《The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich》Chapter 106: Take Me Home
Advertisement
Lin Yuelan thought for a moment and nodded. "Tell me, what is it?"
The three hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver sounded like she was demanding an exorbitant price, but in reality, it was already very cheap.
Jiang Zhennan aside, Guo Bing alone was worth more than that. Therefore, all of their lives added together was far more than three hundred and thirty thousand taels. Therefore, she did not feel ashamed at all for asking them for three hundred and thirty thousand.
'But wait. Is the masked uncle going to bargain with me?' Realizing that, Lin Yuelan immediately said, "Wait, masked uncle, are you trying to bargain with me? Let me make this clear, three hundred and thirty thousand taels are already the lowest price. I won't accept one tael less."
The corners of their mouths had twitched for the umpteenth time. They were twitching so much that their lips were about to cramp.
They knew that the girl was a little money-grubber when she sold them the little umbrella for a tael of silver each. But it turned out she was really a big money-grubber.
She wanted more than 300000 taels of silver. Where would she put this much silver? Even if it were in the form of bank notes, that would be a huge bundle.
Guo Bing grinned and said, "Miss, why do you need so much money anyway? Couldn't you give us a discount? 200,000 is good enough. Even if we give you that much, where are you going to put it?" Guo Bing suddenly thought of something and asked again, "Oh, right, the last time we left, you said that when we meet again, you would tell us your name and where you live, right? It seems that we're fated to meet again." Without waiting for Lin Yuelan's reply, Guo Bing continued, "Since we are so fated, perhaps you can charge us less?"

He was just talking to himself.
Lin Yuelan rolled her eyes.
...
Guo Bing's injuries were still bleeding. He had lost so much blood, yet he still had the strength to bargain with her.
She chuckled at Guo Bing and said, "Fate can't be bought with money, right? Plus, could it be that the lives of the masked uncle, the First Lieutenant, and the two little brothers are not worth 330000 taels?"
"Cough, cough..." Guo Bing suddenly coughed violently.
He could not admit that their lives were not worth three hundred and thirty thousand taels. Even three million taels could not buy their lives, let alone three hundred thousand taels.
Guo Bing was a little embarrassed as he said, "Miss, you're funny. Our boss' life can't be measured with silver. His life is priceless." Jiang Zhennan was the country's War God, but they were haggling over the price of his life.
After a while, Guo Bing reacted again."Hey, that's not right, Miss. We were talking about the price of the assassins. Why did you bring it to the worth of our lives?"
Lin Yuelan curled her lips and said, "That's why I said you guys are more valuable than those men in black. There are 29 of them, but there are only five of you. Your lives are much more valuable than theirs."
Guo Bing nodded when he heard that. Of course, their lives were more valuable than those of assassins. Then, he immediately realized that something was wrong. He said with a dark face, "Miss, in any case, human lives are not measured by these silver taels. Plus, we are indeed worth more..." than those bandits. He stopped himself because he felt like something was wrong. It sounded like he was trying to argue that they should pay Lin Yuelan more.

Guo Bing felt that whenever he met Lin Yuelan, his mind would be fried. She always made him think that he had become stupid.
In fact, he didn't become stupid. It was just that this young woman was too smart. He didn't say much, but he was already trapped.
When Little Three and Little Six heard their lieutenant being led astray by Lin Yuelan, they suddenly could not bear to look at Guo Bing and felt extremely sympathetic for him.
Usually, their Lieutenant could use his speech to fool anyone, but when he was with this young woman, he looked so stupid.
