The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 284 Equivalent Substitution
Just as Old Mrs. Wang was about to start wailing, Red Hare quickly raised his hands in surrender.

"Madam, Madam, I didn't mean that!"

Even if the Wang family really refused to give it to him, he would never force them, much less steal or rob them.

Compared to this, Miss Ayu's safety is more important.

This was the highest order he received.

Grandma Wang composed herself and waved the sign in front of her eyes: "Alright, what do you mean? Are you going to ask us for it? That's not impossible. Anyway, this thing is just a piece of junk and shouldn't be worth much money. It's just taking up space."

Red Hare quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, it's worthless, just an ordinary thing."

"Oh, that's all. I'll have the blacksmith melt it down tomorrow and make a chain for my Ayu to leash the dog."

Red Hare: ? ? ?
"No, no, no, I misspoke, Madam. This thing may be of little use to you, but it is extremely useful to me, no, to our young master. As for its specific uses, I cannot say for your safety. Please do not press me any further."

When he started using the self-designations of his subordinates, Old Mrs. Wang knew when to back down.

“Fine, it’s going to be sold anyway, so what difference does it make who we sell it to?” said Old Mrs. Wang. “How much are you planning to offer? Let me make this clear: if you offer too little or deliberately try to lower the price, I’ll melt it down immediately and write to your young master that you insulted him first.”

Red Hare: "..."

What a terrible old lady who should be in charge of the household! How come she keeps doing such thuggish things!

Red Hare took a deep breath and told himself not to rush or panic.

He had no choice but to say, "It should be worth one hundred and eighty taels. In consideration of your past care for our young master, I will give you two hundred taels. What do you think?"

Grandma Wang had a smile on her face, but she didn't answer.

Red Hare's heart skipped a beat, and he proactively raised the price a little more: "Then, five hundred taels?"

"Are you kidding me? Do you think we're short of five hundred taels of iron?" Old Mrs. Wang sighed. "Let's just melt it down. It's still five hundred taels of iron. We can make an iron general and hang it on the Wang family's gate. That would be fine."

Red Hare: "One thousand taels." "I wonder how Manager Chen Yuan is doing. He seemed to have said that he would give us a bonus of three thousand taels next year..." Old Mrs. Wang looked up at the sky.

Red Hare gritted his teeth: "Two thousand taels, Madam, that's all I have on me."

He didn't bring much with him.

When Old Mrs. Wang didn't say anything, Chitu felt uneasy.

This old lady doesn't play by the rules, and she seems to have figured out that he won't use violence.

"Madam, just give me a straight answer. How much do you want? I'll give you whatever I can. To be honest, this thing isn't worth much at all. You see, it's just a piece of iron. It's just that our young master's elder lost it many years ago, and he's always had something to think about. Now that we've finally found it, we thought we'd buy it back to make the elder happy."

Grandma Wang glanced at Red Hare, her eyes seeming to hold a deeper meaning, yet also as if she were just glancing at it casually.

"Young man, I won't make things difficult for you. They're both elderly people, and I understand how much that old man values ​​this item. So I'm happy to sell it to you. Let's not talk about anything else; it'll be an equal exchange."

"The old lady is very understanding!" Red Hare quickly flattered, "So, what is your offer?"

"Didn't I just say it's priceless?" said Old Mrs. Wang. "A thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver."

Red Hare gasped.

"Give me the two thousand taels you have on you first, and then give me an IOU for a thousand taels. Make up for it within three months, and this thing is yours." Old Madam Wang looked at Red Hare. "Three months is enough for you to travel back and forth to Wanning City and ask your young master for reimbursement."

"I'll give you the things first; take them to complete your task. Come back later to sign and seal the IOU. I'm sure you won't renege on your debt, will you?"

With that, she handed the items to Red Hare, turned around, and walked away with light steps.

Red Hare felt as if the small token in his arms suddenly weighed a thousand pounds.
