Chapter 783 Take their pants off
The people of the town had long been deprived of such things, the innkeeper and his brother-in-law made things difficult for them so often that they have long forgotten what kindness meant and to make things worse those who were slightly better than the poor people of the town also followed the example which was set by the innkeeper and his brother in law.
One of these people was the butcher of the town who bought pigs from the village which was next to their town at a low price and then sold it to the people living in the town at a high price, the people in the town wanted to go to the village to buy meat as well but the fee of ox cart was not low and they could not afford to pay double the prize to buy something which was half of the fee of the ox cart, thus they could only lower their heads and accept the unfair price.
Thus, when they heard that there was a kind-hearted woman selling snake meat at the market price they all picked up pots and pans and rushed to the inn where they brought as much meat as they could afford, even if they could not eat it at once it was better to store it by drying and using it later on.
The hundreds of kilograms of meat were sold rather quickly, and after selling the meat Su Wan and her husbands counted the money upon seeing that they have received thirty silver taels from the town's physician and a total of five silver taels from the people of the town, Su Wan nodded in satisfaction and then turned to look at the innkeeper as she asked,
" Did you not say that the worth of this python was only five taels? How come I was able to sell it for more than thirty taels?"
The innkeeper eyed Su Wan with an annoyed look on his face, of course, that python which was bigger than two men lying on the ground one after another was worth thirty taels, it was just that he wanted to make a profit by sweet talking with this family who looked like they were country bumpkins, he never expected that this woman who looked small and sweet was such a sharp-tongued woman, in just a few words she had silenced him to the point where he could not even say anything.
" Hehe, it looks like that Mrs Lin had made a fortune," though the innkeeper was upset at Su Wan for making him face such a loss he did not dare to say anything, instead he praised her for being hardworking and kind-hearted.
There was nothing he could do, Su Wan's husbands were the ones who caught this python and they were the ones who were responsible for deciding how they will use this python. In fact, if they were any weaker he would have snatched the python away but
—— he raised his head and looked at Lin Chen and Shen Junxi who were like two moving mountains and then lowered his head while a shiver danced up his spine, these men did not look like they were someone who could be bullied which was why he did not dare to say anything and simply acted as if he was an honest innkeeper.
When Su Wan saw that the innkeeper was not saying anything, she did not make things difficult for him instead she drank some snake soup with her husbands and then family and then went back to sleep.
Since she was with a child getting drowsy after running around was rather normal but maybe it was because she was in a different place she could not settle down and then rolled on the bed left and right.
Mother Lin and Old Madam Shen went to sleep quickly as soon as their heads hit the pillow given that they were old and started snoring, only Su Wan was the one who was restless, no, in fact, it would be better to say that it was her child who was restless.
He twisted here and he twisted there, Su Wan who was advancing to the seventh month of her pregnancy after transitioning from the sixth month could feel her child causing a ruckus inside her.
" You.. your father is such a silent guy, so why are you so restless?" She questioned as she poked her belly which was feeling a bit uneasy. In response to her question, the child knocked into her belly with his legs causing Su Wan's eyes to turn gloomy.
' Act as crazy as you want once you are out see how I straighten up you brat.' Su Wan thought in her head.
She wanted to go to sleep but when she saw just how restless the child was she decided to give up on her desire to fall asleep and then pushed herself off the bed as she headed towards the window where she looked around at the dilapidated building and houses along with the moon which was shining brightly in the inky sky, the entire place was full of tranquillity and peace but then this peace was broken by two figures who tried to climb up the wall of the inn.
Su Wan narrowed her eyes, in fact, she was not even surprised when she saw that two figures were trying to sneak inside the inn. The news that she had made at least thirty taels must have spread all over the town, it was no surprise that these people came to find trouble with her.
With a roll of her eyes, she called, " Little Xu, go and take care of them."
Little Xu was the shadow guard who was hired by Su Wan's second uncle who was a rich merchant. He used to work as a mercenary but then he lost vision in one of his eyes and could no longer take missions which were too dangerous.
But taking care of two small thieves was still something that he could do!
