed her a check for one million: "Take it to buy clothes and jewelry."
"Mom, if I helped you with this, you could have made at least tens of millions, but you only gave me one million. You're too stingy."
In order to get her daughter to help, Xiao Ran gave her another two million. Bai Leyi refused to leave and stared at her with a straight look that was a bit creepy.
Taking out another two million, Xiao Ran urged her to hurry up and do the work. Bai Leyi asked, "If I get you a bottle of elixir, how about you give me fifty million?"
"Your grandparents said that all the pills Nan Xuanwei made this year have been reserved. How could there be only one bottle?"
"She's not the only one in the world who can make medicine. Haven't you heard of Hengchuan Yushi? He's the one who competed with Nan Xuanwei in making medicine. His ability is no less than Nan Xuanwei's. It just so happens that the boy who's pursuing me has a very good relationship with Hengchuan Yushi. As long as he asks, it won't be a problem for him to take out a bottle of medicine. He's not like Nan Xuanwei who can't make a bottle of medicine in a month and still dares to call herself a master of alchemy."
"If you can get a bottle of pills, I will tell my friends that it was made by Nan Xuanwei. She is much more famous in the Imperial Capital than foreigners. You haven't seen how many people gathered at the foot of Nan Xuanju Mountain, all of whom came to ask her for pills. I am jealous when I see it. If I can make thirty or fifty pills every day, it will be more profitable than doing business."
Seeing that she fell into his trap without any guidance, Bai Leyi sneered in her heart, but said: "Let me try. If you want a bottle, you have to pay for it. It's not good to get something for nothing!"
"Then...can I transfer 20 million to you?"
"Fifty million, maybe? Half of that is enough for you. Don't be too greedy."
