But I'll Give You a Discount

Zhao Lili spat out all the tea she was drinking.

"What... what did you just say? No, are you out of your mind? You want to be my dad's sister?"

"Then I'd have to call you 'aunt'? Have you no shame? Have you no shame?"

Old Master Zhao looked at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"Your idea is good. Actually, our generation was all boys."

My mother has always wanted a girl, and today her wish has finally come true.

Come on, I'll take you to the ancestral hall. From now on, you'll be my sister.

Zhou Wanwan almost died laughing. How could this Old Master Zhao be so eccentric?

Zhao Lili's face turned green, while Zhao Rui stood there dumbfounded, never expecting such a thing to happen.

Who would have thought that the servant he brought back just the day before yesterday would become his younger sister today? Bah! He'd become his great-aunt.

He hugged Old Master Zhao's leg tightly and said:

Grandpa, please think about me!

"If I went out and said I had such a big aunt, wouldn't I be laughed at to death?"

Zhao Lili also said, "Dad, please have mercy! Spare our whole family's lives!"

Old Master Zhao looked at them and said:

"You don't know anything! This is my soulmate, this is my sister, this is my family. You have no idea what I'm like."

Does anyone here have been able to find such precious flowers and plants?

Zhao Lili cried, tears streaming down her face, "I can! I can definitely find better flowers and plants than this one! Dad, please don't be impulsive!"

Old Master Zhao ignored her and took Zhou Wanwan to the Zhao Family ancestral hall.

Zhao Lili stamped her feet in frustration. "Damn it, am I supposed to call that brat 'aunt'?"

Thinking about this, she felt unwilling to give up.

But Old Master Zhao is a rascal. Let's put it this way: the Zhao Family is where it is today entirely because of Old Master Zhao. No one dares to disobey his orders.

Old Master Zhao quickly made a decision. "Let's hold a banquet tomorrow, a flower-viewing banquet! Then we'll announce it."

The younger members of the family were all wailing, "Who would have thought? We'd actually have to call a six-year-old 'Grandma'! How embarrassing!"

"Am I not allowed to leave? This is incredibly embarrassing!"

Zhao Rui looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Zhou Wanwan, go tell Grandpa that you're not going to be his sister anymore. I order you, go right now."

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "My dear grandson, stop fooling around and behave. I'll give you a reward later."

Zhao Rui gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think I need your little bit of reward money?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Whether I give you a reward or not, you'll have to listen to me from now on."

"Don't even think about it. If you stay in the Zhao Family, you'll never have a good life."

Zhou Wanwan laughed and said, "I've never liked living a comfortable life. The harder life is, the better, the more challenging it is."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Zhao Rui was so angry that he stomped his feet.

"That brat is too arrogant!"

If she really becomes my great-aunt, how am I supposed to live? I need to go find my grandma right away.

He went straight to Old Lady Zhao, crying, "Grandma, I'm being bullied to death!"

Old Lady Zhao looked at him and said, "Oh dear! My dear grandson, what's wrong? Does anyone in our family dare to bully you?"

Zhao Rui cried, "Yes, she's a six-year-old girl, and the problem is, Grandpa wants to make her his great-aunt."

Old Lady Zhao was furious:

"Outrageous! Where did this brat come from?"

She thinks she can just climb all over us and piss on our heads? Does she think she can just show her face at the Zhao Family?

"I'll see today just how capable she is, daring to bully my precious grandson."

Then we saw Old Master Zhao walk in with Zhou Wanwan.

Old Lady Zhao looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "You're Zhou Wanwan? You've got some nerve!"

Zhou Wanwan smiled at Old Lady Zhao and said, "Sister-in-law."

Old Lady Zhao was speechless.

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, have you been looking for a cosmetic product from Capital City lately?"

Old Lady Zhao looked at Zhou Wanwan suspiciously and asked, "How did you know?"

That cosmetic product was exclusively sold at the most famous pharmacy in Capital City.

Moreover, only a few boxes are available each time, making it impossible for ordinary people to obtain the goods.

Even with the Zhao Family's wealth, it would be difficult to buy one.

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said:

"This cosmetic is exactly what I own. Do you think it's this one?"

This cosmetic isn't widely available outside the family; it's usually kept for personal use because it contains many precious medicinal herbs.

It contains ginseng, astragalus, lingzhi, snow lotus, cordyceps, pearl powder...

Even if it sells for over 1000 taels of silver on the market, we actually don't make much profit.

Zhao Lili rolled her eyes and said, "That's utter nonsense. Why would a box of cosmetics need to be so expensive?"

Zhou Wanwan sighed helplessly and said:

"It seems you really don't understand cosmetics. This cosmetic has anti-aging properties."

After using it for a while, you'll find your skin has improved a lot.

Zhao Lili was utterly skeptical of such claims.

Zhao Rui chimed in, "Grandma, don't believe her nonsense. Not a single word she says is true."

Zhou Wanwan took out two bottles of face cream and said:

"What you're saying is the truth. Do you even know me? We've only known each other for a few days!"

Sister-in-law, take a look at this, is it what you want?

Old Madam Zhao took it and her eyes lit up:

"Oh my, one of my best friends used this cosmetic, and the wrinkles on her face have decreased so much!"

Then I asked someone to buy it for me, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Could it be real?

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said:

"You can look it up anytime! You can find out with a simple search. Of course, you can try it, don't worry!"

"Things we use on our faces have to be the best. Besides, we're the Zhao Family; we're not short of money."

Old Madam Zhao held Zhou Wanwan's hand and said, "Sister, you're right. Do you still have these kinds of cosmetics? If so, I'll buy them all."

Zhou Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "There are just too many varieties. Which one do you want to buy?"

Old Madam Zhao smiled and said, "Anyway, as long as it's comfortable to use, that's fine."

Zhou Wanwan clapped her hands, and dozens of maids filed in. These maids were all beautiful, and their clothes were no less exquisite than those of the Zhao Family.

The fabric of the clothes she was wearing was actually brocade.

The tray was filled with all sorts of cosmetics.

Zhou Wanwan introduced:

"These are all samples; feel free to try them if you're interested."

If I think the trial goes well, then I'll get the finished product.

Even though we're on the same side, this still needs to be calculated in terms of money.

However, we will give you a discount.

The ladies around Old Madam Zhao all gathered around and exclaimed, "Oh my! Isn't this the most famous cosmetics brand in the capital, Hundred Grasses Hall?"

"Yes! This is Luozi Dai (螺子黛), I wanted to buy it last time, but it was too expensive. What's the price here?"

Zhou Wanwan said calmly, "In the capital, this would cost 10 taels of gold, but since we're all family, let's make it one tael!"
