C8 Negotiating Price

But Xia Changping did not let her go out. Instead, he said in a commanding tone, "Just listen to me and stay at home until we come back."

After saying that, Xia Changping left with Shen Yao.

Today, Xia Qingyun also followed them out to work, leaving Xia Yu alone in the room.

The attentive Xia Yu felt that something was not right. I don't know what the problem is, so I could only stay in the room for the time being.

Not long after Xia Changping and the others left, someone knocked on the door. "Is anyone home?"

From the sound of it, it was a woman, and she seemed to be quite old.

Xia Yu peeked out of the door and saw an old woman dressed in plain clothes. She had no idea what she was doing there.

"Who are you looking for?" Xia Yu asked from inside.

The old woman said, "Is this the Xia family? I was invited by the Xia family. If so, open the door for me."

They were here to look for the Xia family? Could it be that Xia Changping and Shen Yao had invited them here?

Xia Yu thought that since she knew that the Xia family was here, there must be a reason, so she just let her in.

When the old woman saw Xia Yu, she looked her up and down. "You must be the eldest daughter of their family, right?"

She had just said that she was looking for the Xia family. Looking at her eyes, it did not seem like she was looking for Xia Changping.

"I am their daughter. Are you looking for my father or my mother?" Xia Yu sized up this old woman and was a little confused.

The old woman gave her a faint smile. "I am not looking for your father or mother. I am looking for you."

"Looking for me? I didn't ask you to come here. Why are you looking for me?"

"The godmother from the village next door was obviously someone from your Xia family who asked me to come and take a look. She said her position so clearly that Yu could see it clearly. Could it be that she was wrong?"

Xia Yu originally wanted to deny it, but suddenly remembered Xia Changping and Shen Yao's strange reactions today and had no choice but to believe that it was true.

Since she was a godmother, she must be in charge of ghosts and gods. Could it be that Xia Changping and Shen Yao thought she was possessed by a ghost?

"Alright, since my parents invited you here, then let me take a look and see if I'm a ghost or a god."

Xia Yu felt that this matter was definitely not Xia Changping's idea. It was most likely a bad idea that Xia Changlian, who had been reflecting on her mistakes behind closed doors, had come up with. As expected, that woman was not an easy person to deal with, and she still did not learn her lesson.

The sonar smiled faintly and opened the little bundle he had brought with him.

She held a talisman in her hand and started chanting gibberish at Xia Yu. She shook her head and looked very funny.

Xia Yu had received a modern education. This kind of scary thing could not possibly fool her.

This person was actually invited by Xia Changlian, and most likely did not have any good intentions. He just watched closely as she acted.

The old woman read for a while, then grabbed a handful of glutinous rice and soaked it in the water. She then put the Glyph of Ghost in her hand into the water and stirred it a few times before sprinkling it on Xia Yu.

Xia Yu was getting a little impatient. "Can you tell what I am?"

The old woman smiled and her casual expression immediately changed. She pointed at Xia Yu and shouted, "Monster! You actually possessed a girl of the Xia family! Hurry up and leave!"

Xia Yu looked up at the sky and knew that this was the result.

However, she was not stupid enough to argue with this woman. In ancient times, people believed in these godmothers. Anyway, as long as she spoke nonsense, it would be impossible for her to explain herself.

Xia Yu's foundation here was not yet stable. She could not afford any trouble.

She went up to the Goddess' side and whispered, "You didn't say who I am. Tell me, how much silver did your employer give you?"

The old woman vehemently denied, "You witch, don't talk nonsense. I am a disciple of Old Lord Taishang, why would I accept those filthy things?"

Xia Yu raised a finger. "Do you think this amount is enough? I don't think she can give you that much."

What she meant was one tael of silver. Of course Xia Changlian wouldn't pay so much because she didn't have that much silver.

The old woman hesitated, blinked at Xia Yu, and then looked outside the wall.

When Xia Yu saw this, she immediately realized what she meant. She meant that there was someone listening in from the corner of the wall.

Wasn't that right?

Since the Goddess had already been invited over, she had no choice but to find an opportunity to come in and confirm her identity as a witch.

Xia Yu continued to speak to the old woman in a low voice, "I will give you another tael of silver at most. If you miss this chance, you won't get another chance. The money that woman and my father gave you may not even add up to this much."

The old woman thought about it carefully and then quietly replied to Xia Yu, "You little girl, you can't be trying to get information from me, right?"

What she meant was that Xia Yu was using this trick to get information out of her. In fact, she did not have any money at all.

In fact, Xia Yu was indeed like this. But if she really had to take it out, she could still take it out.

"If you don't believe me, I'll give you the silver right now!"

After Xia Yu finished speaking, she went into the house and closed the door behind her. She took out two taels of silver from the box where Xia Changping usually kept his winnings.

The two taels of silver was not a small amount, but Xia Yu felt that it was necessary to spend it. She would be able to earn it back very quickly.

After coming out of her room, she handed the two taels of silver to the godmother. "I said that as long as I can afford it, I can afford it. Of course, I won't give you a single cent less."

The Granny smiled as she took the two taels of silver, "Lady, you are so understanding. I am too embarrassed to argue with you. In fact, it was your aunt who wanted me to see what you really are. I have to give you an explanation. "

"If she wants an explanation, just give it to her. I believe you will know what to say after you take the silver. I remember Yu Chu Chu. If you go back on your word, I have a way to ruin your reputation! "

The smile on her face faded a little, but she was still happy when she looked at the Silver in her hand," Don't worry, young lady. I will settle this for you. "

He seemed to have an idea.

"What do you plan to do?" Xia Yu asked her.

The godmother gave Xia Yu a meaningful smile. "It's very simple. All you have to do is tell me, do you want the mastermind to have an easy time, or do you want him to have a hard time?"

"Of course he will have a hard time. Do you think you will let someone who set you up have a good time?"

The Granny God shook her head. "Of course not. Whoever dares to bully me, I will return the favor!"

"Since you have said so, let's do as you say."

The godmother was about to put away the silver, but she hesitated, "Is it all right for you to give me all this silver? If I take it away, you can settle the score with me. "

"Don't worry. Maybe I will need you in the future. Besides, it won't do me any good to take care of you."

When the Nanny heard this, she felt that she was wrong. She looked Xia Yu up and down and felt a little puzzled in her heart.

The girl from the Xia family was called a fool by others, but now it seemed that she really wasn't a fool. Just as Xia Changlian had said, she had probably changed into a different person.

Granny God Yagan didn't understand these things either. Setting up a stall to read fortunes was just for the sake of earning money, right?

After getting the money, the Godly Lady started to put on an act. "Aiya! Someone come! This witch is going to show her might!"

Since the two of them had agreed on this, Xia Yu naturally believed in the Granny's way of dealing with things and began to play along with her. "Stop talking nonsense. If you're going to call yourself a demon, then you're the demon!"
