Fifty taels is no small sum, you could buy two ugly women with that. Madam Qian is clearly trying to rob us.
Xiao Yuchuan laughed, "Madam Qian, your life isn't even worth fifty taels, do you really dare to ask for that much!"
"Your life isn't even worth fifty taels," Madam Qian blushed red from his words, "Your wife was only bought for sixteen taels, her life is worth just that amount!"
"Who said that," Xiao Yuchuan coldly replied, "My wife is the most expensive wife in the village. Whose wife can earn three hundred taels, let's hear it!"
"..."
Madam Qian was silenced momentarily, and the others couldn't argue.
With the wives and daughters-in-law in the village, those who can make a bit of money are many. Some can sell a bit of vegetables, most can make a few copper coins from embroidery, and the more capable can do some small business, like selling wonton soup in town. But they all earn small change, none of them are as capable as Su Qingyue.
